Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Rankings

Waiver wire pickup options, including how to prioritize them for your league - depending on the league size:

The roster percentage is from Yahoo! leagues.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Outlooks

Some of the top names include Curtis Mead, Christian Scott, Jared Jones, Gage Jump, and Edwin Arroyo, among others. We recap why these players rostered under 70% in Yahoo! leagues should be on your waiver wire radar:

Christian Scott, New York Mets

New York Mets starting pitcher Christian Scott has looked solid on the mound during most of his outings this season. Scott has locked it in lately with impressive numbers over his last three starts. During that span, Scott has allowed one earned run with 16 strikeouts across 16.1 innings of work.

Overall, Scott owns a 2.50 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and a 41:18 K:BB ratio across eight starts this season. The biggest downside to Scott so far has been his inability to work deep into games. Scott has not managed to pitch six full innings in any of his outings this season. Despite that, Scott has posted strong numbers and is someone worth scooping up on the waiver wire right now.

Curtis Mead, Washington Nationals

Washington Nationals infielder Curtis Mead has been quietly putting together solid numbers lately. Over the last two weeks, Mead is slashing .295/.367/.591 with four home runs and 10 RBI. The hot hitting by Mead has earned him the starting third baseman role in Washington right now.

The 25-year-old is a former top prospect who appears to be finally putting it all together. His hot hitting makes him worth a look as a waiver-wire addition right now. It might not last all season long, so fantasy managers might as well get the value from him while he's hot at the plate.

Jared Jones, Pittsburgh Pirates

Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Jared Jones allowed four hits and two walks while striking out four over five scoreless innings to earn the win in Thursday's 5-1 victory over the Houston Astros. He is back in the majors after missing the 2025 season following internal brace surgery on his elbow, and he remains a high-upside speculative add in most leagues.

Jones has made a couple of starts since returning in late May and has shown flashes of the plus stuff that made him one of the Pirates' top prospects. He owns a 4.82 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, and 10 strikeouts through 9 1/3 innings in 2026. While his early results have been mixed in a small sample, the 24-year-old has the kind of swing-and-miss ability and strikeout upside that can pay off quickly if he can stay healthy and build up his workload.

With the Pirates' rotation still taking shape and Jones getting a chance to prove he's ready, he's worth a look as a stash in deeper formats or for managers willing to be patient with a young arm coming off injury. If he can regain the form he showed in 2024, when he had an 18.5 K-BB% across 121 2/3 innings. The payoff could be significant for fantasy managers looking to take a chance.

Edwin Arroyo, Cincinnati Reds

Cincinnati Reds shortstop prospect Edwin Arroyo was called up on June 1 after Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) landed on the injured list, and he's worth adding in 10-team leagues or more. De La Cruz will miss the next two to four weeks, so Arroyo is set to see everyday at-bats.

Arroyo had been dominating at Triple-A Louisville before the promotion, hitting .323 with 11 home runs, 34 RBI, and nine stolen bases in 53 games while posting a .945 OPS. The 22-year-old switch-hitter has shown plus power and speed at the upper levels, and he now gets a chance to play every day while De La Cruz is sidelined.

While his early MLB results have been limited as he's hitting .200 (2-for-10) in his first four big league games, Arroyo is an upside add, especially for managers looking for middle-infield help. If he can carry over even a portion of his Triple-A success, he could be a difference-maker in the second half and is rostered in just 12% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues.

Gage Jump, Athletics

Athletics left-hander Gage Jump made his major league debut on May 26 and has shown the kind of stuff that made him a notable pitching prospect coming out of LSU. Through his first two big-league starts, Jump owns a 3.75 ERA with 10 strikeouts across 12 innings.

He bounced back from a shaky debut by holding the Chicago Cubs to one run over seven innings Tuesday, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out five to earn his first MLB win. He has shown the ability to miss bats with a fastball that sits 93-96 mph and a sharp slider.

Jump's fantasy appeal comes from the strikeout upside he showed before his promotion. The 23-year-old recorded 56 strikeouts in 38 innings over nine starts at Triple-A Las Vegas, giving him enough swing-and-miss ability to matter if he sticks in the Athletics' rotation.

The sample is still small, and young pitchers on struggling teams can be volatile, but Jump is worth a speculative add on the waiver wire in leagues with 12 teams or more for managers looking for starting pitching help.
