Jake Burger is slugging his way onto rosters at a rate that should alarm you if he's still available — his ownership jumped 11 percentage points in the last week alone, and at 24% rostered, the window is closing fast on a first baseman posting a .440 wOBA over the past seven days.

Today's Top Adds

Jake Burger (1B, TEX) — 24% Rostered

Burger's seven-day slash is screaming: .304 AVG, 2 HR, and that .440 wOBA towers over his .343 mark from the past 30 days. The plate discipline is driving this — his walk rate surged to 14.8% over the last week compared to 10.3% over 30 days, and he's pairing that selectivity with 50.0% hard-hit quality across 27 plate appearances. This isn't a two-game mirage. Five games of sustained production with rising underlying metrics and rapidly climbing ownership means the free lunch ends soon. Add now in all formats.

Josh Jung (3B, TEX) — 42% Rostered

Jung's ownership actually dipped 13% over the past week, which is a gift. His seven-day numbers tell a completely different story: .316 AVG, .350 wOBA (up from .336 over 30 days), a 92.7 mph average exit velocity, and 60.0% hard-hit quality. The most eye-popping signal is the strikeout rate collapse — down to 4.5% over the past week from 12.1% over 30 days. Pair that with a walk rate that doubled from 6.5% to 13.6%, and you're looking at a hitter whose approach has sharpened dramatically. Managers dropping him are making a mistake. If he's sitting on your wire because of the ownership dip, this is a buy-low that barely qualifies as "buying."

Watch List

Carlos Cortes (OF, ATH)

The most intriguing name on today's watch list. A .475 wOBA over the past seven days with a .368 AVG and a walk rate that ballooned to 25.9% (up from 12.5% over 30 days) across 27 PA. His strikeout rate dropped to 7.4% from 12.5%. At only 13% rostered, this is the kind of profile that becomes an "Add Now" within a week if the trend holds. The 87.9 mph exit velocity is the only thing keeping him in watch territory — the batted ball quality needs to catch up to the results.

Tanner Scott (RP, LAD)

A 58.3% strikeout rate over the past week. A -0.23 FIP. A 19.09 K/9. Scott is in an elite reliever pocket right now, and at 47% rostered, he's available in more leagues than he should be. The sample is still early at five appearances, but these aren't borderline signals — they're absurd.

Yoendrys Gómez (SP/RP, MIN)

Just 1% rostered with a 40.0% strikeout rate over the past week (up from 26.3% over 30 days) and a 1.61 FIP. This is the earliest signal on the board — deep-league stash only — but the K-rate spike is impossible to ignore.

Jeff McNeil (2B/OF, ATH)

McNeil's .231 average doesn't jump off the page, but the underlying indicators are trending right: .305 wOBA (up from .287), 92.5 mph exit velocity, 58.3% hard-hit quality, and a 13.3% walk rate (from 8.7%). At 8% rostered, he's widely available and showing signs of a quiet ramp-up. Monitor for another week.

Joel Kuhnel (RP, ATH)

A clean 0.00 ERA and 9 K/9 over the past week with a 1.85 FIP. Strikeout rate rising from 17.0% to 23.5%. Early signal in five appearances, but the direction is right for a reliever at just 9% rostered.

Joe Mack (C, MIA)

Catcher-desperate managers should have this name circled. Mack's seven-day wOBA rose to .294 from .250, his strikeout rate dropped from 33.3% to 25.0%, and his walk rate surged from 7.4% to 18.8%. The 96.2 mph average exit velocity is the loudest number here — that's elite-level contact quality from a 2% rostered backstop. The batting average (.231) and lack of homers keep this on the watch list, but the exit velocity alone warrants attention in two-catcher formats.

Jason Adam (RP, SD)

A 0.00 ERA week with a 2.10 FIP and his K-rate climbing from 15.7% to 25.0%. At 17% rostered, he's a speculative add in leagues that reward holds or where saves could come his way. Early signal — five appearances — but the ratios are pristine.

Jakob Junis (RP, TEX)

Junis posted a 0.00 ERA, 9 K/9, and a sparkling 1.10 FIP over the past week with a strikeout rate jumping from 17.9% to 28.6%. Ownership dipped 2%, which seems wrong given the production. Worth monitoring in deeper formats.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific signals triggered today — the algorithm didn't flag any matchup-driven one-start plays worth chasing. If you're desperate for a spot start, Yoendrys Gómez's 40.0% K-rate and 1.61 FIP make him the closest thing to a streaming dart on the board, but check his upcoming schedule before pulling the trigger. Full streaming recommendations return tomorrow.

Ownership Movers

  • Jake Burger (24%, +11% 7d): The biggest mover of the day, and it's completely justified. A .440 wOBA with improved plate discipline across five games is the kind of profile that drives adds. This train is leaving the station.
  • Josh Jung (42%, -13% 7d): The week's most puzzling drop. Ownership fell 13 points while his wOBA climbed, his K-rate cratered to 4.5%, and his exit velocity hit 92.7 mph. This is a market correction waiting to happen in the other direction.
  • Jeff McNeil (8%, +1% 7d): Barely moving on the ownership front, which matches his quiet stat line. The underlying gains in hard-hit quality and walk rate haven't translated to a breakout yet.
  • Carlos Cortes (13%, +0% 7d): Flat ownership despite a .475 wOBA week. The market hasn't caught on. This is the gap you exploit.
  • Tanner Scott (47%, +0% 7d): No movement despite a 58.3% K-rate week. Already rostered in close to half of leagues, so this is less of an opportunity and more of a "hold tight if you have him" confirmation.

Quick Hits

  • Texas is the team to watch this week. Three Rangers — Burger, Jung, and Junis — showed up in today's signals. That lineup may be clicking into a higher gear collectively.
  • Joe Mack's 96.2 mph exit velocity is the highest among all position players flagged today, outpacing Jung's 92.7 and McNeil's 92.5. Catcher is a wasteland — this kind of contact quality at the thinnest position deserves a roster spot in deeper leagues.
  • Tanner Scott's -0.23 FIP is, mathematically, almost impossible to sustain. But it tells you the underlying peripherals — strikeouts, lack of walks, lack of homers allowed — are about as dominant as a reliever can be over a short window.
  • Walk rate spikes are everywhere today. Burger (14.8%), Jung (13.6%), Cortes (25.9%), McNeil (13.3%), and Mack (18.8%) all posted seven-day walk rates significantly above their 30-day baselines. Patient hitters tend to sustain production better than free swingers riding BABIP luck.
  • Yoendrys Gómez at 1% rostered with a 40.0% strikeout rate is the deepest-league dart throw of the day. If you're in a league with 14+ teams, this is the name to stash before the K-rate starts circulating on podcasts later this week.
