Carter Jensen Can Contribute Rare Catcher Numbers
Kansas City Royals catcher Carter Jensen has been outstanding over the last 18 games, hitting .315 with four homers, 16 runs, and 16 RBI. He has eight doubles to go with those four homers in that span, producing a .399 wOBA with a 49.2% hard-hit rate. The 22-year-old made it to the majors very quickly after being a third-round pick in the 2021 MLB Draft, and he is starting to settle in and produce at this level. He has also hit leadoff in 14 of those 18 games, putting him in a great position for run-production and getting him extra at-bats. The lefty still has lots of room to grow, but since he fills a catcher spot where his production is even more unusual, he makes a great pickup at this point from the waiver wire in almost all formats.

Ryan O'Hearn Offers Potential Power Production Off the Waiver Wire
Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn has been a solid part of the middle of the batting order for the Pirates and has been able to contribute solid power numbers and run production. He has 11 RBI over his last 11 games, going 15-for-48 (.313) with five doubles, a home run, and a .342 wOBA. The 32-year-old lefty has been very solid in his 67 games with the Pirates after joining them this past offseason on a two-year deal. O'Hearn is on pace to set a new career-high in homers and RBI if he stays healthy, and he can chip in solid run production for NL-only leagues or deep mixed leagues right away if you need some thump from the waiver wire.

Payton Tolle Shines against the Yankees, Makes a Great Rotation Addition
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Payton Tolle turned in an impressive performance against the Yankees on Friday night, allowing just one hit in seven shutout innings and racking up seven strikeouts. He improved to 4-5 with the win and lowered his ERA to 2.78 with a 3.19 FIP on the year. The fiery 23-year-old lefty had allowed 10 runs in his previous three games, but his domination on Friday reminds everyone of his strikeout upside. He kept the strong Yankees lineup silent and can bring solid punchout production when he's at his best. While he has had some inconsistencies, his ceiling makes him worth adding as he continues to adjust to the majors. His emergence has been one of the few bright spots in a rough season for the Red Sox, and he can definitely make a solid addition, offering both rotation depth and upside in mixed leagues.

Sam Antonacci Settling in as Leadoff Hitter, Can Be a Multi-Category Addition
Chicago White Sox outfielder Sam Antonacci has become a fixture at the top of the exciting young lineup on the South Side. Antonacci is hitting .307 with five doubles, three homers, nine walks, and four stolen bases. He has a .386 wOBA and a .466 SLG, showing he has some very solid power to go with his speed. Antonacci is up to four homers and 11 stolen bases on the season and has scored 37 runs as well. Especially against righties, Antonacci can be a solid source of run creation with the potential to pick up power numbers and add solid stolen base production. He still has multi-positional eligibility in many formats and can be a versatile way to fill in your roster with the potential to contribute across the board, while not hurting your roster in any category.
