Today's Top Adds

Pedro Ramírez posted a 0.0% strikeout rate over the last seven days — zero punchouts in a five-game sample — while walking at a 15.4% clip and barreling everything he touches at a .395 wOBA. That's a massive jump from his .326 wOBA over the trailing 30 days, and the 93.0 mph exit velocity confirms the contact quality is real. At 8% ownership and rising fast (+4% in seven days), this is the kind of multi-position bat (2B/3B eligibility) that disappears from waivers by Monday. Add him now in all formats.

Watch List

Carson Kelly (C, CHC)

A .477 wOBA over the last week with a 5.3% strikeout rate and 15.8% walk rate is elite-level plate discipline from any position — from catcher, it's a flashing neon sign. Two homers and a .312 average in five games. The 30-day wOBA was already a respectable .334, so this isn't a dead bat suddenly waking up; it's a competent hitter entering a heater. At 10% ownership, he's the top catcher target if you're streaming the position.

Gordon Graceffo (P, STL)

A 44.8% strikeout rate and a 0.23 FIP over 8.0 innings in the last seven days. Those are video-game numbers. The 30-day K rate was already strong at 25.9%, so the underlying swing-and-miss is established — last week he simply weaponized it. Still an early signal in a small window, but if he gets another start with this kind of punch-out dominance, he becomes an immediate add.

AJ Blubaugh (SP/RP, HOU)

A 1.70 FIP with a 26.3% strikeout rate in 5.0 innings pitched. The raw K-rate improvement over his 30-day mark (25.9%) is marginal, but the FIP tells you the results are real and not smoke-and-mirrors. Worth monitoring for a streaming look if Houston gives him a rotation spot.

Yennier Cano (RP, BAL)

The Orioles reliever posted a 0.00 ERA with a 1.36 FIP and 28.6% strikeout rate over the past week. Cano is flashing high-leverage stuff, and at 3% ownership, he's a speculative add in leagues that reward holds or saves+holds.

Mark Vientos (1B/3B, NYM)

Vientos is doing damage — 55.6% hard-hit rate, 94.8 mph average exit velocity, and a .480 wOBA in five games. A .333 average with a homer rounds out the profile. The ownership needle hasn't moved at all (3%, +0%), which means you still have time, but this kind of batted-ball data usually precedes a breakout stretch.

Vaughn Grissom (1B/2B/3B, LAA)

Multi-position eligibility plus a 60.6% hard-hit rate is an intriguing combination. Grissom's wOBA jumped from .284 over 30 days to .342 over the last seven, and his strikeout rate dropped from 24.1% to 15.4%. Consistent playing time (26 PA in seven days) gives this signal more weight than most Watch List entries. At 3% owned, he's a free asset with real upside if the contact quality holds.

Dylan Smith (RP, SF)

A 45.5% strikeout rate and 0.77 FIP in his last week of work. Those K numbers are up sharply from his 30-day rate of 34.6%. Reliever volatility applies here, but the raw stuff is clearly playing. Deep-league add in holds formats.

Henry Bolte (OF, ATH)

Bolte's seven-day line — .296 AVG, 2 HR, .402 wOBA, 50.3% hard-hit rate — is the kind of production that should be commanding more attention at 11% ownership. His strikeout rate dropped from 27.8% to 22.6%, and he's getting full playing time with 31 plate appearances in the last week. He's the closest Watch List player to graduating into a must-add.

Joey Ortiz (3B/SS, MIL)

A 4.3% strikeout rate over the last seven days is absurd. Ortiz hit .364 with a homer and a .414 wOBA while making contact on virtually everything. The 30-day K rate was 19.2%, so this isn't a low-contact hitter who suddenly stopped swinging — it's a disciplined bat locked in. Twenty-three plate appearances is a real workload. Keep him on your radar at 5% ownership.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific signals were triggered today. With September rosters expanding and matchup data still settling, check back tomorrow for targeted streaming recommendations. If you need a speculative arm, Gordon Graceffo's 44.8% K rate and 0.23 FIP over 8.0 innings make him the closest thing to a streaming dart — just confirm his next start before committing the roster spot.

Ownership Movers

Pedro Ramírez (8%, +4% in 7 days) — The fastest mover on the board, and completely justified. A .395 wOBA with a 0.0% strikeout rate and 93.0 mph exit velocity backs up every percentage point of ownership gain. He's the rare waiver target where the hype is trailing the production.

Carson Kelly (10%, +1% in 7 days) — A glacial ownership move despite a .477 wOBA and two homers in a week. The catcher position depresses ownership interest, but this kind of discipline (15.8% walk rate, 5.3% K rate) deserves more urgency, especially in two-catcher leagues.

The remaining movers — Graceffo, Blubaugh, and Cano — all sit at the floor of ownership with no measurable change in the last seven days. The underlying performance is there, but the fantasy market hasn't noticed yet. That's your edge.

Quick Hits

  • Mark Vientos leads all Watch List hitters with a 94.8 mph average exit velocity this week — nearly 2 mph harder than anyone else on today's report. The power is loud.
  • Vaughn Grissom's 60.6% hard-hit rate is the highest among all position players flagged today, quietly topping even Vientos's 55.6%. The Angels infielder is demolishing the ball despite a modest .261 batting average — the results should catch up.
  • Two pitchers — Dylan Smith (45.5%) and Gordon Graceffo (44.8%) — are flirting with 45%+ strikeout rates over the past week. Both posted sub-1.00 FIPs. That's a combined signal you almost never see on the waiver wire simultaneously.
  • Joey Ortiz's strikeout rate cratered from 19.2% to 4.3% in a week. One strikeout in 23 plate appearances. If that discipline holds even partially, the batting average alone makes him a lineup fixture.
  • Henry Bolte is the only Watch List player with 31+ plate appearances in the last seven days. Volume plus production (.402 wOBA, 2 HR) is the formula for an ownership explosion — get ahead of it.
