Points League Hitters: Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Baseball for Week 11 (2024)

Jeimer Candelario - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Third Base Draft Sleepers

Nicklaus Gaut's fantasy baseball H2H points league waiver wire hitters to pick up for Week 11 (2024) from June 3 - June 9. Free-agent hitters to add in points leagues.

Welcome RotoBallers to the Week 11 edition of our fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups for hitters. These fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups are for the week of June 3 - June 9, looking at players below ~50% rostered on ESPN or Yahoo.

We'll be doing this points league roundup every week here at RotoBaller because we know points players get neglected and we're here to help. Player values can vary wildly from platform to platform, so we'll make sure to highlight where players are the best and worst fits, with waiver wire targets being evaluated in terms of the different scoring systems on ESPN, Yahoo, CBS, Fantrax, and NFBC.

Position eligibility is taken from Fantrax and players are grouped by their most valuable fantasy position, using a hierarchy of C > 2B > OF > 3B > 1B > SS. Stats and rankings are calculated using games through Saturday, June 1.

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

 

Early Season Waiver Wire Caveats

Roster% Thresholds

We use a combination of Roster% to assess who is in our target pool, relying mostly on Yahoo and ESPN. For some players, you'll notice a wide discrepancy between the two. This is because ESPN's Roster% is heavily weighted by points players, with guys who don't do well in their system (often because of an inflated K% but also sometimes, who really knows?) lagging behind the Yahoo Roster%. For this reason, you'll sometimes see players (especially early) who might make you question my sanity in including them in a waiver wire article but don't worry, it's just a necessary glitch for coverage purposes.

 

First Base Waiver Wire Pickups

Best Choices

Jeimer Candelario, CIN, 1B/3B (Yahoo: 39%, ESPN: 13%) - We're getting to the last call of the proceeding, are we not? Well, if not, we should be - Candelario enters Sunday's action tracking for a fifth-straight top-100ish APR and continues to tear points up after a brutal start to the season. Still widely available but I don't expect he will be for much longer, especially with four games vs LHP in Week 11, against whom he has a .350 wOBA (.344 xwOBA), compared to a .293 wOBA (.255 xwOBA) vs RHP.

Ty France, SEA, 1B (Yahoo: 16%, ESPN: 8%) - France has been on a points tear lately, posting a 42 APR so far in Week 10, after a 135 APR last week, and 59 APR in Week 9. He'll get three left-handers in Week 11, against whom he is slashing .264/.371/.434, with a .360 wOBA (.365 xwOBA) that is a sight better than the .309 wOBA (.309 xwOBA) he's posted vs RHP.

Next Choices

Elehuris Montero, COL, 1B (Yahoo: 2%, ESPN: 1%) - Two percent? One percent? Are we just not paying attention to how productive Montero has been for the past six weeks? The Coloradan has a 65 APR headed into Sunday, his third top-65 rating over the past six periods, and gets a series at home in Week 11 to help him try for number four next week. Montero is a great example of a points asset getting mostly ignored because the roto profile has been ugly.

Josh Bell, MIA, 1B (Yahoo: 28%, ESPN: 30%) - Bell continues staying up to his old points tricks, currently running a 56 APR in Week 10, his second such performance in the past three weeks. He remains what he is - a points-friendly profile with a high floor who will occasionally go off and rack you a top-50 period.

Gavin Sheets, CHW, 1B/OF (Yahoo: 3%, ESPN: 2%) - Gavin Sheets SZN, anyone? Sheets is tracking for his second-straight top-75 APR and can generally be an option in any week where he won't have to deal with the left-handers that mostly kill him. Fortunately, Sheets and the Sox are only scheduled to face one LHP out of six games in Week 11.

Desperate Choices

Nolan Schanuel, LAA, 1B (Yahoo: 4%, ESPN: 2%) - Schanuel has laid an egg in Week 10 but continues to roll out a very points-friendly profile and is only scheduled to see one LHP out of six games in Week 11.

Carlos Santana, MIN, 1B (Yahoo: 7%, ESPN: 5%) - What is Carlos can never die - Santana will be sixty years old and still be capable of giving you a top-100 week if you need it. That's what point gods do. Santana was brutal early in the season but has quietly turned it on for the past month plus, with three top-100 weeks in the last six periods, as well as two top-150 rankings that wouldn't have killed you.

