Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Hitters: 4 Hot Bats to Add for Thursday

After taking a look at fantasy baseball waiver wire pitching options for Thursday, let's do the same for hitters here.

Also be sure to check out our waiver wire stories on hitters from Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Fantasy baseball waiver wire options can be found all season on FantasySP!

Jose Caballero - New York Yankees

Caballero is up 1.7% so far today, and he's now rostered in 68.94% of leagues overall.

He has a three-game hitting streak going, with four knocks over that span. Caballero homered in back-to-back games, and has seven RBIs and three runs scored in that short span.

On the season over 61 games and 220 plate appearances, Caballero has a .264 average and .318 on-base percentage. He has 10 doubles and seven home runs among his 53 total knocks. Caballero has 25 RBIs, 28 runs scored, 15 stolen bases, 12 walks and 43 strikeouts as well.

Caballero has mostly played shortstop for New York this season, but he's also appeared at second and third base and left and right field. The more fantasy positions he's eligible at, the better his fantasy outlook is.

He's worth rostering and utilizing in all deeper leagues right now, especially if he's eligible at a few positions. Caballero is also worth some short-term looks in standard leagues, and especially so right now with his bat being hot. Keep tabs on him and be ready to move on when he cools off, but take advantage of things while you can.

Dominic Canzone - Seattle Mariners

Canzone is up to 39% owned right now - he was at 16% back on June 9, and just 6% on June 6, so he's steadily risen as a fantasy asset since.

Canzone is riding a seven-game hitting streak, and has nine knocks over that span. He has three homers and a triple among the hits, plus six RBIs, four runs scored, three walks and just two strikeouts.

He has played in 66 games this season, getting 189 plate appearances. Canzone has 12 doubles, 11 homers and a triple among his 49 total hits, plus 31 RBIs, 49 runs scored, a stolen base, 17 walks and 36 strikeouts.

Canzone should only be eligible in the outfield, but he's delivering enough, especially right now, to be picked up and utilized in more deeper fantasy leagues. I think he could work into standard leagues, but he'd have to be playing and producing daily for that to come true.

I'm good with adding and utilizing Canzone in deeper leagues while his bat is hot right now.

Nasim Nunez - Washington Nationals

Nunez has been picked up in 3.7% of leagues, which brings his overall mark to 20.76%.

He has three two-hit games in a row, and is on a four-game hitting streak overall. He has two triples among those seven hits, plus three RBIs, six runs scored, three walks, a stolen base and just two strikeouts.

In 69 games and 240 plate appearances on the season, Nunez has a .223 average and .312 OBP. He has 46 total hits, but just three doubles and three triples - he's yet to homer. Nunez has 23 RBIs, 30 runs scored, 26 stolen bases and walks and 52 strikeouts.

The primary second baseman could also be eligible at shortstop, and maybe the outfield, which adds a bit of fantasy value to his name. Nunez isn't a power threat, but he makes up for that with speed and stolen bases.

He's just a deep-league fantasy asset, but a sneaky-good one. Especially when he's producing a bit more at the plate, like he is now, Nunez is worth adding and utilizing in a few more deeper leagues. Don't expect things to last too long, so make the add today and ride the hot streak for as long as it lasts.

Blaze Alexander - Baltimore Orioles

Alexander sits at 16% rostered right now. He was at 13% five days ago, and was rostered in just 5% of leagues back on June 7.

He has three multi-hit efforts over his past four games. Alexander has a double among the eight hits, plus two runs scored, a walk and stolen base and two strikeouts.

Alexander has a .310 average and .364 OBP over 63 games and 177 plate appearances this season. He has 10 doubles, a triple and two homers among his 49 hits, plus 19 RBIs, 20 runs scored, eight stolen bases, 11 walks and 40 strikeouts.

He can play all over the field, so that adds fantasy value to his name. I think Alexander is a sneaky-good deep-league fantasy asset right now - he will top out as a deep-league option as well.

Give him some consideration at least, but I believe a good number of deeper fantasy teams could benefit from adding and utilizing Alexander for a little while.
