September is around the corner, leaving about a month for fantasy managers to catch up in the standings. At RotoBaller HQ, we updated our top 100 hitter and pitcher list for Week 22 of the MLB season -- August 25th - August 31st to help you navigate the waiver wire. Below, you will find out where key players such as Carson Williams, Samuel Basallo, Dylan Beavers, Jose A. Ferrer, Jordan Lawlar, Dylan Beavers, and Jhostynxon Garcia are listed in our updated waiver wire rankings.
We are approaching the final stretch of the season, and it's time to make the move to cut the disappointing player and either take a chance on a top prospect or add a player heating up. The Rays recently promoted top shortstop prospect Carson Williams, who homered in his MLB debut. Washington Nationals right-hander Jose A. Ferrer has racked up three saves over his last three appearances and hasn't allowed a run since August 3. Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Jordan Lawlar continues to rake in Triple-A and has logged a hit in five of his last six games.
