Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Picks Spotlight Top Prospects for 2026

Two fantasy‑baseball columns outline waiver‑wire recommendations for the 2026 MLB season. The first article highlights New York Yankees shortstop George Lombard Jr., noting his .909 OPS in the minors, 12 home runs and 14 stolen bases, and suggests he could become a top‑10 offensive shortstop and a solid addition in 12‑team leagues. It also recommends Los Angeles Angels pitcher Walbert Ureña, who boasts a 2.54 ERA, a 97 mph fastball and an effective change‑up.

The second column points to Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Myles Straw, who is batting .216 with a .273 on‑base percentage, three homers and six steals, and could see a larger role after recent roster moves. It also mentions Boston Red Sox infielder Anthony Seigler as a regular in the lineup. Both pieces advise fantasy managers to add these players now to stay ahead of competitors.
