Today's Top Adds
Caleb Durbin (2B/3B, BOS) is the clearest add on the board this morning, and if you're in a league where he's still available, the window is closing fast. Durbin's 7-day wOBA sits at .438 against a 30-day mark of .377 — already strong and still climbing. What makes this more than a hot streak: his strikeout rate has been cut nearly in half, dropping from 12.6% over 30 days to just 6.5% over the past week across 31 plate appearances. A .423 batting average with a homer over five games is eye-catching, but the contact quality and plate discipline gains are what make this sustainable. At 59% ownership and surging 6 points in the last seven days, he'll be gone in competitive leagues by the weekend.
Watch List
Ben Joyce (RP, LAA)
Joyce is putting up video-game numbers over his last five appearances: a 55.6% strikeout rate, a -0.23 FIP, and a spotless 0.00 ERA with 15 K/9. Ownership has surged 9 points to 15%, which tells you sharper leagues are already moving. The sample is tiny, but that K-rate jump from 42.1% to 55.6% in seven days suggests he's figured something out mechanically. Monitor for one more strong outing, then pounce.
Mason Montgomery (SP/RP, PIT)
A 62.5% strikeout rate over his last five appearances with a -1.25 FIP is elite-level swing-and-miss stuff. Montgomery's ownership is only 13% but rising fast at +4% in the last week. The dual SP/RP eligibility adds roster flexibility. This is an early signal — if the K-rate holds anywhere near this level, he becomes a must-add quickly.
Luis Torrens (C, NYM)
Torrens is absolutely scorching with a .704 wOBA over the past seven days — up from an already-strong .463 over 30 days. Three homers and a .455 average in five games with a declining strikeout rate (8.3% vs. 11.1%) make this a legitimate breakout signal at the thinnest position in fantasy. At just 2% ownership, he's a free add in virtually every format. Catcher production this hot demands attention even in small samples.
Jack Dreyer (SP/RP, LAD)
Dreyer's strikeout rate has jumped from 36.4% to 50.0% over the past week with a solid 0.88 FIP. The Dodgers' pitching development machine may have another gem brewing. At 4% ownership, there's zero risk in stashing him.
Eduard Bazardo (RP, SEA)
Bazardo quietly posted a 0.00 ERA and 9 K/9 over his last five appearances, with his strikeout rate climbing from 19.3% to 26.7%. The 2.60 FIP suggests the results are real. At 8% ownership, he's a speculative add in deeper leagues chasing ratios and strikeouts from the bullpen.
Ryan Vilade (1B/2B/OF, TB)
The most explosive stat line on today's board: a .712 wOBA, .545 batting average, and two homers over five games with multi-position eligibility. Vilade's strikeout rate has cratered from 28.6% to 15.4% while his walk rate has jumped to 15.4%. At 0% ownership, he's completely unowned everywhere. This is the kind of lottery ticket that costs nothing and could pay off significantly if the approach change sticks.
Michael Massey (2B/OF, KC)
Massey is hitting .500 with two homers and a .577 wOBA over 20 plate appearances this week. His strikeout rate dropped from 20.8% to 15.0% while his walk rate more than tripled from 3.1% to 10.0%. That's a meaningful shift in plate discipline, not just BABIP luck. Consistent playing time makes this actionable at 3% ownership, though I want one more week before upgrading him to an Add Now.
Colt Keith (1B/2B/3B, DET)
Keith's .454 wOBA over the past week represents a steady climb from his .394 30-day mark. The triple-position eligibility is a roster construction dream, and his underlying approach metrics — 12.5% K-rate, 12.5% walk rate — show genuine discipline at the plate. At 9% ownership, he's still widely available despite a .357 average and a homer in his last five games.
Bryce Eldridge (1B, SF)
Eldridge's wOBA has spiked from .282 to .415 over the past seven days, powered by two homers and 21 plate appearances of consistent playing time. The strikeout rate is still elevated at 28.6%, but it's trending down from 30.8%, and the walk rate has ticked up to 14.3%. At 14% ownership, the talent has always been obvious — now the production is starting to match. The raw power makes him worth a speculative roster spot.
Stream of the Day
No streaming-specific signals fired today — the algorithm didn't flag any matchup-based one-start pitching plays for the coming days. If you need a spot start, keep an eye on Mason Montgomery if he draws a favorable opponent this week, given that monstrous 62.5% K-rate. Check back tomorrow for updated streaming recommendations.
Ownership Movers
- Ben Joyce (+9% to 15%) — Fully justified. A -0.23 FIP and 55.6% K-rate represent elite relief pitching. The velocity has always been there; now the results match. This train is leaving the station.
- Caleb Durbin (+6% to 59%) — The biggest mover among high-owned players. Every point of ownership gain is deserved given the .438 wOBA and cratering K-rate. He's approaching must-roster territory in all formats.
- Mason Montgomery (+4% to 13%) — Smart money is moving early. A -1.25 FIP doesn't stay at 13% ownership for long. The rise is warranted, though the early sample demands patience.
- Luis Torrens (+1% to 2%) — The market hasn't caught up to a .704 wOBA. This is the kind of disconnect between production and ownership that creates league-winning pickups at catcher.
- Jack Dreyer (4%, stable) — Ownership hasn't budged yet despite a 50.0% K-rate jump. The Dodgers affiliation alone should drive more adds. Early movers will be rewarded if the role expands.
Quick Hits
- Ryan Vilade's .712 wOBA is the highest 7-day mark on today's board, edging out Luis Torrens's .704 — and he's rostered in literally 0% of leagues. That's free production sitting on your waiver wire.
- Michael Massey's walk rate jumped from 3.1% to 10.0% in seven days. That's not a small-sample fluke — it's a different hitter at the plate. The approach change paired with a .577 wOBA makes him one of the most interesting deep-league adds right now.
- Two pitchers on today's board posted negative FIPs over the past week: Ben Joyce at -0.23 and Mason Montgomery at -1.25. Both are sub-15% owned. Find them, grab them.
- Caleb Durbin's 6.5% strikeout rate this week is the lowest among all hitters flagged today. In an era where 20%+ is the norm, that kind of contact ability paired with power (.438 wOBA) is rare.
- Bryce Eldridge's wOBA jumped 133 points week-over-week (from .282 to .415). The 21 plate appearances confirm he's getting everyday run in San Francisco — the playing time question that held back his value may finally be answered.
