We are nearing the end of this week’s waiver-wire calendar, yet there are still exciting promotions to discuss. Recently, the Toronto Blue Jays announced the call-up of Trey Yesavage, their first-round pick from last year’s draft. Yesavage is expected to start against the Rays on Monday, marking his MLB debut. This situation could present a valuable opportunity for fantasy players looking for additions this week.

Currently, Yesavage is confirmed for a single start, but there’s potential for a second start by the weekend against the Kansas City Royals. This could be a manageable matchup for a talented young pitcher. In his inaugural pro season, Yesavage has achieved a 3.12 ERA and impressive strikeout rates, maintaining a striking 37.3% strikeout rate across Double-A and Triple-A levels.

However, even promising prospects may not succeed, as shown by other players like Nolan McLean, who emerged as a significant fantasy contributor, while players like Jonah Tong and Payton Tolle have had limited influences despite their theoretical potential.

Thus, while Yesavage benefits from an excellent team backing him, his first start offers uncertain outcomes, but he is worth considering for those aiming to find a streamer for the week.

Here are other potential additions for Week 26:

Catcher

• Kyle Teel (White Sox 45%) – Teel is strengthening his credentials for 2026 rankings as he evolves into a reliable catcher, contributing positively across various league formats.

First Base

• Kyle Manzardo (Guardians 39%) – Manzardo is currently positioned in a lineup that desperately seeks playoff contention, making him a sleeper option worth considering.

Second Base

• Otto Lopez (Marlins 63%) – Lopez’s performance is solid, especially with opportunities at Coors Field this week, making him a favorable pick.

Third Base

• Jake Burger (Rangers 39%) – Burger recently showcased his potential with impressive statistics and favorable matchups coming up.

Shortstop

• Ezequiel Tovar (Rockies 51%) – With the upcoming games coinciding with extra games at Coors Field, Tovar’s potential output increases significantly.

Middle Infield

• Kody Clemens (Blue Jays 10%) – Recently excelling with homers, Clemens warrants attention for those seeking value.

Corner Infield

• Otto Kemp (Phillies 6%) – Given the situation with the Phillies, Kemp can prove to be an asset in the current lineup context.

Outfield

• Austin Hays (Reds 43%) – Hays has been showing strong performance indicators, needing to capitalize on favorable matchups going forward.

Starting Pitcher

• Connelly Early (Red Sox 34%) – Early has made notable strides in his short career and appears set for promising outcomes this week.
