Below you will find our mid-week waiver rankings for Week 3-- April 14 through April 20 -- to help you stay on top of the waiver wire, especially in leagues that allow daily moves. This edition of waiver wire rankings features Trevor Story, Logan Henderson, Michael Busch, Anthony Bender, Nick Kurtz, Kameron Misner, Zac Veen, Geraldo Perdomo, and Justin Slaten.
There are key performances, prospect promotions, and injuries to watch for this week. Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story is heating up at the plate, slashing .379/.400/.517 with a homer and four steals over his last seven games. The Brewers recently promoted top pitching prospect Logan Henderson from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday. Henderson is in line to start Sunday against the Athletics and owns a 3.21 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 24:10 K:BB across 14 innings in Triple-A. Some injuries to monitor include Ezequiel Tovar, Logan O'Hoppe, Tyler O'Neill, Joey Bart, and Josh Smith, who are all day-to-day.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups List

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).
