Managers Target Short-Term Waiver Adds as Miller, Eldridge and Kolek Rise

Fantasy outlets say quick, matchup-driven claims can swing weekly rosters by exploiting two-start slots, hot hitting streaks and unsettled late-inning roles.

Overview

  • Bryce Miller is listed as a must-add for many fantasy managers after outlets reported increased velocity, stronger strikeout rates and improved command in recent starts.
  • Bryce Eldridge and Jung Hoo Lee are top hitter targets because both are on sustained hot streaks that have markedly raised their recent wRC+ and playing-time value.
  • Stephen Kolek tops this week’s two-start streamer lists as a safe short-term option due to home matchups and low walk rates despite modest swing-and-miss numbers.
  • Dustin May is being recommended as a high-upside pickup after coverage noted a spike in K-BB rate, renewed velocity and better underlying FIP metrics.
  • Closers remain volatile, so outlets point to Yoendrys Gomez as Minnesota’s leading late-inning option and urge managers to act quickly on short-term saves and two-start opportunities because roster percent and schedules change fast.
