It's time to go over some weekly fantasy baseball projections and identify some more waiver wire/streaming options!

We have already gone over more traditional waiver wire/streaming options for hitters and pitchers today, so check those articles out too.

Weekly fantasy baseball projections can be found on FantasySP all season! Daily projections are also available!

Hitters

Cole Carrigg and Kyle Karros - Colorado Rockies

Carrigg is owned in about 38% of fantasy baseball leagues right now. Karros is at just 14%. They could play up to seven games this coming week, and are projected to perform well.

Carrigg had a three-game hitting streak snapped on Sunday, but he didn't start that game and only got one at-bat. Carrigg had five hits in the three games before that, including two triples and a home run. He added eight RBIs and five runs scored in that three-game stretch.

Carrigg has a .289 average and .374 on-base percentage over 24 games and 92 plate appearances this season. He has 22 hits, including four home runs and three doubles and triples. Carrigg has 19 RBIs, 18 runs scored, two stolen bases, 11 walks and 19 strikeouts.

He's done enough in the early going of his MLB career to own and utilize in some deeper leagues. Carrigg is getting closer and closer to standard league usage, so if you need some short-term help in those leagues, give Carrigg some consideration.

Karros has five hits over his past three games, including a triple and a home run. He has three RBIs, four runs scored, a walk and a stolen base in that short stretch.

Karros has now logged 292 plate appearances over his 86 games played this year. He has a .263 average and .360 OBP, plus 29 RBIs, 44 runs scored, three stolen bases, 36 walks and 62 strikeouts. Karros has 16 doubles, seven homers and two triples among his 66 total hits.

Karros is another Colorado hitter on the rise, and he's a rising fantasy asset of late. He's worth some more deep-league fantasy adds today, but not worth standard league looks yet - maybe another big week or two could get him there.

Trent Grisham - New York Yankees

Grisham has seven possible games he could play in as well this week. He's sitting at about 58% rostered.

Grisham recently returned from an injured list stint. In three games since, he has three hits, a walk and stolen base, four runs scored and two RBIs. He has a homer and double among the knocks.

Grisham has a .236 average and .342 OBP over 275 plate appearances this season - he's played in 69 games so far. He has 55 hits, including 12 doubles, nine homers and two triples. Grisham has 37 RBIs, 44 runs scored, seven stolen bases, 39 walks and 46 strikeouts.

The outfielder is available in more leagues than he should be after spending time on the IL. He's also struggled a bit this season, so many can scoop him up for free right now. If he keeps producing at the plate, he'll be worth more and more fantasy league utilization. He's projected for a big week, so if you need outfield help, at least consider Grisham.

Heliot Ramos - San Francisco Giants

Ramos could also play in seven games this coming week. He's owned in roughly 35% of leagues at the moment.

Ramos also recently returned from an IL stint. He has a four-game hitting streak going right now, and he has a double, triple and home run among the hits. He also has two RBIs, three runs scored and a walk in that short stretch.

He has played in just 51 games so far, getting 205 plate appearances. Ramos has struggled a bit, but now owns a .266 average and .307 OBP, so he's on the rise. He has 23 RBIs, 24 runs scored, 12 walks and 52 strikeouts, while posting 51 hits (13 doubles, six homers and two triples among the knocks).

Ramos can be a good fantasy asset, and he's also available in more leagues than he should be after the injury and some down numbers to start the season. He's projected for a solid week, so consider adding Ramos if you need outfield help.

Garrett Mitchell - Milwaukee Brewers

Mitchell has eight possible games he could play in this week, with Milwaukee having a doubleheader scheduled. He is owned in roughly 24% of leagues right now.

He went hitless on Sunday, but had 10 hits in the five games before that. Mitchell had three doubles, two homers and a triple among the hits, plus five RBIs, four runs scored and two walks in that stretch.

Mitchell is up to a .264 average and .358 OBP over his 78 games and 280 plate appearances this season now. He has 64 total hits, including eight homers, three triples and 17 doubles. Mitchell has 42 RBIs, 37 runs scored, six stolen bases, 34 walks and 94 strikeouts as well.

The outfielder has produced enough this season, and especially of late, to add in more fantasy leagues today. Consider adding him for the week in deeper leagues, and even some standard ones.

Pitchers

Taj Bradley - Minnesota Twins

Bradley is rostered in just under 75% of leagues, which is where I make my cutoff for this article. He has two starts lined up this week.

He is set to face the Guardians and Angels. Those are both favorable matchups on paper.

Bradley has made 16 starts, and he's 7-3 with a 3.86 earned run average over 88 2/3 innings. He's allowed 38 runs on 76 hits and 38 walks, while striking out 102 along the way. Bradley has allowed two or fewer earned runs in three straight starts.

Bradley has been a pretty good fantasy asset this season, and in two great matchups, I love streaming him for the coming week. Add and utilize Bradley, and just hold him until his numbers start to fall off a bit.

Joey Cantillo - Cleveland Guardians

Cantillo has starts set against the Twins and Marlins this coming week. He's rostered in about 63% of leagues.

Those two matchups are pretty favorable on paper, so Cantillo has a good fantasy outlook. That also helps his weekly projection mark.

Cantillo has allowed two or less runs in four straight outings. He's made 18 starts, and he's also 7-3, but with a 3.86 ERA over 91 innings. Cantillo has allowed 43 runs (39 earned) on 80 knocks and 44 walks, while also striking out 89 batters.

Cantillo has been a sneaky-good fantasy pitcher this season. In two good matchups, I'd expect more good results from the hurler. Utilize him in all deeper leagues, and also consider streaming him in standard leagues this week.

Griffin Jax - Tampa Bay Rays

Jax has two starts lined up as well. He's rostered in about 69% of leagues.

He is set to face the Yankees and Mariners. New York isn't the best matchup on paper, but they have struggled a bit of late. Seattle is a bit better matchup, but neither is too great.

Jax is excelling since moving to a starting role. Across 12 starts, he's 3-3 with a 2.65 ERA. Jax has worked 51 innings across the starts, giving up 21 runs (15 earned) on 46 hits and 13 walks, while also striking out 48 batters.

I don't love his matchups this week, but Jax has pitched well enough to at least fire up in deeper fantasy leagues. He's a standard league streaming option, but tread carefully in these two matchups.
