Daily Waiver Report — Sunday, June 21, 2026

Luke Keaschall is posting a .477 wOBA over the past seven days with a 20.8% walk rate and just a 12.5% strikeout rate — that's elite-level plate discipline from a second baseman sitting at 59% ownership who should be universally rostered by tonight. If he's somehow still on your wire, he's the first claim you make this morning.

Today's Top Adds

Spencer Horwitz (1B, PIT) — 23% Rostered

Horwitz's walk rate has spiked to 20.0% over the past week, up from 13.0% over 30 days, and that discipline is translating into a .363 wOBA backed by 91.0 mph exit velocity. At just 23% ownership with a +3% trend, the window is still wide open. He's logged 30 plate appearances over five games — this isn't a pinch-hit cameo, it's a locked-in everyday role. The batting average (.190) looks ugly on the surface, but the underlying quality of contact and patience profile say buy now before the BABIP correction catches up.

Ryan O'Hearn (1B/OF, PIT) — 59% Rostered

O'Hearn's strikeout rate has cratered from 29.9% over 30 days to 18.5% in the last week — that's a massive swing in approach quality. He's hitting .333 with a homer, a .361 wOBA, 91.5 mph exit velocity, and a 57.9% hard-hit rate across 27 plate appearances. Already at 59% ownership, he's more of a "make sure you haven't overlooked him" add than a deep-league find, but in any format where he's free, he should be on a roster immediately.

Luke Keaschall (2B, MIN) — 59% Rostered

The numbers here are borderline absurd: .477 wOBA over seven days against a .358 30-day mark, .368 batting average, a homer, 20.8% walk rate (up from 10.6%), and his strikeout rate has dropped to 12.5%. The 90.5 mph exit velocity and 45.9% hard-hit rate suggest the power isn't elite, but the on-base machine he's become is league-winning at a thin position. He's the best add on the board.

Josh Jung (3B, TEX) — 53% Rostered

Jung's ownership has actually dipped 3% this week, and the market is wrong. His strikeout rate has plummeted to 11.1% (down from 17.0% over 30 days), his walk rate has climbed to 11.1% (from 7.5%), and he's making premium contact at 94.8 mph exit velocity with a 61.6% hard-hit rate. The .261 average and .299 wOBA look pedestrian, but that exit velocity is the best among today's hitters. Jung is squaring balls up — the results are coming. Buy the dip.

Landen Roupp (SP, SF) — 46% Rostered

Roupp's K-rate has jumped to 28.0% over seven days (up from 23.3% over 30 days), translating to a 10.5 K/9 with a 3.43 FIP across 6.0 innings. That FIP-ERA alignment (3.00 ERA) suggests this isn't smoke and mirrors. Ownership has actually cooled 7% this past week, giving you a counter-trend buying opportunity on a starter generating legitimate swing-and-miss.

Watch List

Michael Petersen (RP, MIA) — 2% Rostered

A 50.0% strikeout rate over the past seven days (up from 36.4% over 30 days) with a 2.85 FIP. The 4.50 ERA doesn't match the underlying dominance — track him closely for another week of data. If the K-rate holds north of 40%, he's a must-add in any format that values ratios and strikeouts from the bullpen.

Lars Nootbaar (OF, STL) — 5% Rostered

The headline number: 97.6 mph average exit velocity with an 87.5% hard-hit rate. That's elite-level contact quality from a player sitting at just 5% ownership. He's hitting .333 with a .334 wOBA and a 13.6% walk rate across 22 plate appearances. The power hasn't translated to homers yet, but exit velocities this high don't stay quiet for long.

Alex Jackson (C, MIN) — 0% Rostered

Catcher is a wasteland, which makes Jackson's improving profile intriguing. His wOBA has risen to .305 (from .260 over 30 days), his strikeout rate has dropped to 27.3% (from 33.3%), and he's showing a 62.5% hard-hit rate with 93.5 mph exit velocity. Still an early signal — the ownership at 0% reflects the risk — but deeper leagues desperate at catcher should bookmark this one.

Huascar Brazobán (SP/RP, NYM) — 2% Rostered

A 30.0% strikeout rate (up from 27.5% over 30 days) paired with a 3.10 FIP. The dual eligibility adds roster flexibility. Needs one more strong outing to graduate from watch to add.

Ryan Ward (1B/OF, LAD) — 2% Rostered

Ward's wOBA has climbed to .382 (from .359 over 30 days) and his walk rate has surged to 25.0% (up from 11.1%). The 31.2% strikeout rate is still a concern, but it's trending down from 33.3%. Playing time in the Dodgers lineup is the swing factor — monitor it.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific signals triggered today. If you're looking for a spot start this week, Landen Roupp is the closest option with his 10.5 K/9 and 3.43 FIP, though he profiles more as a full add than a one-start streamer at this point. Check back tomorrow for dedicated streaming picks.

Ownership Movers

Spencer Horwitz (+3% to 23%) is the biggest mover this week, and the trend is justified — a 20.0% walk rate and .363 wOBA from a 23%-rostered player means there's still significant runway for ownership growth. Michael Petersen (+2% to 2%) is barely on radar screens but his 2.85 FIP and 50.0% K-rate suggest the early adopters are onto something real. Lars Nootbaar (+1% to 5%) is creeping up, though 97.6 mph exit velocity should be accelerating that climb much faster. The market is sleeping on him. Alex Jackson remains at 0%, which is understandable given the early-signal nature of his data, but catcher-needy managers should be first in line if the trends continue.

Quick Hits

  • Josh Jung's 94.8 mph exit velocity leads all players in today's report by a comfortable margin. Pair that with an 11.1% strikeout rate and the 53% ownership dropping 3% makes zero sense. The market is wrong — buy aggressively.
  • Lars Nootbaar's 87.5% hard-hit rate is absurd. For context, his 97.6 mph average exit velocity over the past week dwarfs every other hitter on this list. Zero homers feels like a statistical anomaly that resolves itself violently.
  • Pittsburgh's lineup features two Top Add players today in Horwitz and O'Hearn. Both are showing improved plate discipline simultaneously — worth monitoring whether lineup construction or approach changes are driving a team-wide trend.
  • Luke Keaschall's 20.8% walk rate over the past week is the highest among position players in today's data. When a player walks more than one in every five plate appearances while also striking out just 12.5% of the time, you're looking at a hitter who's seeing the ball at an elite level.
  • Michael Petersen is striking out half the batters he faces. A 50.0% K-rate, even in a small sample from a reliever, demands attention at 2% ownership. The 4.50 ERA screams sequencing variance against a 2.85 FIP.
