June 13, 2026

Weekend fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 11 (2026). Free-agent hitters and pitchers to add include Alex Lange,, Colt Emerson, Martin Perez, Coby Mayo, and Clayton Beeter.

June continues to fly by, and Week 11 of the fantasy baseball season will soon be in the books. At RotoBaller HQ, we are back with more waiver advice with our weekend fantasy baseball waiver rankings for Week 11 -- June 8  through June 14. We rank the top 100 hitters and pitchers to add off the waiver wire for leagues that allow daily moves. Some of the top pickups include Colt Emerson, Alex Lange, Jordan Lawlar, Cole Carrigg, Jasson Dominguez, Noelvi Marte, Edwin Arroyo, and Braden Montgomery. 

There are key performances, prospect promotions, and injuries to watch for this week. After promoting Braden Montgomery earlier in the week, the White Sox are expected to call up top pitching prospect Hagen Smith to make his MLB debut against the Dodgers. The Pirates recalled outfield prospect Esmerlyn Valdez on Thursday. Ronald Acuna Jr. was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a Grade 1 left-hamstring strain.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups List

Since many fantasy baseball leagues have daily waiver-wire moves or multiple waiver-wire runs per week for adding players, this later-week rankings list should help you keep track of players emerging in the weekend before we reach Sunday night waivers. This article will guide you through our weekly ranking of the relevant waiver-wire pickup options, including how to prioritize them for your league (depending on the league size).

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

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Outlooks

Some of the top waiver wire names include Alex Lange, Colt Emerson, Coby Mayo, Martin Perez, Clayton Beeter, and more. Read some of the waiver wire outlooks below:

Alex Lange, Kansas City Royals

Kansas City Royals' reliever Alex Lange picked up his fourth save on Tuesday, working one inning, allowing one walk, and recording two strikeouts. The save was Lange's fourth in the past week, as he appears to be the front-runner as the Royals' preferred closer at this time.

Lucas Erceg, who has been closing games out for the majority of the year, is struggling immensely with a 6.00 ERA and 1.96 WHIP, and has six blown saves. Lange, on the other hand, is now a perfect 4-for-4 in save chances and has a 1.45 WHIP, 4.06 ERA, and 34 strikeouts in 31 innings pitched. He was tagged with the loss and allowed one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out one against the Rangers in his last appearance.

Lange has some experience closing out games, dating back to 2023 with the Tigers, where he converted 26 saves and posted a 3.68 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. Considering Lange has recorded four of the last five saves for the Royals and four in the past week, he is becoming a must-add player in all formats where saves are scarce.

Carlos Estevez (shoulder), who was the Royals' projected closer coming into the season, has been rehabbing a shoulder and foot injury and doesn't appear to be progressing as the Royals had hoped, which should further solidify Lange as the Royals' reliever to have for the time being.

Colt Emerson, Seattle Mariners

Seattle Mariners rookie infielder Colt Emerson (back) is starting at shortstop and will bat ninth for Seattle in Thursday's series finale against the hosting Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Kyle Bradish at Camden Yards, according to MLB.com. Emerson didn't play in any of the last three games due to a bout with back spasms, but he's feeling good enough to play on Thursday.

The 20-year-old infield prospect is one of the most intriguing young power/speed threats in baseball, although he won't carry a ton of DFS appeal at the bottom of the Mariners' batting order in his return. In his first 19 games in the big leagues, Emerson has gone 15-for-62 (.242) with four home runs, five doubles, a triple, 10 RBI, and nine runs scored across 69 plate appearances.

He will play regularly for the M's at the 6 with J.P. Crawford (hand) on the injured list currently. Emerson has only five walks and 21 strikeouts early on, so he'll need to make more contact to capitalize on his potential.

Coby Mayo, Baltimore Orioles

Baltimore Orioles infielder Coby Mayo has fallen into a cold spell at the plate recently. Over the last week, Mayo is 3-for-21 at the plate, but fantasy managers shouldn't run away. Over the last 10 games, Mayo has smacked four of his nine home runs on the season.

The 24-year-old is struggling right now, but the power potential is legitimate. The O's are likely going to stick with Mayo through this slump and let him get everyday at-bats at the big league level. There isn't a ton of value right now, but Mayo could be someone worth stashing in deep leagues as a potential power source.

Martin Perez, Atlanta Braves

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Martin Perez was supposed to take the mound against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. That game was postponed due to weather. Instead, Perez is expected to take the mound for the series opener against the New York Mets on Friday. The veteran southpaw is an intriguing streaming option given his recent success.

Over the last three starts, Perez owns a 3.45 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP, with nine strikeouts over 15 2/3 innings of work. He also has strong career numbers against the Mets, with a 3.09 ERA across 43 2/3 innings. The lack of strikeouts will likely keep his overall ceiling lower, but Perez remains a fairly trustworthy option at the moment.

Clayton Beeter, Washington Nationals

Despite a recent rough patch, Washington Natinals right-handed reliever Clayton Beeter is the best source of saves in D.C. Beeter hasn't had the best start to June -- he's allowed four earned runs on five hits while walking one and striking out four in 3 2/3 innings in three outings -- but he entered the month with a 2.30 ERA, 15 strikeouts, 12 walks, a win, four saves, and two holds for the Nationals as their top option for the ninth inning.

Overall, the 27-year-old former second-round pick by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020 out of Texas Tech University has gone 2-1 with a 3.72 ERA (4.81 FIP), 1.29 WHIP, four saves, three holds, 19 strikeouts, and 13 walks in 19 1/3 innings pitched. Before the calendar flipped to June, Beeter had six straight scoreless appearances for the Nats to solidify his role as their closer. We're not saying that Beeter is a high-end closing option in fantasy, but for managers scrounging for saves, he's rostered in just 11% of Yahoo leagues.
