MLB fantasy baseball waiver-wire & DFS updates
Overview
As the 2026 MLB season enters its final stretch in early September, fantasy managers are focusing on waiver additions, prospect call-ups, and late-season roster improvements. Infield targets remain a priority, with Yankees' George Lombard Jr. highlighted for his promotion to everyday shortstop and Twins prospect Kaelen Culpepper noted for his power and speed. Other infield recommendations include Moisés Ballesteros (Angels), Willi Castro (Rockies), and Nathaniel Lowe (Guardians). For catcher positions, analysts suggest Yainer Diaz (Astros), Endy Rodriguez (Pirates), and Tim Tawa (Diamondbacks) as viable options. On the mound, Seattle's Kade Anderson has emerged as a high-priority pitching prospect following a successful major league debut. Additionally, Tyler Mahle of the Atlanta Braves continues to be a focal point; as of August 26, he has recorded a 1.52 ERA over his last 23.2 innings. Other Braves pitching options include Martin Perez and Grant Holmes, while Mason Montgomery of the Pittsburgh Pirates has also been identified as a priority. Managers are also utilizing two-start pitcher rankings featuring Tarik Skubal, Michael Wacha, Luis Hernández, Paul Skenes, and Jacob Misiorowski. In the hitting category, Luis Robert Jr. of the New York Mets has become a top priority following a surge including five home runs and a 1.260 OPS over a two-week span. Spencer Jones of the New York Yankees remains a high-upside target. Recent updates also highlight Orioles infielder Coby Mayo as a waiver wire target for the season's conclusion. Furthermore, analysts are utilizing metrics like Decision Value (DV) to evaluate hitters, noting Cincinnati Reds' JJ Bleday for his consistent approach despite statistical fluctuations. New waiver wire priorities include Boston Red Sox's Mickey Gasper, who has led the league in several advanced metrics including OBP, SLG, and OPS since his August 17 recall.
