Garrett Whitlock is quietly putting together the most dominant stretch of any reliever on the waiver wire — a 0.00 ERA with a 44.4% strikeout rate over his last five appearances — and at just 24% ownership, he's still sitting there in most leagues as September rosters tighten.

Today's Top Adds

No players triggered Add Now signals in the past 24 hours. That's unusual for mid-September, but it reflects a waiver landscape where the sharpest moves right now are anticipatory, not reactive. The Watch List below is loaded — several of these names could flip to Add Now within days.

Watch List

Garrett Whitlock (RP, BOS) — 24% owned

The numbers are absurd: a 0.00 ERA and 13.33 K/9 over his last five appearances, backed by a 1.25 FIP that confirms the dominance is real, not lucky. His 7-day K rate of 44.4% is up from an already-elite 42.9% over 30 days. Ownership has climbed 2% in the last week and is trending up. If he keeps this pace through one more outing, he'll be gone in competitive leagues. This is the closest thing on today's board to an Add Now.

Juan Brito (1B/2B, CIN) — 1% owned

Brito is slashing .429 with a homer and a .448 wOBA over five games, and he's doing it with just a 4.8% strikeout rate — way down from 12.8% over 30 days. The 21 plate appearances in seven days confirm he's getting everyday run, and the 1% ownership means you have time, but not much. His 38.9% hard-hit rate is fine, not spectacular, so the batting average will regress. But the contact quality and plate discipline combo at this ownership level is a clear league-winner profile if it holds.

Josh Jung (3B, TEX) — 21% owned

Jung is hitting .364 with a .404 wOBA and a 91.1 mph average exit velocity over his last five games, with a 50.0% hard-hit rate that backs up the surface numbers. He's getting consistent playing time with 22 plate appearances in seven days. If you need corner infield production and he's available, he's worth a speculative grab now — the 21% ownership is low for a player with this kind of batted-ball data.

Hunter Feduccia (C, LAD) — 0% owned

The catcher landscape in fantasy is a wasteland, which makes Feduccia's underlying numbers intriguing. His 7-day wOBA has surged to .401, up from .308 over 30 days, driven by a walk rate that's ballooned to 38.5% and a strikeout rate that's plummeted to 7.7%. The .250 average and 86.9 mph exit velocity keep him on the watch list rather than the add list — he's drawing walks, not squaring up pitches. But at 0% owned in a Dodgers lineup, even a whiff of consistent playing time makes him worth monitoring.

Henry Davis (C, PIT) — 0% owned

Davis has the best exit velocity of anyone on today's report at 98.2 mph, with a 56.2% hard-hit rate that's elite. The .111 batting average looks ugly, but the .339 wOBA tells you the quality of contact is there — he's just been unlucky. His strikeout rate has dropped to 7.7% over seven days from 12.1% over 30 days. He's another catcher worth tracking if you're in a two-catcher league or streaming the position.

Hunter Gaddis (RP, CLE) — 14% owned

Gaddis owns a 2.25 ERA and 9.00 K/9 over five appearances, and his 1.10 FIP says he's actually been better than that ERA suggests. His K rate has ticked up to 23.5% from 22.2%. Cleveland's bullpen hierarchy gives him a path to high-leverage work, and a sub-1.10 FIP demands attention at 14% ownership.

Kyle Teel (C, CWS) — 6% owned

Teel's .214 average doesn't jump off the page, but his .387 wOBA does. The explanation: a 36.4% walk rate over seven days, up from 23.7% over 30 days. He's seeing 22 plate appearances in seven days, so the playing time is there. A 50.0% hard-hit rate provides some batted-ball support, though the 84.0 mph exit velocity is below average. He's a deeper-league play only right now.

Jake Cronenworth (1B/2B/SS, SD) — 6% owned

Multi-position eligibility is always valuable in September, and Cronenworth is hitting .345 with a .350 wOBA and a 15.6% strikeout rate — sharply down from 25.5% over 30 days. The 32 plate appearances in seven days confirm he's locked into San Diego's lineup. At 6% owned with 1B/2B/SS eligibility, he's a quality utility add if the plate discipline holds.

Bryan Hudson (SP/RP, CWS) — 7% owned

Hudson's 1.89 FIP is strong for a pitcher at 7% ownership. His K rate has nudged up to 20.0% from 19.5% — modest, but moving in the right direction. The dual SP/RP eligibility adds flexibility. This is a deep-league stash.

Ryan Zeferjahn (RP, CHC) — 3% owned

A 0.00 ERA and 11.74 K/9 over five appearances is the kind of line that makes you look twice. His 7-day K rate of 30.0% is way up from 22.0% over 30 days, and a 1.80 FIP supports the surface numbers. At 3% ownership, he's a speculative reliever add in leagues that count holds or need ratios help.

Stream of the Day

No streaming-specific signals triggered today. With the Watch List this deep, the best streaming-adjacent play is Ryan Zeferjahn if you need a reliever to stabilize your ERA and WHIP for the week — a 0.00 ERA, 11.74 K/9, and 1.80 FIP over five appearances is about as clean as short-relief streaming gets. Check back tomorrow for starter streaming targets.

Ownership Movers

  • Garrett Whitlock (24%, +2% 7d, trending up) — The move is entirely justified. A 1.25 FIP and 44.4% K rate say this is real. He should be rostered at double this ownership.
  • Bryan Hudson (7%, +2% 7d, trending up) — The ownership bump is small but warranted by the 1.89 FIP. The K rate isn't dominant enough to get excited about in shallower formats.
  • Josh Jung (21%, +1% 7d, stable) — Only a 1% move despite a .404 wOBA and 91.1 mph exit velocity. The market is underreacting.
  • Hunter Feduccia (0%, +0% 7d, stable) — Nobody is moving on him yet. The walk-rate spike is interesting but the exit velocity doesn't command urgency.
  • Hunter Gaddis (14%, stable) — Steady ownership for a steady reliever. The 1.10 FIP suggests he should be climbing faster than he is.

Quick Hits

  • Henry Davis's 98.2 mph average exit velocity over the last seven days is the hardest-hitting line on today's entire report — and he's at 0% ownership. The BABIP correction is coming.
  • Juan Brito's 4.8% strikeout rate is the lowest of any hitter on today's board. When a guy makes that much contact and carries a .448 wOBA, the 1% ownership is a market failure.
  • Garrett Whitlock's 44.4% strikeout rate would be the highest in baseball if sustained — it won't be, but even a regression to his 30-day rate of 42.9% keeps him elite.
  • Jake Cronenworth's strikeout rate dropped nearly 10 percentage points from his 30-day mark (25.5%) to his 7-day mark (15.6%). That's the kind of approach change that can unlock sustained production.
  • Three catchers appear on today's Watch List — Feduccia, Davis, and Teel — all under 6% owned. If you're streaming the position, these are the names to track this week.
