Waiver Wire

8 entries
  • Jul 9, 2026·Issue #081·38% owned

    Matthews has reeled off three quality starts in a row with a 2.25 ERA over his last 20 innings. Still available in 62% of leagues — if you have a spot, grab him before he crests 50% owned after the break.

  • Jun 10, 2026·Issue #053·29% owned

    Three starts since his May 14 debut and he looks like the real thing. The walk rate (0.95 BB/9) was always his calling card and the strikeouts are a new addition. Available in 71% of leagues — in 14-teamers especially this should already be done.

  • Jun 2, 2026·Issue #045·38% owned

    The most criminally underowned available starter in standard leagues. His 17:2 K:BB ratio and sub-3.00 xERA should have him at 60% owned — not 38%. Two-start week in Week 10. Add before tonight's wire processes.

  • May 31, 2026·Issue #043·44% owned

    Already highlighted yesterday, but ownership is still low enough to grab in most formats. The xFIP (3.59) backs the ERA and the walk rate (0.95 BB/9) is elite for a pitcher who bounced between the majors and Triple-A for two seasons. He starts today vs. Pittsburgh — a good streaming spot.

  • May 30, 2026·Issue #042·38% owned

    Was optioned earlier in 2026 to retool his mechanics; has returned a noticeably different pitcher. Pablo López's season-ending elbow injury locked in a permanent rotation spot. Yahoo Sports is calling this the most under-rostered SP in baseball right now — hard to argue at 38%.

  • May 27, 2026·Issue #039·20% owned

    Recalled from Triple-A and looking like a legitimate rotation piece, not a placeholder. Two dominant starts (7 scoreless vs. Miami, 6 IP/2 ER vs. Houston) with elite command. The Twins are keeping him in the rotation. Must-add in 10- and 12-team leagues.

  • May 22, 2026·Issue #034·26% owned

    Pitcher List's top SP add. Matthews has been excellent since his recall — 7 shutout IP vs. the Marlins and a quality start against Houston, an 11:1 K:BB across 13 MLB innings. The control is genuinely elite and the role is locked in the Twins' rotation. Top-40 SP rest of season.

  • May 20, 2026·Issue #032·21% owned

    Pitcher List's priority SP add. Matthews has two starts this week and an elite slider (38.6% whiff rate). The Twins' rotation has been one of the top-3 in MLB. Last chance to add at sub-30% before he's locked in everywhere. Top-30 SP rest of season floor.
