The 2025 MLB season continues to fly by as we are already in the second week of May. Which players should we prioritize to pick up this week? At RotoBaller HQ, we break it all down with our mid-week waiver rankings for Week 6-- May 6 through May 11 to help fantasy managers in leagues that allow daily moves. This edition of waiver wire rankings features Spencer Steer, Matthew Liberatore, Jordan Lawlar, Tommy Kahnle, Will Vest, Coby Mayo, and Zebby Matthews.
There are key performances, prospect promotions, and injuries to watch for this week. St. Louis Cardinals left-hander Matthew Liberatore struck out a season-high eight batters while allowing one run and three walks over seven innings in his previous start. Liberatore owns a 3.07 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and 38 strikeouts over 41 innings. Injuries to monitor include Hunter Greene, J.T. Realmuto, Dylan Cease, and Andres Gimenez, who are all considered day-to-day. The Orioles recently promoted Coby Mayo to the show, who has yet to collect a hit in nine plate appearances this season.
