Each week the fantasy baseball community scours the waiver wire for the next breakout talent, and this edition highlights a mix of hitters and arms who have recently turned heads.
Hitters Making Noise
Anthony Seigler is batting .308 and has earned the Red Sox’s top‑of‑the‑order spot, while Josh Bell is posting a .347 average with runners in scoring position and already owns 60 RBI this season. Chase DeLauter, back from the injured list, is hitting .333 and already up to eight home runs, and Kody Clemens is slugging .500 with 10 homers in his last 30 games. Kahlil Watson added four stolen bases over the weekend and has nine RBIs in 17 appearances, giving him a rare blend of speed and production.
These numbers illustrate how quickly a player can shift a roster’s balance, especially in points leagues that reward on‑base and power production.
Pitching Prospects on the Rise
Logan Henderson, who dazzled earlier in the season, is slated to re‑enter the starting rotation, while Troy Melton boasts a 0.80 WHIP that has made him a reliable anchor for the Tigers. Brandon Sproat has struck out 21 batters over 15.1 innings in his last three starts, and Eric Lauer has posted a 2.88 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP across six outings for the Dodgers. Tyler Wells, meanwhile, has been one of Baltimore’s most dependable arms, allowing just a single run since the start of June.
The common thread among these additions is a blend of recent performance and clear role security, making them prime candidates for immediate lineup insertion.
