Welcome back RotoBallers to our fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 11 -- June 5 through June 11. May is in the books as we turn the calendar page toward June. More top prospects are being called up to the big leagues, and some are producing for fantasy managers immediately. Jordan Walker, Royce Lewis, Ben Joyce, A.J. Smith-Shawver, Bryan Woo, Andrew Abbott, Elly De La Cruz, and Jonny DeLuca were recently promoted. Jordan Westburg, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, and Ronny Mauriciocontinue to rake in the minors. At the same time, Gavin Williams, Ben Brown, and Emmet Sheehan have pitched well and are patiently waiting for a promotion to the majors.
Fantasy managers might have some injured stars return soon, such as Cleveland Guardians right-hander Triston McKenzie (shoulder), who is set to make his season debut on Sunday. The Texas Rangers activated utility man Ezequiel Duran (oblique) from the injured list on Saturday. Notable injury notes include Wander Franco (hamstring), Byron Buxton (ribs), Carlos Correa (heel), Amed Rosario (knee), Gunnar Henderson (back), Luke Raley (side), and Zach Neto (foot) being considered day-to-day. Justin Steele (forearm), Joey Gallo (hamstring), and TJ Friedl (hamstring) were all placed on the injured list. The ball is flying out of the yard as offenses are heating up. We are here to help sort it all out with our latest waiver wire rankings article.
