Hey, RotoBallers, the halfway point of the season is rapidly approaching as the All-Star break is a few weeks away. We are back with our mid-week waiver wire rankings for Week 12 -- June 10 through June 16 -- to help you stay on top of the waiver wire, especially in leagues that allow daily moves. Adael Amador, Hurston Waldrep, Justyn-Henry Malloy, Tyler Locklear, Cade Povich, Max Meyer, and Drew Thorpe were called up to the big leagues. Other top prospects, such as James Wood, Jordan Lawlar, Christian Scott, Shane Baz, and Heston Kjerstad, patiently await the call to the big leagues.
Some notable recent performances and injury notes include Chicago White Sox right-hander Drew Thorpe. The 23-year-old made his MLB debut on Tuesday and allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings against the Seattle Mariners. Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder David Hamilton has been on fire in June, slashing .333/.351/.611 with two home runs, four RBI, six runs, and four stolen bases over 10 games. Milwaukee Brewers rookie outfielder Jackson Chourio is slashing .333/.400/.556 with a home run and three RBI over his last six games. Injuries continue to pile up as Randy Arozarena, Logan O'Hoppe, Jurickson Profar, Yainer Diaz, Joey Ortiz, Taylor Ward, and Bryan Woo are day-to-day with injuries.
This edition features players such as Drew Thorpe, David Hamilton, Jackson Chourio, Cade Povich, Jesus Sanchez, Yimi Garcia, Ceddanne Rafaela, Max Meyer, Jasson Dominguez, Masyn Winn, Hurston Waldrep, Jake Irvin, and Josh Bell. 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. Prospects that are making impacts continue to be called up, so you'll need to be informed. Be sure to stay on top of our weekly waiver wire rankings and turn on MLB news alerts to stay ahead of the curve.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups List
For anyone unfamiliar, we release all sorts of fantasy baseball waiver wire articles every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. 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, 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.
This article will guide you with our weekly ranking for the relevant waiver wire pickup options, including how to prioritize them for your league (depending on the league size). Roster % is from Yahoo leagues.
