Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Week of June 15
Here are five players fantasy managers should consider picking up this week.
I don’t know about you, but I am feeling stuck with my fantasy roster right now. I have a number of players who are not bad, but not exactly great either. The waiver wire still has a number of interesting players available, but fewer and fewer that feel like they are safe.
Around this time of year, you probably know what you have. The draft pick that’s hovering around “he’s fine” territory isn’t going to help you win a championship. If you are under .500, you need to start taking some swings and crossing your fingers on upside, play hot hands, and endure a few months of aggressive roster movement, hoping to string together a hot streak of your own.
Today, we have a mix of outfielders with upside and opportunity paired with two very different bullpen arms that should help your team not only for the next week or so, but potentially the rest of the way.
Stats as of June 14th. Ownership percentages via ESPN.
Dominic Canzone – OF – Seattle Mariners (10.4%)
2026 Stats: .285/.354/.563, 10 HR, 157 wRC+
Rostering a platoon player is always a difficult sell, especially in shallow leagues, but at some point, it makes sense. Canzone was excellent last season and has been even better this year. He’s cut his strikeout rate down, increased his walk rate, and hit 10 home runs, one short of matching last year’s total in 100 fewer plate appearances.
Depending on how your roster is constructed, you can essentially platoon Canzone yourself. If you have a utility spot and a bench player that you can plug in on days the Mariners play a lefty, the move can make sense in smaller leagues. This level of production is worth adding.
Jasson Domínguez – OF – New York Yankees (5.1%)
2026 Stats: (10 G) .206/.250/.441, 2 HR, 89 wRC+
Domínguez has just been activated off the IL and will replace Trent Grisham, who he swapped spots on the IL with. While he has not yet lived up to his star power as a prospect, he showed promise as a rookie last season and looked great in Triple-A (136 wRC+) this year.
We have to remember he is only 23 years old. Opportunity should be there, at least for a couple of weeks, and adding a player with his much talent playing a lineup that should give him run-producing opportunities is worth the roll of the dice.
Cole Carrigg – OF – Colorado Rockies (4.4%)
2026 Stats: (5 G) .211/.250/.632, 120 wRC+
Carrigg is the latest Rockies outfield prospect to be given a shot at proving he can be a long-term answer. While others have faltered, Carrigg’s blend of plus speed and at least average power, paired with a motor that never stops, gives you a lot to like. Of course, playing in Coors always helps.
If you need stolen bases, Carrigg certainly can help. He stole 30 in 57 games in Triple-A, and his speed is something you notice right off the bat. His swing-and-miss was an issue last season, but he’s corrected back towards his norm from years prior. A fun player who should be afforded every opportunity to succeed.
Jacob Latz – RP – Texas Rangers (28.1%)
2026 Stats: 32 IP, 1.69 ERA, 2.51 FIP, 9.28 K/9, 1.97 BB/9
Latz has been given an opportunity to close games in Texas and is making the most of it, racking up 10 saves. The veteran has been productive in lesser roles over the past three seasons, and now that his command has improved, so has his production.
Soft(er)-tossing lefty that throws four different pitches is not exactly the closer prototype, but Latz has made it work. The Rangers are winning enough games that opportunities are not few or far between. You are running out of time to find consistent saves, so pick up Latz, or wait for the next guy on this list.
Grant Taylor – RP – Chicago White Sox (12.3%)
2026 Stats: 34.2 IP, 2 SV, 1.82 ERA, 1.32 FIP, 13.24 K/9, 2.34 BB/9
I have been pounding the table for Taylor to take over the closer role in Chicago for some time. The swing-and-miss stuff is elite, command has improved, and he’s done nothing but get outs since he first joined the White Sox last season. His two saves this season have been two innings, no hits, no walks, and six strikeouts.
The reason adding Taylor makes sense is not only because he could take over the closer role, but also because of how he’s used elsewhere. He often is given two innings, giving you more opportunity and strikeouts per week while you wait for him to claim the ninth. What’s not to like?
