Fantasy baseball waiver wire players to watch

Fantasy baseball analysts are highlighting several key players for waiver wire pickups. Mickey Gasper of the Boston Red Sox is noted as a top priority due to exceptional performance since his August 17th recall, leading the league in several advanced metrics including OBP, SLG, and OPS.

Other notable players include catcher Carter Jensen of the Kansas City Royals, who has recorded five home runs over a two-week span, and Hector Rodriguez of the Cincinnati Reds, a prospect who has hit five home runs in 82 at-bats.

In pitching, Max Scherzer is identified as a strong addition following a seven-inning shutout performance. Other pitching options mentioned include Zac Thornton, Javier Assad, Martín Pérez, and Yusei Kikuchi.
