The early chaos of the 2025 MLB season has already left fantasy baseball managers scrambling for talent due to a slew of injuries. Notable waiver wire pickups this week include Spencer Torkelson, who has shown remarkable power and contact ability early on, along with Tyler Soderstrom, who is gaining momentum with the Athletics. Kyle Manzardo is also making a case for deeper league consideration following a strong start. Other names worth watching include Otto Lopez, who offers speed and versatility, and Lars Nootbaar, who is taking advantage of a leadoff spot with the Cardinals. Pitchers Sean Burke and Jose Soriano have also registered impressive outings, making them valuable streaming options.
