“Rising Stars on the Waiver Wire: Could Tyler Soderstrom and Jack Leiter Be Your Secret Weapons This Season?”

Otto Lopez – 2B/SS, MIA: 10% rostered
(SPEED UPSIDE, SOLID BATTING AVERAGE)

Lopez is a bit of an afterthought because he plays on a bad Marlins team, but I think he has some fantasy juice. The middle infielder has gone 5-for-11 with one home run, four RBI, and one steal in his first three games. Last year, he hit .270/.313/.377 in 117 games with the Marlins while stealing 20 bases. This didn’t really come out of nowhere either. In 2022, he hit .297 with 14 steals in 91 games in Triple-A for Toronto, and in 2023, he hit .258 with 13 steals in 84 games at the same level. He’s a good bet to hit .270 with 20+ steals in a full season as the second baseman in Miami, and that’s valuable in a lot of formats.
