Today's Top Adds

Bryce Eldridge is swinging a wrecking ball and nobody's picking him up. The Giants' first baseman posted a 107.0 mph exit velocity over the past week with a 100.0% hard-hit quality rate — elite contact that his .150 batting average hasn't caught up to yet. His walk rate has surged to 20.0% over seven days compared to 12.5% over the past month, signaling a patient approach that's generating quality at-bats even when the hits aren't falling. At 22% ownership with zero movement in the last week, this is a textbook buy-low window. The underlying quality is screaming; the surface stats are whispering. Grab him before the batting average corrects upward and ownership doubles overnight.

Xander Bogaerts is quietly getting his bat back in order, and at 33% ownership — actually dropping 2% over the past week — managers are walking away right when they should be leaning in. The headline: his strikeout rate has cratered from 17.6% over 30 days to just 6.9% in the last seven. He's coupling that with a 17.2% walk rate (up from 13.7%) across 29 plate appearances. The power hasn't shown up yet (zero homers, .167 AVG), but a hitter making this much contact with this kind of plate discipline doesn't stay cold for long. The 97.7 mph exit velocity confirms he's not just slapping the ball around. If Bogaerts is sitting on your waiver wire, someone in your league is making a mistake — make sure it's not you.

Watch List

Yoendrys Gómez (SP/RP, MIN) has spiked his strikeout rate to 30.8% over the past week, up dramatically from 19.5% over 30 days. His 2.43 FIP backs up the swing-and-miss surge. At 31% ownership, he's not a secret, but another week of this and he becomes a must-add in all formats.

Austin Hedges (C, CLE) is sitting at 0% ownership with a .473 wOBA over the last seven days. One homer, a .333 average, a 22.2% walk rate, and an 11.1% strikeout rate. This is an early signal — five games only — but in the wasteland that is fantasy catcher, a zero-percent-owned backstop putting up those numbers deserves a roster spot in two-catcher leagues immediately.

Trevor Larnach (OF, MIN) is slashing at a .412 average with a .463 wOBA over seven days, up from an already-strong .409 over 30 days. At 8% ownership, he's flying under the radar. The consistency across both timeframes makes this more compelling than a typical hot streak.

Juan Morillo (RP, AZ) hasn't allowed a run in the past week while posting a 27.3% strikeout rate and a sparkling 2.19 FIP. At 4% ownership, he's a speculative reliever add in leagues that value ratios and strikeouts from the bullpen.

Heriberto Hernández (OF, MIA) is putting together a complete week: .360 AVG, .405 wOBA, 98.1 mph exit velocity, and 66.7% hard-hit quality across 25 plate appearances. The playing time is there, and at 8% ownership, he's essentially free.

Anthony Seigler (2B/3B, BOS) has seen his wOBA jump from .324 over 30 days to .408 over seven, pairing a .312 average with a homer and an 11.8% strikeout rate. Multi-position eligibility adds extra value. Monitor for another week.

Alex Lange (RP, KC) posted a jaw-dropping 46.2% strikeout rate over the past week — up from 18.9% over 30 days — translating to an 18.0 K/9. The 6.00 ERA is the obvious red flag, but that K spike is violent enough to warrant attention. If the command tightens even slightly, the results will follow. Ownership has dropped 3% to 15%, so this is a contrarian play for managers who chase strikeouts.

Kyle Karros (3B, COL) is hitting .368 with a .428 wOBA, walking at a 20.0% clip while cutting his strikeout rate from 18.4% to 12.0%. The 93.5 mph exit velocity is modest and the Coors Field factor muddies the picture, but the plate discipline improvement is real. Ownership has actually fallen 10% to 19% — managers are bailing on him prematurely if this discipline holds.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific signals emerged from today's data — the algorithm didn't flag any spot starters or matchup-driven plays worth chasing. If you need an arm, Yoendrys Gómez is the closest thing to a streamer with upside: a 30.8% K rate and 2.43 FIP make him a viable option in any start this week. Check back tomorrow for updated streaming recommendations.

Ownership Movers

The ownership landscape is eerily quiet this morning. Yoendrys Gómez ticked up 1% to 31% — justified by the strikeout spike but surprisingly muted given a sub-2.50 FIP. Bryce Eldridge sits at 22% with zero movement despite elite exit velocity, which tells you managers are still chasing batting average and ignoring process. Austin Hedges at a flat 0% with a .473 wOBA is the most egregious market inefficiency on today's board. Trevor Larnach (8%, flat) and Juan Morillo (4%, flat) round out the unmoved — both deserving of more attention than they're getting. The theme today: the market is asleep on legitimate production. Be the manager who acts before ownership catches up.

Quick Hits

  • Bryce Eldridge's 100.0% hard-hit quality rate over seven days is the top mark on today's board. A .150 AVG with that kind of contact quality is a neon sign pointing to regression — in the right direction.
  • Xander Bogaerts cut his strikeout rate by more than 10 percentage points week-over-week (6.9% vs. 17.6%). That's one of the most dramatic discipline improvements you'll see in a seven-day window.
  • Alex Lange's 46.2% seven-day K rate is nearly 2.5x his 30-day mark of 18.9%. Whether that's a mechanical tweak or small-sample noise will determine if he's a league-winner or a mirage.
  • Austin Hedges has walked in 22.2% of his plate appearances over the past week — nearly triple his 8.3% 30-day rate. For a catcher at 0% ownership, that kind of on-base ability is free money.
  • Kyle Karros losing 10% ownership while posting a .428 wOBA and a 20.0% walk rate is one of the more puzzling drops of the week. The exit velocity (93.5 mph) is the only legitimate concern — everything else says hold or add.
