Week 19 Waiver Wire Rankings - Triston Casas, Erik Swanson, Nick Pivetta, Trevor Story, Zack Gelof, Marco Luciano, more

Fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 19 of the 2023 MLB season. These are free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.

Welcome back RotoBallers, to another edition of the fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 19 -- July 31 through August 6. The MLB trade deadline is Monday, and we will see more significant roster shakeups, such as the Rangers acquiring ace Max Scherzer from the Mets on Saturday. Many roles could change or open up as teams make roster moves geared toward a World Series run.

More top prospects are being called up to the big leagues, and some are producing for fantasy managers immediately. The Giants called up  Marco Luciano, who is hitting.333 (3-for-9) with a double since making his MLB debut on Wednesday. Luisangel Acuna, the younger brother of star Ronald Acuna Jr., was the prospect the Mets received in return for Scherzer. Acuna is slashing .323/.384/.472 with eight home runs and 42 steals in 84 games at Double-A.

Notable injury notes include Nathan Eovaldi (elbow), Jonathan India (heel), Zach Eflin (knee), Mookie Betts (ankle), Taylor Ward (head), and Zach Neto (back) being considered day-to-day. Jordan Romano (back) was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday. Reinforcements are coming as Trevor Story (elbow), Brandon Woodruff (shoulder), Jazz Chisholm Jr., and Nestor Cortes Jr. are close to returning to action. 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.
