Welcome back RotoBallers, to another edition of the fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 15 -- July 3 through July 9. We have one more week until the All-Star break and are about halfway through the regular season. More top prospects are being called up to the big leagues, and some are producing for fantasy managers immediately. Jordan Westburg and Dominic Fletcher were recently promoted. Top prospects such as Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Colton Cowser, James Wood, Dominic Canzone, and Grayson Rodriguez are patiently waiting for a promotion to the majors.
Fantasy managers might have some injured stars return soon, such as New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (back, forearm), who is expected to make his season debut on July 7 against the Cubs, while Detroit Tigers southpaws Tarik Skubal (elbow) and Eduardo Rodriguez (finger) will return to action this week. Notable injury notes include Shane McClanahan (back) and Royce Lewis (oblique), who were both placed on the injured list. Corbin Carroll (shoulder), Masataka Yoshida (leg), and Jeremy Pena (neck) are considered day-to-day. 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.
This week's waiver wire rankings feature players such as Jordan Westburg, TJ Friedl, Anthony Volpe, Gavin Williams, Will Benson, Brayan Bello, Tommy Pham, Scott McGough, Aroldis Chapman, Will Brennan, Kolby Allard, Dominic Fletcher, Carlos Santana, Clarke Schmidt, Trevor May, Jose Miranda, Garrett Whitlock and where they rank, among others.
