Waiver Wire Update: White Sox Rookies Lead Upside Adds, Saves Openings Emerge

Yahoo's latest waiver guide spotlights upside adds alongside shifting bullpen roles.

Overview

  • Noah Schultz stays a speculative add after a shaky debut, backed by a 19:2 strikeout-to-walk mark in Triple-A and a soft upcoming matchup against the Athletics.
  • Sam Antonacci profiles as an on-base and steals play, bringing a .445 minor-league OBP and 53 bags since 2025, though limited power narrows his fit to teams needing speed and average.
  • Mick Abel rebounds into form with 13 straight scoreless innings and 16 strikeouts across two starts, while Landen Roupp posts a 2.38 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with a 24:7 K:BB to earn longer-term interest.
  • Bryan Baker handles ninth-inning work for the Rays with four saves in five outings, and Louie Varland looms as a Blue Jays stash as Jeff Hoffman has blown three of five chances.
  • The weekend streaming board ranks Ryan Weathers first versus Kansas City, with Andrew Painter, Grant Holmes, Nick Martinez, and Schultz also recommended for short-term use.