On the IL

 

Second Base Waiver Wire Pickups

Best Choices

Abraham Toro, OAK, 2B/3B (Yahoo: 52%, ESPN: 34%) - Why is Toro still here??? I mean, at least he crossed our Roster% threshold on Yahoo but 34% on ESPN really doesn't make any sense considering that's the platform he's been most valuable on, as a 17% K% and lots of PAs can make you a god in leagues with a full strikeout penalty. With a 77 APR headed into Sunday, Toro is in good position to pull his fourth top-75 period in the past five weeks. Continue ignoring him to your detriment.

Joey Ortiz, MIL, 2B/3B (Yahoo: 43%, ESPN: 14%) - After a down Week 9, Ortiz got right back on the good foot in Week 10, rolling out a 23 APR headed into Sunday after slashing .286/.400/.476 over 25 PA, with seven runs, three RBI, and a stolen base. But more importantly for our purposes, Ortiz's plate discipline continues to shine, as the rookie now has an absurd 15% K% and 13% BB% for the year - making his wide availability on ESPN even sillier, considering he's the #72 hitter on the platform; or about 40 spots higher than he is on every other one.

Next Choices

Davis Schneider, TOR, 2B/OF (Yahoo: 43%, ESPN: 11%) - Schneider has been pretty good for about a month but more importantly, he's been fairly consistent, with a 21 APR in Week 10 and a top-125 ranking for the past four weeks. And while the right-hander won't face any LHP in Toronto's seven upcoming games (BAL, @OAK), that might actually be a good thing for the second-year player, as he's slashed just .209/.294/.465 against them this year.

Dylan Moore, SEA, 2B/SS/OF (Yahoo: 42%, ESPN: 15%) - One of our best choices last week, Moore rewarded me with an absolute stinker in Week 10 (336 APR). But what we said last week remains true; as long as Moore continues to get a bulk of playing time, he'll remain worthy of a roster slot. And the right-hander will be set up for success in Week 11, with the Mariners scheduled to face three LHP in their six games.

Nick Gonzales, PIT, 2B (Yahoo: 35%, ESPN: 11%) - Okay, so we definitely can't ignore my fellow Nick any longer. Gonzales is on his way to a third-straight top-75 week and since being called up on May 8, is slashing .315/.370/.521 over 82 PA, with a fully-stuffed stat line of 3 HR, 11 R, 16 RBI, and 2 SB. Granted, a 15.4% SwStr% doesn't bode well for the future of his current 24% K% but you gotta ride his production until the whiffs catch up with him.

Jonathan India, CIN, 2B (Yahoo: 46%, ESPN: 10%) - India remains frustratingly inconsistent, pulling in his second-straight APR after back-to-back disaster periods (#197, #248) prior to them. But you know what helps you be "consistent"? Three games at Coors, baby.

Desperate Choices

Brendan Donovan, STL, 2B/OF (Yahoo: 31%, ESPN: 18%) - Donovan as a starter might not necessarily be an upgrade to every team in your league but he also shouldn't be so widely available, given his unusable weeks are generally far in between each other. With a top-100 APR for the season and dual eligibility, Donovan remains a good upgrade to your bench even if you don't need him to start.

Brendan Rodgers, COL, 2B (Yahoo: 4%, ESPN: 2%) - Oh my, is that the corpse of Brendan Rodgers starting to stir? Rodgers has a 61 APR in Week 10 after two weeks in the top 150 and will get three games at home in Week 11. Counterpoint: Rodgers has had two other top-75 weeks in 2024, both of which were followed by >200 APRs.

