Mid-week fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 1 (2025). Free-agent hitters and pitchers to add include Kris Bubic, Victor Scott, Tommy Kahnle, Dennis Santana, Anthony Bender.
Even with the 2025 season just getting started, it's never too early to search the waiver wire for players who can boost your fantasy team and account for injury replacements. It's a long season, and fantasy managers must stay on top of the latest injury news, prospect call-ups, and other transactions. At RotoBaller HQ, we are back with our mid-week waiver rankings for Week 1 -- March 31 through April 6 -- to help you stay on top of the waiver wire, especially in leagues that allow daily moves. This edition of waiver wire rankings features Jordan Hicks, Tommy Kahnle, Dennis Santana, Anthony Bender, Jake Mangum, Kris Bubic, Lars Nootbaar, Tommy Kahnle, Shane Baz, Victor Scott II, and Beau Brieske.
There are key performances, prospect promotions, and injuries to watch for this week. The Pirates recently called up top pitching prospect Thomas Harrington on Monday, and he struggled in his MLB debut, allowing six runs on seven hits and four walks with two strikeouts. Tampa Bay Rays infielder Brandon Lowe is off to a hot start, slashing .292/.346/.542 with two homers and six RBI over 26 plate appearances. Atlanta Braves right-hander Reynaldo Lopez will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder and will be out for a while.
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.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups List
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 through our weekly ranking of the relevant waiver-wire pickup options, including how to prioritize them for your league (depending on the league size).
