Mid-week fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 16 (2025). Free-agent hitters and pitchers to add include Jac Caglianone, Brice Matthews, Brady House, Cam Schlittler, Evan Carter, and Luis Gil.
The MLB All-Star game, as well as the 2025 MLB Draft, are in the books, and the second half of the regular season begins on Friday. It's an exciting time for baseball with the trade deadline looming and more prospects getting the call to the show. At RotoBaller HQ, we are back with more waiver wire rankings for Week 16-- July 14 through July 20 to help managers in leagues that allow daily moves. Find out where key players such as Jac Caglianone, Brice Matthews, Brady House, Cam Schlittler, Evan Carter, and Luis Gil are listed.
There are key performances, prospect promotions, and injuries to watch for this week. New York Yankees right-hander Luis Gil allowed two hits and one run while striking out six over 3 1/3 innings in his last rehab start with Double-A Somerset. Gil has been out all season with a lat strain but could return to the Yankees rotation in late-July, making him a stash candidate for the second half stretch. The Astros promoted Brice Matthews on Friday, and he has struggled so far by going 0-for-7 with five strikeouts in seven big league plate appearances since the promotion. Sal Frelick is day-to-day with a Grade 1 hamstring strain.
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.