On the IL

  • Jorge Polanco, SEA, 2B (strained hamstring - no timetable)
  • Michael Massey, KC, 2B (strained back - no timetable)
  • Brandon Drury, LAA, 1B/2B (strained hamstring - no timetable)
  • Tommy Edman, STL, 2B/SS/OF (wrist surgery - no timetable)
  • Geraldo Perdomo, ARI, 2B/SS (torn meniscus - rehab assignment)
  • Justin Foscue, TEX, 2B/OF (strained oblique - no timetable)

 

Third Base Waiver Wire Pickups

Best Choices

Jeimer Candelario, CIN, 1B/3B (Yahoo: 39%, ESPN: 13%) - We're getting to the last call of the proceeding, are we not? Well, if not, we should be - Candelario enters Sunday's action tracking for a fifth-straight top-100ish APR and continues to tear points up after a brutal start to the season. Still widely available but I don't expect he will be for much longer, especially with four games vs LHP in Week 11, against whom he has a .350 wOBA (.344 xwOBA), compared to a .293 wOBA (.255 xwOBA) vs RHP.

Tyler Freeman, CLE, 3B/OF (Yahoo: 40%, ESPN: 14%) - Our cover man from last week hasn't disappointed, currently running a 75 APR in Week 10 after slashing .273/.304/.364 over 24 PA, with a 0% K%. Behold, the magic of a low-K's being able to turn suboptimal slash lines into excellent points.

Abraham Toro, OAK, 2B/3B (Yahoo: 52%, ESPN: 34%) - Why is Toro still here??? I mean, at least he crossed our Roster% threshold on Yahoo but 34% on ESPN really doesn't make any sense considering that's the platform he's been most valuable on, as a 17% K% and lots of PAs can make you a god in leagues with a full strikeout penalty. With a 77 APR headed into Sunday, Toro is in good position to pull his fourth top-75 period in the past five weeks. Continue ignoring him to your detriment.

Will Castro, MIN, 3B/SS/OF (Yahoo: 61%, ESPN: 19%) - I know he's only widely available on one platform but even with a 25% K%, Castro still has a top-100 APR on ESPN (top-75 on CBS, Yahoo, and Fantrax) and I'm just not going to shut up about his value until his Roster% rises. He's also back to being hot right now after a dip in Week 8 (#242) - Castro has a 62 APR over the past two weeks, and went #13, #8, and #66 in the three periods preceding that aforementioned Week 8 dud.

Joey Ortiz, MIL, 2B/3B (Yahoo: 43%, ESPN: 14%) - After a down Week 9, Ortiz got right back on the good foot in Week 10, rolling out a 23 APR headed into Sunday after slashing .286/.400/.476 over 25 PA, with seven runs, three RBI, and a stolen base. But more importantly for our purposes, Ortiz's plate discipline continues to shine, as the rookie now has an absurd 15% K% and 13% BB% for the year - making his wide availability on ESPN even sillier, considering he's the #72 hitter on the platform; or about 40 spots higher than he is on every other one.

Next Choices

Jose Miranda, MIN, 3B (Yahoo: 4%, ESPN: 2%) - Yes, the same Jose Miranda you remember. Except this version of Miranda has been on a quiet tear for over a month now. Don't believe me? Well, Miranda has 75 APR so far in Week 10, which if it holds, would be his fourth top-100 period out of the last five, with a 253 APR in Week 8 being his only real dud since his playing time ticked up. Since the start of May, Miranda has started 26-of-29 games, including the last 16, slashing .270/.305/.416 over 95 PA, with 3 HR, 15 R, and 12 RBI. But much (much!) more importantly to his points value, Miranda is still rolling out an elite 15% K% that has been a keystone of his MLB profile. Looking a lot like the good version we saw in 2022, and little of the disaster that was eventually demoted in 2023. The 2022 Miranda had a bright future in points and 2024 Jose is doing his best to get back in our good graces.

Edmundo Sosa, PHI, 3B/SS (Yahoo: 24%, ESPN: 6%) - Sosa is on his way to a fourth-straight week with a top-125 APR but the veteran is hard to rely on given his previous history of streakiness. But even given that and with only five games in Week 11, Sosa is an intriguing lottery ticket, as three of those five games are scheduled vs LHP. Why's that, you say? In 46 PA vs LHP this season, Sosa is slashing .350/.435/.775, with a .503 woba (.427 xwOBA), 20% K%, and 11% BB%. Compare that to RHP, where Sosa is slashing .269/.321/.423, with a .329 wOBA (.335 xwOBA), 35% K%, and 3% BB%...One of these point profiles is not like the other, one of these profiles does not belong (in your starting lineup).

