Week 14 Waiver Wire Spotlight

Injuries have reshaped lineups across the league, opening windows for lesser‑known contributors to step into pivotal roles. Relief pitcher Gregory Soto of the Pittsburgh Pirates has logged 11 saves this season, posting a 3.16 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP, making him a reliable option for teams needing late‑inning stability. First baseman Bryce Eldridge of the San Francisco Giants is batting .319 with six homers and a .963 OPS over 33 games, a surge that has secured his spot in the majors as the Giants chase production. Paul Goldschmidt, now with the New York Yankees, has gone 29‑for‑82 (.354) with six homers and 22 RBI during his last 19 outings, a hot streak amplified by the absence of Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. Versatile utility player Sam Antonacci of the Chicago White Sox has stolen nine bases in 55 games, positioning him as a potential fill‑in for the sidelined Jose Ramirez, whose hand injury will sideline him for five to seven weeks. Outfielder Jake McCarthy of the Colorado Rockies enjoys a .375 wOBA and a .224 ISO at Coors Field, and with 13 of the next 16 games at home, his recent form could translate into a steady stream of runs and steals. Owners should prioritize Soto for save situations, Eldridge for power upside, Goldschmidt for consistent RBI production, Antonacci for speed, and McCarthy for high‑altitude matchups, while monitoring the health of Ramirez and the Yankees’ outfield.
