Daily Waiver Report — Sunday, May 17, 2026

Kody Clemens is slashing .474 with a .560 wOBA over the past week at 1% ownership — that's the kind of disconnect between production and availability that wins waiver wars. But he's not the top add today. That distinction belongs to a Cleveland infielder whose bat has quietly caught fire with real underlying quality to back it up.

Today's Top Adds

Angel Martínez (2B, OF — CLE) — Add Now

Martínez's seven-day wOBA has exploded to .513, a massive jump from his .343 mark over the past 30 days, and the process backs up the results. His strikeout rate has dropped from 25.6% to 22.7% while his walk rate has ticked up from 3.3% to 4.5%. He's hitting the ball hard — 92.8 mph exit velocity, 55.0% hard-hit rate — and he's produced 3 home runs with a .350 AVG across 22 plate appearances in the last week. At 25% ownership with zero movement over seven days, this is a window that hasn't closed yet. The dual eligibility at 2B and OF makes him a roster construction dream. Move now before the Monday morning crowd catches up.

Watch List

TJ Rumfield (1B — COL)

Rumfield's ownership has climbed to 11% (+2% over seven days), and the underlying numbers justify the attention. His wOBA has risen from .351 to .398, driven by a walk rate that's nearly doubled from 8.1% to 15.0%. The 46.7% hard-hit rate isn't elite, but the plate discipline improvement is real. Hitting .294 with a homer in 20 PA. Coors Field residency keeps the ceiling interesting — monitor for another strong week before committing a roster spot.

Justin Crawford (OF — PHI)

Crawford's seven-day walk rate has surged to 21.1%, up from 10.5% over 30 days, and his strikeout rate has dipped to 15.8% from 17.4%. The .200 AVG doesn't pop, but the .343 wOBA tells a fuller story — he's getting on base and hitting the ball with authority (52.0% hard-hit rate, 89.0 mph EV). At 10% owned, he's a speculative add in deeper formats if the plate discipline sticks.

Rhys Hoskins (1B — CLE)

The most intriguing profile on today's Watch List. Hoskins is sitting at just 1% ownership despite posting a .454 wOBA over the past week with a 94.8 mph exit velocity and a 60.0% hard-hit rate. The .222 AVG looks modest until you see the 41.2% walk rate (up from 25.0% over 30 days) and the K-rate drop from 23.7% to 17.6%. He's seeing the ball well and hammering what he swings at. One homer in 5 games. If the playing time remains consistent, he's a free add with enormous upside.

Kody Clemens (1B, 2B, OF — MIN)

Clemens is the hottest hitter on this entire list by wOBA: .560 over the past seven days, up from .358 over 30 days. He's hitting .474 with a homer across 20 PA, backed by a 95.6 mph exit velocity and 55.0% hard-hit rate. Strikeout rate down to 15.0% from 22.4%. At 1% owned with multi-position eligibility, this is a name to grab in deeper leagues right now and watch in standard formats.

Andruw Monasterio (1B, 2B, 3B, SS — BOS)

Four-position eligibility is the hook, and the recent production is the sell. Monasterio's wOBA has jumped from .287 to .389 over the past week while hitting .333 with a 54.2% hard-hit rate and 91.1 mph exit velocity. K-rate down to 13.3% from 17.0%. Still an early signal at 0% owned, but the contact quality and positional flexibility warrant a watchlist spot.

Huascar Brazobán (SP, RP — NYM)

Brazobán's 3.31 FIP is the headline, with his strikeout rate climbing from 21.4% to 23.5% over the past week. At 2% owned, he's a deep-league stash if the Mets give him consistent run as a starter. Early signal — needs more data.

Daniel Lynch IV (RP — KC)

A 35.7% K-rate and a 1.62 FIP over the past seven days is absurd, even in small sample relief outings. That translates to 16.67 K/9. Lynch is only 3% owned and carries an elite strikeout profile. If you need ratio help and Ks from your RP slots, he's a sneaky add.

Yohendrick Piñango (OF — TOR)

Piñango has logged 20 PA over the past week with a .363 wOBA, .278 AVG, and one homer. His walk rate has improved to 10.0% from 6.4%, and the 53.3% hard-hit rate with 91.6 mph EV shows he's not just getting lucky. Consistent playing time is the key variable — keep watching.

Spencer Jones (OF — NYY)

Jones's ownership has actually dropped 14% over the past week to 17%, but the underlying data suggests a buy-low window. His strikeout rate has cratered from 36.8% to 23.1% — a massive improvement. And the batted-ball data is elite: 83.3% hard-hit rate and 98.4 mph exit velocity. The .273 AVG and .309 wOBA look underwhelming, but the process numbers scream breakout. If you can stomach the volatility, this is a compelling stash at a discount.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific signals were detected today — the pitching landscape didn't produce a clear one-start recommendation. If you're looking for ratio help from the bullpen, Daniel Lynch IV and his 1.62 FIP remain available at 3% ownership. Check back tomorrow for starter-specific streaming picks.

Ownership Movers

  • TJ Rumfield (COL): 11% (+2%) — The biggest riser on the board, and the data backs it up. His walk rate has nearly doubled and his wOBA has climbed to .398. This train has just started moving.
  • Justin Crawford (PHI): 10% (+1%) — A modest bump, but the 21.1% walk rate suggests the masses haven't caught on to his improved approach yet.
  • Huascar Brazobán (NYM): 2% (+1%) — Barely a blip in ownership, but the FIP and rising K-rate are generating early interest. Justified in NL-only and deep mixed leagues.
  • Angel Martínez (CLE): 25% (flat) — The most alarming number on the board. A .513 wOBA and the ownership needle hasn't moved? This is the definition of market inefficiency.
  • Rhys Hoskins (CLE): 1% (flat) — A 94.8 mph EV and .454 wOBA at 1% owned. The market is sleeping.

Quick Hits

  • Spencer Jones posted an 83.3% hard-hit rate and 98.4 mph exit velocity over the past week — the best raw power numbers on today's entire board — yet his ownership dropped 14 points. That's a market overcorrection worth exploiting.
  • Rhys Hoskins drew walks at a 41.2% clip over the past seven days with a 60.0% hard-hit rate. He's either locked in or on the verge of a heater — either way, 1% ownership is criminal.
  • Kody Clemens leads all Watch List hitters with a .560 wOBA. His 95.6 mph exit velocity ranks second only to Jones on today's report. Multi-position eligibility sweetens the deal at 1% owned.
  • Daniel Lynch IV's 1.62 FIP is the lowest among all pitchers flagged today. At a 35.7% strikeout rate, he's missing bats at an elite clip out of Kansas City's bullpen.
  • Cleveland has two players featured today — Angel Martínez and Rhys Hoskins — both flashing elite hard-hit rates (55.0% and 60.0%) and surging wOBAs. The Guardians' lineup is producing real waiver wire value right now.
