Week 20 Waiver Wire Rankings - Eury Perez, Curtis Mead, Zack Gelof, Brice Turang, Giovanny Gallegos, Mike Tauchman, more

Eury Perez - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

Fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 20 of the 2023 MLB season. These are free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.

Welcome back RotoBallers, to another edition of the fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 20 -- August 7 through August 13. Now that the dust is settled and the MLB trade deadline is over, it's time to see which players fantasy managers can add off the waive wire to help their teams for the championship run.

More top prospects are being called up to the big leagues, and some are producing for fantasy managers immediately. The Rays called up top prospect Curtis Mead on Friday, while the Guardians promoted Brayan Rocchio. Mead is 1-for-4 over two games for the Rays. Rocchio is hitting .182 (2-for-11) with a walk in his previous three games with Cleveland. Top pitching prospect Eury Perez will make his return to Miami's rotation on Monday. Top prospects such as Kyle Manzardo, Masyn Winn, Ricky Tiedemann , Colt Keith, Matt Mervis, Heston Kjerstad, and Ronny Mauricio patiently await the call to the big leagues.

Notable injury notes include Jazz Chisholm Jr. (hamstring), Brandon Marsh (knee), Danny Jansen (wrist), Max Muncy (wrist), and Eloy Jimenez (heel) being considered day-to-day. Jake Fraley (toe), Joe Musgrove (shoulder), and Zach Neto (back) were placed on the injured list. Reinforcements are coming as Trevor Story (elbow), Brandon Woodruff (shoulder), and Cedric Mullins (groin) are close to returning to action. The ball is flying out of the yard as offenses are heating up. We are here to help sort it all out with our latest waiver wire rankings article.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy baseball lineup tools and resources:

This week's waiver wire rankings feature players such as Eury Perez, Zack Gelof, Trevor Story, TJ Friedl, Tarik Skubal, Curtis Mead, Tyler O'Neill, Sal Frelick, Brady Singer, Luis Rengifo, Kyle Finnegan, Brice Turang, Giovanny Gallegos, Mitch Garver and where they rank, among others. Read more to see where these players rank in the waiver wire rankings for Week 20.

 

Week 20 Waiver Wire Roundup for Fantasy Baseball

Just like any other week, we have put together a full assortment of fantasy baseball waiver wire articles. You can see that full roundup below to help prepare you for Sunday night's waiver wire runs for leagues with weekly transactions.

For those who are not familiar, our team's fantasy baseball waiver wire articles get published on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays each week. First up is our closers and saves waiver wire report by David Marcillo, followed by our two-start pitcher streamers article by Pranav Uppalapati, and then the top hitter streamers by Dawn Tepper, released late each week to give you a head start on the week ahead.

For you premium subscribers, you get our overall waiver wire article, compliments of Nick Mariano. These will give you a solid overview of the waiver wire options. RotoBaller's resident points league guru Nick Gaut brings you his weekly points league pickups for hitters.

In addition to these articles, we also dig deeper for each position with individual waiver wire articles: starting pitcher pickups, outfield pickups, 2B and SS pickups, 1B and 3B pickups, deep fantasy hitter pickups, and players to consider dropping.

 

Who To Pickup for Fantasy Baseball Week 20?

Are you looking for a more direct and structured list of prioritized players to add off the waiver wire? This article is the final piece of the weekly waiver wire pickups series. Its goal is to show you our weekly ranking for the relevant waiver wire pickup options, including how to prioritize them for your league (depending on the league size).

So below, you will find the overall rankings list. Below that, each individual position is in priority order. Hopefully, this helps you win your wire this week!
