A look at the most promising players to add off the waiver wire and the recent performances that could influence both fantasy leagues and real‑world club dynamics.

Joshua Baez smashed four homers in a single game, a feat achieved by only 21 major leaguers, while the Cardinals evaluate a wave of prospects including Luis Lara, Karson Milbrandt and others for upcoming call-ups.

Veteran right‑hander Michael Wacha’s strong 2026 season has put him on the radar of contending clubs, with the Chicago Cubs emerging as a leading suitor. A proposed swap could see Wacha join Chicago in exchange for shortstop prospect Jefferson Rojas and outfield prospect Josiah Hartshorn, a move that could reshape both teams’ trajectories.

With a 3.58 ERA and 69 strikeouts in 14 starts, Michael Wacha is generating trade buzz, and a potential move to Chicago could reshape both the Royals’ rebuild and the Cubs’ playoff push.
