Welcome RotoBallers to our mid-week fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings list for Week 16 - July 3 through July 9 to help you stay on top of the waiver wire, especially in leagues that allow daily moves. Baltimore Orioles top prospect Colton Cowser made his MLB debut on July 5. Cowser went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in his first career big league game. While Cowser made his big league debut, top prospects such as Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Landon Knack, Oswald Peraza, Matt Mervis, Dominic Canzone, Colt Keith, Grayson Rodriguez, and Ronny Mauricio patiently wait their turn for the call to the big leagues.
New York Yankees rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe has recently found his groove at the plate. The 22-year-old is slashing .432/.447/.703 with two home runs, three RBI, 10 runs, and a stolen base over his last 10 games. The Los Angeles Angels recalled Jo Adell from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday. He hit started in left field and hit cleanup, going 1-for-4 with an RBI double in Wednesday's loss to the Padres. Cincinnati Reds outfielder Will Benson is quietly hitting .385 (10-for-26) with three extra-base hits, three RBI, and three stolen bases over his last seven games. Alek Manoah, demoted in early June, will return to the big leagues on Friday against the Tigers.
This week's waiver wire rankings feature players such as Colton Cowser, Anthony Volpe, Jo Adell, Will Benson, Scott McGough, Tarik Skubal, Oscar Colas, Alek Manoah, Michael Soroka, Hunter Harvey, Kolby Allard, Luke Raley, Tommy Pham, Triston Casas, rank among others. We're here, as always, to help you stay on top of the latest waiver wire options, especially in leagues that allow for daily moves.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups List
For anyone who isn't familiar, every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, we release all sorts of fantasy baseball waiver wire articles. As part of that, Nick Mariano releases our waiver wire rankings list on Sundays to help you prioritize which players to target as free agent adds off waivers.
In addition to that, we are also putting out a second waiver wire rankings list mid-week. Since many fantasy baseball leagues have daily waiver wire moves or multiple waiver wire runs per week for adding players, this mid-week rankings list should help you keep track of players emerging in the middle of the week before we reach Sunday.
Below you will see our list of waiver wire pickups in our prioritized order. There should be waiver wire recommendations here for all sorts of league sizes, along with the position(s) for the player and the rostered percentages.
