Welcome back, RotoBallers, to more waiver wire advice. We are two months into the season, and it's time for fantasy managers to closely monitor their teams as we are about a month away from the All-Star break. Here at Rotoballer HQ, we are here to help you prioritize which players to pick up with our mid-week waiver wire rankings for Week 11 -- June 3 through June 9 -- to help you stay on top of the waiver wire, especially in leagues that allow daily moves. The Baltimore Orioles called up top pitching prospect Cade Povich from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, and he will make his MLB debut against the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday. Other top prospects, such as Jasson Dominguez, Jordan Lawlar, Heston Kjerstad, Addison Barger, and Dylan Crews, patiently await the call to the big leagues.
Some notable recent performances and injury notes include Milwaukee Brewers infielder Joey Ortiz, hitting .370 (10-for-27) with three RBI, five walks, and two stolen bases over his previous eight games. Toronto Blue Jays infielder/outfielder Davis Schneider is slashing .263/.326/.500 with two home runs, eight RBI, and five runs scored across his last nine games. San Diego Padres right-hander Matt Waldron owns a sparkling 1.84 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and a 35:6 K: BB across 29 1/3 innings over his five starts. Injuries continue to pile up as Kyle Tucker, Corey Seager, Christopher Morel, Jarred Kelenic, and Manny Machado are all day-to-day with injuries.
This edition features players such as Cade Povich, Davis Schneider, Joey Ortiz, Ty France, Matt Waldron, Henry Davis, Jonathan India, Alec Burleson, Ryan Weathers, Heliot Ramos, Jake Irvin, Yimi Garcia, Jeff Hoffman, and Kyle Manzardo. 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.
