Brandon Marsh is barreling everything in sight and walking at an elite 19.4% clip over the past week — if he's still on your wire at 54% ownership, this is the last morning you'll be able to say that.

Today's Top Adds

Brandon Marsh (OF, PHI) — Add Now

Marsh's seven-day wOBA has surged to .312 against a sleepy .237 over the past 30 days, and the underlying quality is real: 100.0% hard-hit rate and a 99.8 mph average exit velocity across 31 plate appearances. The walk rate explosion — 19.4% over the last week versus 8.8% over 30 days — signals a hitter who's locked in at the plate, not just getting lucky. The .208 batting average looks modest until you factor in the barrel quality and plate discipline; this is a textbook case of a stat line about to correct upward violently. At 54% rostered and actually ticking down, managers are sleeping on the process improvement. Grab him before the results catch up to the contact quality.

Watch List

Brent Headrick (RP, NYY) — Watch

A 50.0% strikeout rate over the past seven days is absurd regardless of role, up from an already-strong 41.1% over 30 days. The 2.80 FIP and 19.09 K/9 suggest this isn't just sequencing luck — Headrick is missing bats at an elite rate. At 17% owned, he's the closest Watch List name to becoming an Add Now if the Yankees keep running him out in high-leverage spots.

Edgardo Henriquez (RP, LAD) — Watch

A 0.00 ERA and 1.58 FIP over five appearances with a 33.3% K rate and 10.91 K/9 — that's the Dodgers bullpen depth quietly producing elite ratios. Only 1% owned. The sample is tiny, but the FIP says the zeros aren't a mirage.

Andrés Chaparro (1B, WSH) — Watch

Chaparro is hitting .333 with a .404 wOBA, a 100.0% hard-hit rate, and 97.5 mph average exit velocity over the past week. At 1% ownership, there's zero risk in monitoring whether Washington keeps him in the lineup. The power hasn't shown up in homers yet, but the exit velocity profile says it's coming.

Jonny DeLuca (OF, TB) — Watch

A .533 wOBA over the past seven days versus .367 over 30 — DeLuca is scorching. The .467 average with a homer in an early five-game sample is noisy, but the 30-day baseline was already solid. Tampa's outfield picture makes playing time the key variable to track.

Sean Newcomb (SP/RP, CWS) — Watch

Newcomb's K rate has jumped to 27.3% from 17.0% over 30 days, and a 2.10 FIP backs up the improvement. The dual eligibility adds roster flexibility. Chicago's rotation is a wasteland, which means opportunity — whether that translates to fantasy value depends on whether the strikeout gains are mechanical or matchup-driven.

Richie Palacios (2B/OF, TB) — Watch

This is the most complete signal profile on today's Watch List. Palacios is posting a .478 wOBA with a .429 average, a 100.0% hard-hit rate, 96.2 mph exit velocity, and genuine plate discipline improvement — strikeout rate down to 20.0% from 24.6%, walk rate up to 25.0% from 16.4%. The 20 plate appearances in seven days confirm consistent playing time. At 1% owned, he's a free pickup in deeper formats right now.

Joey Ortiz (3B/SS, MIL) — Watch

Ortiz's .471 wOBA and 30.0% walk rate over the past week are eye-catching, up from an already-strong .447 wOBA and 14.0% walk rate over 30 days. The .429 average in a small window needs more data to trust, but the multi-position eligibility makes him a valuable bench stash at 2% owned.

Garrett Mitchell (OF, MIL) — Watch

The batting average is ugly — .174 over seven days — but Mitchell is hitting the ball harder than anyone on this list at 105.3 mph average exit velocity with a 100.0% hard-hit rate. The strikeout rate is declining (25.0% vs 27.7%) and walk rate is climbing (17.9% vs 14.9%). This is a classic BABIP rebound candidate with 28 plate appearances confirming he's in the lineup daily. At 11% and cooling in ownership, the market is wrong if the exit velocity holds.

Eduardo Valencia (C/1B, DET) — Watch

Catcher-eligible with a .470 wOBA, 102.3 mph exit velocity, 100.0% hard-hit rate, and a homer in the past week. The catcher wasteland makes any signal at the position worth attention. At 4% owned and dropping, this is a zero-cost lottery ticket at fantasy's thinnest position.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific signals triggered today — the algorithm didn't flag any matchup-driven two-start pitchers or favorable platoon situations for short-term adds. Check back tomorrow as the weekend slate shapes up.

Ownership Movers

Ownership movement across the board was remarkably flat this cycle. Headrick is the only player on the radar with meaningful ownership at 17%, and even his +1% week-over-week gain barely qualifies as movement. The rest of today's names — Henriquez, Chaparro, DeLuca, Newcomb — are all sitting at 1-2% with flat trajectories. That's the opportunity: the data is moving before the rosters are. The biggest justified add based on underlying metrics is Palacios, whose combination of contact quality, discipline improvement, and consistent playing time at 1% ownership represents a genuine market inefficiency. Meanwhile, Marsh at 54% and cooling is the inverse case — ownership is drifting down while the batted-ball data says it should be spiking.

Quick Hits

  • Mitchell's 105.3 mph average exit velocity is the highest on today's entire report — and yet he's hitting .174. That disconnect won't last. He's a prime buy-low in trade talks or a free add in leagues where someone just dropped him.
  • Headrick's 19.09 K/9 over the past seven days is genuinely historic-pace production. Even regressing heavily, a reliever with a 2.80 FIP and a 50.0% strikeout rate belongs rostered in any format that counts ratios.
  • Palacios triggered six separate signals — rising wOBA, declining K rate, rising walk rate, hard-hit quality, exit velocity, strong wOBA, and consistent playing time. That's the densest signal cluster on today's board, yet he sits at 1% owned. Deep league managers, this is your guy.
  • Marsh's walk rate more than doubled — 19.4% over seven days versus 8.8% over 30 days. When a hitter simultaneously improves discipline and exit velocity, the offensive breakout tends to sustain.
  • Valencia's catcher eligibility combined with 102.3 mph exit velocity makes him the most intriguing positional play on the wire. The bar for rosterable catching is underground — a .470 wOBA clears it by a mile if the playing time holds.
