Kerry Carpenter - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB DFS Picks, Betting Picks

The fantasy baseball season is winding down, as we have around five weeks left of the 2024 MLB campaign. It's time to focus on who to pick up that could help you secure a fantasy baseball championship. At RotoBaller HQ, we are back with more waiver wire advice for Week 23 (August 26 - September 1) of the 2024 MLB season.

The MLB will expand their rosters next Sunday, so expect more top prospects to be called up in September. Top prospects such as Dalton Rushing, Deyvison De Los Santos, Matt Shaw, Jordan Beck, Bubba Chandler, and Brandon Sproat could soon be up in the majors. Staying on top of the player news as we guide you through the injuries, prospect call-ups, and closer role changes is essential.

We've been working hard to assemble a list of 100 players to consider for various league sizes to help you prioritize your waiver-wire decisions. This edition features Junior Caminero, Kerry Carpenter, Bowden Francis, Parker Meadows, DJ Herz, and Max Meyer. Read more to see where these players rank in our waiver wire rankings for Week 23.
