Brandon Marsh is slugging at a .599 wOBA over the past seven days — add him now before his 45% ownership doubles by the weekend. That's the headline from Tuesday's waiver scan, but there's plenty more to act on. Ten rising signals hit overnight, headlined by two urgent adds and a deep watch list that includes a catcher nobody owns and a pair of reliever arms flashing elite strikeout stuff.

Today's Top Adds

Brandon Marsh (OF, PHI) — 45% Owned (+10% 7d)

This is the add that wins your week. Marsh is hitting .500 over the past seven days with 3 home runs and a .599 wOBA against a 30-day baseline of .384 — that's not a minor hot streak, that's a gear change. The quality-of-contact numbers back it up: 56.2% hard-hit rate, 94.3 mph average exit velocity, and his strikeout rate has dropped from 28.4% over 30 days to 24.0% in the last week. He's getting 25 plate appearances across five games, so this isn't a pinch-hit mirage. Ownership surged 10 points in seven days and is accelerating. If he's sitting on your wire, he won't be by Thursday.

Bryce Eldridge (1B, SF) — 18% Owned (+11% 7d)

Eldridge's ownership jumped 11 points in a week, the biggest surge on the board, and the underlying data says the crowd is right. His 7-day wOBA sits at .383 against a .374 30-day mark — not a wild spike, but a rising trend from an already strong baseline. He's hitting .375 with a 94.4 mph exit velocity and a 50.0% hard-hit rate across 27 plate appearances. The consistency is the story here: regular playing time, steady quality contact, and a 30-day wOBA that was already above average before the latest uptick. At 18% owned, you're still ahead of most leagues. The window is closing fast.

Watch List

Vaughn Grissom (1B/2B/3B, LAA) — 3% Owned

The multi-position eligibility makes this one especially interesting. Grissom's 7-day wOBA exploded to .484 from a .303 30-day mark, backed by a 75.0% hard-hit rate and 100.1 mph average exit velocity. He's hitting .333 with a homer and a slightly improved walk rate (7.1% vs. 6.7%). At 3% owned, there's zero urgency from a roster-race standpoint — but if this EV profile holds for another week, he's an add.

Gary Sánchez (C, MIL) — 2% Owned

The catcher wasteland makes this signal worth flagging. Sánchez posted a .534 wOBA over the past seven days with an 80.0% hard-hit rate and 100.6 mph exit velocity. His strikeout rate plummeted from 21.2% to 11.1%. Early signal — five games only — but if you're streaming catchers, put him on the radar beside Hunter Goodman and Dillon Dingler.

Anthony Bender (RP, MIA) — 1% Owned

A 0.43 FIP with a 36.4% strikeout rate over the past week. Zero earned runs. The 30-day K rate was already a healthy 29.3%, so the spike isn't coming from nothing. Holds-league gold if the ratios sustain; monitor for another five appearances.

Tim Herrin (RP, CLE) — 1% Owned

Similar profile to Bender: 0.88 FIP, 37.5% K rate (up from 31.1% over 30 days), and a 0.00 ERA in the sample window. Cleveland's bullpen hierarchy is worth watching — Herrin is pitching his way into higher-leverage work.

Kyle Hurt (RP, LAD) — 3% Owned

The 37.5% strikeout rate and 2.10 FIP are tantalizing, but the 12.00 ERA screams sequencing disaster. He's getting whiffs and giving up damage at the same time. Pure volatility play — the K upside is real, but so is the risk. Wait for the ERA to regress toward that FIP before committing a roster spot.

Will Vest (RP, DET) — 5% Owned

Vest's K rate climbed from 25.6% to 31.2% over the past week with a sparkling 1.21 FIP and a 2.43 ERA. He's translating strikeouts into results. Worth a speculative add in deeper leagues that count holds or need ratio help.

Nick Madrigal (2B, LAA) — 0% Owned

The anti-power play. Madrigal is hitting .353 with a .386 wOBA, walking at a 15.0% rate (up from 11.1%), and striking out just 5.0% of the time. The 91.3 mph exit velocity and 41.7% hard-hit rate cap his ceiling, but in OBP leagues, the plate discipline transformation is genuinely interesting. He's getting 20 PA in a week — consistent playing time at least.

Chad Patrick (SP/RP, MIL) — 11% Owned

Patrick logged 6.7 innings over the past week with a 2.20 FIP and a 25.0% strikeout rate. The dual eligibility and rotation workload make him a sneaky streaming candidate. Ownership actually dipped 1% — the market is sleeping on the FIP.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific signals triggered today, but if you need a spot start, Chad Patrick makes the strongest case from the watch list. His 2.20 FIP and 25.0% K rate over 6.7 innings of work suggest a pitcher outperforming his surface results. At 11% owned, he's available everywhere and offers SP/RP flexibility. Check his next scheduled start and deploy accordingly.

Ownership Movers

  • Bryce Eldridge (+11% to 18%): Justified. The rising wOBA trend, hard-hit data, and consistent playing time all support the move. This train has left the station.
  • Brandon Marsh (+10% to 45%): Absolutely justified. A .599 wOBA with declining strikeouts is the kind of profile that turns a 45% player into a 70% one in a hurry.
  • Vaughn Grissom (+1% to 3%): The ownership hasn't caught up to the signal yet. A 100.1 mph exit velocity at 3% ownership is a market inefficiency. The question is sustainability.
  • Will Vest (5%, stable): Flat ownership despite a 1.21 FIP and rising K rate. The market is undervaluing this reliever.
  • Kyle Hurt (3%, stable): Flat is correct for now. The 12.00 ERA keeps managers away despite the elite K rate, and that's rational behavior until the results catch up to the process.

Quick Hits

  • Gary Sánchez's 80.0% hard-hit rate leads all players in today's scan. At 2% owned, he's the highest-upside free square on the board — if the sample grows.
  • Three relievers — Anthony Bender, Tim Herrin, and Kyle Hurt — all flashed K rates above 36% in the past week. If your league counts holds or you need ratio help, this is the tier to mine.
  • Nick Madrigal's 5.0% strikeout rate over the past week is the lowest in today's data set. Combined with a 15.0% walk rate, that's a .386 wOBA built entirely on plate discipline — a rare profile worth monitoring in OBP formats.
  • Vaughn Grissom's 100.1 mph average exit velocity is the highest among hitters flagged today, edging out Sánchez's 100.6 mph — both well above the hard-contact threshold that typically predicts sustained production.
  • Chad Patrick is the only pitcher in today's scan with rotation-level workload (6.7 IP in 7 days) and a sub-2.50 FIP. His ownership actually dropped 1%. That's a buy signal.
