Mickey Moniak - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups - icon rotoballer

Welcome back RotoBallers, to another edition of the fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 16 -- July 10 through July 16. The Al-Star break is here, and the first half of the 2023 regular season is officially in the books. More top prospects are being called up to the big leagues, and some are producing for fantasy managers immediately. Colton Cowser, Dominic Canzone, and Oscar Colas were recently promoted. Top prospects such as Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Colt Keith, Landon Knack, Sal Frelick, James Wood, Dominic Canzone, and Grayson Rodriguez are patiently waiting for a promotion to the majors. 

Notable injury notes include Mike Trout (hand), Tommy Edman (wrist), Ke'Bryan Hayes (back), Dansby Swanson (heel), and Brandon Drury (wrist) were placed on the injured list. Bryce Harper (elbow), Tyler Glasnow (hand), Jo Adell (oblique), and Jordan Montgomery (hamstring) 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 Francisco Alvarez, Anthony Volpe, Jarren Duran, Jordan Hicks, Bryan Woo, Tarik Skubal, Will Benson, Colton Cowser, Hunter Harvey, Scott McGough, Mickey Moniak, Dominic Canzone, Tony Kemp, Joey Votto, Oscar Colas, Tommy Kahnle, Dominic Fletcher, Triston Casas, Spencer Torkelson and where they rank, among others.

Week 16 Waiver Wire Roundup for Fantasy Baseball

Just like any other week, we have put together a full assortment of fantasy baseball waiver wire articles. You can see that full roundup below to help prepare you for Sunday night's waiver wire runs for leagues with weekly transactions.

For those who are not familiar, our team's fantasy baseball waiver wire articles get published on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays each week. First up is our closers and saves waiver wire report by David Marcillo, followed by our two-start pitcher streamers article by Pranav Uppalapati, and then the top hitter streamers by Dawn Tepper, released late each week to give you a head start on the week ahead.

For you premium subscribers, you get our overall waiver wire article, compliments of Nick Mariano. These will give you a solid overview of the waiver wire options. RotoBaller's resident points league guru Nick Gaut brings you his weekly points league pickups for hitters.

In addition to these articles, we also dig deeper for each position with individual waiver wire articles: starting pitcher pickups, outfield pickups, 2B and SS pickups, 1B and 3B pickups, deep fantasy hitter pickups, and players to consider dropping.

 

Who To Pickup for Fantasy Baseball Week 16?

Are you looking for a more direct and structured list of prioritized players to add off the waiver wire? This article is the final piece of the weekly waiver wire pickups series. Its goal is to show you our weekly ranking for the relevant waiver wire pickup options, including how to prioritize them for your league (depending on the league size).

So below, you will find the overall rankings list. Below that, each individual position is in priority order. Hopefully, this helps you win your waiver wire this week!
