Friday's Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Adds: Carlos Correa, Roman Anthony and More

It's time for one final fantasy baseball waiver wire story for the week.

We won't cover anyone who appeared in a waiver story from Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, and we'll also skip anyone from Friday's streaming pitcher article.

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

Should You Add Carlos Correa?

Correa is up 2.19% and sits at 47.43% overall now.

Correa has been revitalized after a trade back to the Astros. He's played in six games, and is now riding a five-game hitting streak.

He has nine hits, including two doubles and a home run, over this hitting streak. Correa also has three RBIs, four runs scored, two walks and three strikeouts.

For the season, Correa has played in 99 games and logged 392 plate appearances. He has a .273 average and .324 on-base percentage.

He has 99 total hits, including 21 doubles and eight home runs. Correa also has 44 runs scored, 34 RBIs, 28 walks and 72 strikeouts.

Correa has pretty good numbers over the course of the season, and now he's in a more favorable fantasy spot. He moved up to the leadoff spot for the team's last game, and hit third or fourth before that. He should stick in the top five of the order for the remainder of the season.

Correa would be rostered in more leagues if he wasn't a shortstop - there's just so many options available. The trade he was involved in upped his fantasy outlook though, and he's thriving of late, so he should be on the rise as a fantasy asset.

I'm fine adding him in deeper leagues, and also wouldn't mind streaming him in standard leagues. I think he'll remain a good deep-league keeper option this season, but probably not stick in standard leagues. He's at least worth utilizing while he's hot at the plate though.

Should You Add Nathan Lukes?

Lukes got a 2.28% bump and is rostered in 13.04% of leagues.

He is on a four-game hitting streak, and has collected seven knocks over that short span. Lukes has two doubles, a triple and a home run among those hits. He also has seven RBIs and runs scored, three walks and just one strikeout.

For the season, Lukes has a .261 average and .348 OBP over 90 games and 296 plate appearances. He also has 10 doubles and homers and one triple among his 66 total hits, and has posted 49 RBIs, 42 runs scored, a stolen base, 33 walks and 35 strikeouts.

I get that he's not playing every single game, or racking up a ton of at-bats, but his overall numbers are solid enough to have a higher own percentage. Him just being eligible in the outfield also knocks him down a few pegs, because again there's a ton of fantasy options available.

He's red hot right now and deserves to be streamed in some deeper leagues at least. This might turn into one of those cases where you add a guy thinking you're going to stream him, and then he becomes a daily starter for you and remains rostered for the rest of the season.

Lukes has hit leadoff three times over the team's past four games, while hitting seventh in his other start in that span. He batted first against the righties and dropped in the order when a lefty was out there.

Toronto is a good lineup for a fantasy hitter to be a part of, especially if that player is hitting first. He might not have a chance to drive in a ton of runs, but he can get on base and score plenty. What I like about Lukes is that he barely strikes out, so you're not dealing with many negative points.

Should You Add Roman Anthony?

Anthony has been added in 2.08% of leagues and is owned in 74.59% overall.

He went hitless in his last game, but had an eight-game hitting streak before that. Anthony collected 12 hits in that span, including three doubles and a triple. He also had five RBIs, seven runs scored, six walks and five strikeouts in that stretch.

Anthony has been good since getting called up to the big leagues. Over 47 games, he's posted a .276 average and has a .392 OBP over 194 total plate appearances.

He's posted 45 total hits, with 15 being doubles - he also has a triple and two home runs. Anthony has 19 RBIs, 27 runs scored, two stolen bases, 26 walks and 47 strikeouts.

Anthony was the top prospect in baseball for a reason, and while he's not erupted in the big leagues, he's become a really solid fantasy option. He should be rostered in all deeper leagues at this point, while being on the rise in standard leagues, even if he's at a stacked fantasy outfielder spot.

He's hitting near the top of the order when he's out there, and the Red Sox are making a playoff push, so it's always good to have those team's players on your fantasy squad.

Anthony isn't a must-add hitter in standard leagues, but he's probably outplaying another outfielder of yours. Look into things and see if he's worth an add for the stretch run.

Should You Add Tomoyuki Sugano?

Sugano is up 2.58%, bringing his overall mark to 26.09%.

He's a streaming option for Friday and will face the Athletics tonight. Sugano faced them back on June 8, taking a loss after allowing four runs (three earned) on eight hits and a walk, while striking out two over 4 1/3 innings.

Sugano has allowed at least three runs in eight of his last nine appearances, which dates back to that first matchup with the Athletics. He has a 6.70 earned run average over 43 innings pitched in that stretch, but somehow has a 3-2 record, and the team is 6-3 in those contests. Sugano has 36 strikeouts in that span.

For the season, Sugano is 8-5 across 21 appearances. He has a 4.42 ERA over 114 innings, allowing 58 runs (56 earned) on 122 hits and 29 walks, while striking out 76 batters.

The matchup is solid on paper, but with how Sugano has looked of late, he's just a deep-league option for me tonight. I'd say his own percentage is about as high as it should go, and I'd look elsewhere for streaming help tonight.

Should You Add Bryce Elder?

Elder is up 2.37% and now he sits at 11.93% overall.

He will make a start against the Marlins this evening. Elder was tagged for five runs on 10 hits and a walk in his last appearance against Miami. He struck out four over 5 1/3 innings.

Elder is 4-8 with a 6.03 ERA over 18 appearances this season. He has allowed 64 runs (63 earned) on 110 hits and 37 walks, while striking out 78 batters. He's covered 94 innings.

Elder allowed two runs against the Reds in his last start, so he's a streaming option partly because of that. He allowed eight runs in the start before that, and allowed nine runs over the three outings before that.

He usually is able to cover at least five innings and record a few strikeouts, but the chance for a blowup outing is also there. That makes him a risky streaming option for the day, and someone I'd only want to start in deeper leagues. 

Elder could surprise, so I'd be fine streaming him in more leagues than his current own percentage, but I'd avoid him in standard leagues completely.
