Mid-Week Waiver Wire Rankings - Fantasy Baseball Pickups Include Chase Burns, Chandler Simpson, Brady House, Jurickson Profar, Hayden Birdsong

Chandler Simpson - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Prospects, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire

Mid-week fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 13 (2025). Free-agent hitters and pitchers to add include Chase Burns, Chandler Simpson, Brady House, Jurickson Profar, and Hayden Birdsong.

The MLB All-Star break is around the corner as we are about to enter the official midpoint of the regular season. Baseballs are flying out of the ballpark as temperatures continue to rise. Staying on top of news, prospect call-ups, and injuries is crucial, as there is still plenty of baseball to be played. At RotoBaller HQ, we are back with more fantasy baseball WW advice in leagues that allow daily moves with our mid-week waiver rankings for Week 13-- June 23  through June 29. This edition of waiver wire rankings features Chase Burns, Chandler Simpson, Brady House, Jurickson Profar, and Hayden Birdsong.

There are key performances, prospect promotions, and injuries to watch for this week. The Cincinnati Reds called up top pitching prospect Chase Burns on Tuesday, and he didn't disappoint in his MLB debut. Burns allowed three runs on six hits and no walks while striking out eight in five innings in Tuesday's start versus the Yankees. Tampa Bay Rays outfield prospect Chandler Simpson was also recalled on Tuesday and is 2-for-8 with a strikeout over his last two games. Injuries continue to pile up as Wyatt Langford, Luis Robert Jr., Zach Neto, Eugenio Suarez, and Michael Harris II are day-to-day. 

For anyone unfamiliar, we release all sorts of fantasy baseball waiver wire articles every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. As part of that, Nick Mariano releases our waiver wire rankings list on Sundays to help you prioritize which players to target as free-agent adds off waivers. Stay on top of our weekly waiver wire rankings and turn on MLB news alerts to stay ahead of the curve. Once you're done here, check out our fantasy baseball prospects articles for the latest names to stash and pick up.

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 mid-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).
