Samulski, Schiano Highlight Under-40% Waiver Adds Led by Noelvi Marte at 34%

3 articles · Updated · NBC Sports · Jun 5

Summary

  • Noelvi Marte, rostered in 34% of Yahoo leagues, headlines this week’s fantasy baseball waiver targets after Cincinnati recalled the 24-year-old following a .369/.409/.575 Triple-A stretch.
  • The weekly guide focuses on players available in at least 60% of leagues, flagging adds driven by recent production, role changes or call-ups rather than raw trendiness.
  • Carson Benge, Curtis Mead, Keibert Ruiz and Spencer Horwitz were among the top hitter recommendations after strong May production, while Sam Antonacci and Jake McCarthy stood out for speed and lineup value.
  • Jacob Latz led the pitching section with a 2.00 ERA and eight saves, with Dustin May, Troy Melton and Christian Scott also recommended as usable starters based on improved form or favorable schedules.
  • James Schiano now updates the waiver column each Sunday after Eric Samulski’s Friday edition, aiming to keep fantasy managers current on fast-moving roster opportunities.
