Xander Bogaerts a Waiver Wire Target Amid Power Resurgence?
San Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts is an intriguing waiver wire option for fantasy baseball managers as he shows off increased power. Bogaerts hit just 11 homers in each of his last two seasons, but he's already up to seven homers through just 48 games this year. Although he has hit a bit of a lull lately (.160/.192/.160 slash line over his last seven games), the power surge is enough to justify adding Bogaerts off waivers. Outside of the recent skid, he's having a solid season with a .247/.318/.385 slash line, seven homers, seven steals, a 9% walk rate, an 18% strikeout rate, and 104 wRC+. He is still available in 48% of leagues, and he ranks #19 among shortstops in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.

Jack Wenninger Worth Stashing Ahead of Potential MLB Debut?
New York Mets pitching prospect Jack Wenninger could be next in line the next time the team needs to fill a rotation spot. The organization went with Zach Thornton on Wednesday to fill the void left by the injury to Clay Holmes (fibula), with the southpaw lasting just 4 1/3 innings after piling up 80 pitches, allowing four earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three in the outing. Wenninger has been impressive at limiting damage at Triple-A, allowing just one home run in eight starts and stranding 87.7 percent of runners, leading to a 1.51 ERA. However, the right-hander owns a gaudy 14.6 percent walk rate (11.3 percent K-BB%), has hit four batters, and a 3.88 FIP suggests the results have been better than expected. Still, averaging more than a strikeout per inning (9.84 K/9) gets our attention in fantasy, and if he can find similar success in the majors, then the 24-year-old would be a viable fantasy asset. View the 6-foot-4 hurler as one of the top pitching prospects to stash given his likelihood of a call-up in the not-too-distant future.

Graham Pauley Back With Marlins, Worth a Waiver-Wire Pickup?
The Miami Marlins are calling up third baseman Graham Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday after they placed infielder Leo Jimenez (neck) on the 10-day injured list after he was injured on Wednesday night, according to Kevin Barral of Fish on First. The 25-year-old Pauley was demoted to the minors after going 13-for-75 (.173) with a homer, six doubles, nine RBI, eight runs scored, a stolen base, five walks, and 19 strikeouts in his first 28 games for the Fish in 2026. At Jacksonville, Pauley wasn't a whole lot better, batting .222 (8-for-36), but with three home runs, two doubles, six RBI, six runs scored, a steal, five walks, and nine strikeouts across nine games and 41 plate appearances. At best, Pauley will be on the strong side of a platoon at the hot corner in South Beach for the Marlins now that he's back in the big leagues. Only fantasy managers in NL-only leagues should be considering picking Pauley up as corner-infield depth. In 103 major-league games, Pauley has slashed .198/.268/.340 with a .607 OPS, seven home runs, and 25 RBI.

Marlins Acquire Rece Hinds, Holding Stash Value Amid Potential Return to the Majors?
The Miami Marlins acquired outfielder Rece Hinds from the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday in exchange for right-hander Zach McCambley, according to Isaac Azout of Fish on First. The 25-year-old Hinds will now head to the National League East after the Reds designated him for assignment last week. The former second-rounder in 2019 will report to Triple-A Jacksonville. He offers elite power/exit velocity, but also swings and misses quite often. He hit only 121 (4-for-33) with one walk and 18 strikeouts in 12 games this season in Cincy and also batted .116 (5-for-43) with a walk and 21 strikeouts in 15 games for the Reds in 2025. Hinds has seven home runs and 19 RBI in his 51 big-league games, but he's also sporting a 42% strikeout rate and 4.6% walk rate, which isn't conducive to long-term success. In 23 games for Triple-A Louisville in 2026, Hinds has hit .306/.423/.635 with seven homers. In NL-only leagues, Hinds is worth a look off the waiver wire for his raw power, but in mixed leagues, he can continue to be ignored. He's currently not rostered at all in any Yahoo leagues.
