Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez is beginning to heat up at the plate. On Sunday, Rodriguez went 4-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the victory over the New York Mets.

Oneil Cruz (SS, PIT): Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: Oneil Cruz was a consensus top-25 prospect entering 2022, though that hype might have cooled a bit based on his lackluster .591 OPS for the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians this year.
