Fantasy Baseball Week 12 Waiver Wire Rankings

Fantasy baseball analysts released Week 12 waiver‑wire rankings for the 2026 MLB season, highlighting the top 100 hitters and pitchers available on Yahoo leagues. The lists prioritize players based on roster percentages, recent minor‑league performance, and injury replacements. Notable additions include pitchers Payton Tolle, Hunter Greene and Carson Benge, as well as position players such as JJ Bleday, Jacob Latz and rookie outfielder Cole Carrigg.

The rankings also note current MLB injuries that affect waiver moves, such as Guardians third‑baseman José Ramírez being placed on the injured list with a left hamate fracture. Analysts advise targeting players who are excelling in the minors—e.g., Royce Lewis, who returned from Triple‑A with a surge in home runs—and veterans who can fill immediate roster gaps, like backup catcher Dalton Rushing after Will Smith’s IL placement. The advice is segmented by categories such as stolen bases, runs, home runs and RBIs, offering specific pickup suggestions for fantasy managers seeking to improve their lineups during the week of June 15‑21.
