Fantasy Baseball Category Pickups: Chase Silseth, Mike Tauchman, Joey Votto

It’s that time again! Time to get those waiver wire claims in to start the week. Whether your team simply needs an injury replacement or a full overhaul, we’ve got you covered. I’ve got a little bit of everything in this week’s edition, so keep scrolling to find that perfect waiver-wire pickup based on your needs.

All players listed are rostered in less than 50% of Yahoo leagues and can help you in at least one of the major categories. Many of them will help in a variety of ways, but their main contributions should come under the heading they are listed. Like most weeks, many of these players won’t long, so it’s best to make haste when adding these studs.

Without further ado, here are this week’s top waiver wire adds based on category.

Batting Average

Mike Tauchman (OF – CHC): 45%

I’ve been hesitant to add Tauchman for weeks but the man just keeps on producing. Leading off against righties for the Cubs, Tauchman is hitting .283 on the season but .387 in August. He’s also a walk machine working the base on balls over 13 percent of the time. His OBP in August is over .500 and he even stole two bases and hit two dingers. As long as he can keep up this level of production, he deserves a roster spot in all but the shallowest of leagues.
