Note: My waiver wire report digs a little deeper and is slanted toward high-stakes leagues (15 teams)
Catcher
Adley Rutschman
With Baltimore out of contention, fantasy owners want to know if they will call up Rutschman. Over 44 games at AA, he’s hitting .292 with 34 runs, 11 home runs, and 31 RBI over 31 at-bats. His play in June (.291/5/11 over at-bats) puts him on a path to reach AAA soon. Rutschman has an excellent walk rate (18.6), which tells me he’s ready for the big dance.
Reese McGuire
The hottest catcher over the past week is McGuire.
