Jhostynxon Garcia a Priority Addition with Power Potential?

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia was promoted to the majors last week, and he's an encouraging waiver wire target given his potential to launch home runs.

Not only that, but Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield exited […]

Is Angel Martinez an Undervalued Waiver-Wire Target?

As the early portion of the 2026 MLB season gives way to the summer months, Cleveland Guardians outfielder Angel Martinez looks like he could be on the verge of a breakout campaign.

Zack Gelof Offers Power/Speed Upside as a Waiver-Wire Target

Across 129 plate appearances so far in 2026, Athletics infielder/outfielder Zack Gelof is hitting .229/.283/.424 with six home runs, 17 RBI, 21 runs scored, and six stolen bases.

Ryan O'Hearn Does Agility Drills on Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) left the game against the Philadelphia Phillies on May 16 after the third inning because of right-quad discomfort and was placed on the 10-day injured list the next day with a right-quad muscle strain.

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Luis Lara has yet to slow down at Triple-A Nashville and enters Week 9 as one of the top prospects to stash in all of fantasy baseball.

Sam Antonacci Still Worth a Waiver-Wire Pickup for his Speed

Chicago White Sox rookie outfielder Sam Antonacci has cooled off a bit recently at the plate, but fantasy managers targeting speed should still be considering acquiring him off the waiver wire.
