Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Hitters to Possibly Add: Zach Neto, Jesus Sanchez and Several Twins

After checking out some fantasy baseball waiver wire pitchers to possibly add, let's now go over some waiver wire hitting options.

We won't cover anyone who appeared in stories on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

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

Should You Add Zach Neto?

Neto is rostered in 76% of fantasy baseball leagues right now.

He has five hits, including a double, triple and home run, over his past four games. Neto has nine hits over his past nine games and 22 hits over his past 19 contests. What I'm trying to get at is that Neto is trending up, and producing regularly.

Over 43 games and 185 plate appearances this season, Neto has a .270 average and .308 on-base percentage. He has 47 total hits, including 10 home runs, a triple and 11 doubles. Neto also has 23 RBIs, eight stolen bases, 34 runs scored, eight walks and 54 strikeouts.

The Angels' everyday shortstop bats leadoff for the team. LA is not a great team for a fantasy hitter to be on, but batting first gives Neto plenty of fantasy value.

He began the season injured, otherwise his numbers would be better, and he'd likely be rostered in more leagues. I was a big fan of Neto coming into the season, and he's delivered in his return to the field.

He should be rostered and held in all deeper redraft leagues all season. Neto is also a great dynasty/keeper league asset as just a 24-year-old who keeps improving his numbers with each passing season.

Neto is at a stacked fantasy position, so it's understandable why he's not rostered in more leagues. He's got good power numbers though, and like I mentioned before, delivers pretty consistently. 

He's already a top-20 fantasy shortstop, and that's despite missing 18 games so far. Neto is a better fantasy asset than you think, and a lot of standard league fantasy owners would benefit from adding Neto to their team.

Should You Add Byron Buxton?

Buxton is rostered in 88% of leagues already, but I wanted to mention him for the few of you who could scoop him up.

He went hitless on Wednesday, but collected 10 hits over his past six games and 30 plate appearances before that. He had a homer and double among the hits, along with 11 RBIs, two stolen bases, six runs scored, two walks and six strikeouts.

Over 46 games and 201 plate appearances this season, Buxton has a .268 average and .313 OBP. He has six doubles, three triples and 10 home runs among his 49 total knocks. Buxton also has 37 RBIs, 10 stolen bases, 37 runs scored, 12 walks and 62 strikeouts.

Buxton mostly plays center field for the Twins, and he also bats leadoff when he's in the lineup. He's in a better lineup than Neto, so it makes sense to see Buxton owned in a few more leagues.

Buxton has pretty well-rounded numbers, but the big strikeout total holds him back a bit. A few fantasy owners might not add him in standard leagues just because of his injury-riddled past too.

Buxton is a good fantasy asset when he's on the field though, and he is someone to utilize in standard redraft leagues while you can. He's outperforming his career numbers so far, but not by an otherworldly amount, so I think he can keep producing for those who want to utilize him.

Assess your fantasy outfielders and see if Buxton is worth picking up, or trading for.

Should You Add Jesus Sanchez?

Sanchez is rostered in 15% of leagues only, but that's up from about 9% at the end of May.

Sanchez didn't record a hit in his lone plate appearance on Wednesday - he played from the seventh inning on. He had 15 hits over the nine games and 35 plate appearances before that though.

In that stretch, Sanchez had three doubles and two homers, along with five RBIs, seven runs scored, two walks and seven strikeouts. His average rose from .221 to .274 after that stretch, while his OBP rose from .331 to .363.

Among his 42 games and 169 plate appearances this season, Sanchez has 40 total knocks. He also has 18 RBIs, 17 runs scored, six stolen bases, 20 walks and 35 strikeouts.

He's played center and right field for the Marlins this season. He could also be eligible in left field from past years, if your fantasy league breaks things down individually in the outfield. 

He typically hits second when he's in the lineup. Miami isn't a good team for a fantasy hitter to be on, but Sanchez has delivered some results of late, so he shouldn't be overlooked.

I do think Sanchez tops out as a deep-league option, and might not even see his own percentage ever rise over 30 or so percent. He's overlooked and undervalued though, and he's worth utilizing in a fair amount of deeper leagues.

If you are in a deeper league and need some help in the outfield, Sanchez is a decent waiver wire target.

Should You Add Trevor Larnach?

Larnach is owned in 24% of leagues. That's down from the 30% mark he held in late May, but up from 15% he was down to at the start of the month.

Larnach is on an eight-game hitting streak, collecting 14 hits over 39 plate appearances in that span. He has two homers and two doubles among the knocks, along with seven RBIs, a stolen base, five runs scored, one walk and 10 strikeouts.

He's played in 60 games and gotten 252 plate appearances for the season. Larnach has a .263 average and .327 OBP, along with 30 RBIs, 33 runs scored, two stolen bases, 20 walks and 55 strikeouts.

Larnach has played the corner outfield spots for the Twins this season. He's started the team's past five games and batted between first-third in the lineup. Larnach has hit third for the last two games, so that's something to note going forward.

There's enough fantasy production in his numbers to consider adding Larnach. Him being at a stacked fantasy position probably means he won't ever get into standard leagues, but Larnach is a good deep-league asset at least.

Assess your team and see if Larnach is worth adding, even if it's just for a short time as he's on his hot streak.

Should You Add Ty France?

Let's discuss one more Twin in France, who is rostered in 11% of leagues right now. 

Since the start of June, France has collected eight hits over four games and 18 plate appearances. He has a double among the hits, along with two RBIs, three runs scored, no walks and four punchouts.

He's played in 59 games and gotten 238 plate appearances so far in 2025. France has a .273 average and .336 OBP, while also tallying 32 RBIs, 24 runs scored, a stolen base, 10 walks and 37 strikeouts.

He starts at first base when he's in the lineup, and that's most days. France had been hitting lower in the order, but was bumped up to the cleanup spot for the team's last game, so again, if that continues it's a positive thing for his fantasy outlook.

He's had productive fantasy seasons in the past, but in all likelihood, France's numbers are likely to fade as the season continues. That doesn't mean he shouldn't be utilized right now.

I'd be fine adding France in some deeper fantasy leagues right now. At least utilize him while he's hot at the plate, and maybe he sticks as a fantasy asset for an extended period of time.
