Since being promoted to the big leagues on June 9, Colorado Rockies outfielder Cole Carrigg is hitting .245/.369/.491 with three home runs, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored, and one stolen base. With Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle (oblique) on the injured list, Carrigg has emerged as the team's primary center fielder. The 24-year-old has demonstrated an advanced plate approach, logging a 15.4% walk rate while striking out in just 21.5% of his plate appearances. Carrigg also has some untapped speed upside, as he stole 46 bases across 123 games at Double-A in 2025 and 30 bases in just 57 games at Triple-A this season before getting the call from the Rockies. Carrigg's 7.5% barrel rate and 35% hard-hit rate in a small sample size are underwhelming, but the hitter-friendly environment of Coors Field should help him maximize his batted balls. Given his speed and balanced profile at the plate, Carrigg profiles as a priority waiver wire target.

Across 309 plate appearances in 2026, Minnesota Twins second baseman Luke Keaschall is hitting .247/.330/.321 with two home runs, 24 RBI, 29 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases. The 23-year-old's underlying power metrics are highly underwhelming, as he's logged a 3.1% barrel rate and a 28.8% hard-hit rate. However, Keaschall's strong plate approach is underscored by his 9.7% walk rate and 15.5% strikeout rate. He also remains a capable source of speed for fantasy managers, as he's recorded 25 stolen bases in 31 attempts across 128 MLB games. Fantasy managers should be aware that Keaschall will hurt them in the power categories. Still, for deeper league rosters in need of speed and some batting average upside, Keaschall could be worth targeting on the waiver wire.

After opening 2026 in a relief role, Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Griffin Jax was moved to the starting rotation in late April. It took a few outings for Jax to ramp up to a full starter's workload, but he's started to come into his own in recent weeks. Dating back to June 7, Jax has allowed just two earned runs while recording 21 strikeouts and two wins across 20 innings (four starts). For the season overall, the 31-year-old is averaging 96.5 miles per hour on his fastball and has pitched to a 3.33 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 54 innings. Jax has yet to go more than exactly five innings in a start, which limits his production upside to some degree. Still, his effectiveness since joining the Rays rotation makes him a quality starting pitcher streamer for fantasy managers to target on the waiver wire.

Since being acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in early May, Minnesota Twins right-hander Yoendrys Gomez has emerged as a key piece of his team's bullpen. Across 20 2/3 innings (23 games) with Minnesota, Gomez has recorded a 1.31 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, 22 strikeouts, and six saves. The 26-year-old is not the exclusive closer for the Twins, as he's been used in the eighth inning in each of his last two appearances. Still, Gomez has not been used before the eighth inning since late May, and he's logged four saves in June. He profiles as Minnesota's preferred ninth-inning option going forward and should be a waiver wire target for deep league fantasy managers in need of saves.