Desperate Choices

Josh Smith, TEX, 3B/SS/OF (Yahoo: 33%, ESPN: 14%) - Smith has turned things around in Week 10 after back-to-back duds but don't get too excited as the Rangers will face LHP in three of their six games. Granted, Smith has a .317 AVG and .353 wOBA vs LHP this season but those numbers feel a lot less solid considering the .464 BABIP, .238 xBA, and .291 xwOBA that are behind them.

On the IL

  • Anthony Rendon, LAA, 3B (strained hamstring - no timetable)
  • Yoan Moncada, CHW, 3B (strained groin - likely out until All-Star break)
  • Jon Berti, NYY, 3B/SS (strained calf - no timetable)

 

Shortstop Waiver Wire Pickups

Best Choices

Will Castro, MIN, 3B/SS/OF (Yahoo: 61%, ESPN: 19%) - I know he's only widely available on one platform but even with a 25% K%, Castro still has a top-100 APR on ESPN (top-75 on CBS, Yahoo, and Fantrax) and I'm just not going to shut up about his value until his Roster% rises. He's also back to being hot right now after a dip in Week 8 (#242) - Castro has a 62 APR over the past two weeks, and went #13, #8, and #66 in the three periods preceding that aforementioned Week 8 dud.

Next Choices

Edmundo Sosa, PHI, 3B/SS (Yahoo: 24%, ESPN: 6%) - Sosa is on his way to a fourth-straight week with a top-125 APR but the veteran is hard to rely on given his previous history of streakiness. But even given that and with only five games in Week 11, Sosa is an intriguing lottery ticket, as three of those five games are scheduled vs LHP. Why's that, you say? In 46 PA vs LHP this season, Sosa is slashing .350/.435/.775, with a .503 woba (.427 xwOBA), 20% K%, and 11% BB%. Compare that to RHP, where Sosa is slashing .269/.321/.423, with a .329 wOBA (.335 xwOBA), 35% K%, and 3% BB%...One of these point profiles is not like the other, one of these profiles does not belong (in your starting lineup).

Dylan Moore, SEA, 2B/SS/OF (Yahoo: 42%, ESPN: 15%) - One of our best choices last week, Moore rewarded me with an absolute stinker in Week 10 (336 APR). But what we said last week remains true; as long as Moore continues to get a bulk of playing time, he'll remain worthy of a roster slot. And the right-hander will be set up for success in Week 11, with the Mariners scheduled to face three LHP in their six games.

J.P. Crawford, SEA, SS (Yahoo: 27%, ESPN: 45%) - Crawford has gotten back up to his old tricks, posting a 23 APR in Week 10 after a 152 APR in his return from the IL last period. He hasn't been the points star in 2024 as he was in 2023 but Week 11 should be a good opportunity to keep things going back in the right direction, as the Mariners are scheduled to face left-handers in three of their six games. In 2024, Crawford is slashing .324/.405/.514, with a 12% K% and 12% BB% vs LHP, compared to a .177/.273/.313, with a 25% K% and 11% BB% vs RHP.

Ceddanne Rafaela, BOS, SS/OF (Yahoo: 32%, ESPN: 7%) - Everyone be very, very quiet - we wouldn't want to spook him. Rafaela was trending up after a high mark of #12 in Week 5 but followed that up by averaging a 246 APR over the next three weeks. Blech. But the bright side to all that bad was him being widely dropped, allowing you some daylight if you want to bet on the come and scoop him up now after back-to-back top-50ish weeks. Buyer beware, though - Rafaela and his .239 OBP, 27% K%, and 3% BB% still isn't very points friendly and a lot of his value this year has come from compiling his way to 28 R and 33 RBI.

Desperate Choices

Zach Neto, LAA, SS (Yahoo: 18%, ESPN: 5%) - Neto has laid an egg so far in Week 10 (207 APR but don't let recency bias get you too far down on him. Don't forget that prior to this week, Neto had five straight weeks of top-100 APRs, with all but one coming in the top-75. But do temper your expectations in Week 11, with only one of the Angels games scheduled vs a lefthander - Neto is slashing .457/.472/.629 vs LHP but just .204/.265/.357 vs RHP.

