Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Andrew Painter still on fire, stick with Walker Jenkins

Welcome to Waiver Wire Watch, our weekly fantasy baseball waiver wire guide. This season, we're featuring a few dense player profiles instead of a long list of players with deep analysis. We'll provide recommended adds each week based on recent production or role changes. Players listed will be helpful for your team's needs, with a roster usage under 40% in Yahoo! formats.

Spencer Jones, OF (NY Yankees) has a powerful upside and has been hitting well since coming back up in late July. He has seven home runs, eight stolen bases, 21 runs scored, 21 RBIs, and a .243 batting average. Jones' low zone-contact rate and high strikeout rate have improved recently, making him an attractive option for deeper 12-team leagues.

Hector Rodríguez, OF (Cincinnati Reds) is another player heating up at the plate recently. In his last seven games, he has a .323 average, four home runs, eight RBIs, and a 1.100 OPS. With a nearly 75 mph average bat speed and the ability to pull and lift the ball, Rodríguez is a strong addition to deeper leagues.

Tim Tawa, 1B/2B/3B/OF (Arizona Diamondbacks) has recently earned a starting job and has shown consistent productivity with eight home runs, eight stolen bases, and a .264 batting average. Tawa's high-end bat speed, power metrics, and contact rates make him a valuable asset at multiple positions.

Walker Jenkins, OF (Minnesota Twins) has had a tough start to his big league career with a 3-for-20 average in his first week. However, Jenkins possesses a well-rounded offensive profile with power, plate discipline, contact ability, and speed. With over a 15 mph launch speed and only a month into his major league career, he has the potential to "get blazing hot at a moment's notice."

Kaelen Culpepper, SS (Minnesota Twins) is another promising prospect to watch. In his first 22 games, he has three home runs, 12 runs scored, nine RBIs, a .300 batting average, and an .815 OPS. Despite a below-average underlying profile due to a high BABIP, Culpepper's strong bat speed and consistent production make him a recommended pick for this season.
