Top Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups Following Trade Deadline

The MLB trade deadline has recently passed, prompting a review of fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups that can enhance team performance in specific categories. This week's analysis highlights players who are rostered in fewer than 45% of Yahoo leagues.

Jackson Holliday of the Orioles has been performing well, hitting .450 over the past week and .362 over the last month, despite not hitting a home run recently. Cole Young, a Mariners player, has also excelled, boasting a .448 average over the last week and contributing significantly since moving to the leadoff position.

Other notable mentions include Spencer Horwitz, who has returned from the injured list and is positioned to capitalize on RBI opportunities, and Jake Mangum, who is leading off for the Pirates and has stolen 20 bases this season. Additionally, Walbert Urena has shown impressive performance with a low ERA, while Tyler Mahle has improved since his return from the IL. Erik Miller is expected to take over save opportunities for the Giants, making him a valuable addition for those seeking saves.
