Week 19 Waiver Wire Rankings - Fantasy Baseball Pickups Include Andrew Vaughn, Cade Smith, Shane Bieber, Jesus Sanchez, Samuel Basallo, Jack Perkins

Jack Perkins - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 19 of the 2025 MLB season. These are free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.

The MLB trade deadline is over, and we are officially in August. There are only a few months left of the MLB regular season, but still plenty of baseball left to be played and time to catch up in the standings. At RotoBaller HQ, we have updated our top 100 hitter and pitcher list after the trade deadline for Week 19 of the MLB season -- August 3rd - August 10th. Find out where Shane Bieber, Andrew Vaughn, Cade Smith, Jesus Sanchez, Samuel Basallo, and Jack Perkins are listed in our rankings below.

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. Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn continues to swing a hot bat and is hitting .452 (14-for-31) with four home runs, 12 RBI, and nine runs scored over his last eight games. With the MLB trade deadline over, Dennis Santana, JoJo Romero, and Randy Rodriguez are suddenly now the favorites to close for their respective teams. A key injury to monitor is Chicago White Sox infielder Miguel Vargas, who suffered an oblique strain in Saturday's game against the Angels. 

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!
