Andruw Monasterio Is Hitting Everything — And You're Running Out of Time to Add Him

Andruw Monasterio is slashing .375 with a .431 wOBA over the last seven days, he's been in the lineup every single day, and he's rostered in just 5% of leagues. The data is clear: this is an Add Now.

WaiverScout Called This Early

We've been tracking Monasterio since late May, when he was rostered in essentially zero leagues and our algorithm repeatedly classified him as a deprioritize. The signal shifted on July 12, when we first flagged him as a watch at 0% ownership. By July 31, he was still a watch at just 3%. Now the classification has escalated to Add Now, ownership has surged to 5% with a +4% jump in the last week alone, and the velocity is rising fast. Managers who've been following WaiverScout's signals had a weeks-long head start. The window is closing.

The Rolling Numbers Tell the Story

Monasterio's production hasn't been a blip — it's been building across every measurement window:

  • 7-day: .375 AVG, .431 wOBA, 1 HR, 19.2% K%, 26 PA
  • 14-day: .357 AVG, .401 wOBA, 1 HR, 20.8% K%, 6.2% BB%, 48 PA
  • 30-day: .359 AVG, .455 wOBA, 3 HR, 1 SB, 18.4% K%, 10.5% BB%, 76 PA

That 30-day line is the one that should make you move. A .455 wOBA over 76 plate appearances isn't noise — it's a solid sample showing genuine offensive production. The strikeout rate has held steady in the 18-20% range across all three windows, which suggests a real approach, not a hot streak propped up by BABIP luck. The 10.5% walk rate over 30 days adds plate discipline to the picture, even though the walks dried up in his most recent stretch.

Skills Check: What's Under the Hood

The 30-day Statcast numbers are stronger than the recent ones, and that's worth noting. His hard-hit rate sits at 47.2% with a 91.1 mph average exit velocity over 30 days, but those numbers dip to 38.9% and 89.5 mph over the last two weeks. That's a slight cooling of the quality-of-contact metrics, even as the batting average remains elite. This is real production, but the underlying power indicators suggest the batting average may moderate slightly. Even so, a .359 AVG over 76 PA with that kind of exit velocity profile isn't a mirage.

Opportunity and Eligibility — The Kicker

Monasterio qualifies at 1B, 2B, 3B, and SS in Boston. That kind of multi-position eligibility is a cheat code for roster construction. He's logged 26 plate appearances in the last seven days, confirming consistent playing time — this isn't a platoon bat getting spot starts. ESPN lists him hitting .266 on the season, and FantasyPros has noted his torrid recent stretch. The broader fantasy community is starting to catch on, but at 5% rostered, the vast majority of leagues still have him sitting on the wire.

If you need middle infield help — or honestly, help at any corner — Ernie Clement holds the same positional real estate in Boston, but Monasterio's bat is the one commanding daily at-bats right now.

Verdict: Add Now

Pick up Andruw Monasterio immediately. Three home runs and a steal over 76 PA with a .455 wOBA, elite multi-position eligibility, and locked-in playing time on a contending Red Sox team. The ownership trend is accelerating — he went from 1% to 5% in under two weeks. By next week's waiver cycle, he won't be free anymore. The numbers back it up. Go get him.
