The MLB All-Star break has officially arrived as the regular season takes a small break and won't have any games until Friday. Everyone gets to enjoy the Home Run Derby and the All-Star Game in the meantime. However, the next few days will be a pivotal point of the season for adding players and stashing prospects that can boost your fantasy baseball teams heading into the second half. At RotoBaller HQ, we guide you through the waiver wire and are back with another updated waiver wire ranking list of the top 100 hitters and pitchers for Week 16 of the MLB season -- July 14th - July 20th.
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 Houston Astros called up shortstop prospect Brice Matthews on Friday after he hit 10 home runs and stole 25 bases at Triple-A Sugar Land this season. Washington Nationals rookie Brady House is heating up, slashing .333/.353/.576 over his last eight games. After struggling in June, Pittsburgh Pirates top pitching prospect Bubba Chandler is back on track after striking out 13 batters while posting a 1.17 WHIP across 12 scoreless innings over his past two starts.
