Fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 18 of the 2024 MLB season. These are free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.

The second half of the 2024 MLB regular season began on Friday, and at Rotoballer HQ, we are back with more waiver wire rankings. Today, we review our fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 18 (July 22 - July 28) of the 2024 MLB season. Injuries continue to pile up as Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette is set to miss multiple weeks with a right calf strain. In contrast, Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa was placed on the injured list with right plantar fasciitis. Jacob Wilson, Justin Foscue, Addison Barger, and Brooks Baldwin were recently promoted. Other top prospects such as Coby Mayo, Shay Whitcomb, Jackson Holliday, Max Meyer, and Kyle Manzardo patiently await the call to the Show.

It is essential to stay on top of the player news as we guide you through the injuries, prospect call-ups, and closer role changes. For those searching for injury replacements or whose teams need a boost, we have you covered with our latest fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings. We've been working hard to put together a list of 100 players to consider for various league sizes to help you prioritize your waiver wire decisions.   

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 Jeff Hoffman, Lawrence Butler, Brooks Baldwin, Justin Foscue, A.J. Puk, Drew Thorpe, Christian Scott, Coby Mayo, Jacob Wilson, Michael Toglia, Jeffrey Springs, Robbie Ray, and Spencer Horowitz this week.
