Today's Top Adds

Isaac Paredes is the best hitter on your waiver wire right now, and at 44% ownership, he won't be there Tuesday. His 7-day wOBA sits at .485 against a 30-day mark of .328 — that's not a blip, that's a gear shift. Three home runs, a .300 average, 95.8 mph exit velocity, and 62.5% hard-hit rate over the past week all point to a hitter squaring the ball up with authority. The walk rate has climbed to 16.0% from 9.6% over 30 days, meaning he's hunting better pitches and not chasing. In Houston's lineup, the run production opportunities are guaranteed. Move now.

Luis García Jr. (1B/2B, WSH) — Add Now

García's profile over the last seven days is the kind of breakout signal you don't ignore: a .446 wOBA, three home runs, and a strikeout rate that cratered from 11.6% over 30 days to just 4.2% in the past week. He's walking more (8.3% vs. 4.7%), hitting the ball harder (90.1 mph EV, 50.0% hard-hit rate), and getting consistent at-bats with 24 plate appearances in five games. At 42% rostered, the window is closing but hasn't shut. The dual eligibility at first and second base adds roster flexibility most waiver adds can't offer.

Masyn Winn (SS, STL) — Add Now

The batting average at .190 will scare off the surface-level managers in your league. Let them sleep. Winn's underlying numbers are surging — a 70.8% hard-hit rate and 94.5 mph exit velocity over the past week are elite contact-quality numbers that the results haven't caught up to yet. His wOBA jumped from .255 over 30 days to .312 in the last seven, and the plate discipline is tightening with a walk rate up to 15.4% from 9.2%. At 34% ownership, this is a buy-low on a young shortstop whose batted-ball data says the average is about to spike. Twenty-six plate appearances in five games confirms he's locked into the everyday lineup.

Watch List

Jacob Latz (SP/RP, TEX)

Ownership jumped 5% in the past week to 39% — the fastest mover on today's board. A 40.0% strikeout rate over the last seven days (up from 32.5% over 30 days) and a 0.85 FIP explain why. If he gets another start with similar swing-and-miss stuff, he graduates from Watch to Add immediately.

Kody Clemens (1B/2B/OF, MIN)

Only 5% rostered despite a .455 wOBA, .333 average, two home runs, and a 94.3 mph exit velocity over the last seven days with 25 plate appearances. The multi-position eligibility is valuable. This is the kind of player who's 30% owned by next Sunday if the production holds — get ahead of it.

Tyler Freeman (2B/OF, COL)

A .504 wOBA and .412 average over the past week at just 2% ownership is a screaming signal if you can stomach the Coors context. The strikeout rate dropped from 11.2% to 5.0%, and the walk rate tripled from 6.2% to 15.0%. The exit velocity (87.6 mph) and hard-hit rate (47.2%) are the red flags — this profile needs those underlying quality numbers to rise before it's a full add. Watch one more week.

Brandon Eisert (SP/RP, CWS)

A 57.1% strikeout rate and a -0.38 FIP over the last seven days are absurd numbers, even in a small sample. He's essentially unowned at 0% rostered. This is a deep-league dart throw — the White Sox usage pattern will determine whether he's relevant, but the stuff is undeniable right now.

Jacob Gonzalez (2B/SS, CWS)

The batted-ball data here is loud: 88.9% hard-hit rate and 101.6 mph average exit velocity over the past week. The production (.333 AVG, .340 wOBA) is modest relative to that contact quality, which means there's upside yet to be realized. At 6% rostered, this is a stash in deeper formats. Zero home runs despite that exit velocity suggests some of those barrels are going to start leaving the yard.

Josh Bell (1B, MIN)

Bell is quietly raking — .348 average, .381 wOBA, 97.0 mph exit velocity, and a 76.7% hard-hit rate over five games with 25 plate appearances. At 8% ownership, he's being ignored. The lack of home runs is the only thing keeping him off the Add Now list. If he starts driving the ball over the fence with that exit velocity, ownership will climb fast.

Dennis Santana (RP, PIT)

The 40.0% strikeout rate and 0.60 FIP flash upside, but the 9.00 ERA tells you the results aren't matching the peripherals yet. Ownership is actually cooling off, dropping 3% to 46%. Hold if you own him — the strikeout spike from 22.0% over 30 days to 40.0% in the last week suggests the ERA will regress downward — but don't chase the add in shallow leagues until the surface stats cooperate.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific signals today — the algorithm didn't flag any matchup-based pitching plays for the coming week. If you need a spot start, Jacob Latz is the closest option based on his 40.0% K rate and 0.85 FIP, though he profiles more as a full add than a one-week rental. Check back tomorrow for updated streaming recommendations.

Ownership Movers

Jacob Latz leads all risers at +5% to 39% ownership, and the move is fully justified. A 40.0% strikeout rate and sub-1.00 FIP are the kind of numbers that don't stay on waivers. This train is leaving the station.

Kody Clemens climbed 2% to 5% — still massively under-owned relative to his output. A .455 wOBA and two home runs in a week should have this number much higher. The market is slow to react here.

Luis García Jr. ticked up just 1% to 42% despite a .446 wOBA week with three homers. That ownership number should accelerate today as weekend managers catch up to the data.

Tyler Freeman moved 1% to 2%. Given the .504 wOBA, the lack of movement suggests most managers are skeptical — and the soft contact metrics give them reason. Still, this is worth monitoring.

Brandon Eisert remains at 0% despite a 57.1% strikeout rate. The White Sox factor is real — nobody wants pieces of that roster — but the peripherals demand at least a roster stash in leagues with 12+ teams.

Quick Hits

  • Jacob Gonzalez's 101.6 mph average exit velocity over the past week is the highest among all players flagged today — by a wide margin. That 88.9% hard-hit rate paired with zero home runs is a powder keg waiting to ignite.
  • Isaac Paredes posted the highest wOBA (.485) of any Add Now candidate this week. His 16.0% walk rate is elite-tier plate discipline that underpins the entire breakout.
  • Masyn Winn's 70.8% hard-hit rate is the kind of number that makes a .190 batting average a feature, not a bug. The BABIP gods owe him, and they're about to pay up.
  • Brandon Eisert's -0.38 FIP is mathematically absurd and screams small sample, but even regressed significantly, it points to a pitcher generating outs at an elite rate through strikeouts alone.
  • Luis García Jr. cut his strikeout rate from 11.6% to 4.2% in one week while tripling his power output. That combination — fewer whiffs plus more damage — is the most reliable signal that a hot streak has staying power.
