Oswald Peraza is slashing his way onto the radar with a .494 wOBA over the last seven days — up from .327 over the past month — and his ownership is actually dropping, down 5% on the week to just 2%. That disconnect between performance and roster% is exactly the kind of inefficiency that wins waiver wars.
Today's Top Adds
No players triggered Add Now signals in the past 24 hours. That doesn't mean the wire is dead — it means the best plays today are about positioning ahead of the crowd. The Watch List below is loaded with early-signal pitchers posting absurd strikeout rates and hitters with real batted-ball data backing their surges. Get there first.
Watch List
Jeff Hoffman (RP, TOR) — 60% owned
Already rostered in most competitive leagues, but if he's somehow free in yours, the last week screams priority claim. Hoffman has posted a 0.00 ERA with a 14.59 K/9 over his last five appearances, and his strikeout rate has ballooned to 50.0% in the last seven days (up from 31.4% over 30 days). The FIP sits at an absurd -0.14. This is a reliever pitching at an elite level right now — if your league counts holds or you need ratio help, he's the best arm on this list.
Jovani Morán (SP/RP, BOS) — 0% owned
A 50.0% strikeout rate in the last seven days, up from 26.3% over 30 days, with a -1.25 FIP. Yes, negative FIP. The sample is tiny — five games — but a guy striking out half the batters he faces with that kind of peripherals deserves a roster stash in deeper formats. He's free everywhere. Monitor his next two outings; if the swing-and-miss holds, he becomes an Add Now.
Yennier Cano (RP, BAL) — 0% owned
Cano's seven-day strikeout rate has spiked to 40.0% compared to 17.1% over 30 days — that's a massive velocity in the right direction. His 12.0 K/9 and 1.43 FIP over the last week suggest the stuff is playing up. The 3.00 ERA over that stretch is fine but secondary to the peripherals. Early signal, zero ownership — the definition of a free lottery ticket.
Alex Vesia (RP, LAD) — 8% owned
Ownership has actually fallen 13% in the last week, but Vesia is sitting on a 0.00 ERA, 13.33 K/9, and a 44.4% strikeout rate over his last five appearances. The FIP is 1.25. Managers who dropped him are going to want him back soon. This is a buy-low window on a Dodgers reliever with electric stuff.
Adrian Morejon (RP, SD) — 3% owned
Another reliever flashing zeroes — 0.00 ERA, 10.91 K/9, 36.4% strikeout rate, and a 0.68 FIP over the past week. Ownership has cooled off (down 7%), which makes no sense given the production. The strikeout rate is relatively stable between his seven-day and 30-day marks, suggesting this isn't a fluke spike but sustained performance.
Oswald Peraza (1B/2B/3B/SS, LAA) — 2% owned
The multi-position eligibility alone makes him interesting. A .400 batting average, one home run, and that .494 wOBA in the last seven days — up from .327 over 30 — all while cutting his strikeout rate to 22.2% (from 25.0%) and nudging his walk rate up to 5.6%. Five-game sample, but the trend lines are all green. His ownership dropping 5% makes this a contrarian play worth making.
Mike Yastrzemski (OF, ATL) — 1% owned
Yaz is producing a .445 wOBA over the last week with two home runs on a .278 average, and his walk rate has climbed to 13.6% (up from 5.8% over 30 days). That's 22 plate appearances in seven days — he's getting consistent at-bats. The exit velocity of 92.6 mph isn't elite, but the power output and discipline improvement are real. At 1% owned, he's essentially free.
Blake Dunn (OF, CIN) — 0% owned
Dunn is hitting the ball as hard as anyone on this list: 100.6 mph average exit velocity with a 100.0% hard-hit rate over his last five games. The .404 wOBA is strong, and he's logging 20 plate appearances in seven days, so the playing time is there. The 30-day wOBA was already .401, meaning this isn't a sudden spike — it's sustained quality contact. The fact that he's 0% owned is baffling.
Garrett Mitchell (OF, MIL) — 2% owned
Mitchell's strikeout rate has cratered from 32.9% over 30 days to 20.0% in the last seven — a massive improvement for a player whose swing-and-miss has always been the concern. Pair that with a 106.2 mph exit velocity, 100.0% hard-hit rate, and a .357 wOBA that's up from .248, and you've got a toolsy outfielder who might be figuring something out. One homer on a .222 average tells you the quality of contact is outpacing the box score. Watch closely.
Tristan Gray (2B/3B/SS, MIN) — 0% owned
Gray's plate discipline has completely flipped: his strikeout rate has dropped from 28.9% to 12.5% while his walk rate has surged from 10.5% to 25.0% over the last seven days. A .333 average and .392 wOBA follow naturally from that kind of approach change. The 89.5 mph exit velocity is the one red flag — he's not generating impact contact. If the discipline holds but the power doesn't come, he's a batting average and OBP play only.
Stream of the Day
No streaming-specific signals triggered today. The relievers above — particularly Jovani Morán and Yennier Cano — function as pseudo-streams if you need strikeout upside or ratio stabilization for the week. Check back tomorrow for starter-specific matchup plays.
Ownership Movers
The biggest story in ownership movement this week is what isn't moving. Blake Dunn, Yennier Cano, Jovani Morán, and Tristan Gray all sit at 0% owned with zero movement despite flashing legitimate signals. Mike Yastrzemski is at 1% with a .445 wOBA week. Meanwhile, Alex Vesia has shed 13% of his ownership while posting a 0.00 ERA and 44.4% K rate — that's the market being wrong. Oswald Peraza dropping 5% to 2% while carrying a .494 wOBA is the same kind of mismatch. In both cases, the data says add, not drop.
Quick Hits
- Strikeout rate leaders this week: Jovani Morán (50.0%), Jeff Hoffman (50.0%), Alex Vesia (44.4%), Yennier Cano (40.0%). Four relievers at 40%+ K rates over the last seven days — an unusual concentration of swing-and-miss on the wire.
- Garrett Mitchell's 106.2 mph exit velocity is the highest among all position players in today's signals. That's elite-level hard contact, and at 2% owned, the market hasn't priced it in.
- Blake Dunn's 100% hard-hit rate across five games is unsustainable but tells you the swing is dialed in. His 30-day wOBA of .401 suggests this isn't a mirage — it's confirmation.
- The multi-eligibility corner: Oswald Peraza (1B/2B/3B/SS) and Tristan Gray (2B/3B/SS) are both free and both offer premium positional flexibility. In formats where lineup construction matters, these are high-utility stashes.
- Negative FIP club: Both Jovani Morán (-1.25) and Jeff Hoffman (-0.14) posted negative FIPs this week. Small samples, but the underlying quality of their strikeout-to-walk-to-homer profiles is as good as it gets.
