Jac Caglianone - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 12 of the 2025 MLB season. These are free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.

We are already halfway through June and a few weeks away from the All-Star break. There is still plenty of baseball to be played, and it's time for another round of free agent pickups. At RotoBaller HQ, we are back with more fantasy baseball waiver wire advice. Today, we review the top 100 hitters and pitchers list with our Week 12 of the MLB season -- June 16th - June 22nd article to help navigate you through this week's waiver wire. Find out where our updated waiver wire rankings list has Jacob Misiorowski, Cade Horton, Eury Perez, Jesus Sanchez, Marcelo Mayer, and Otto Kemp are listed. 

It is essential to stay on top of the player news as we guide you through injuries, prospect call-ups, recent hot streaks, and closer role changes. The Brewers promoted top prospect pitcher Jacob Misiorowski, and he made his MLB debut on Thursday. Misiorowski was brilliant in his debut, striking out five over five scoreless innings. Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez has been swinging a hot bat recently, mashing two home runs and collecting nine RBI over his last six games. San Diego Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill exited Saturday's game with a head injury and is considered day-to-day.

For those searching for injury replacements or whose teams need a boost, we have you covered with our latest fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for various league sizes to help you prioritize your waiver wire decisions. Good luck on waivers this week, RotoBallers!
