Outfield Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2 (2025)

Matt Wallner - fantasy baseball draft sleepers DFS MLB injury news

Frank's outfield fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups for Week 2 of 2025 (April 7 through April 13). Consider adding and streaming these free-agent outfielders.

Welcome to our Week 2 fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups for outfielders. This covers the period from April 7 through April 13 for the 2025 MLB season.

On this page, you'll find roster percentages from Yahoo! leagues. Outfielders rostered in fewer than 50% of standard leagues and sub-10% in deeper leagues are included as our recommendations. Some players may be in this article for multiple weeks if their rostered percentage still meets these thresholds.

The focus of each pick is a mix of both long-term and short-term value. We'll look at recent performance and upcoming schedule to help determine the waiver wire outfielders. With that in mind, let's dive into the Week 3 outfielder waiver wire pickups for the 2025 fantasy baseball season.

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

 

Outfield Waiver Wire Adds - Standard Leagues

Victor Scott II, St. Louis Cardinals (45% Rostered)

Victor Scott II needs to be rostered in more leagues. Heading into Saturday's action, the Cardinals' centerfielder is slashing .308/.367/.462 with one home run and four stolen bases. It bodes well for Scott to see improvements in both walk rate (10.0%) and strikeout rate (20.0%) so far. You also have to like how he's been in the lineup for every game of the season so far. There's 50+ stolen base upside here, so make sure to pick up Scott immediately if he's still available in your league.

Victor Robles, Seattle Mariners (42% Rostered)

Victor Robles is off to a slow start, slashing .229/.243/.314 on the season. But there are reasons for optimism here. For one, Robles had a phenomenal second half for the Mariners last year, putting up four home runs and 30 stolen bases in only 77 games. That kind of performance deserves your patience. Secondly, we're seeing signs that Robles is about to break out of his slump, as he's hit safely in six consecutive games coming into April 5. That includes his first steal of the season. It's also encouraging to see Robles bat leadoff in each game so far.

Byron Buxton, Minnesota Twins (40% Rostered)

Byron Buxton is one of the most injury-prone players in the league, but when he's healthy, he deserves to be rostered in more than 40% of leagues. What's most encouraging about Buxton so far is the aggressiveness on the base paths, including two steals in his last two games. This comes after a season where the veteran swiped only seven bags in 102 games. This is a telling sign that Buxton is feeling healthier this year. While we can't count on him to avoid the injured list all year, we need to ride the wave when he's on the field.

Jung Hoo Lee, San Francisco Giants (26% Rostered)

Jung Hoo Lee has gotten off to a solid start for the Giants, putting up seven runs and two steals in six games. The two stolen bases are intriguing, especially since he matched last season's total in 31 fewer games. It's not surprising to see Hoo Lee run more in his second season in the big leagues, as he has 79th-percentile sprint speed, per Baseball Savant. The Giants' outfielder has been a fixture in the three-spot, allowing him to continue to rack up counting stats. While there's not much power, Hoo Lee will be an asset in batting average while chipping in some steals.

Matt Wallner, Minnesota Twins (21% Rostered)

Matt Wallner hasn't homered yet, which is disappointing because power is his strong suit. But there's a good chance that he'll get on track this week. The Twins have seven games on the schedule, six of which are against right-handed pitchers. Wallner posted a 171 wRC+ against righties last season, so we could see some strong production. It also helps that Wallner is firmly entrenched as the leadoff hitter for the Twins, giving him plenty of opportunities to rack up counting stats.

 

Outfield Waiver Wire Adds - Deeper Leagues

Sal Frelick, Milwaukee Brewers (7% Rostered)

Sal Frelick is in this article for the second straight week for a few reasons. For one, he's played every game heading into Saturday, hitting safely in six of eight matchups while batting fifth each time. We've also seen Frelick steal a base in two consecutive games, so there's a bit of a speed boost provided here. On top of that, the Brewers head to Coors Field for three games this week, which could allow Frelick to compile stats in this hitter-friendly environment. While the power is nonexistent, you can ride with Frelick for a batting average boost.

Heston Kjerstad, Baltimore Orioles (7% Rostered)

Since Colton Cowser (thumb) was placed on the injured list, Heston Kjerstad suited up in three of four games. This is a touted prospect who hit 16 home runs in only 62 games in the minor leagues last season. The 26-year-old has been consistently blocked because the Orioles have a deep roster, but he finally has an opportunity here. Perhaps we can see Kjerstad make the most of it, so give him a shot for his power upside. The O's have six games, five against righties, which bodes well for their left-handed hitter.

Max Kepler, Philadelphia Phillies (5% Rostered)

Max Kepler has played seven of eight games for the Phillies heading into Saturday's action. This includes five games in the five-spot, which is great news in a stacked Phillies lineup, giving Kepler more chances to rack up RBI. While the Phillies only get righties in four of six games this week, Kepler has mostly been in the lineup vs southpaws, so you can still fire him up for this week due to his favorable team context as a five-hitter in a strong offense. There may be some long-term appeal for the veteran, who had 24 homers as recently as 2023.

Trevor Larnach, Minnesota Twins (3% Rostered)

The appeal with Trevor Larnach is similar to his teammate Wallner, listed above. This is a strong-side platoon bat who gets six righties this week. Larnach put up a 124 wRC+ against right-handers last year (64 wRC+ vs lefties). We've seen him suit up for seven of eight games this season, each in the cleanup spot. While the results haven't been there yet, you must love that he's a fixture in such a run-producing spot in the lineup. Better days are ahead for Larnach.

Miguel Vargas, Chicago White Sox (3% Rostered)

Miguel Vargas hasn't had the results you want to see yet, but he's included in this article for the second straight week because of the underlying metrics. Heading into Saturday, Vargas has put up a 92.2 MPH average exit velocity, which ranks in the 77th percentile, per Baseball Savant. The former Dodger has also posted an impressive 10.3% walk rate while batting leadoff in five of eight games. If you're in a deeper league, I'd still be patient with Vargas, especially if it's an OBP format.
