Jake Mangum is slashing .350 with a .454 wOBA over the past week while striking out just 4.3% of the time — down from 13.3% over the prior 30 days — and he's still sitting at 14% ownership. That's the clearest buy signal on today's board. If you need outfield help, stop reading and go make the move before Pittsburgh's lineup locks.

Today's Top Adds

Jake Mangum (OF, PIT) — 14% Owned

The strikeout rate collapse is the headline here: 4.3% over the last seven days against 13.3% over 30 days. That kind of contact quality, paired with a .454 wOBA and 91.3 mph exit velocity across 23 plate appearances, signals a hitter who's locked in mechanically, not just getting lucky. Ownership has surged 8% in the past week, which means the window is narrowing fast. Mangum's hard-hit rate of 45.0% won't blow you away, but the bat-to-ball skills and consistent playing time make him a reliable lineup plug right now.

Carson Benge (OF, NYM) — 53% Owned

Benge is already majority-owned in most formats, but if you're in a league where he's still available, this is your last call. A .451 wOBA over the past week versus .342 over 30 days tells you the power is arriving — 93.8 mph exit velocity, 66.7% hard-hit rate, and a 20.0% walk rate over the last seven days that's more than doubled his 30-day mark of 8.9%. He's getting 30 plate appearances per week in the Mets lineup. The strikeout rate has held steady at 20.0%, so the discipline improvement is real, not a byproduct of fewer swings. He's a top add in any remaining league where he's free.

Watch List

Andruw Monasterio (1B/2B/3B/SS, BOS) — 0% Owned

The best hidden signal on the board. A .513 wOBA over the past week against a .289 30-day mark, with 2 HR and a 15.0% strikeout rate that's dropped from 19.6%. He's got 20 PA in the last seven days and the multi-position eligibility is gold. The 93.9 mph exit velocity and 58.4% hard-hit rate support the production. If he keeps this up through the weekend, he moves to "Add Now."

Ty France (1B, SD) — 1% Owned

France's 7-day line is absurd: .500 AVG, .511 wOBA, 104.6 mph exit velocity, and a 100.0% hard-hit rate. The strikeout rate has plummeted from 20.7% to 6.2%. The sample is small enough to warrant caution, but the exit velocity number is elite and the contact profile has flipped entirely. Worth a speculative add in deeper leagues — in shallow ones, monitor through the week.

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

Grissom's been a roster casualty in most leagues, but a .438 wOBA with a .412 average, 96.6 mph exit velocity, and a strikeout rate declining from 24.1% to 21.1% suggests something is clicking again. The 50.0% hard-hit rate is decent, not dominant. The multi-position eligibility keeps him relevant. Watch for sustained playing time before committing a roster spot.

Jake Cronenworth (1B/2B/SS, SD) — 6% Owned

Cronenworth's strikeout rate has dropped sharply from 27.1% to 20.8% over the past week, and his wOBA has climbed from .332 to .355. A 66.7% hard-hit rate and 91.4 mph exit velocity across 24 PA round out a profile that's trending toward fantasy relevance again. The positional flexibility makes him a useful stash.

Drew Cavanaugh (C, SF) — 0% Owned

A 99.3 mph exit velocity and 75.0% hard-hit rate from a catcher at 0% ownership is intriguing. The .338 wOBA is modest but up significantly from .260 over 30 days, and the 25.0% walk rate over the last week shows elite patience. Catcher is a wasteland — if the playing time holds, Cavanaugh could be a league-winner at the position.

Brandyn Garcia (RP, AZ) — 2% Owned

A 71.4% strikeout rate over the past seven days with a -1.25 FIP and a 0.00 ERA. Those are video-game numbers in a small relief sample. He's striking out nearly everyone he faces — 19.57 K/9. If Arizona moves him into higher-leverage situations, he becomes an instant add in saves+holds formats.

Erik Miller (RP, SF) — 1% Owned

Miller's posted a 0.00 ERA with a 0.07 FIP and a 41.7% strikeout rate over the last week. The 13.64 K/9 is dominant. Still an early signal — the FIP almost can't get lower — but worth monitoring for a potential closer pathway in San Francisco.

Adrian Morejon (RP, SD) — 16% Owned

Morejon's 1.85 FIP and 26.7% K rate support a solid if unspectacular relief profile. The 2.25 ERA over the past week is sustainable given the underlying numbers. He's the most owned reliever on this list for a reason — steady ratios contributor.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific pitcher signals emerged from today's data. On position player streams, Andruw Monasterio at 0% ownership is the closest thing to a free stream — plug him into a utility spot this week and ride the .513 wOBA until the market catches up. His 1B/2B/3B/SS eligibility means he fits any lineup construction, and Boston's schedule this week should give him consistent at-bats.

Ownership Movers

  • Jake Mangum (14%, +8% 7d): The biggest mover on the board, and fully justified. The strikeout rate collapse from 13.3% to 4.3% is the kind of underlying shift that drives sustained production, not just a hot week. The ownership surge should continue.
  • Carson Benge (53%, +6% 7d): Already past the tipping point in most leagues. The 6% climb is warranted — the walk rate jump from 8.9% to 20.0% shows a genuine approach change, not just BABIP luck. Hold confidently.
  • Jake Cronenworth (6%, +1% 7d): A slow creep that reflects the market's uncertainty. The data says the strikeout improvement is real. If you're in a deep league and need middle-infield help, the 6% ownership is a gift.
  • Drew Cavanaugh (0%, +0% 7d): No movement yet, which means you have time. The 99.3 mph EV from a catcher is rare. The market hasn't noticed — that's your edge.
  • Vaughn Grissom (1%, stable): Dead roster ownership. The .438 wOBA says the talent is still in there. Low-risk flier if you have the bench space.

Quick Hits

  • Ty France's 104.6 mph exit velocity over the past week is the highest on today's entire board — by a wide margin. The 100.0% hard-hit rate is small-sample noise, but the exit velo doesn't lie. At 1% ownership, there's zero downside risk.
  • Brandyn Garcia's 71.4% strikeout rate is nearly 28 points higher than his 30-day mark of 43.8%. Even the 30-day number is elite for a reliever. This arm has swing-and-miss stuff that could translate into saves if the opportunity arises.
  • Drew Cavanaugh's 75.0% hard-hit rate at 99.3 mph EV makes him arguably the most interesting catcher in the waiver pool. The position is so barren that even a .338 wOBA would rank near the top at the position in most leagues.
  • Andruw Monasterio quietly has 2 HR in the past week with a .312 average and a 15.0% strikeout rate. The power-contact combination at 0% ownership is the definition of market inefficiency.
  • San Diego has three players on today's report — Cronenworth, France, and Morejon — all flashing improving underlying numbers. The Padres' lineup may be waking up collectively, which makes all three slightly more valuable than their individual signals suggest.
