Fantasy Baseball Hitter Streamers - Top Waiver Wire Pickups and Starts for Week 12 (June 10 - June 16)

Heliot Ramos - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Fantasy baseball hitter streamers and starts for Week 12 of the 2024 season. Thunder Dan Palyo analyzes the top batter streamers to pick up in Week 12.

With the number of injuries and disappointing performances from players you drafted, streaming has been inevitable. And if you've waited til June to start streaming, it could even be too late. But since you're reading this article, I'll just assume that you have been streaming since the start and that you will continue to be one step ahead of your league mates this season.

Our hitter streamers fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups column will identify hitters with good matchups and can be considered waiver wire streamers ahead of the Sunday night waiver wire runs for leagues with weekly transactions.

In this piece, every week I'll look to find hitters playing in most games and who have the most favorable matchups to help you plug those gaps and fill those holes in your roster. You can also check out the rest of our fantasy baseball streamer content here at RotoBaller.

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

 

What Teams Offer The Most Streaming Value?

This week, we have eight teams playing seven games between Monday, June 10 and Sunday, June 16:

  • Baltimore (@TB, vs. ATL, vs. PHI)
  • Chicago White Sox (@SEA, @ARI)
  • Kansas City (vs. NYY, @LAD)
  • Minnesota (vs. COL, vs. OAK)
  • New York Yankees (@KC, @BOS)
  • Oakland (@SDP, @MIN)
  • Seattle (vs. CWS, vs. TEX)
  • Tampa Bay (vs. BAL, vs. CHC, @ATL)

Two teams only play FIVE games this week (CIN and CLE).

Park Factors and Matchups: Upgrades and Downgrades

  • Texas plays on the road at the Dodgers and Mariners -- DOWNGRADE
  • Pittsburgh plays at St. Louis and in Colorado -- UPGRADE

 

Week 12 Fantasy Baseball Hitter Streamers

I'll recommend only players who are 40% rostered or lower and all roster percentages are from Yahoo!

Heliot Ramos, OF - SF (49%)

I know this is breaking the rules, but I had Ramos already picked to be my top add yesterday and he was under the threshold of 40% at just 38%. Then he went out and hit a double and a home run yesterday, driving in three runs, and saw his rostership rise faster than my blood pressure when my 5-year-old won't stop jumping off the top of my couch.

This kid can really play and it turns it out that Luis Matos was the Fools' Gold pickup earlier this year. Ramos has a great ROS outlook with Jung Hoo Lee out for an extended period of time.

Masyn Winn, SS - STL (34%)

I'm not sure what else Winn has to do to prove that he should be a standard league fixture. He's hitting over .300 with 8 stolen bases and bashed his third home run of the season last week.

He leads off for the Cards against lefties and now has 22 runs scored to go with 21 RBI. That is better production than some other much more well-known shortstops are giving you at this point. This guy needs to be added in standard leagues, he should be over 40% by the time I sit down to write this piece next week!

Michael Conforto, OF - SF (30%)

Conforto had been cut by a lot of teams, but I am buying back in here. He was 0-8 in his first two games back from injury but then homered against Texas on Friday. He was swinging a really hot bat before getting hurt and should continue to play against RHP with a juicy spot in the lineup (usually cleanup). This is perhaps more of a long-term move than just a streamer, but I believe in Conforto's skills at the plate and I think he could be a really valuable asset if he stays healthy.

Tyler Stephenson, C - CIN (25%)

I know the Reds only play five times this week, but Stephenson has been on fire at the plate and catchers who hit consistently are in high demand. The right-handed backstop had a seven-game hitting streak stopped last night and has scored eight runs in eight June games for the Reds. We know he can hit and he should have plenty of RBI opportunities in this lineup hitting in the 5 or 6 slot.

Edmundo Sosa, 3B/SS - PHI (22%)

Sosa has been invaluable for the Phillies this season as a utility player and has filled in admirably for Trea Turner. With Brandon Marsh hitting the IL, the Phillies have discussed using Sosa in the outfield, too, if necessary. He smashes LHP and hits righties well enough to stay in the lineup against them, too. He's an everyday player (for now) on one of the best offenses in baseball and his dual eligibility at 3B and SS is quite handy.

Brandon Lowe, 2B - TB (22%)

Let's not forget we are only two seasons removed from Lowe's 39-homer season in 2021. The poor guy can simply not stay healthy, but we know that he can hit the piss out of the ball when he is.

Lowe still struggles with contact and is a career .244 hitter, but the power that he offers from a middle infield position is unmatched. He's not going to play against lefties, but he hits in the top third of the lineup against righties and has turned it on lately as he scored four runs and drove in six last week.

Ty France, 1B - SEA (17%)

Ugh, France sat out yesterday with a potential heel injury. I grabbed him already in several leagues where I need offense as he's been hitting the ball well now for the last month. You won't get big power numbers from France, but he's making better contact lately and getting solid results. If he's healthy, he is in the lineup every day for Seattle - just keep an eye on this injury, hopefully it's something very minor and France can avoid a trip to the IL.

Jose Siri, OF - TB (16%)

Now here is a guy who many of us were touting in the preseason as a great late-round value. Things didn't pan out for Siri early in the season and he was dropped nearly everywhere. But don't look now - he's making his way back with three home runs and eight RBI over the last ten days.

Siri is still hitting just .194 on the year and like Lowe, you are going to have to deal with the low average in exchange for the potential power. But Siri also brings speed on the basepaths with seven steals already and has swiped 26 bags over the last two seasons.

 

Fantasy Baseball Deep League Hitter Streamers to Consider

Some widely available hitters (under 10% rostered) could be worth a look this week.

Good luck this week and choose those streaming options wisely!