Josh Smith, TEX, 3B/SS/OF (Yahoo: 33%, ESPN: 14%) - Smith has turned things around in Week 10 after back-to-back duds but don't get too excited as the Rangers will face LHP in three of their six games. Granted, Smith has a .317 AVG and .353 wOBA vs LHP this season but those numbers feel a lot less solid considering the .464 BABIP, .238 xBA, and .291 xwOBA that are behind them.

On the IL

  • Jon Berti, NYY, 3B/SS (strained calf - no timetable)
  • Geraldo Perdomo, ARI, 2B/SS (torn meniscus - rehab assignment)
  • Tommy Edman, STL, 2B/SS/OF (wrist surgery - no timetable)
  • Trevor Story, BOS, SS (dislocated shoulder - no timetable)
  • Nick Ahmed, SF, SS (sprained wrist - rehab assignment)

 

Outfielder Waiver Wire Pickups

Best Choices

Tyler Freeman, CLE, 3B/OF (Yahoo: 40%, ESPN: 14%) - Our cover man from last week hasn't disappointed, currently running a 75 APR in Week 10 after slashing .273/.304/.364 over 24 PA, with a 0% K%. Behold, the magic of a low-K's being able to turn suboptimal slash lines into excellent points.

J.J. Bleday, OAK, OF (Yahoo: 22%, ESPN: 19%) - We've been talking about Bleday this season but his Roster% refuses to budge much, but maybe it will after he finishes off yet another top-100 APR in Week 10, his fourth time doing so in the past five weeks. Bleday plays a whole lot, doesn't strike out much (19% K%) and walks more than his fair share (10% BB%). Say it with me now...That's a recipe for compiling your way to point league success.

Will Castro, MIN, 3B/SS/OF (Yahoo: 61%, ESPN: 19%) - I know he's only widely available on one platform but even with a 25% K%, Castro still has a top-100 APR on ESPN (top-75 on CBS, Yahoo, and Fantrax) and I'm just not going to shut up about his value until his Roster% rises. He's also back to being hot right now after a dip in Week 8 (#242) - Castro has a 62 APR over the past two weeks, and went #13, #8, and #66 in the three periods preceding that aforementioned Week 8 dud.

Next Choices

Dylan Moore, SEA, 2B/SS/OF (Yahoo: 42%, ESPN: 15%) - One of our best choices last week, Moore rewarded me with an absolute stinker in Week 10 (336 APR). But what we said last week remains true; as long as Moore continues to get a bulk of playing time, he'll remain worthy of a roster slot. And the right-hander will be set up for success in Week 11, with the Mariners scheduled to face three LHP in their six games.

Gavin Sheets, CHW, 1B/OF (Yahoo: 3%, ESPN: 2%) - Gavin Sheets SZN, anyone? Sheets is tracking for his second-straight top-75 APR and can generally be an option in any week where he won't have to deal with the left-handers that mostly kill him. Fortunately, Sheets and the Sox are only scheduled to face one LHP out of six games in Week 11.

Ceddanne Rafaela, BOS, SS/OF (Yahoo: 32%, ESPN: 7%) - Everyone be very, very quiet - we wouldn't want to spook him. Rafaela was trending up after a high mark of #12 in Week 5 but followed that up by averaging a 246 APR over the next three weeks. Blech. But the bright side to all that bad was him being widely dropped, allowing you some daylight if you want to bet on the come and scoop him up now after back-to-back top-50ish weeks. Buyer beware, though - Rafaela and his .239 OBP, 27% K%, and 3% BB% still isn't very points friendly and a lot of his value this year has come from compiling his way to 28 R and 33 RBI.

Jesse Winker, WSH, OF (Yahoo: 24%, ESPN: 11%) - What in the wide world of sports is going on??? I'm not saying that because Winker has a 36 APR in Week 10 after an 86 APR in Week 9 - no, I'm saying it because he's gotten there via his newfound wheels., collecting five stolen bases in his last eight games, giving him 10 SB for the season. For reference, Winker has a total of 3 SB in 610 games between 2017-2023.

