Mid-Week Waiver Wire Rankings - Fantasy Baseball Pickups Include Luke Keaschall, Andrew Vaughn, Bubba Chandler, JoJo Romero, Shane Bieber, more

Luke Keaschall - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Prospect, Draft Sleepers

Mid-week fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 19 (2025). Free-agent hitters and pitchers to add include Luke Keaschall, Andrew Vaughn, Bubba Chandler, JoJo Romero, Shane Bieber, and Jordan Lawlar.

There are two months left of the MLB regular season and a few weeks away from teams expanding their rosters from 26 to 40. At RotoBaller HQ, we are back with more fantasy baseball waiver wire to help managers close the season strong or make that final playoff push in H2H category leagues. Today, we are back with another waiver wire rankings edition for Week 19--August 4 through August 10 to help managers in leagues that allow daily moves. Find out where Luke Keaschall, Bubba Chandler, JoJo Romero, Shane Bieber, and Jordan Lawlar are ranked below. 

There are key performances, prospect promotions, and injuries to watch for this week. Minnesota Twins infielder Luke Keaschall was activated from the injured list on Monday and has been on a tear since coming back. Keaschall is hitting .444 (4-for-9) with two doubles, a home run, and six RBI over his last two games.  Pittsburgh Pirates top pitching prospect Bubba Chandler continues to be up-and-down in Triple-A. Chandler has shown flashes of upside by striking out 20 batters over his 19 1/3 innings, but owns a 6.98 ERA and 1.76 WHIP over his previous four starts.

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).
