Gavin Sheets and Nick Kurtz Among Tuesday's Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Hitters to Consider Adding

It's time to go over our second round of fantasy baseball waiver wire options of the week.

We'll begin with hitters today and not include anyone who appeared in Monday's story. Check back soon for a waiver story on pitchers.

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

Should You Add Gavin Sheets?

Sheets is up 4.38% today, bringing his overall mark to 40.27%.

Sheets is on a seven-game hitting streak, collecting 10 hits over that span. He has a homer and three doubles among the hits, along with two RBIs, four runs scored and walks and three strikeouts.

He's played in 68 games and gotten 248 plate appearances on the season. Sheets has a .267 average and .327 on-base percentage, along with 40 RBIs, a stolen base, 27 runs scored, 19 walks and 54 strikeouts. He has 12 homers, 10 doubles and a triple among his 60 total knocks.

Sheets mostly has been the Padres' designated hitter, but has played enough at first base and left field to be eligible to play there too in fantasy. That's a plus for his fantasy outlook.

Sheets has started each of the team's past five games, batting between fourth-sixth in the lineup. Any of those spots are favorable ones in a stacked Padres' lineup.

Sheets is really putting together a solid season, and he's underrated in my eyes. I think he deserves to be rostered in deeper leagues, while also getting some standard league attention.

While he's hot at the plate, like he is now, Sheets can be a starting option in all fantasy leagues. Plus, he might be able to slot into a few spots for you, which makes him even more valuable.

Should You Add Brooks Lee?

Lee is up 4.08% today - he's rostered in 13.97% of leagues overall.

Lee is on a five-game hitting streak, with eight knocks over those contests. He has two homers and a double among the hits, along with four RBIs, three runs scored, no walks and six punchouts.

He's played in 55 games this season, getting 208 plate appearances. Lee has 52 total hits, including six doubles and seven home runs. He also has 25 RBIs, a stolen base, 18 runs scored, 10 walks and 40 strikeouts.

Lee has improved his numbers in his second big league season, and the 24-year-old seems to be on the rise as a fantasy asset, both now and for the long haul. The switch-hitter has started in each of the team's past five games, hitting between sixth-eighth in the lineup.

He's played second and third base and shortstop this season, so that position versatility gives you more reason to add Lee. He's a decent deep-league option right now, and could remain an asset for the remainder of the season.

I'm for adding Lee in deeper leagues if you are in need of some infield help. He can start now while he's hot at the plate and be a nice depth option if he cools off a bit.

Those in dynasty/keeper leagues who have been hoping for Lee to contribute more regularly have to be happy with his results of late. There's a chance he becomes a reliable fantasy asset for the long haul after some early struggles in the big leagues.

Should You Add Ryan McMahon?

McMahon is up to 30.96% rostered after a 3.29% increase today.

The Rockies' third baseman has had an OK month of June, with a .240 average and .333 OBP over 14 games and 57 plate appearances. McMahon has four homers and two doubles among his 12 total hits - he's homered in two of his past four games.

For the season, McMahon has a .217 average and .329 OBP across 70 games and 286 plate appearances. He has 10 homers, a triple and 11 doubles among his 53 total hits, along with 23 RBIs, a stolen base, 29 runs scored, 40 walks and 86 strikeouts.

McMahon isn't helped by not having a great offense around him, although he's having a down season himself. His average is down 20+ points, but his OBP is actually over his career mark. If McMahon is able to bump his average near his career .241 mark, he could end up delivering a career-best OBP.

He's still playing every game just about, and mashing to provide some fantasy value. McMahon hits cleanup, and even though he's part of a bad offense overall, that's obviously a favorable spot for him to be in.

McMahon still has some deep-league appeal, as his own percentage suggests. He's a better depth option at this point though. He's an OK option to utilize if your starter is out, but until his bat really heats up, I'm not a fan of adding him in too many more leagues.

He'll be a trade deadline target for some contenders most likely, so keep tabs on him in case he gets moved. McMahon's fantasy value could skyrocket with a move to a better offense.

Should You Add Sal Frelick?

Frelick has been added in 3.1% of leagues, bringing his overall mark to 53.51%.

Frelick went hitless in his last game, but had eight hits in the four contests before that. Two of the hits were doubles, and he also had four RBIs, two stolen bases, five runs scored, a walk and two strikeouts in that short span.

Frelick has a .294 average and .357 OBP over 70 games and 277 plate appearances this season. He has eight doubles, three triples and four home runs among his 73 total knocks. Frelick also has 26 RBIs, 14 stolen bases, 30 runs scored, 21 walks and 36 strikeouts.

We've discussed Frelick several times this season. I always mention his lack of power, but how his stolen base and lower strikeout marks help offset things.

He's playing every game and has moved into the leadoff spot for the Brewers now. That's a good spot for his hitting profile, and ups his fantasy value as he'll get a few more plate appearances a week now.

I still think Frelick is worth a roster spot in all deeper fantasy leagues, even if you have him as outfield depth. I also think Frelick is a decent option in standard leagues. He ranks in the top-30 fantasy outfielders in points leagues so far, which means he really should be starting in most standard leagues already.

Don't overlook these contact hitters just because they aren't homering a bunch. Frelick is a good fantasy asset, and if you add and utilize him for a bit, you'll see the value he brings.

Should You Add Nick Kurtz?

Kurtz is up to 41% owned now. He's been below 40% the past few days.

Kurtz hit a walk-off, two-run homer on Monday, which marked his second straight game with a homer. He has five hits over the six games he's played since returning from the injured list. Kurtz has four RBIs, two runs scored, no walks and eight strikeouts over that span.

He has a .235 average and .293 OBP over his first 34 big league games and 133 plate appearances. Kurtz has seven homers, three doubles and a triple among his 28 total knocks, along with 19 RBIs, 13 runs scored, 11 walks and 44 strikeouts.

Kurtz hasn't excelled in a big way since being called up, but he's flashed some of his upside in short spans. He was hitting well before he got injured, mashing four homers over a four-game span. Kurtz might be locking in again, so he's on a rise in fantasy leagues.

I always liked the idea of adding and stashing Kurtz in deeper leagues, as I think he's going to turn into a big-time fantasy asset one day. First base is a loaded fantasy position, so that's holding his own percentage down a bit.

His upside is worth gambling on though, and on his little hot streak, now is another good time to add Kurtz. It might look like a short-term add, but he could become a daily starter in time.
