Willi Castro is slugging his way through a monster week with a .425 wOBA and a strikeout rate that's been slashed nearly in half, and at 31% ownership he's still sitting on your waiver wire — go get him before the weekend.

Today's Top Adds

Willi Castro (1B/2B/3B/SS/OF, COL) — 31% Owned

Castro's seven-day wOBA of .425 against a .277 mark over the past 30 days is the kind of surge that demands immediate action. His strikeout rate has cratered from 35.4% to 23.8%, he's hitting .300 with 2 home runs, and he's barreling the ball at a 50.0% hard-hit rate. The multi-position eligibility is the cherry on top — this is a lineup-flexible bat producing elite contact quality with 21 plate appearances confirming consistent playing time. The ownership needle has barely moved (+1% over 7 days), which means you still have a window.

Alec Bohm (1B/3B, PHI) — 38% Owned

Bohm is doing what Bohm does when he's locked in: punishing the ball. A 102.3 mph average exit velocity over the past week with a 100.0% hard-hit quality rate is elite-tier contact. His wOBA has jumped from .290 over 30 days to .364 in the last seven, he's batting .333, and he's added a homer. Ownership has actually ticked down 2% — managers are sleeping. The exit velocity alone tells you the results are sustainable. Add him now in any format.

Jake Burger (1B, TEX) — 22% Owned

Burger's surface numbers (.227 AVG, .267 wOBA) don't scream pickup, but the process metrics do. His strikeout rate is down from 26.2% to 22.7%, his hard-hit rate sits at 60.0%, and his exit velocity of 94.0 mph supports better outcomes ahead. With 22 plate appearances in the last week, the playing time is locked in. At 22% ownership and falling (-2%), this is a buy-low on a power bat whose batted-ball data says regression to the upside is coming.

Mickey Moniak (OF, COL) — 38% Owned

A 6.2% strikeout rate over the past seven days. Read that again. Moniak has gone from a 24.4% K-rate over 30 days to near-contact perfection, hitting .312 with a homer and a .345 wOBA. The 50.0% hard-hit quality and 90.4 mph exit velocity suggest this isn't just weak-contact luck — he's making real swings on real pitches. Playing in Coors doesn't hurt either. Ownership is cooling off (-3%), which makes zero sense given the underlying approach improvements.

Royce Lewis (1B/3B, MIN) — 32% Owned

Lewis's .154 average looks ugly until you dig into the process. His strikeout rate is down to 12.5% from 21.6%. His walk rate has climbed to 12.5%. His exit velocity sits at a blistering 100.9 mph with a 75.0% hard-hit quality rate. This is a violent bat making elite contact and taking quality at-bats — the results just haven't caught up. Lewis is the classic buy-the-process-not-the-batting-average add. At 32% ownership and dropping, the market is wrong.

Watch List

Brandyn Garcia (RP, AZ) — 3% Owned

A 0.00 ERA with a 1.10 FIP and 33.3% strikeout rate over his recent appearances. The sample is still early, but a FIP that low combined with that whiff rate in a relief role is worth monitoring closely. If he picks up a hold or save opportunity, he becomes a must-add overnight.

Andrés Chaparro (1B, WSH) — 1% Owned

The numbers are absurd: .653 wOBA, .417 average, 3 home runs, a 7.1% strikeout rate (down from 29.4%), and a 14.3% walk rate over the past week. The 62.6 mph exit velocity is a massive red flag that suggests these results are heavily BABIP-driven. Watch for the exit velocity to normalize upward before committing a roster spot — if the EV catches up to the production, he's a smash add.

Jared Triolo (1B/2B/3B/SS, PIT) — 1% Owned

A .526 wOBA and .500 batting average with a 20.0% walk rate is eye-catching from a multi-position-eligible infielder. Exit velocity at 91.1 mph with 50.0% hard-hit quality gives this some floor. Still an early signal at 1% ownership — give it another week of playing time confirmation.

Nick Fortes (C, TB) — 1% Owned

Catcher is a wasteland, so a .485 wOBA with a .375 average and 2 home runs from a 1%-owned backstop deserves your attention. If you're streaming catchers or desperate at the position, Fortes could be an early mover. Wait for one more series to confirm the playing time.

Hogan Harris (RP, ATH) — 7% Owned

A 1.25 FIP, a 0.00 ERA, and a dominant 36.4% strikeout rate translating to 13.33 K/9. Harris is generating elite swings and misses out of the Athletics' bullpen. The ownership is creeping — at 7% he could move fast if Oakland starts using him in higher-leverage spots.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific signals fired today — the algorithm didn't flag any starters with matchup-driven upside worth a one-week roster spot. If you're hunting for short-term help, Hogan Harris and his 13.33 K/9 in relief could provide ratio and strikeout help without the innings risk. Otherwise, check back tomorrow for weekend streaming picks.

Ownership Movers

  • Willi Castro (31%, +1%): The most stable riser of the group, and the move is completely justified. A .425 wOBA with declining strikeouts and consistent at-bats — this ownership should be double where it is.
  • Brandyn Garcia (3%, +1%): Slight uptick driven by a 0.00 ERA and elite peripherals. The 1.10 FIP validates the early interest, but the role needs to solidify before he moves meaningfully.
  • Andrés Chaparro (1%, stable): The production is screaming but the exit velocity whispers caution. The market is correctly skeptical for now.
  • Jared Triolo (1%, stable): Ghost-level ownership despite a .526 wOBA and quad-position eligibility. Pittsburgh's lineup inconsistency is likely suppressing interest.
  • Nick Fortes (1%, stable): Two homers from a catcher nobody owns. If you play in a two-catcher league, he should already be on your roster.

Quick Hits

  • Royce Lewis's 100.9 mph exit velocity paired with a 75.0% hard-hit quality rate is elite territory — his .154 batting average is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. Buy now.
  • Mickey Moniak's 6.2% strikeout rate over the past seven days represents a 74.9% reduction from his 30-day mark of 24.4%. That's not a blip — that's an approach overhaul.
  • Alec Bohm posted a 100.0% hard-hit quality rate this week. Every ball he put in play was struck with authority. The .333 average is the floor, not the ceiling, with that kind of contact quality.
  • Hogan Harris is striking out 36.4% of batters faced with a 1.25 FIP — the best peripherals of any reliever on today's report, and he's available in 93% of leagues.
  • Andrés Chaparro's .653 wOBA is the highest seven-day mark on the board, but his 62.6 mph average exit velocity is the lowest. That disconnect is unsustainable in one direction — the question is which way it breaks.
