Fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 23 of the 2025 MLB season. These are free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.
It will be officially September next week, and MLB rosters will expand. Fantasy managers can expect to see many prospects get the call to the show, especially for teams out of the playoff race. At RotoBaller HQ, we updated our top 100 hitter and pitcher list to reflect the MLB roster expansion with our Week 23 of the MLB season -- September 1st - September 7th to help you navigate the waiver wire. Below, you will find out where key players such as Nolan McLean, Jonah Tong, Payton Tolle, Kristian Campbell, Colson Montgomery, and Jordan Lawlar are listed in our 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 on a hit streak. The Mets recently promoted pitching prospect Jonah Tong. The 22-year-old picked up the win in his MLB debut, allowing four runs (one earned) on six hits and no walks, while striking out six across five innings. Arizona is giving Jordan Lawlar another shot in the big leagues, as he was recently called up to the show. Lawlar has only played in one of the three Diamondbacks games and went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts.
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.
