Luke Adams Firmly on the Stash Radar Following Four-Hit Performance
Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Luke Adams has enjoyed a recent surge at the Triple-A level and has put himself on the stash radar for those in deeper redraft leagues. On Friday evening, the 22-year-old went 4-for-5 with a home run and a stolen base. This was another strong showing for Adams as he now carries an elite .344/.463/.688 line with three doubles, one triple, two home runs, two stolen bases, and a 7:5 K:BB. Through 40 total games at the Triple-A level this season, the former 12th-round selection out of Hinsdale Central HS has posted a .264/.412/.581 line with a .993 OPS, six doubles, 11 home runs and six stolen bases. While Adams will likely need more time at Triple-A, he has already begun to showcase high-end power upside. If he maintains this pace, he could replace their current third baseman, Joey Ortiz, on the MLB roster early in the second half.

Luke Adams Emerging as Another Name to Monitor in Loaded Brewers System
Milwaukee Brewers corner infield prospect Luke Adams has been a force at Triple-A Nashville during his limited action so far this season. The Brewers' 12th-ranked prospect missed about a month and a half earlier this year, but in the 32 games he's played, he's collected 26 hits, 15 of which have gone for extra bases, including 10 home runs, giving him a .574 slugging percentage. The 6-foot-4 slugger also owns a solid 11.4 percent walk rate as well and has managed to get hit by a pitch 10 times already, providing the foundation for a .382 on-base percentage. In all, it's resulted in a .956 OPS, which would put him near the top of the leaderboard had he played in enough games to qualify. The 22-year-old is a candidate for a call-up in the second half, and fantasy managers, especially those in very deep or OBP leagues, should put the right-handed hitter on their stash radar.

Jake Bauers Continues to Rake, Becoming a Priority Target to Add if Still Available
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers has maintained a high level of production this season. The 30-year-old is slashing .280/.351/.491 with 13 home runs, 46 RBI, and 40 runs scored in 234 plate appearances. He's also shown good plate discipline and the ability to get on base consistently, which has helped fuel Milwaukee's offense. Bauers has been one of Milwaukee's reliable power options during what has turned into a breakout season. His ability to contribute across multiple categories makes him a useful asset for fantasy managers, given the power he's displayed this season. Bauers is currently rostered in 71% of Yahoo leagues, so he may already be rostered in many formats. However, he remains a solid option in leagues where he's still available.

Jake Bauers is Becoming a Must-Have Player
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers is posting strong numbers at the plate recently. Over the last week, Bauers has hit two home runs, eight RBI, and six walks. Overall this season, Bauers is slashing .275/.371/.500 with eight homers and 28 RBI against right-handed pitching. He's crushing the ball right now and is showing no signs of slowing down at the plate. The 30-year-old could very well be headed towards a career-year, assuming he keeps playing at this pace. Fantasy managers in need of a stick should consider adding Bauers before someone else scoops him up off the waiver wire.

Jake Bauers Emerging as Legit Bat in Brewers Lineup, Waiver Wire Value Rising Fast
Brewers first baseman Jake Bauers has cooled off slightly since his 12-game hitting streak came to an end on May 23, but his overall production remains highly encouraging. The 30-year-old is slashing .280/.351/.491 with nine home runs and continues to take a step forward offensively in his third season with Milwaukee. Bauers has been especially productive over his last 15 games, hitting .327 with a .564 slugging percentage while providing a steady mix of power and contact. His 22.6 percent strikeout rate is the lowest mark of his career and has helped fuel a more consistent offensive profile. With his previous career high sitting at 12 home runs, Bauers is well positioned to surpass that total. Fantasy managers should view him as a strong waiver wire target moving into June.

Andrew Vaughn Worth a Waiver-Wire Pickup After Three-Hit Game?
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn missed all of April with a hand injury, but now that he's back and swinging the bat well, fantasy managers should take a peek at him as a waiver-wire addition for some power with the first-place Brewers. Vaughn went hitless as a pinch-hitter in Milwaukee's 2-1 victory over the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday, but he went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-1 victory and is currently hitting .327 with a .917 OPS in 17 games so far in 2027 in his sixth year in the big leagues. Before starting on the bench in Wednesday's series finale against St. Louis, the 28-year-old right-handed slugger started at first in four straight games and went 6-for-16 with three doubles, two RBI, and two runs. Vaughn's fantasy upside is limited by the fact that he's on the short side of a platoon at first base with the lefty-hitting Jake Bauers, who is also hitting well this year. But you can't argue with Vaughn's numbers since coming to the Brewers in a trade last year, as he also hit .308 (68-for-221) with nine homers and 46 RBI in 64 regular-season games in the second half of 2025. He's rostered in just 29% of Yahoo leagues.

Andrew Vaughn Worth a Waiver-Wire Pickup Now That he's Healthy
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/designated hitter Andrew Vaughn missed all of April due to a hand injury, but he's swinging the bat well since his return and is only rostered in 31% of Yahoo leagues at the moment. Vaughn shares playing time at first base and DH with Jake Bauers, but he should see more regular playing time with outfielder/DH Christian Yelich (back) potentially landing on the injured list. The 28-year-old former third overall pick out of Cal Berkeley in 2019 by the Chicago White Sox flipped a switch late last year when he was acquired from the White Sox, hitting .308/.375/.493 with an .869 OPS, nine homers, 46 RBI, and 26 runs scored in 64 games in Milwaukee. Since returning from his hand injury this year, he has gone 7-for-24 (.292) at the plate with a homer, two doubles, five RBI, and five runs scored across 30 plate appearances. It's a small sample size, but Vaughn certainly has more fantasy upside as a corner infield/utility option for fantasy managers in Milwaukee. Give him a look.
