Fantasy baseball waiver wire recommendations for August 26, 2026, highlight several players for roster additions.

For pitching, the Atlanta Braves' rotation offers potential value with P. Tyler Mahle, Martin Perez, and Grant Holmes, particularly in matchups against the Rockies. Mahle has recorded a 1.52 ERA over his last 23.2 innings, while Perez has maintained a 2.40 ERA in his last 30 innings. Mason Montgomery of the Pittsburgh Pirates is also noted as a priority.

In hitting, Luis Robert Jr. of the New York Mets is identified as a top priority due to a recent surge in performance, including five home runs and a 1.260 OPS over a two-week span. Additionally, Tristan Peters of the Chicago White Sox is suggested as a low-risk option following a recent increase in power production.
