Welcome back RotoBallers to another edition of the fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 25 -- September 11 through September 17. There are three weeks left in the regular season, and now is time to research and add players off the waiver wire that can help secure a fantasy title.
More top prospects are being called up to the big leagues, and some are producing for fantasy managers immediately. Last Friday, the Texas Rangers promoted top outfield prospect Evan Carter, while the Arizona Diamondbacks called up top infield prospect Jordan Lawlar. He went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in his MLB debut. Top prospects such as Colt Keith, Justyn-Henry Malloy, Robert Gasser, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Matt Mervis, Austin Shenton, and Gavin Stone patiently await the call to the big leagues.
Notable injury notes include Luis Severino (oblique), who has been ruled out for the season after suffering a high-grade oblique strain during his previous start. Shohei Ohtani (oblique), Noelvi Marte (face), Ketel Marte (knee), Christian Yelich (back), Mookie Betts (foot), and Mickey Moniak (back) are considered day-to-day. Reinforcements are coming as Josh Jung (thumb) could return from the injured list by Friday, while Jonathan India and Joey Votto both began rehab assignments. 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 Nolan Jones, Ronny Mauricio, J.P. Crawford, Evan Carter, Anthony Volpe, Tanner Scott, Jordan Wicks, Tommy Pham, Taj Bradley, and Jordan Lawlar and where they rank, among others. Read more to see where these players rank in the waiver wire rankings for Week 25.
