Sam Antonacci is hitting .381 with a .435 wOBA over the last seven days, sits at just 10% ownership, and should be on your roster before the weekend. That's the headline, but Thursday's waiver scan surfaced 10 rising signals across hitters and arms worth your attention — including a White Sox starter whose strikeout rate has doubled and a Yankees outfield prospect finally making consistent contact.

Today's Top Adds

Sam Antonacci (2B/3B/OF, CWS) — Add Now

Antonacci's seven-day wOBA has jumped to .435, up from .357 over 30 days, and the underlying process supports it. His walk rate has climbed to 12.0% (up from 8.6% over 30 days), he's posting a 92.3 mph average exit velocity, and he's logging 40.0% hard-hit rate across 25 plate appearances in five games. This isn't a one-game spike — the multi-positional eligibility (2B/3B/OF) adds serious roster flexibility. Ownership has risen 5% in the last week to 10% and is accelerating. The window to grab him for free is closing fast.

Watch List

Sean Burke (SP/RP, CWS) — Watch

Burke's strikeout rate has exploded to 34.8% over the last seven days, up from 17.5% over 30 days, and his FIP sits at a pristine 0.93. He logged 6.0 IP in the past week. Ownership has surged 19 points to 25%, so if you're in a deeper league, this may already be an add rather than a watch. The sample is still early at five games, but that K-rate spike paired with that FIP demands attention.

Isaac Collins (OF, KC) — Watch

Collins is the quietest name on today's report and potentially the most interesting. A .444 wOBA in the last seven days, a 95.2 mph exit velocity, 68.3% hard-hit rate, and a strikeout rate that's plummeted from 30.1% to 18.5%. He's also walking at a 14.8% clip with 27 PA in five games. At 1% ownership, nobody is paying attention. That's exactly when you want to strike.

Eduard Bazardo (RP, SEA) — Watch

A 0.00 ERA and 1.36 FIP over the last seven days with a rising K-rate of 22.2% (up from 17.8%). At 3% ownership, he's a deep-league stash if Seattle's bullpen usage continues to funnel leverage innings his way.

Cole Sulser (RP, TB) — Watch

Similar profile to Bazardo: a 0.00 ERA, 1.77 FIP, and a K-rate climbing to 22.2% from 17.2%. Tampa's bullpen is always a moving target, but Sulser's underlying numbers are quietly sharp. Still just 1% owned.

Ryan Zeferjahn (RP, LAA) — Watch

The most electric arm in this group. A 36.4% K-rate over the last seven days with a 13.58 K/9, a 1.78 FIP, and 5.3 IP of work. His 30-day K-rate of 26.2% was already impressive — this is another gear entirely. At 0% ownership he's completely off the radar, and the 1.70 ERA suggests the results are catching up to the swing-and-miss stuff. Worth a speculative grab in leagues that reward holds or ratios.

Paul Goldschmidt (1B, NYY) — Watch

The veteran's seven-day wOBA is up to .333 from .304 over 30 days, and the quality-of-contact indicators are encouraging: 96.4 mph exit velocity with a 62.5% hard-hit rate. His strikeout rate has also dropped from 23.1% to 18.8%. At 2% ownership, most managers have written him off. If the hard contact sustains, the counting stats will follow.

Ryan McMahon (3B, NYY) — Watch

McMahon is slashing .368 with a .421 wOBA over the last seven days, and his strikeout rate has dipped from 27.5% to 21.1%. The 52.1% hard-hit rate and 91.5 mph exit velocity aren't elite, but the contact quality paired with the improved plate discipline makes this a real trend, not noise. Also just 2% owned.

Jasson Domínguez (OF, NYY) — Watch

The most notable number here is the strikeout rate: 5.0% over the past seven days, down from 10.7% over 30 days. Domínguez is hitting .278 with a .383 wOBA, a homer, and a 92.5 mph exit velocity across 20 PA. At 21% ownership he's more widely available than he should be if this contact trend holds. The walk rate has also ticked up to 5.0% from 3.6%. The tools have never been in question — the approach might finally be catching up.

Kyle Manzardo (1B, CLE) — Watch

Manzardo's .250 average and .296 wOBA aren't turning heads, but look underneath: a 77.1% hard-hit rate and 95.8 mph exit velocity over the past week. His strikeout rate is also trending down from 31.6% to 27.8%. The results haven't fully arrived yet, but that hard-hit quality is screaming that a breakout stretch is imminent. At 7% ownership, he's a bet on the process over the box score.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific signals triggered today. With no matchup-based or spot-start data in the current scan, this section takes a rest — check back tomorrow for weekend streaming targets. If you're looking for ratio help in the meantime, Ryan Zeferjahn's 0% ownership and 1.70 ERA over 5.3 IP make him the closest thing to a free stream available right now.

Ownership Movers

  • Sean Burke (CWS): 25% (+19% 7d) — The biggest mover on the board, and entirely justified. A 34.8% K-rate and 0.93 FIP aren't a mirage at this point. The ownership is catching up to the performance. If he's available, act now before he's a 50% add by Monday.
  • Sam Antonacci (CWS): 10% (+5% 7d) — Rising fast and today's top add. The multi-position eligibility and .435 wOBA make this one of those rare adds where the upside and the floor are both appealing.
  • Isaac Collins (KC): 1% — Flat ownership despite elite underlying numbers. The market hasn't noticed yet. This is your edge.
  • Eduard Bazardo (SEA): 3% — No ownership movement despite a 0.00 ERA and strong FIP. Deep-league managers should be paying closer attention.
  • Cole Sulser (TB): 1% — Another reliever with zeroes on the ERA line and no roster buzz. The ownership flatness here tells you the window is wide open.

Quick Hits

  • Isaac Collins' 68.3% hard-hit rate is the highest among all hitters flagged today, and his 95.2 mph exit velocity leads the group. At 1% owned, he's the most undervalued bat on this report by a wide margin.
  • Kyle Manzardo's 77.1% hard-hit rate is staggering even by barrel-chaser standards. The average and wOBA haven't caught up yet, but that kind of contact quality doesn't stay quiet for long.
  • Three Yankees — Goldschmidt, McMahon, and Domínguez — all showed up on the watch list simultaneously. All three are posting declining strikeout rates and rising quality-of-contact metrics. Something's cooking in the Bronx lineup.
  • Ryan Zeferjahn's 13.58 K/9 over the past week is the single most dominant relief pitching number in today's data. At 0% owned, he's a ghost on the wire. That won't last if the Angels start using him in higher-leverage spots.
  • The White Sox produced two of today's top signals in Antonacci and Burke. CWS fantasy assets have been an afterthought all season, but both players are generating real underlying metrics that transcend team context.
