Daily Waiver Report — Friday, July 10, 2026
Garrett Mitchell is hitting .370 with a .461 wOBA and 107.4 mph exit velocity over the last seven days, and at just 20% ownership, you're still ahead of most of your league — but that 15-point ownership surge tells you the window is closing fast. If he's available, stop reading and go add him.
Today's Top Adds
Garrett Mitchell (OF, MIL) — 20% rostered
Every signal is firing here. Mitchell posted a .461 wOBA over the past week against a .423 mark over 30 days, meaning the hot stretch is accelerating an already-strong month. His exit velocity sits at a scorching 107.4 mph with a 100% hard-hit rate in that span. The strikeout rate ticked down to 26.7% while the walk rate climbed to 10.0% from 6.8% — this isn't just a guy getting lucky on batted balls, it's an approach improvement. He's logged 30 plate appearances over the last seven days, so the playing time is locked in. With ownership surging 15 points this week, he's the top priority add across all formats.
Jackson Holliday (2B/SS, BAL) — 24% rostered
The pedigree has always been there; now the plate discipline is catching up. Holliday slashed his strikeout rate from 24.6% over 30 days down to a minuscule 7.1% in the last week while walking at a 21.4% clip. The result: a .364 average and .425 wOBA with zero homers, meaning the production is contact-and-OBP driven rather than power-reliant. That's sustainable. His ownership actually cooled 3 points this week, which is baffling given these numbers — take advantage of managers who gave up too early.
Spencer Steer (1B/2B/OF, CIN) — 34% rostered
Steer's 30-day wOBA sat at an ugly .258, which explains the 5-point ownership dip. But the seven-day surge to .420 — fueled by a .333 average, a homer, and a K-rate that's been cut in half from 31.0% to 14.3% — suggests the slump is breaking. His walk rate jumped to 14.3%, exit velocity registered 97.6 mph with a 50% hard-hit rate, and he logged 21 PA to confirm he's in the everyday mix. The multi-position eligibility makes him especially valuable. Buy the breakout from the slump at a discount.
Watch List
Coby Mayo (1B/3B, BAL) — 2% rostered
A .613 wOBA in any sample demands attention. Mayo slashed his strikeout rate from 35.7% to 14.3% while posting a .400 average, a homer, and 98.6 mph exit velocity with a 66.7% hard-hit rate. This is still an early signal at 5 games, but the K-rate improvement is massive — if it holds through another week of starts, he becomes a priority add.
Romy Gonzalez (1B/2B, BOS) — 2% rostered
A .521 wOBA over the past week, up from .379 over 30 days, with a .400 average and a homer. The walk rate ticked up to 5.9%. Still an early signal, and the playing time picture in Boston needs monitoring — look for 25+ PA next week to confirm a path to consistent at-bats.
Tyler Alexander (SP/RP, TEX) — 4% rostered
Alexander's strikeout rate spiked to 45.5% over the last seven days against a 26.8% 30-day mark, and his FIP sits at a pristine 0.51. That K-rate is obviously unsustainable, but even regression to something in the low-30s would make him a viable arm. Track his next start closely.
Rhys Hoskins (1B, CLE) — 1% rostered
The .167 average looks ugly, but two homers and a .422 wOBA tell a different story — Hoskins is selling out for power and drawing walks at a 25.0% rate. The K-rate (31.2%) is still high but down from 36.5%. This is a three-true-outcomes profile; if you need homers and can absorb the average hit, keep watching.
Nick Loftin (2B/3B/OF, KC) — 1% rostered
Loftin has a .481 wOBA, a .381 average, and just a 12.0% strikeout rate over 25 PA. The multi-position eligibility adds flexibility. At 1% rostered, there's zero cost to stashing him if you have a bench spot.
Cooper Pratt (SS, MIL) — 3% rostered
A 6.9% strikeout rate and a 17.2% walk rate over 29 PA is elite plate discipline for any hitter, let alone a young shortstop. The .392 wOBA and .318 average are steady rather than spectacular, but the discipline floor is intriguing. He needs to add power to be a must-add.
Antonio Senzatela (SP/RP, COL) — 11% rostered
Senzatela's K-rate jumped to 26.7% from 17.0% with a 1.43 FIP over the last week. Even being in Colorado, that FIP commands attention. Early signal — needs another strong outing to confirm.
Stream of the Day
No streaming-specific signals emerged from today's data. With the All-Star break approaching, the matchup landscape is muddled. If you need an arm, Tyler Alexander's 45.5% K-rate and 0.51 FIP make him the closest thing to a streaming play on the board — just understand you're riding a small-sample heater. Check back tomorrow for updated streaming picks.
Ownership Movers
- Garrett Mitchell (20%, +15% 7d): The biggest mover of the week, and every bit of it is justified. A .461 wOBA with 107.4 mph exit velocity and improving plate discipline is the full package. This train has left the station — if you're not on it, sprint.
- Romy Gonzalez (2%, +1% 7d): Barely a blip on the ownership radar despite a .521 wOBA. The move is justified by the production but limited by playing-time uncertainty. Worth a speculative add in deeper formats.
- Coby Mayo (2%, +0% 7d): Flat ownership despite a .613 wOBA tells you the market hasn't caught on yet. The early signal designation is fair — but the strikeout-rate improvement from 35.7% to 14.3% is the kind of process change that precedes a breakout.
- Rhys Hoskins (1%, stable): Virtually unowned, and the .167 average explains why. But two homers and a .422 wOBA in five games suggest the power is waking up. Ownership stagnation here could be your opportunity in AL-only or deep mixed leagues.
Quick Hits
- Best plate discipline of the day: Jackson Holliday's 7.1% strikeout rate paired with a 21.4% walk rate is elite-tier contact management. That's a completely different hitter than the one who was striking out nearly 25% of the time over the previous month.
- Hardest contact: Garrett Mitchell's 107.4 mph exit velocity with a 100% hard-hit rate is a neon sign. Even if the batting average regresses, that kind of quality contact sustains power production.
- Spencer Steer's K-rate collapse — from 31.0% to 14.3% — is the most dramatic strikeout improvement among today's top adds. Slump-busting often starts with approach changes, and cutting your whiffs in half qualifies.
- Sneakiest stash: Nick Loftin at 1% ownership with a .481 wOBA, 12.0% K-rate, and three-position eligibility is a zero-risk hold. If Kansas City keeps running him out there for 25+ PA per week, he'll be a top add within two weeks.
- FIP darling: Tyler Alexander's 0.51 FIP won't last, but a 45.5% strikeout rate — even in a tiny window — suggests a pitch-mix or velocity change worth investigating before your leaguemates notice.
