Can You Add and Start Waiver Wire Pitcher Noah Cameron in All Fantasy Baseball Leagues?

It's time for our third round of fantasy baseball waiver wire stories of the week.

We'll check out pitchers first today - here are the stories from Monday and Tuesday (we won't cover anyone who appeared in those articles). We also won't include any pitchers who appeared in the streaming article for Wednesday.

Check out the top fantasy baseball waiver wire options everyday on FantasySP. 

Should You Add Noah Cameron?

Cameron is another streaming option for Wednesday. He's currently owned in 52.12% of fantasy leagues after a 7.04% increase today.

He's made three starts in his rookie MLB season. Cameron is 1-1 with a 0.93 earned run average over 19 1/3 innings. He's allowed two runs on seven hits and six walks, while striking out 14 batters.

Cameron's first start came against the Rays. He worked 6 1/3 innings, allowing one hit and five walks, while striking out three. Cameron also struck out three over 6 1/3 innings against the Cardinals in his second start. He allowed a run on two hits and no walks.

Cameron tossed 6 2/3 innings against the Twins in his last start, allowing a run on four hits and one walk. He struck out eight batters.

Those are all pretty favorable matchups, and he gets another one Wednesday against the Reds. Cameron isn't going to keep up his stats from his first three stats the rest of the season, but he's worth streaming in all leagues right now, especially in good matchups.

I'd say Cameron is a must-start pitcher in deeper leagues today. He's pitched well and the matchup is right for another great outing.

I'd be more than happy to give him a streaming start in standard leagues too. He appears to have a pretty solid floor, and his ceiling is really high. Check out some other streaming options, but Cameron might be your best option today.

Should You Add Dustin May?

May was added in 5.96% of leagues, bringing his overall mark to 63.21%.

He made a start against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. May got the win after striking out eight batters over six innings. He allowed a run on five hits and one walk.

May is now 2-4 on the season, and he sports a 4.09 ERA over 50 2/3 total innings. He's allowed 26 runs (23 earned) on 45 hits and 18 walks, while striking out 49 batters.

May has standard league keeper potential, but he hasn't pitched well enough for that to be the case this season. In four starts this month, May had starts where he allowed one and two runs, then two where he surrendered four runs.

He's allowed at least three runs in four of his past six starts. You could also turn things positive by saying he's allowed two or less runs in two of his past three starts.

May's next start is likely to come against the Mets early next week. That's a pretty tough matchup, and one I'd only feel confident starting May in deeper leagues for. He'll get some streaming starts in standard leagues, but I wouldn't be uber-confident in May delivering big results for that start.

He'll stick on the standard league streaming line until he delivers more consistent fantasy results.

Should You Add Cade Horton?

Horton started on Tuesday against the Rockies and delivered a good fantasy outing. As a result, he's up 4.92% today and sits at 49.22% overall.

On Tuesday, Horton allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out six Rockies.

Horton has now made four big league appearances. He's 2-0 with a 3.98 ERA over 20 1/3 innings. Horton has allowed nine runs on 21 hits and four walks, while striking out 16 batters.

He's faced three straight weaker-hitting teams, and he's delivered pretty good results in all those outings. Horton's first appearance was against the Mets, and he allowed three runs over four innings.

Horton's next start is likely against the Nationals. While it's not as favorable as some of his recent outings, Washington is a good enough matchup to unveil Horton in again.

I'd be comfortable starting Horton in deeper leagues as well. I'd be more inclined to start him in standard leagues than I was May against the Mets, but I'm not all in on Horton against the Nats either.

Depending on the other streaming options that day though, Horton might be one of the best options. All fantasy owners need to keep an eye on Horton. He's a highly-regarded prospect, and if he locks in, he could be scooped up in all fantasy leagues in short order.

Should You Add Kyle Hart?

Hart will be called up from Triple-A to start against the Marlins on Wednesday. Hart is only owned in 3% of leagues right now, but that should grow before he makes his start today.

Hart made five starts for the Padres earlier in the season, going 2-2 with a 6.00 ERA over 21 innings. He allowed 14 runs on 23 hits and six walks.

Those numbers leave a lot to be desired, but a matchup against the Marlins puts him in streaming territory. Hart did not face Miami earlier in the season.

Hart was solid in his four starts at Triple-A after his early-season demotion. He went 2-0 with a 2.29 ERA over 19 2/3 innings, and he struck out 16 batters along the way.

Hart is in his first big league season since 2020, so we don't have much to go on. His numbers aren't great through four starts, but it's far too early to write him off completely for the season.

I'd be fine giving Hart some deep-league streaming starts today. He's not a must-start, despite the favorable matchup, in deeper leagues, but he's a player to keep tabs on in case he excels today.

His next start, if he remains in the rotation, would likely be against the Giants. That's a less favorable matchup, but good results on Wednesday could help Hart be another deep-league streaming option for that next possible start.

Should You Add Bailey Falter?

Falter is rostered in 25% of fantasy leagues right now. He was at 33% for his most recent start.

Falter worked 5 2/3 innings against the Brewers, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks, while striking out one.

He's been pretty good across 11 starts this season. Falter is 3-3 with a 3.47 ERA. He's covered 59 2/3 innings, allowing 28 runs (23 earned) on 47 hits and 21 walks - he's struck out 40 batters.

Falter has a career 4.45 ERA, so he's a pretty average option. His strikeout numbers are down, while his walks are up this season, so there's actually some room for improvement in those areas, which could mean better fantasy results. 

However, his 1.14 WHIP is a career best, and a good ways below his career 1.27 mark. Falter is 28 years old and nearing his prime, so it's possible he's just enjoying a career season, but most fantasy owners aren't believers - or his own percentage would be higher.

Falter's strikeout numbers are lacking, but his other numbers are all pretty good. Him being on a bad team doesn't help his cause either.

Falter is underowned and underappreciated in fantasy right now though. He deserves to be rostered and utilized in more deeper leagues, and in the right matchups, he could be a standard league streaming option.

His next start is likely against the Padres, which is obviously not very favorable. Falter already faced them this season, and he allowed just one run over six innings. He gave up two hits and two walks, while striking out six batters.

Between the numbers from that start, and his season-long numbers, I'd be willing to start Falter in deeper leagues despite the tougher matchup on paper. Add him in deeper leagues, and you might have a season-long keeper in those leagues. 

There's also a chance he gets moved at the deadline, so he's a name to keep in mind in case he joins a contender. His fantasy outlook would improve a good bit if that happens.
