Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups List

Since many fantasy baseball leagues have daily waiver-wire moves or multiple waiver-wire runs per week for adding players, this early-week rankings list should help you keep track of players emerging in the middle of the week before we reach Sunday. This article will guide you through our weekly ranking of the relevant waiver-wire pickup options, including how to prioritize them for your league (depending on the league size).

Waiver wire pickup options, including how to prioritize them for your league - depending on the league size:

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Outlooks

Some of the top waiver wire names include Braden Montgomery, Cole Carrigg, Jordan Lawlar, Yoendrys Gomez, Jacob Gonzalez, and more. Read some of the waiver wire outlooks below:

Braden Montgomery, Chicago White Sox

The Chicago White Sox are officially calling up their No. 2 prospect, outfielder Braden Montgomery, for his MLB debut on Tuesday, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Montgomery is ranked as the No. 21 overall MLB prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and will get his first call to the big leagues after slashing an impressive .314/.422/.548 with a .970 OPS, 10 home runs, 13 doubles, three triples, 41 RBI, 52 runs scored, and five stolen bases in 56 games across 258 plate appearances with Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte this year.

The 23-year-old switch-hitter was the 12th overall pick in 2024 by the Boston Red Sox out of Texas A&M University. Montgomery has played both center and right field on the farm, and he should play regularly in Chicago, making him waiver-wire worthy in most fantasy formats for his plus-plus power upside. The 6-foot-2, 220-pounder could become a superstar if he tightens up his plate discipline and makes more contact. Montgomery is already making an impact and hit a walk-off homer in his MLB debut against the Braves on Tuesday.

Cole Carrigg, Colorado Rockies

The Colorado Rockies are promoting top outfield prospect Cole Carrigg to the major leagues ahead of Tuesday's contest against the Chicago Cubs. Currently, the outfielder sits as the team's No. 6 overall-ranked prospect on MLB.com. Carrigg joined the Rockies in the third round of the 2023 MLB Draft and has enjoyed a dominant start to the regular season at the Triple-A level.

With Albuquerque, Carrigg has posted a dominant .338/.414/.529 line with a stellar .943 OPS. Across this 57-game stint, the outfielder has hit six home runs and swiped an impressive 30 bags. During the 2025 campaign, Carrigg stole 46 bags while going deep 15 times across 123 games at Double-A.

With Tyler Freeman now joining Brenton Boyle, Jordan Beck, and Mickey Moniak on the injured list, Carrigg could be given ample at-bats in this lineup. His elite raw speed makes him a worthwhile waiver wire target in 12-team standard leagues.

Jordan Lawlar, Arizona Diamondbacks

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder/outfielder Jordan Lawlar (wrist) remains an intriguing waiver-wire option for managers in deeper leagues with injured-list flexibility. Before being sidelined, Lawlar hit .333 with one home run, two RBI, three runs scored, one stolen base, a .400 on-base percentage, and a .556 slugging percentage across 18 at-bats (six games).

Lawlar saw his fantasy value increase during spring training when the former top prospect posted a .333/.448/.604 line with four round-trippers, which earned him a starting role to begin the 2026 campaign. The sample is small, but Lawlar's power-speed profile and early production make him worth monitoring before he returns.

Last week, Lawlar's rehab assignment was moved to Triple-A Reno, suggesting the 23-year-old is nearing a return to action. With a 6% Yahoo rostership rate, Lawlar is a speculative stash for fantasy managers in deeper leagues looking to get ahead on a potential impact bat who possesses a five-category skill set.

Yoendrys Gomez, Minnesota Twins

Since being acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in early May, Minnesota Twins right-hander Yoendrys Gomez has emerged as a key piece in his new team's bullpen. Across 14 innings (16 games) with Minnesota, Gomez owns a 0.64 ERA and 0.86 WHIP with 18 strikeouts and three saves.

The 26-year-old's average fastball velocity is currently a career-best 95.4 miles per hour, and he's struck out 32.7% of the batters he's faced as a Twin. Gomez's last two appearances for the Twins have both come in the eighth inning as the team continues to operate with a committee approach to the closer role.

However, he's been the best reliever in Minnesota since joining the team, and it could be just a matter of time before he emerges as the preferred option in the ninth inning. For fantasy managers in need of saves, Gomez could be worth targeting on the waiver wire.

Jacob Gonzalez, Chicago White Sox

Since making his MLB debut on May 31, Chicago White Sox infielder Jacob Gonzalez has hit .333/.429/.458 with one home run, five RBI, and three runs scored across 28 plate appearances. With White Sox slugger Munetaka Murakami (hamstring) currently on the injured list, Gonzalez has logged everyday playing time at first base since his promotion.

The 22-year-old's strong start in the Majors is backed up by his work at Triple-A this season, where he slashed .317/.419/.668 with 19 home runs, 62 RBI, 42 runs scored, and eight stolen bases in just 238 plate appearances.

Gonzalez also has the ability to play multiple infield positions, so he could stick in the Chicago lineup even once Murakami returns. Gonzalez profiles as a high-upside waiver wire target who should be prioritized by fantasy managers across all league formats.
