Bryce Eldridge is hitting .429 with a .484 wOBA over the last seven days, sits at just 18% ownership, and is the clear top add of the morning. The Giants' first baseman is mashing — 94.7 mph exit velocity, 62.5% hard-hit rate — and the underlying quality matches the surface stats. If you need a bat, this is the one. Below, the full breakdown of Wednesday's waiver landscape.
Today's Top Adds
Bryce Eldridge (1B, SF) — Add Now
Eldridge's seven-day wOBA of .484 towers over his .359 mark from the past 30 days, and this isn't a fluky BABIP binge. The hard-hit quality backs it up: 62.5% hard-hit rate, 94.7 mph average exit velocity, and 23 plate appearances across five games confirming consistent playing time. Ownership has climbed 4% in the last week and is accelerating. At 18%, the window is still open, but the trend line says it won't be for long. He's the priority add across all formats today.
Kody Clemens (1B, 2B, OF, MIN) — Add Now
Clemens is already 43% rostered, so this is less about discovery and more about confirmation: his underlying numbers say the roster percentage is justified and possibly still too low. His seven-day wOBA has jumped to .326 from .285 over 30 days, powered by a 66.7% hard-hit rate and 95.1 mph exit velocity — the highest EV on today's entire board. The walk rate surge from 7.1% to 12.5% over the last week signals improved plate discipline, not just luck. Two homers in five games with that kind of batted-ball data is sustainable production. The multi-position eligibility (1B/2B/OF) makes him a lineup construction dream. If he's sitting on your wire, grab him.
Watch List
Elias Díaz (C, TEX)
Zero percent owned, but a .379 wOBA over the past seven days — up sharply from .241 over 30 — paired with a 25.0% walk rate demands attention. The batting average (.222) and lack of power (0 HR) temper enthusiasm, but for a catcher-needy manager, monitor whether that plate discipline holds through the next week.
Edgardo Henriquez (RP, LAD)
A 50.0% strikeout rate over the last seven days, a -0.60 FIP, and a 16.67 K/9. Those are video-game numbers from the Dodgers' bullpen. At 1% owned, this is the kind of reliever who could be a league-winner if he gets high-leverage work. Early signal — five games — but the swing-and-miss is elite.
Andrew Kittredge (RP, BAL)
A clean 0.00 ERA over the past week with a 2.35 FIP. The K rate (16.7%) isn't eye-popping, but Kittredge is in Baltimore's bullpen mix, and the FIP says the results are real. Worth a speculative add in leagues that reward holds or saves+holds.
Paul Goldschmidt (1B, NYY)
Goldschmidt's seven-day wOBA of .411 is backed by two homers, a declining strikeout rate (14.3% vs 20.7% over 30 days), and a 52.2% hard-hit rate. At 5% owned, the name alone should carry more weight. If the bat speed is back, even a partial revival makes him a useful corner infielder down the stretch.
Troy Johnston (1B, OF, COL)
A .521 wOBA over the last seven days is enormous, even in Colorado. Johnston is hitting .429 with a declining K rate (17.6% from 18.5%) and a rising walk rate (11.8% from 9.3%). The exit velocity (90.3 mph) is modest, so the Coors factor may be doing heavy lifting. Proceed with caution, but the plate discipline trends are real.
Hao-Yu Lee (2B, 3B, DET)
The batting average (.211) doesn't jump off the page, but the batted-ball data does: 94.8 mph exit velocity and a 60.4% hard-hit rate with 22 PA in the last week. A 13.6% walk rate supports the quality-contact profile. This is a "the results are coming" signal — the process is there, and the outcomes should follow.
Cooper Pratt (SS, MIL)
Pratt's wOBA has nearly doubled — .419 over seven days versus .220 over 30. The K rate cratering from 21.6% to 5.9% is the eye-catcher. A .429 average with a homer in a small window, but if you need a shortstop lottery ticket, the swing-decision improvement is the kind of underlying change that sticks.
Brady Basso (SP, RP, ATH)
Basso's K rate has ticked up to 18.8% from 14.3% over 30 days, and his 2.35 FIP suggests he's been better than his surface numbers. At 0% owned, he's a deep-league stash only, but the Oakland pitcher could have streaming utility if the strikeout gains hold.
Stream of the Day
No streaming-specific signals fired today — the algorithm didn't flag any spot starters or matchup-driven plays worth chasing. If you're desperate for innings, Brady Basso's 2.35 FIP and rising K rate make him the closest thing to a streaming dart, but treat it as a speculative play, not a confident recommendation. Check back tomorrow for matchup-driven options.
Ownership Movers
Bryce Eldridge (18%, +4% 7d) — The only player on today's board with meaningful ownership acceleration, and the data fully supports the move. A .484 wOBA with premium exit velocity and hard-hit rates isn't a mirage. Expect this number to be north of 30% by the weekend.
Kody Clemens (43%, +0% 7d) — Stable ownership despite improving metrics. The market hasn't caught up to the seven-day surge in walk rate and hard-hit quality. He's already widely rostered, but if your leaguemates dropped him during a slump, this is the buy-low window closing.
Elias Díaz (0%, +0% 7d) — Nobody's biting yet, which makes sense given the tiny sample and lack of power. But a .379 wOBA from the catcher position is worth monitoring. The ownership number here tells you this is a pure speculation play — no downside to waiting another few days.
Edgardo Henriquez (1%) and Andrew Kittredge (9%) — Both relievers are producing elite ratios in small samples. Henriquez's 50% K rate is the flashier number; Kittredge's 2.35 FIP is the steadier one. Neither has seen ownership movement yet, leaving them as free pickups in most leagues.
Quick Hits
- Exit velocity leader: Kody Clemens tops today's board at 95.1 mph, edging out Bryce Eldridge (94.7) and Hao-Yu Lee (94.8). All three are producing hard contact at rates that suggest their production is built on a real foundation.
- Plate discipline spike: Elias Díaz's walk rate jumped from 7.9% to 25.0% over the last seven days. That's an extreme swing and almost certainly unsustainable at that level, but even a partial retention would meaningfully boost his OBP and wOBA going forward.
- Cooper Pratt's K-rate plunge — from 21.6% over 30 days to 5.9% over seven — is the single largest strikeout-rate improvement on today's board. Small sample, but if you're in a dynasty league, this is the kind of developmental signal that gets circled in prospect reports.
- Edgardo Henriquez's -0.60 FIP is, frankly, absurd. A negative FIP means he's essentially allowing nothing meaningful while racking up strikeouts at a 50% clip. Five games is a tiny window, but the Dodgers bullpen is a high-leverage ecosystem — if he earns trust, the counting stats will follow.
- First base is today's position of opportunity: Eldridge, Clemens, Goldschmidt, and Troy Johnston all appear on today's signals. If you've been streaming the position or limping through with a replacement-level option, the wire is unusually deep at 1B right now.
