Is Cole Carrigg a Must-Add Breakout Candidate on the Waiver Wire?
Across 42 plate appearances since making his MLB debut on June 9, Colorado Rockies outfielder Cole Carrigg is hitting .222/.333/.528 with three home runs, eight RBI, seven runs scored, and one stolen base. With Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle (oblique) on the injured list, Carrigg has taken over as the team's everyday center fielder. The power he's shown at the big-league level so far comes as a bit of a surprise, as he hit just six home runs across 257 Triple-A plate appearances before his promotion. He's logged an 11.1% barrel rate in a small sample with Colorado, but his 33.3% hard-hit rate may be a sign that his current power output is unsustainable. Still, Carrigg's 14.3% walk rate and 21.4% strikeout rate are indicators of a strong plate approach. He also hit .338 with 30 stolen bases in 57 games at Triple-A in 2026, so he profiles as a significant speed threat once he gets more MLB games under his belt. For fantasy managers in need of speed and some batting average upside, Carrigg profiles as a viable waiver wire target.
