Waiver Wire Rankings - Fantasy Baseball Pickups for Week 15 (Hitters and Pitchers)

July 7, 2026

Updated fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 15 of the 2026 MLB season. These are free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to more fantasy baseball waiver wire advice. Week 15 is officially here, and we are one week away from the MLB All-Star break. Now is the time to reset and focus on improving fantasy rosters for the second half of the season. Today, we return with our fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 15 (July 6 - July 12) of the 2026 MLB season, ranking the top 1oo hitters and pitchers to prioritize off the waiver wire. 

This week, we saw the Braves recall No. 2 prospect JR Ritchie from Triple-A Gwinnett. Ritchie is a prospect to monitor in most leagues and allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits and four walks while striking out seven over five innings against the Padres in his last big-league start. Regarding injury news, the Brewers placed right-hander Brandon Woodruff on the injured list with an inflamed labrum in his right shoulder.

As always, we are here to help you prioritize which player to add using our waiver wire rankings article. This edition features players such as and more, who are listed in our initial waiver wire rankings. Read more to see where these players rank in our waiver wire rankings for the week ahead.

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 Logan Henderson, Tommy Edman, Yoendrys Gomez, Alex Lange, and Charlie Condon, among others. We recap why these players rostered under 70% in Yahoo! leagues should be on your waiver wire radar:

Logan Henderson, Milwaukee Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Logan Henderson (back) will be activated off the Injured List at some point this upcoming week. Henderson is ready to rejoin the Brewers rotation after making two rehab starts. He has been sidelined since May 22 due to a back strain.

The assumption is that Henderson will be ready to pitch at some point during their upcoming series against the St. Louis Cardinals. This season, Henderson owns a 2.74 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and a 30:6 K/BB ratio across five starts with the Brewers. There are durability concerns, but Henderson has elite stuff and is still available in roughly 60% of Yahoo fantasy leagues, making him a priority pickup for managers searching for pitching help.

Tommy Edman, Los Angeles Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman has wasted little time making himself useful after right ankle surgery. Through 52 plate appearances, the 31-year-old is batting .378/.462/.556 with one home run, nine RBI, five runs, and one stolen base. He has played six of the Dodgers' past seven games while bouncing between second base, third base, and left field, giving fantasy managers three-position eligibility.

The .378 average will come down, but Edman's .330 expected average and career-best 90.5 mph average exit velocity suggest this is more than a run of soft singles. He is also striking out just 17.3% of the time. The crowded Dodgers roster can still move him down the order or onto the bench occasionally, keeping him from being an automatic shallow-league add.

RotoBaller recommends him in 12-team leagues, and his 25% Yahoo roster rate leaves plenty of room to act. At that depth, Edman's balanced production and flexibility make him a must-add.

Yoendrys Gomez, Minnesota Twins

Minnesota Twins reliever Yoendrys Gomez has moved to the front of a crowded ninth-inning picture. He converted save chances on June 28 and 29, giving him nine on the season, while no other Minnesota pitcher has more than two. Gomez owns a 3.57 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 36 strikeouts through 40 1/3 innings. His June 29 save was shaky, but he followed it with a scoreless inning on July 1. Minnesota still has not named a full-time closer, leaving some risk.

Andrew Morris is the main alternative after posting an 18:3 K:BB with one save over the past 30 days. Even so, Gomez remains the best bet for the next opportunity and offers SP/RP eligibility. RotoBaller ranks him 20th among closers and recommends him in 12-team leagues, while he is rostered in only 26% of Yahoo formats. Managers chasing saves should treat him as one of the better widely available claims, not a completely secure closer.

Alex Lange, Kansas City Royals

Kansas City Royals reliever Alex Lange has converted all seven of his save chances since moving into the late-inning mix on June 3. His latest came June 28, when he retired the White Sox in order two days after being tagged for five runs in a blowout loss. That quick return to the ninth was a useful vote of confidence. Lange owns a 4.95 ERA, 1.49 WHIP, and 37:21 K:BB over 36 1/3 innings, so the risk is obvious.

Kansas City still has Lucas Erceg, Daniel Lynch IV, and Matt Strahm available, but Lange has received the save chances. Carlos Estevez (shoulder) also suffered another setback and received an injection July 1, making an imminent return unlikely. RotoBaller ranks Lange 21st among closers and recommends him in 12-team leagues. At 23% rostered on Yahoo, he is worth a claim for saves-needy managers who can absorb the ratio volatility.

Charlie Condon, Colorado Rockies

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Charlie Condon has put together a dominant stretch at the plate and is quickly approaching his MLB debut. Since May 30 (his last 29 games of action), the former Georgia standout has launched 14 long balls while posting a stellar .364/.474/.882 line with a 1.358 OPS. Prior to this impressive stretch at the dish, the slugger posted a much lower .250/.380/.426 line over his first 46 games of action at the Triple-A level.

Currently, the Rockies do not have a clear path for at-bats for Condon, with Mickey Moniak recently returning from the injured list and prospect Cole Carrigg earning the call. However, given Condon's current performance at the dish, a Rockies team that is in the midst of a rebuild could look to give their top hitting prospect a long look in the majors. Entering the All-Star break, Condon possesses elite stash upside among hitting prospects.
