Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups For Fantasy Baseball - Week 13

Luke Raley - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB News

Kevin Hickey's fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups for outfielders and Week 13 of the 2023 MLB season. Consider adding and streaming these free agent hitters.

This article will discuss fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups for the outfield in Week 13 -- June 19 through June 25. Whether your team is derailed by injuries or you’re simply ready to give up on your draft day darlings, navigating the waiver wire will be crucial to finding long-term success in fantasy baseball. 

As we move through the season, trends fluctuate, and we must learn to react on the fly. When it comes to hot streaks, you have to act fast or you may miss out. This set of outfield-eligible players may not all have the longest track records, or their success could be considered unsustainable. However, you have to take risks early in the season in order to uncover your breakout stars. It will already be too late if you wait until these names are established. 

Names listed are in order of roster percentage, not confidence ranking. Position eligibility and roster percentage are based on Yahoo!, so check your leagues for availability! 

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

 

Outfield Waiver Wire Adds - Standard Leagues

Luke Raley, Tampa Bay Rays - 37% Rostered

Raley has been a fixture on this list for most of the season, and he continues to put up impressive numbers. Through 54 games, he is slashing .270/.350/.597 with 12 home runs and eight stolen bases. Raley's only discernible downside at the moment is that the Rays generally keep him out of the lineup against left-handed pitching. Still, he's left with the strong side of the platoon and is producing whenever he does get an opportunity. 

Looking under the hood, Raley's advanced numbers suggest he will continue to rake. He ranks in the 95th percentile or better with each of his .585 xSLG, 93.1 mph average exit velocity, 53.4% hard-hit rate, 21.4% barrel rate, and .395 xwOBA. Additionally, Raley has hit left-handed pitching well when given the chance, so there is a route to an everyday role in the future.

Luis Matos, San Francisco Giants - 34% Rostered

Matos is the hottest waiver wire pickup at the moment. The 21-year-old is the Giants' fourth-ranked prospect and received his first call-up earlier this week. His promotion followed the loss of Mitch Haniger to the injured list, opening up a slot in San Francisco's outfield. With Haniger shelved for at least two months, Matos should receive an extended opportunity to cement his stay at the major league level.

Through 24 games in Triple-A this season, Matos posted a phenomenal .398/.435/.685 slash line with seven home runs and six stolen bases. It remains to be seen how his game will translate to the next level, but Matos possesses one of the highest ceilings of anyone available on the waiver wire right now.

Ryan Noda, Oakland Athletics - 17% Rostered

In a largely subpar Oakland lineup, Noda continues to produce, hitting from the two-hole. He's carrying an impressive .838 OPS with seven home runs and 13 doubles through 67 games played. Though he wasn't a particularly heralded prospect before this season, Noda produced back-to-back 25-plus home run campaigns in the minors over the last two years. His production isn't a big surprise.

Noda's underlying numbers suggest he can continue to perform. He sports a strong .360 xwOBA, 91.6 mph average exit velocity, 46.1% hard-hit rate, and 13.9% barrel rate. Noda's .220 xBA tells us he's unlikely to see a big batting average spike, but his plate discipline more than compensates for it. Noda ranks second among all hitters with an outstanding 19.4% walk rate.

Ryan O'Hearn, Baltimore Orioles - 12% Rostered

With Ryan Mountcastle moved to the injured list, Ryan O'Hearn becomes the beneficiary. He's been playing every day over the past week and making the most of the opportunity. O'Hearn may be more a streaming option than a long-term asset, depending on how his playing time adapts to Mountcastle's inevitable return.

Overall, O'Hearn is slashing .338/.381/.623 with five home runs and seven doubles through 27 games played. That includes a phenomenal .286 ISO and 175 wRC+. There's enough reason to doubt his ability to keep producing at this rate. O'Hearn isn't some new prospect; he's been a below-average offensive contributor for the bulk of his major league career dating back to 2018. Still, he's hitting in the heart of a formidable Baltimore offense and is worth a flier for the moment.

 

Outfield Waiver Wire Adds - Deeper Leagues

Nick Pratto, Kansas City Royals - 9% Rostered

If you keep up with this list on a weekly basis, you've seen Pratto's name here before. His ceiling isn't terribly flashy, but he is a consistent contributor from the leadoff spot in Kansas City's lineup. Additionally, the Royals recently lost Vinnie Pasquantino for the season, cementing the need for Pratto's left-handed swing atop their batting order.

On the season, Pratto is slashing .285/.372/.424 with four home runs through 45 games played. His advanced metrics are mostly middling, so it's hard to envision a proper breakout coming down the pipeline anytime soon. Still, Pratto flashed more prolific power numbers in the minor leagues, suggesting his four-home run total may have more room to grow.

Jesus Sanchez, Miami Marlins - 7% Rostered

A week ago, Sanchez was picking up steam as a blossoming fantasy asset, but a subsequent slump has seen his ownership dip back down to single digits. Still, he carries a strong .270/.350/.492 slash line with six home runs through 45 games played. He's hitting in the heart of an improved Miami Marlins lineup, and his peripherals look encouraging.

Sanchez's advanced numbers suggest he can produce at a level that outpaces his current popularity. He sports an outstanding .501 xSLG, .378 xwOBA, .292 xBA, and 12% barrel rate. We should expect his production to start trending upward again and likely his fantasy ownership thereafter. Sanchez hits for power and average, and his ceiling is high.

Mickey Moniak, Los Angeles Angels - 5% Rostered

Moniak's role with the Angels is a little tricky to figure out. When Los Angeles initially called him up, he appeared to have a near-everyday role, or at least a strong side platoon alongside the struggling bat of Taylor Ward. Ward has since rediscovered his swing, and Moniak found himself riding the bench for consecutive games, including against right-handed pitchers.

Over the past week, Moniak has seemingly reclaimed a regular starting role against right-handed pitching. We can cautiously expect him to be in the lineup more often than not going forward.

When Moniak does play, his production has been outstanding. He sports an impressive .309/.333/.642 slash line with six home runs through 23 games played. The sustainability of his current success is unknown, but he is a former top draft pick and has a reputation for crushing minor-league pitching. Moniak's game may finally be realizing its potential. Assuming he can get consistent playing time going forward, Moniak is very undervalued at the moment.
