The roster percentage is from Yahoo! leagues.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Outlooks

Some of the top names include Clayton Beeter, Christian Scott, A.J. Ewing, JJ Bleday, Trevor Megill, and more. We recap why these players rostered under 70% in Yahoo! leagues should be on your waiver wire radar:

Clayton Beeter, Washington Nationals

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Clayton Beeter was productive out of the bullpen on Saturday, successfully earning a four-out save against the San Diego Padres. Along the way, Beeter allowed two walks, but he surrendered zero runs and zero hits while striking out one batter. The 27-year-old right-hander is now up to three saves in 2026.

He has dropped his ERA to 2.45 across 14 games (14.2 innings), and he hasn't allowed a run in his last 5.1 innings. Beeter has done a great job cutting down on the number of hits he's allowed this year, but most of his rate stats could use improvement. His 8.59 K/9 is a career low, and his 7.36 BB/9 and 1.23 HR/9 are both concerningly high.

Nevertheless, the results speak for themselves, and Beeter's emergence as the potential go-to closer in Washington has boosted his fantasy stock immensely. He's still available on the waiver wire in 96% of fantasy baseball leagues.

Christian Scott, New York Mets

New York Mets right-hander Christian Scott continues to trend upward after delivering his best start of the season last Sunday. Scott fired 5 2/3 scoreless innings, marking the deepest outing of his 2026 campaign and lowering his ERA to 3.20. The 25-year-old appears to be settling into a rhythm as he builds toward a full workload.

Through 25 1/3 innings, Scott has recorded 30 strikeouts while posting a 1.38 WHIP. His ability to miss bats has remained a strength, and he has done an excellent job limiting hard contact. Scott's 1.5 percent barrel rate ranks in the 98th percentile among qualified pitchers. While he is still somewhat under the radar in fantasy leagues, the improving results and strong underlying metrics suggest he is worth monitoring as a potential rotation addition.

A.J. Ewing, New York Mets

New York Mets outfielder A.J. Ewing continued his strong rookie campaign on Saturday, going 2-for-4 with two RBI, one stolen base, and one run scored. The former fourth-round pick has taken advantage of increased playing time with Luis Robert Jr. on the injured list and Tyrone Taylor still weeks away from returning.

Through his first 17 major-league games, Ewing is slashing .268/.359/.357 with a .716 OPS while adding four stolen bases. His 92nd-percentile sprint speed has already translated into fantasy value, and his athleticism gives him multiple paths to production. The Mets' No. 1 prospect appears positioned for continued opportunities in the short term. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should keep a close eye on Ewing as he continues to establish himself at the major-league level.

JJ Bleday, Cincinnati Reds

Cincinnati Reds outfielder JJ Bleday went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Bleday blasted his eighth home run of the season off Braves starter Grant Holmes in the bottom of the fourth inning on Friday. His home run traveled 393 feet with an exit velocity of 108.6 mph. He hit another home run again on Saturday has now homered in three of his last five games.

Overall, the 28-year-old is now slashing .295/.395/.629 with nine home runs, 24 RBI, 18 runs, and a stolen base in 29 games this season. He has homered eight times over 115 plate appearances in May while posting a 13.0 BB% and .999 OPS in 26 contests. Bleday is rostered in 40% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues and is emerging as a must-add off the waiver wire in all leagues.

Trevor Megill, Milwaukee Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Trevor Megill picked up his seventh save of the season on Friday, securing his second save in as many appearances. The veteran reliever appears to be turning a corner after a rocky April, posting a 2.00 ERA during May while reestablishing himself as Milwaukee's preferred ninth-inning option.

Megill owns a 4.50 ERA on the season and has recorded 25 strikeouts in 20 innings, and continues to lead the club in saves. Abner Uribe remains in the mix for occasional save chances, although Megill has handled the majority of the recent opportunities. With the Brewers continuing to pile up wins, fantasy managers should not be overly concerned about a lack of save chances. Megill is trending in the right direction entering June and remains an elite source of saves.
