As April heads towards its conclusion, many fantasy baseball managers are looking to bolster their rosters. This week’s waiver wire adds focus on under 40% rostered players who are making waves. Chandler Simpson, with undeniable speed, might not bring power but can significantly impact stolen bases. Pavin Smith is on fire, boasting an impressive .408 batting average and standout power metrics, making him a must-add for those in need of offensive boosts, especially against right-handed pitching.

Caleb Durbin is stepping up for Milwaukee, offering potential steals and a solid batting average, while Heston Kjerstad is warming up for Baltimore, showcasing power with three homers in six games. Carson Kelly has become a crucial asset in the Cubs lineup, leading catchers with a remarkable start. Lastly, pitchers Chase Dollander and Andrew Abbott are proving their worth, providing solid strikeout numbers that could help elevate fantasy rotations.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers is showing signs of recovery from his left oblique injury, which sidelined him on April 8. Although he expressed optimism during a recent update, no specific timeline for his return has been established. Rogers reported improved feelings during workouts, indicating he's following the rehabilitation protocols closely. Meanwhile, rookie Dillon Dingler has stepped in as the primary replacement, while veteran Tomás Nido has provided a seasoned presence in the clubhouse.

Manager A.J. Hinch previously warned that oblique injuries typically require extended recovery time, potentially a month or more. This cautious approach underscores the team's commitment to ensuring Rogers returns to form rather than rushing him back into the lineup. The Tigers will continue monitoring Rogers' progress, with the hope of having him back in action in a few weeks.

The Minnesota Twins faced a dual injury scare during their game against the New York Mets, with both Matt Wallner and Carlos Correa leaving the field due to injuries. Wallner limped out with left hamstring tightness after an infield single, while Correa exited mid-at-bat with left wrist soreness. Despite these setbacks, the Twins secured a 6-3 victory, buoyed by a solid offensive performance that included 13 hits and contributions from Ryan Jeffers and Harrison Bader. Starter Bailey Ober pitched well, although he relinquished two home runs. The Twins' offensive output was essential, especially with the potential loss of two key players as they aim to improve their season.

Several players currently enjoying hot streaks are under the spotlight, offering intriguing options for fantasy baseball managers. Josh Jung of the Texas Rangers is a standout, showcasing his talents after a wrist injury last season. His early performance with strong batting averages and slugging rates indicates he’s a buy. Similarly, Hayden Wesneski of the Houston Astros has made a splash, striking out batters at a high rate but may be more of a sell due to challenging upcoming matchups.

Catchers and hitters like Sean Murphy and Wilmer Flores are also making waves. Murphy is back from injury and hitting well, making him a good buy, while Flores leads the league in home runs but may not sustain this pace long-term. Meanwhile, Easton Lucas of the Blue Jays has dazzled in his first starts, presenting a buy opportunity. As we dive into Week 3, identifying these players can reshape your fantasy roster.

The New York Yankees showcased a powerful offensive display, defeating the San Francisco Giants 8-4. Cody Bellinger, breaking out of a slump, contributed significantly with a triple and two RBIs. Will Warren earned his first MLB win, displaying improved command and striking out six batters. The Yankees' lineup came alive in the fifth inning, posting a five-run surge that turned a 2-2 tie into a commanding lead. Ben Rice also made a mark, hitting a solo homer and demonstrating strong performance at the leadoff spot.

Devin Williams faced some challenges in the ninth but managed to secure the win, striking out two batters to end the game. The starting rotation remains a concern, particularly with Marcus Stroman's recent injury, but this game provided a much-needed boost for the Yankees as they look to build momentum in a cloudy start to spring.
