Daily Waiver Report — Tuesday, July 7, 2026

Kyle Karros is mashing at a .519 wOBA over the last seven days with an average exit velocity of 100.0 mph, and he's sitting at just 9% ownership — if you need third base help, this is your move before the wave hits.

Today's Top Adds

Kyle Karros (3B, COL) — 9% Owned

Karros has been one of the most productive hitters in baseball over the past week, slashing .375 with 2 HR and a .519 wOBA across 29 plate appearances. The underlying quality is real: 83.3% hard-hit rate, 100.0 mph average exit velocity, and a walk rate that's climbed to 13.8% from 11.9% over the trailing 30 days. That's not a guy getting lucky on bloopers — that's a hitter squaring the ball up and taking his walks. Ownership has surged 7% in the last week alone, which means sharper leagues are already acting. At 9% rostered, he's still widely available, but this window is closing fast. Add now in all formats.

Watch List

Garrett Whitlock (RP, BOS) — 19% Owned

Whitlock's strikeout rate has nearly doubled over the last week — 50.0% K rate in his last 5 appearances versus 26.7% over 30 days, generating a sparkling -0.38 FIP and 15.65 K/9. The ERA sits at a clean 0.00 for the week. This is still an early signal with limited innings, but if he's closing or pitching high-leverage in Boston, that K spike makes him a priority add the moment it stabilizes over another week of data.

Trevor Larnach (OF, MIN) — 9% Owned

Larnach is hitting .333 with a .433 wOBA and 100.7 mph average exit velocity over 22 plate appearances. The walk rate has ballooned to 18.2% from 7.4% over 30 days, suggesting a real approach change. The 75.0% hard-hit rate supports the production. He needs another consistent week to move into add territory, but the contact quality and plate discipline are trending in the right direction.

Colin Holderman (RP, CLE) — 5% Owned

The ERA looks ugly at 5.45, but the peripherals tell a different story: 0.98 FIP, 31.2% K rate, and 13.64 K/9 over the past week. That's a massive ERA-FIP gap suggesting bad luck on balls in play. Monitor for regression toward the FIP — if it happens, he's a sneaky pickup in Cleveland's bullpen.

José Tena (2B/3B, WSH) — 0% Owned

Tena is a ghost in terms of ownership but he's putting up a .474 wOBA with a .385 average and a strikeout rate that's plummeted from 25.0% over 30 days to just 6.2% in the last week. The 18.8% walk rate adds to the profile. The exit velocity at 89.5 mph and 66.7% hard-hit rate are the concerns — this could be a BABIP-fueled mirage. Watch for the batted ball data to catch up before spending a roster spot.

Hunter Feduccia (C, TB) — 0% Owned

Catcher is a wasteland, which makes Feduccia's 101.9 mph exit velocity and 75.0% hard-hit rate intriguing despite the modest .273 average. The wOBA has climbed from .241 over 30 days to .334, and his strikeout rate has dropped from 27.5% to 16.7%. If you're streaming catchers, keep this name on your board.

Tristan Peters (OF, CWS) — 3% Owned

Peters is hitting .385 with a .420 wOBA and 126 wRC+ over 27 plate appearances in the last week. The strikeout rate is low at 14.8%, and the playing time is consistent. The 44.4% hard-hit rate is a red flag — this might be a contact-over-quality hot streak rather than a sustainable power surge. The 1 HR is nice but this profile leans more batting average than impact.

Dominic Canzone (OF, SEA) — 16% Owned

Canzone's .420 wOBA is powered by 2 HR despite a .267 average, meaning the damage is concentrated in extra-base hits. The 11.8% walk rate is steady. Ownership has actually dipped 1% — the market is sleeping on this. Worth a speculative add in deeper leagues.

Donovan Walton (2B/3B, LAA) — 1% Owned

Walton's 25.0% walk rate over the last week is eye-popping, up from 6.2% over 30 days. The 83.3% hard-hit rate and 96.1 mph exit velocity back a .438 wOBA. No homers yet, but the quality of contact and discipline spike make him a deep-league watch.

Blaze Alexander (2B/3B/SS/OF, BAL) — 13% Owned

Alexander provides multi-position eligibility and is hitting .381 with a .396 wOBA over 23 plate appearances. The 77.8% hard-hit rate and 95.2 mph exit velocity show solid contact quality. Ownership has cooled by 2%, which seems wrong given the steady production and everyday role. The positional versatility alone makes him a useful roster piece.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific signals triggered today. With no pitching matchup data flagged, your best short-term play is to grab Kyle Karros as a bat stream at Coors if he's facing a favorable arm — his 100.0 mph exit velocity and .519 wOBA make him the highest-upside add available regardless. Check back tomorrow for pitcher streaming recommendations.

Ownership Movers

  • Kyle Karros (9%, +7% 7d) — The biggest mover of the day, and the move is completely justified. A .519 wOBA, 83.3% hard-hit rate, and 100.0 mph exit velocity aren't noise. This train is leaving the station.
  • Garrett Whitlock (19%, +3% 7d) — Climbing on the strength of that 50.0% K rate and scoreless week. The underlying FIP at -0.38 supports the hype, though the sample is small. The ownership move is ahead of the confirmation — justifiable in shallower leagues if you need ratios now.
  • Trevor Larnach (9%, +1% 7d) — Barely moving despite a .433 wOBA and 100.7 mph EV. The market hasn't caught on yet. If the discipline holds (18.2% walk rate), this ownership number should be much higher in a week.
  • Colin Holderman (5%, stable) — Nobody's biting yet, which is understandable with that 5.45 ERA. But the 0.98 FIP screams buy-low. The ownership flatline is an opportunity for those who trust peripherals over results.
  • José Tena (0%, stable) — Completely unowned despite a .474 wOBA and 6.2% strikeout rate. The soft exit velocity is a legitimate concern, but the approach improvements are notable. Deep-league stash at most right now.

Quick Hits

  • Hunter Feduccia's 101.9 mph exit velocity leads all players on today's report — higher than Karros (100.0), Larnach (100.7 notwithstanding the rounding), and everyone on the watch list. Catcher-eligible hard contact is rare and valuable.
  • Garrett Whitlock's 50.0% K rate is nearly double his 30-day mark of 26.7%. That kind of swing is usually a pitch mix change or a mechanical tweak — worth digging into his recent game logs to see if it's sustainable.
  • José Tena cut his strikeout rate from 25.0% to 6.2% in one week while walking 18.8% of the time. That K/BB profile, if it holds even partially, is elite plate discipline.
  • Donovan Walton quadrupled his walk rate (6.2% to 25.0%) while maintaining an 83.3% hard-hit rate — he's not sacrificing contact quality for patience. That's the rarest combination in these reports.
  • Three players on today's report carry multi-position eligibility: Tena (2B/3B), Walton (2B/3B), and Alexander (2B/3B/SS/OF). In shallow leagues where roster flexibility matters, Alexander's four-position eligibility at 13% ownership is the best value play of the group.
