Mid-Week Waiver Wire Rankings - Fantasy Baseball Pickups: David Festa, Jhonkensy Noel, Joc Pederson, Aroldis Chapman, Shane Baz, Colt Keith

Joc Pederson - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Mid-week fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 14 (2024). Free-agent hitters and pitchers to add include David Festa, Jhonkensy Noel, Joc Pederson, Aroldis Chapman, Shane Baz, Colt Keith.

Hey, RotoBallers! June will end on Sunday, and we are a few weeks away from the regular season's halfway point. It's Thursday, and we are back again with another mid-week waiver wire rankings article for Week 14- June 24 through June 30- to help you stay on top of the waiver wire, especially in leagues that allow daily moves. Hayden Birdsong, Noelvi Marte, Jhonkensy Noel, Heston Kjerstad, Spencer Horwitz, Ben Rice, Addison Barger, and David Festa were called up to the show. Other top prospects, such as Shane Baz, James Wood, Kyle Manzardo, Jose Tena, and Brooks Lee, patiently await the call to the big leagues.

Some notable recent performances and injury notes include Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Joc Pederson. The 32-year-old has been on fire, slashing .333/.425/.636 with three home runs, 11 RBI, nine runs, and a stolen base over his last 11 games. On Wednesday, the Guardians called up top first base prospect Jhonkensy Noel from Triple-A Columbus. Noel has legit power and blasted a solo home run in his first big league at-bat. San Francisco Giants right-hander Hayden Birdsong made his MLB debut on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs with mixed results. Hayden allowed three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over 4 2/3 innings in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Cubs. Injuries continue to pile up as Joey Ortiz, Spencer Turnbull, Daulton Varsho, and Jeimer Candelario are day-to-day with injuries.

This edition features players such as Jackson Chourio, Jhonkensy Noel, David Festa, Joc Pederson, Harrison Bader, Chad Green, Aroldis Chapman, Heston Kjerstad, Shane Baz, Colt Keith, Spencer Horwitz, Ben Rice, Hunter Goodman, and Addison Barger. We're here, as always, to help you stay on top of the latest waiver-wire options, especially in leagues that allow for daily moves. Prospects that are making impacts continue to be called up, so you'll need to be informed. Be sure to 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

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.

In addition, we are also putting out a second waiver wire rankings list mid-week. 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 with our weekly ranking for the relevant waiver-wire pickup options, including how to prioritize them for your league (depending on the league size). Roster % is from Yahoo leagues.
