Ryan Jeffers is mashing at a .516 wOBA over the past seven days with four home runs, and at 43% ownership, he's still sitting on nearly six out of ten waiver wires — go get him before tonight's games.

Today's Top Adds

Ryan Jeffers (C, MIN) — Add Now

Jeffers has been the best catcher in fantasy over the past week, and it's not particularly close. A .516 wOBA backed by 91.9 mph exit velocity and a 59.4% hard-hit rate tells you this isn't empty batting average — he's squaring the ball up with authority. The strikeout rate has dropped to 15.4% over the last seven days from 18.8% over his trailing 30, suggesting a real approach improvement rather than a lucky BABIP bender. Four home runs and a .292 average across 26 plate appearances in five games is a legitimate heater. At 43% rostered and barely moving (+1% over seven days), the window to add him for free is closing but hasn't shut. If you're streaming catchers or stuck with a replacement-level option, Jeffers is the priority add this morning.

Watch List

Sean Murphy (C, ATL) — Watch

Murphy's underlying numbers are screaming. A .542 wOBA and 93.4 mph exit velocity over the past seven days suggest the bat is alive, and his walk rate has spiked to 29.4% from 11.5% over 30 days — he's being extremely patient and getting rewarded. At just 3% ownership and trending up, he's the kind of quiet add that wins weeks. The 29.4% strikeout rate is still elevated, which is why he's a watch and not an add, but the exit velocity is elite and two homers in five games is nothing to ignore.

Justin Foscue (1B/2B, TEX) — Watch

Foscue is essentially unowned at 0% but posted a .500 wOBA with 94.9 mph exit velocity and a 58.3% hard-hit rate over five games. Two homers and a .357 average across the week. The dual eligibility at first and second adds roster flexibility. If he keeps getting consistent at-bats, this could be a sneaky deep-league gem — monitor his lineup status over the next few days.

Wade Meckler (OF, LAA) — Watch

Meckler is making a ton of contact — 11.1% strikeout rate over the past week, down from 16.9% — and spraying the ball around at a .417 clip with a .443 wOBA. The 27 plate appearances confirm he's getting regular run with the Angels. The 86.4 mph exit velocity caps his power ceiling, so this is a batting average and OBP play in deeper formats. The walks are up too (11.1% vs 10.1%), suggesting a disciplined approach.

A.J. Ewing (2B/OF, NYM) — Watch

Ewing's wOBA has surged from .236 over 30 days to .411 in the past week, and his strikeout rate has plummeted from 27.8% to 19.0%. The 19.0% walk rate is eye-catching. He's getting consistent playing time with 21 PA in five games. The 38.3% hard-hit rate and 88.5 mph exit velocity temper enthusiasm — there's not a ton of impact behind the contact. But the approach changes are real, and at 15% ownership, he's worth monitoring to see if the batted ball data catches up.

Michael Massey (2B/OF, KC) — Watch

A 0.0% strikeout rate over a seven-day window will always get flagged, and while small samples make that unsustainable, the 95.7 mph exit velocity and 62.5% hard-hit rate suggest Massey is locked in mechanically. A .357 average with a .363 wOBA and no homers means his damage has been line-drive oriented. At 3% owned, he's a free pickup in deeper leagues if you need a contact-first middle infielder with some thump.

Griffin Conine (1B/OF, MIA) — Watch

Conine's strikeout rate has dropped from 29.9% to 20.8% over the past week, and he's walking at a 25.0% clip — a dramatic jump from 16.5%. The .439 wOBA and .333 average across 24 PA in five games are encouraging, though the 41.7% hard-hit rate and 87.2 mph exit velocity are below what you'd like to see from a corner bat. One homer helps. The plate discipline surge is the story here — if it holds, the power will follow. At 8% owned and dropping, he's a free flier in NL-only or deep mixed formats.

Alex Vesia (RP, LAD) — Watch

Vesia's strikeout rate has nearly doubled to 41.7% over the past seven days from 21.6% over 30, translating to a 13.64 K/9. A 2.73 ERA over the week shows he's missing bats and limiting damage. At 15% owned, he's available in most leagues and could be a difference-maker in categories formats where K upside from the bullpen matters.

Ryan Zeferjahn (RP, CHC) — Watch

The 2.19 FIP is the headline for Zeferjahn, suggesting his 5.45 ERA over the past week is heavily inflated by sequencing or defense. The strikeout rate is up to 23.1% from 20.4%. At 3% owned, he's only relevant in deeper formats, but the FIP-ERA gap makes him worth a second look if you trust peripherals over results.

Jeff Hoffman (RP, MIN) — Watch

Hoffman is already 50% rostered, so this is less about adding him and more about confirming you shouldn't drop him. A 0.00 ERA, 15.0 K/9, and a ludicrous -0.23 FIP over the past week is dominant relief pitching by any measure. The 45.5% strikeout rate — up from 29.8% — suggests he's found another gear. If he's somehow on your wire, he shouldn't be.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific signals were detected today — the algorithm didn't flag any spot starters or one-week rentals with favorable matchup data. Check back tomorrow for Tuesday and Wednesday streaming options. In the meantime, if you need bullpen help, Alex Vesia's 41.7% strikeout rate over the past week makes him the closest thing to a streaming reliever worth grabbing for a quick K infusion.

Ownership Movers

  • Sean Murphy (3%, +2% 7d) — The biggest riser in percentage terms this week. With a .542 wOBA and 93.4 mph exit velocity, the early adopters are justified. This will accelerate quickly if he homers again this week.
  • Ryan Jeffers (43%, +1% 7d) — Surprisingly slow movement for a catcher posting a .516 wOBA with four homers. The data fully supports the modest ownership climb, and he should be rostered in all 12-team leagues.
  • Justin Foscue (0%) — Completely under the radar. A .500 wOBA and 94.9 mph exit velocity at 0% ownership is a market inefficiency if he keeps getting plate appearances.
  • Wade Meckler (1%) — Near-invisible on waiver wires despite a .443 wOBA and consistent playing time. Speed-and-contact types in deep leagues, take note.
  • Ryan Zeferjahn (3%) — Flat ownership despite a 2.19 FIP. The ERA doesn't look great, which is probably suppressing interest, but the underlying pitch quality is real.

Quick Hits

  • Michael Massey's 95.7 mph exit velocity is the second-highest among all Watch List hitters this week, trailing only Justin Foscue's 94.9 — wait, Massey actually leads the group. Combined with a 62.5% hard-hit rate, he's the best pure contact-quality bat on this list.
  • Jeff Hoffman's -0.23 FIP is essentially a mathematical anomaly — you almost never see a negative FIP even in small samples. It means he's striking out everyone, walking nobody, and allowing zero homers. Ride it.
  • A.J. Ewing's ownership is actually dropping (-2% over seven days) despite his wOBA climbing from .236 to .411. That's a classic case of managers bailing too early — the underlying trend is clearly improving.
  • Griffin Conine's walk rate jumping from 16.5% to 25.0% in a week is one of the most dramatic plate discipline shifts on today's board. If that approach sticks, he's a completely different hitter than his 30-day line suggests.
  • The catcher position is unusually rich today: Ryan Jeffers (.516 wOBA) and Sean Murphy (.542 wOBA) are both flashing elite seven-day numbers. If your current catcher is a black hole, this is the week to upgrade.