Max Kepler, MIN, OF (Yahoo: 39%, ESPN: 22%) - It just goes to show you that most of the time you can only trust a German about as far as you can throw him*. Kepler has now turned in brutal scores in two of the past three weeks after returning from the IL red-hot for three weeks. The good news is that he'll have a chance to get back on track in a week where the Twins are only scheduled to face one LHP in their six games.

*Narrator: But the author is, in fact, also a German and of a mass unlikely to be thrown very far by anyone not named Magnus.

Desperate Choices

Tommy Pham, OF, CHW (Yahoo: 17%, ESPN: 9%) - Now y'all did it - Tommy Pham does not take disrespect lightly and after being ignored for four weeks of hotness he likely decided to tank Week 10 in order to teach all of the latecomers a lesson. Week 11 is obviously a loyalty test - those who toe the line will be rewarded, but those who drop and run will be hunted down and slapped. Sorry, but this is just how Tommy Town rolls; I don't make the rules.

Charlie Blackmon, COL, OF (Yahoo: 7%, ESPN: 7%) - Old man walking! Okay, to be fair, the old man in the thin air doesn't do a lot of walking anymore (8% BB%) but can still compile his way to points relevance when he's actually healthy. With two top-50 APRs in the past four weeks (and two top-16ish APRs that weren't a total disaster) and a series in Coors on the books, Blackmon can be your fill-in huckleberry.

Brendan Donovan, STL, 2B/OF (Yahoo: 31%, ESPN: 18%) - Donovan as a starter might not necessarily be an upgrade to every team in your league but he also shouldn't be so widely available, given his unusable weeks are generally far in between each other. With a top-100 APR for the season and dual eligibility, Donovan remains a good upgrade to your bench even if you don't need him to start.

Josh Smith, TEX, 3B/SS/OF (Yahoo: 33%, ESPN: 14%) - Smith has turned things around in Week 10 after back-to-back duds but don't get too excited as the Rangers will face LHP in three of their six games. Granted, Smith has a .317 AVG and .353 wOBA vs LHP this season but those numbers feel a lot less solid considering the .464 BABIP, .238 xBA, and .291 xwOBA that are behind them.

On the IL

  • Michael Conforto, SF, OF (strained hamstring - rehab assignment)
  • Lars Nootbaar, STL, OF (strained oblique - no timetable)
  • Esteury Ruiz, OAK, OF (strained wrist - no timetable)
  • Tommy Edman, STL, 2B/SS/OF (wrist surgery - no timetable)
  • LaMonte Wade Jr., SF, 1B/OF (strained hamstring - no timetable)
  • Alek Thomas, ARI, OF (strained hamstring - no timetable)
  • Justin Foscue, TEX, 2B/OF (strained oblique - no timetable)
  • Austin Slater, SF, OF (concussion - rehab assignment)
  • Avisail Garcia, MIA, OF (strained hamstring - no timetable)

 

Catcher Waiver Wire Pickups

Best Choices

Elias Diaz, COL, C (Yahoo: 38%, ESPN: 13%) - If all else fails in a week light on waiver-wire catchers, maybe take the guy who will play three games on the moon? The Rockies have three games at Coors against the Reds and Diaz is slashing .301/.343/.430  at home - that sounds like a love match, Chuck. Even if his 123 wRC+ on the road is actually quite a bit higher than the 88 wRC+ he's rocking at home. But trust the process; AKA stream players hitting in a zero-g environment.

Next Choices

Danny Jansen, TOR, C (Yahoo: 24%, ESPN: 12%) - Just when I was letting him back into my heart, Jansen puts up a pumpkin in Week 10 (273 APR) - that tracks. But the underlying numbers are still good, as a catcher with pop but also a 16% K% and 12% BB% tend to do well in points.

Shea Langeliers, OAK, C (Yahoo: 42%, ESPN: 19%) - Langeliers scuffled in Week 9 but has put up a respectable (for a catcher) 131 APR in Week 10 and continues to carry the improved plate discipline that has lifted his overall points value. But he'll only see one LHP in Week 11 and has tough pitching matchups against Seattle and Toronto.

Desperate Choices

Connor Wong, BOS, C (Yahoo: 32%, ESPN: 10%) - Outside of a two-week burst in late-April, Wong has mostly been empty points. He's there if you need him as a injury replacement band-aid but don't expect much more.
