Heriberto Hernández Tops Yahoo’s Waiver List as Call‑Ups and Hot Stretches Shift Fantasy Value
July power surges and recent MLB debuts have opened short-term streaming opportunities and stashable bullpen candidates ahead of the trade deadline.
Overview
- Yahoo Sports names Marlins outfielder Heriberto Hernández the top add after a power-filled July that produced eight homers and a near-1.00 OPS, with 14 homers since June 1 backing his priority status.
- Tigers prospect Max Clark is scheduled for his big-league debut and is expected to be an everyday outfielder, making him an immediate pickup in five-outfielder formats.
- Colorado’s Cole Carrigg is a hot, under-rostered speed play who should be added for short-term gains at Coors Field despite some underperformance versus expected metrics.
- St. Louis’ Kyle Leahy and New York’s Zac Thornton have posted strong recent starts with low ERAs, good K:BB ratios and clear streaming appeal for managers seeking rotation innings.
- Yahoo advises stashing relievers Luke Weaver and Adrian Morejón as potential ninth-inning options if trade-deadline moves shuffle closer roles, while warning many recommendations hinge on small samples and matchup or park effects.
