Daily Waiver Report — Thursday, June 18, 2026

Dominic Canzone is slashing at a .486 wOBA with a 4.3% strikeout rate over the past week, and he's sitting at just 18% ownership — that's the kind of disconnect that wins waiver priority claims. But he's not the only bat flashing elite signals this morning. Ten rising trends surfaced in the last 24 hours, headlined by three players who deserve roster spots right now and a handful of intriguing watches who could be next week's must-adds.

Today's Top Adds

Willi Castro (1B/2B/3B/SS/OF, COL) — Add Now

Castro is the hottest multi-position bat on the wire, and the league is catching on — ownership has surged 25 percentage points to 40% in just seven days. The underlying numbers justify the rush: a .450 wOBA over the past week, a strikeout rate that's been cut nearly in half (9.1% vs. 15.0% over 30 days), and a rising walk rate of 15.2%. He's been in the lineup consistently with 33 plate appearances over the last seven days, and the positional flexibility across five slots makes him a roster construction dream. The 88 mph average exit velocity isn't elite, but the 43.0% hard-hit rate and the contact quality are producing real results — .357 AVG with 2 homers. If he's available in your league, you're already late.

Kody Clemens (1B/2B/OF, MIN) — Add Now

Clemens has quietly put together a strong week in Minnesota: .280 AVG, 2 HR, a .389 wOBA, and a 91.0 mph average exit velocity that suggests the power is real. His strikeout rate has dropped from 16.0% over 30 days to 11.1% in the past week, while his walk rate climbed from 4.7% to 7.4% — a clear sign of improved plate discipline. At 24% ownership with a 13-point surge, he's still available in the majority of leagues. The 27 plate appearances over seven days confirm everyday playing time. Add him before the weekend slate locks.

Dominic Canzone (OF, SEA) — Add Now

Canzone's week has been absurd. A .486 wOBA, a .350 batting average, 2 home runs, and a microscopic 4.3% strikeout rate — down from 13.0% over 30 days. His 92.2 mph average exit velocity is the best of today's top adds, and the walk rate ticking up to 8.7% shows discipline, not just luck. At 18% ownership with an 11-point weekly surge, there's still a wide window to grab him in most formats. Twenty-three plate appearances confirm he's in the lineup daily. This is a bat with the underlying quality to sustain production.

Watch List

Davis Schneider (2B/OF, TOR)

The numbers are screaming, even if the sample is early: a .681 wOBA, .444 AVG, 2 HR, 101.2 mph exit velocity, and an 83.3% hard-hit rate over the past week. His strikeout rate dropped from 33.3% to 20.0%. At 0% ownership, he's either just been called up or just returned from absence — either way, if he gets a second week of consistent at-bats, he'll be a top add. Monitor the lineup card closely.

Edmundo Sosa (2B/3B/SS/OF, PHI)

Sosa's wOBA jumped from .322 over 30 days to .548 in the past week, with a .500 AVG, 1 HR, and an absurdly low 7.7% strikeout rate. The 63.9% hard-hit rate and 90.8 mph exit velocity add credibility. Multi-position eligibility in a Phillies lineup makes him interesting, but at 1% ownership and early-signal status, wait for another few games before pulling the trigger.

Calvin Faucher (RP, MIA)

Faucher posted a 0.00 ERA and 12 K/9 over the past week with a 1.43 FIP and a 30.8% strikeout rate. In a thin Miami bullpen, saves or holds opportunities could follow. He's the reliever to track if you need ratios or late-inning upside.

Garrett Mitchell (OF, MIL)

Mitchell's strikeout rate plummeted from 30.6% to 18.8% over the past week, and his .415 wOBA with 2 HR and a 93.5 mph exit velocity suggests he's tapping into the raw tools that made him a first-round pick. The 50.0% hard-hit rate is solid. If the K-rate improvement holds for another week, he becomes a must-add in all formats.

Jimmy Crooks (C, STL)

Catcher is a wasteland, so any signal at the position matters. Crooks' wOBA rose from .282 to .367, his strikeout rate dropped from 25.7% to 13.3%, and his walk rate climbed to 13.3%. The 92.5 mph exit velocity and 50.0% hard-hit rate show real contact quality. One homer in an early sample — worth monitoring if you're desperate at catcher.

Denzer Guzman (3B/SS, LAA)

Guzman's wOBA spiked from .247 to .370 on the strength of a .400 AVG, a 10.0% strikeout rate, and an impressive 95.4 mph average exit velocity with a 58.3% hard-hit rate. No home runs yet, but the exit velocity suggests power could come. He's seeing 20 plate appearances over seven days, confirming regular playing time. An intriguing stash in deeper leagues.

Mark Vientos (1B/3B, NYM)

Vientos' 30-day wOBA of .208 was ugly, but the past week tells a different story: .418 wOBA, .333 AVG, 1 HR, 93.4 mph exit velocity, and a 50.0% hard-hit rate. The strikeout rate is still elevated at 22.2%, but it's trending down from 25.8%. At 5% ownership, he's a name to watch if the Mets keep running him out there daily.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific pitching signals surfaced today. If you need a spot-start or a streamer arm, check back tomorrow when the weekend probables lock in. For today, the best short-term play is Davis Schneider if you can stomach the early sample — a .681 wOBA and 101.2 mph exit velocity is the kind of upside worth a speculative daily slot in DFS or shallow weekly leagues, especially at 0% ownership where you lose nothing if it doesn't pan out.

Ownership Movers

  • Willi Castro (40%, +25% 7d): Fully justified. A .450 wOBA, cratering strikeout rate, and five-position eligibility warrant the surge. He should be 60%+ by next week.
  • Kody Clemens (24%, +13% 7d): Justified. A 91.0 mph exit velocity and a .389 wOBA with consistent at-bats make this more than a hot streak. The ownership curve should keep climbing.
  • Dominic Canzone (18%, +11% 7d): Severely underowned relative to his production. A .486 wOBA and 4.3% K-rate? This should be 30%+ already. The market is slow — exploit it.
  • Davis Schneider (0%): The numbers are nuclear but the ownership hasn't moved yet. This is either a playing-time question or a data-lag issue. If he's in tonight's lineup, expect a spike.
  • Edmundo Sosa (1%): Too small a sample to chase aggressively, but the .548 wOBA and multi-position flexibility in Philly's lineup make him worth a watch at this price.

Quick Hits

  • Davis Schneider's 101.2 mph average exit velocity and 83.3% hard-hit rate are the most explosive batted-ball numbers in today's entire report — and he's on zero rosters. That's a market inefficiency waiting to correct.
  • Denzer Guzman's 95.4 mph exit velocity is quietly the second-best among today's signals, and he's doing it without any home runs yet. When the ball starts carrying, the power numbers will follow.
  • Willi Castro's strikeout rate dropped from 15.0% to 9.1% in a week — that's an elite contact skill for a player with five-position eligibility. The combination of plate discipline (15.2% walk rate) and contact makes his floor extremely high.
  • Calvin Faucher's 1.43 FIP with a 30.8% K-rate is the best pitching signal today. In a Miami bullpen that could see turnover, he's a potential closer-in-waiting for those in saves-need leagues.
  • The catcher position stays barren, but Jimmy Crooks' combination of declining K-rate (25.7% → 13.3%), rising walk rate (13.3%), and 92.5 mph exit velocity makes him the most interesting backstop on today's wire for two-catcher leagues.
