Fantasy baseball managers, get ready to hustle! Tuesday's waiver wire is buzzing with fresh talent, and we've got the scoop on who to add before your league rivals do. From a bold prospect call-up to a breakout slugger, here are the top targets to elevate your roster.
A.J. Ewing, OF, Mets (16% rostered) – The Mets are shaking things up by promoting one of their brightest prospects, A.J. Ewing, straight to the big leagues. This aggressive move follows a similar path to Carson Benge's rapid rise, and it's clear New York has its eyes on specific performance metrics. Ewing has been crushing it this season, slashing .339/.447/.514 across Double-A and Triple-A. His standout tool? Speed. After swiping 70 bags last year, he's already stolen 17 in just 30 games in 2026. But Ewing isn't a one-trick pony—he boasts a patient approach and makes consistent contact, rarely looking overmatched in the minors. His lack of current power might tempt pitchers to challenge him, but scouts believe average pop could develop. If he can hold his own at the plate, his wheels make him a difference-maker in Roto leagues. Just keep an eye on Luis Robert's return from a back injury—Ewing's stay could be temporary, but for now, he's worth a flier as a potential everyday spark.
Henry Bolte, OF, Athletics (6% rostered) – The A's love their athletic outfielders with raw tools and some risk, and Henry Bolte fits the mold perfectly. Joining Lawrence Butler and Denzel Clarke in that club, Bolte brings a tantalizing mix of power and speed. Over his last 71 Triple-A games, he's posted 30 steals and 14 homers, with 12 of those dingers coming this season alone. The power surge is new, and so is his improved plate discipline—his strikeout rate has dropped to 22%. While contact consistency remains a question, his dynamic skill set could pay off big in deeper leagues if he earns regular playing time.
