Waiver Wire Highlights
Week 12 of the fantasy baseball season arrives with a fresh batch of waiver wire opportunities, and the latest rankings reveal a deep pool of talent that could reshape matchups across the league.
One of the most talked‑about call‑ups is Cooper Pratt, the shortstop who was promoted by the Brewers from Triple‑A Nashville. Pratt made his MLB debut on Tuesday, stepping into the lineup and going 0‑for‑3, but his presence signals a potential uptick in playing time as the Brewers evaluate his long‑term fit.
Meanwhile, Colt Keith continued to shine, blasting three home runs and driving in six runs against the Astros, a performance that has propelled him into the conversation for the top 100 hitters.
Outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez is working his way back from a shoulder strain and a recent dental procedure, but the Yankees expect him to rejoin the lineup soon, making him a speculative add for those willing to gamble on a high‑upside bat.
In the bullpen, Garrett Whitlock has been a steady presence for the Red Sox, recording 27 strikeouts over 21 2/3 innings and posting a strong hold rate that keeps him on many streaming radars.
Ian Seymour, now being stretched into a starter role for the Rays, has shown a 25% strikeout rate that suggests he could become a reliable source of swing‑and‑miss.
Other names surfacing in the top 100 include Kerry Carpenter, Jordan Lawlar, Gage Jump, and Spencer Horwitz, each offering different upside whether through power, speed, or on‑base skills.
The pitching staff also features arms such as Hunter Greene, Jacob Latz, and JJ Bleday, while relievers Payton Tolle, Carson Benge, and Paul Sewald provide depth for managers looking to shore up late‑game options.
Injury updates continue to shape the wire, as the Mariners placed Randy Arozarena on the injured list, while Braves outfielder Michael Harris II was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Giants with lower‑back tightness, opening a window for replacements.
Trade rumors swirl around several contending clubs, and the ripple effects could push additional prospects into larger roles, making the next few days critical for finalizing roster moves.
