Who to Watch This Week
The latest waiver wire round‑ups are turning heads across fantasy baseball leagues, as a handful of under‑the‑radar players are posting statistically significant performances that could reshape roster decisions.
Carson Benge erupted for a 5‑for‑5 outing, smacking a home run and a triple, a display that instantly elevated his profile among streaming options.
Brandon Marsh is posting a .333/.366/.514 slash line with eight homers, indicating a blend of contact and power that makes him a coveted add.
Isaac Paredes has homered in three consecutive games, pushing his season total to nine long balls and signaling a sustained power surge.
Noah Cameron has logged five straight quality starts, striking out 31 batters over 30 innings, underscoring his reliability for fantasy starters.
Jared Jones made his first start since 2024, and after a modest debut he followed up with five shutout innings, hinting at a potential rebound.
Walker Buehler allowed just one run in 4 2/3 innings but was hampered by inefficiency, a reminder that even established arms can struggle with pitch count.
Colton Cowser has been red‑hot, batting .339 over the past month and already with six homers, making him a prime target for roster spots.
Brandon Valenzuela has launched three homers in his last four games, though his playing time may dip as managers weigh options.
Troy Melton has posted three solid starts since returning from the injured list, limiting opponents to four runs across 20 2/3 innings, a encouraging sign for his health.
Connelly Early is slated for a two‑start week and has been solid overall, offering a low‑risk, high‑reward option for managers seeking depth.
Spencer Arrighetti surrendered three runs in six innings but posted a concerning 12.8% walk rate, a metric that could limit his upside despite the raw talent.
