Parker Meadows is a fantasy baseball waiver wire stash for Week 16 (2024). Target Meadows as a top prospect free-agent waiver wire pickup for fantasy baseball.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Formats
CALL-UP ETA: Just Called Up This Week
ANALYSIS: Desperate to improve their offense and dealing with an injury to Kerry Carpenter, the Tigers have activated rookie outfielder Parker Meadows.
Meadows started the season with the Tigers but was demoted to Triple-A back in early May after only hitting .100 during the first month of the season.
But Meadows was raking at Toledo, smashing eight home runs, 10 doubles, and stealing 19 bases while slashing .298/.394/.511.
Parker Meadows’ first AB since being called back up is ends in a solo homer.

The six-foot-five slugger is an excellent defensive outfielder and possesses both MLB power and speed, he simply struggled badly to make contact in his first 70+ at-bats. He went 1-4 with a solo home run last night in his return to the lineup and he should continue to get an opportunity to play every day going forward.
Despite his low average, Meadows now has three home runs and three steals across his first 33 major league games and he should be much better this time around after spending some time at Triple-A to get his confidence back up.
Meadows is rostered in just 4% of Yahoo Leagues, so managers in deep formats should consider snagging him now in case his breakout is coming.
