Welcome to our daily look at fantasy baseball! Today, we’re diving into the top players you should consider adding to your roster. We’ll focus on those likely available in most leagues and highlight some hidden gems that could pay off big time.
Top Players to Add
Noah Schultz (CHW), SP (40% Rostered)
Noah Schultz is making his MLB debut today, and he’s a player you don’t want to miss. The towering 6’10” lefty has been outstanding in Triple-A, boasting a mere 1.29 ERA and an impressive strikeout rate. While his 2025 season wasn’t great due to a knee injury, he bounced back in 2024 as a top prospect. His unique height and arm angle could make him a tough matchup for hitters, similar to previous White Sox stars. With a strong fastball and slider, he’s set to be a valuable addition for fantasy teams.
Jeffrey Springs (ATH), SP (50% Rostered)
Jeffrey Springs has had a rollercoaster of a career, but his recent performances are noteworthy. He pitched seven shutout innings against the Yankees and currently holds a 1.47 ERA. While he may not be an ace, his upcoming matchups are promising. It’s worth considering him while he’s on this hot streak.
Andrew Painter (PHI), SP (48% Rostered)
After a migraine sidelined Andrew Painter briefly, he made a solid return, allowing just one run in five innings with seven strikeouts. His performance can be inconsistent, primarily based on his breaking pitches, but when he’s on, he’s a must-have for most leagues.
Daulton Varsho (TOR), OF (39% Rostered)
Daulton Varsho is starting to find his groove, hitting .348 with two home runs recently. He’s shown potential for significant power, and while projecting 30 home runs may seem ambitious, it’s possible. He’s worth a pickup, especially if another manager has lost faith.
Jorge Soler (LAA), OF (38% Rostered)
Soler is heating up with homers in three consecutive games. He has a reputation for being streaky but can be a fantastic source of power. If you’re in a deeper league, make sure he isn’t slipping through the cracks.
Players Making Waves
Looking at the most-added players, Noah Schultz and Jeffrey Springs stand out. For teams wanting to adjust their roster, Grant Holmes emerged as a streamer but struggled in his last outing. Meanwhile, Maurico Dubon has been hitting .373, making him appealing for deep leagues. Don’t forget about Angel Martínez, who also hit a home run recently.
Chandler Simpson (76% rostered on Yahoo, 52.8% on ESPN) deserves a mention for his stellar .411 batting average and stolen bases. If you can snag him, do it before someone else does!
Streamer Alert
Ryan Weathers (NYY), SP (32% Rostered)
Despite a rough start, Weathers turned it around by dominating the Athletics in his last game. His next matchup against the strikeout-prone Angels makes him a solid streaming option. If he continues this form, he’s worth holding onto for the longer term.
Potential Future Stars
Sam Antonacci (CHW), 2B/3B (8% Rostered)
Though Antonacci hasn’t been called up yet, he’s performing well in Triple-A with impressive stats. His combination of speed and power could make him a valuable player once he joins the major leagues. Keep an eye on him; he may be up soon!
Fantasy baseball is all about staying ahead. Grabbing the right players at the right time can make all the difference in your league. Happy managing!
