The fantasy baseball season is coming down to the wire, and the postseason could begin at any moment, depending on your league's settings. After another long season filled with ups and downs, managers could soon find themselves in the playoffs and looking to bolster their rosters in any way possible.
Although most teams might be established, finding a gem in the muck can make all the difference between a winning and a losing season. When it comes to fantasy baseball, especially in the postseason, scouring the waiver wire is essential in getting an advantage, even for one week.
Here's a look at two players to add to the fantasy baseball waiver wire right now
Zach Neto
Trending
The 2024 season has been a disaster for the Los Angeles Angels. However, Zach Neto has been one of the bright spots for the club. The promising shortstop has continued his evolution under new Angels manager Ron Washington, setting new career highs across the board.
Not only has Neto been helpful in real life, but he is also an intriguing addition to fantasy baseball leagues. While proven superstars such as Carlos Correa, Mookie Betts and Bo Bichette are sidelined, Neto could provide managers with temporary value as they look to secure a postseason spot.
Spencer Arrighetti
Spencer Arrighetti might not be a household name such as some of the other Houston Astros pitchers. However, he may be the hottest on the mound right now. The rookie has struggled with his consistency this season, posting a 5.14 ERA on the year, but he has been racking up strikeouts like his life depends on it lately.
Over his last three outings, Arrighetti has recorded a whopping 33 strikeouts over 19.0 innings of work. Although he is susceptible to giving up some runs, he has the strikeout upside to give fantasy baseball managers an edge in that category.
Another reason why Arrighetti could be a valuable asset at this point of the year is the fact that he pitches long into games. If your league counts quality starts, pitchers must throw at least 6.0 innings to earn that stat. Arrighetti has thrown 6.0 or more innings in five of his last six starts.
