Across 348 plate appearances since making his MLB debut in early June, Colorado Rockies outfielder/shortstop Cole Carrigg is hitting .271/.335/.461 with 10 home runs, 48 RBI, 46 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases. The 24-year-old has been a balanced producer for fantasy managers for most of the second half of the season. However, he's been particularly hot in recent weeks. Across 77 plate appearances in September, Carrigg is hitting .307 with four home runs, 12 RBI, eight runs scored, and three stolen bases. Carrigg also has a favorable schedule to end the year, with three games at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks followed by three games in Chicago against the White Sox. In leagues where he remains available on the waiver wire, Carrigg profiles as an outfield streamer for fantasy managers to target.

Across 431 plate appearances in 2026, Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung is hitting .295/.360/.450 with 11 home runs, 39 RBI, 52 runs scored, and one stolen base. After suffering a calf injury in late July, Jung missed almost two months' worth of action. However, the 28-year-old has hit well since returning to the Rangers lineup on September 12. Across his last 35 plate appearances, Jung is hitting .303 with two home runs, four RBI, and six runs scored. Jung has posted a career-best 48.7% hard-hit rate in 2026 while also dropping his strikeout rate to a career-low 18.1%. In fantasy leagues where he's not already rostered, Jung could be worth targeting on the waiver wire for the final week of the 2026 season.

Across 572 plate appearances in 2026, Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Nolan Arenado is hitting .247/.322/.455 with 27 home runs, 78 RBI, 73 runs scored, and four stolen bases. After hitting just 28 home runs across over 1,000 plate appearances in his final two seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2024 and 2025, it's been a resurgent campaign for the 35-year-old. Arenado has also been red-hot of late, hitting .317 with six home runs and 13 RBI across 68 plate appearances in September. Arenado also has a favorable schedule in the final week of the regular season, as the Diamondbacks will open a three-game set at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. In any league where he is available on the waiver wire, Arenado profiles as a priority target for fantasy managers.

Atlanta Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos said during a radio appearance on 680 The Fan that right-hander Robert Suarez (elbow) is "highly likely" to be activated from the 60-day injured list on either Wednesday or Thursday. Suarez has been sidelined since mid-June by inflammation in his right elbow, but it appears he will be back in the Atlanta bullpen for the team's postseason push. Across 32 innings (31 games) before suffering the injury, Suarez recorded a 0.56 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, 26 strikeouts, and four saves. While the 35-year-old's strikeout rate dropped to 21.5%, he allowed just one home run (0.28 HR/9). Upon his return, Suarez should be a key part of the bridge to Braves closer Raisel Iglesias.
