Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Shocker: Nick Kurtz’s Return and Kyle Teel’s Debut Could Change Everything!
Waiver Wire Pitchers
Eury Perez – SP, MIA: 44% rostered
Yes, Perez doesn’t technically qualify for this list since he’s rostered in too many leagues, but he’s set to make his season debut on Monday in Pittsburgh and gets a nice two-start week against Washington as well. Perez is a high-end talent and could be one of the more exciting pitchers in baseball…in 2026. He’s coming back from Tommy John surgery and one a bad team that isn’t playing for anything. I doubt they push him past five innings in most starts, and his chances for wins are really small. He’s talented, so he’ll be worth streaming in some starts and picking up in deeper formats, but I wouldn’t add him expecting a “league winner” or whatever. I would much rather be adding Mick Abel – SP, PHI (43% rostered), who also doesn’t qualify for this list. Given Aaron Nola’s struggles this year and his setback on his rehab, I think it’s possible Abel is in the Phillies’ rotation for much, if not all, of June. If he pitches well enough, they could trade Ranger Suarez for bullpen help or an outfielder and open up a spot in the rotation for Abel. Or maybe trade Abel to the Red Sox in a package for Jarren Duran. Would love that for both teams.
