Max Muncy is slugging like it's 2023 again — a .636 wOBA over the past seven days with four homers — and at 52% ownership, he's still sitting on nearly half of all waiver wires. If you've been waiting for confirmation that the veteran's bat is back, the window to act is closing fast. Here's everything that moved the needle in the last 24 hours.

Today's Top Adds

Max Muncy (3B, LAD) — Add Now

This is the headliner. Muncy's 7-day wOBA of .636 dwarfs his .424 mark over the past 30 days, and his strikeout rate has cratered from 30.8% to 12.0% in the same span. He's hitting .478 with 4 HR across 25 plate appearances, backing it up with a 56.7% hard-hit rate and 91.0 mph average exit velocity. The plate discipline shift is the real story — a halved K-rate paired with a 177 wRC+ suggests this isn't just a hot streak; it's a mechanical correction. Ownership jumped 7% in the past week and is accelerating. At 52%, he won't be available much longer in competitive leagues.

Jac Caglianone (1B/OF, KC) — Add Now

Caglianone continues to make loud contact. His 100.3 mph average exit velocity over the past seven days is elite-tier, paired with a 68.3% hard-hit rate and a .445 wOBA that's up sharply from his .327 over 30 days. He's slashed his strikeout rate from 30.8% to 23.8% while bumping his walk rate to 9.5%. The 56% ownership feels low for a player flashing this kind of raw power with improving plate discipline. He hit .368 with a homer across 21 PA — the batted-ball data says this is sustainable.

Samuel Basallo (C, BAL) — Add Now

At just 23% ownership, Basallo is the best value on this list. His strikeout rate plummeted from 27.0% to 10.5% over the past week while his walk rate climbed to 15.8%. The 70.0% hard-hit rate and 94.1 mph exit velocity are driving a .353 wOBA — up significantly from .258 over 30 days. Catcher is thin in most formats. A young backstop in the Baltimore lineup showing a dramatically improved approach deserves a roster spot. The ownership trend is oddly cooling despite the data improving — that's a market inefficiency you should exploit.

Watch List

Moisés Ballesteros (C, CHC) — Watch

A .621 wOBA with a 70.0% hard-hit rate and a K-rate that's dropped from 21.4% to 10.0% is impossible to ignore. Ownership surged 10% to 17% in the past week. If the contact quality holds over the next few games, this becomes an Add Now.

Dalton Rushing (C, LAD) — Watch

Four homers in five games with a .660 wOBA and a 75.0% hard-hit rate at 96.4 mph exit velocity. The power is undeniable. He's at just 12% ownership but spiked 8% in the past week — managers are noticing. The question is playing time consistency, which isn't yet signaled in this data set.

Jesús Sánchez (OF, TOR) — Watch

The 4.0% strikeout rate over the past week is eye-catching, down from 16.7% over 30 days, and his walk rate ticked up to 8.0%. However, the .231 wOBA and .227 average show results haven't caught up yet. The 94.4 mph exit velocity and 56.0% hard-hit rate suggest the outcomes should improve if the approach sticks.

Carlos Cortes (OF, ATH) — Watch

At 1% ownership, Cortes is deep-league territory only — but the .451 wOBA with a .389 average and 94.6 mph exit velocity across 20 PA is real production. Monitor for continued playing time in Oakland's lineup.

Jonny DeLuca (OF, TB) — Watch

DeLuca's .462 wOBA with a 66.7% hard-hit rate and 95.1 mph exit velocity is intriguing. He's hitting .357 with a homer, and his wOBA jumped from .337 to .462 over the past week. At 1% owned, he's a speculative stash in deeper formats.

Caleb Durbin (2B/3B, BOS) — Watch

Durbin's approach overhaul is the story: a 5.3% K-rate and 15.8% walk rate over the past week versus 13.1% and 9.5% over 30 days, respectively. His wOBA climbed from .240 to .351. The power isn't there — no homers and 88.7 mph EV — but a patient contact bat with multi-position eligibility in Boston's lineup has value.

Justin Crawford (OF, PHI) — Watch

Crawford's K-rate dropped from 20.3% to 6.7% and his walk rate surged to 20.0%. The .182 average is ugly, but the .327 wOBA and improved discipline suggest a breakout could be loading. He's the highest-upside stash on this list if the contact quality follows the approach gains.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific signals were detected today — no pitching matchups or short-term plays met our thresholds. Check back tomorrow for updated streaming options. In the meantime, if you need a bat for the week, Carlos Cortes at 1% ownership with a .451 wOBA and consistent playing time (20 PA in 7 days) is the closest thing to a low-risk stream on the hitting side.

Ownership Movers

  • Moisés Ballesteros (+10% to 17%): Entirely justified. A .621 wOBA with a 70.0% hard-hit rate is not a mirage, even in a small sample. The ownership surge reflects real production from a premium position.
  • Dalton Rushing (+8% to 12%): Four homers will do that. The 75.0% hard-hit rate and 96.4 mph exit velocity back the power, but 12% is still criminally low if he's getting regular at-bats.
  • Max Muncy (+7% to 52%): The rise is warranted — but the fact that he's still available in nearly half of leagues is the real headline. The strikeout rate correction from 30.8% to 12.0% is the kind of sustainable change that underpins a multi-week run.
  • Jesús Sánchez and Carlos Cortes: Both sitting at single-digit or 1% ownership with no measurable change in the past week. The underlying data — particularly Sánchez's 4.0% K-rate and Cortes's .451 wOBA — suggests these names should be moving. Early adopters will benefit.

Quick Hits

  • Dalton Rushing's 75.0% hard-hit rate is the highest among all 10 flagged players today, paired with the highest average exit velocity at 96.4 mph. If he can get to 15+ PA per week consistently, he's a must-roster.
  • Basallo and Ballesteros both sport 70.0% hard-hit rates from the catcher position. If you're streaming catcher or punting the position, these two represent upside plays at 23% and 17% ownership, respectively.
  • Caglianone's 100.3 mph exit velocity leads all Add Now players by a wide margin. For context, that's the kind of number that typically correlates with elite power production over a full season. His 68.3% hard-hit rate backs it up.
  • Justin Crawford's 20.0% walk rate is the highest on today's entire board — up from 9.5% over 30 days. The Phillies' lineup provides run-scoring opportunities if the contact follows the discipline.
  • Three catchers — Basallo, Ballesteros, and Rushing — all appear in today's signals. Catcher is the thinnest fantasy position, and all three are under 25% ownership. If you're not carrying an impact backstop, today's the day to fix that.
