TL;DRSkim

Yahoo's top adds for 6/4 — day-over-day ownership gainers across all leagues:

• TODAY'S ADDS — Bryce Eldridge (Giants 1B/DH carving out increasingly regular at-bats behind a .292 L14 tear with elite contact quality), Will Klein (Stuff+ 110 Dodgers reliever earning higher-leverage work on a 2.78 xERA run), Gage Jump (rookie lefty starting in the Athletics' rotation).
• STREAMS THIS WEEK — Paul Goldschmidt (xwOBA .386 against a .244 L14 — underperforming his underlying skill), Ryan Weathers (Yankees lefty with an elite 27.9% whiff rate, though xERA says regression looms).
• WATCH LIST — Brayan Rocchio (everyday SS in Cleveland, but xwOBA lag and a tiny barrel rate undercut the surface line), Nick Gonzales (everyday PIT infielder with a wide xwOBA-vs-wOBA gap but an unsustainable BABIP), Yoendrys Gómez (Twins closer whose 5.18 xERA towers over his ERA — regression flag).
• Bottom line: Eldridge and Klein are the two genuine roster adds today; Jump is the rotation fill-in to target in deeper leagues or AL-only formats.

ADD Bryce Eldridge

1B · SF · 9% owned (▲ +1.0pp day-over-day)

Why he's being added: Eldridge, the Giants' top prospect and a former first-round pick, has been working his way into more regular at-bats since late May. He opened the year buried behind Rafael Devers and a hot Casey Schmitt and was mostly a bench bat, but beat writers and the staff have pushed toward "everyday Eldridge," and he's been starting more often at first base and DH. Over the last 14 days, he's slashing .292 with 1 HR and 3 RBI across 11 games, running a 1.025 OPS with 8 runs scored. The underlying Statcast profile is the real draw: a .393 xwOBA, 13.0% barrel rate, and 58.7% hard-hit rate all say the contact quality is genuinely outpacing the surface line — this isn't a luck-driven hot streak.

Watch ░░░▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ Add · 75% — trending toward everyday reps on elite contact quality

Verdict: Add. The trend is toward more playing time, and a .393 xwOBA against a .292 average points to a hitter whose results should keep climbing. The power is legitimate; the at-bats are coming.

ADD Will Klein

RP · LAD · 2% owned (▲ +1.0pp day-over-day)

Why he's being added: Klein — the Dodgers' Game 3 World Series folk hero from last October — has parlayed that moment into a growing role, and Los Angeles has steadily handed him higher-leverage work, including his first career save on May 20. Over the last 14 days he's been carefully deployed in tight spots, riding a flawless 0.00 ERA across 4.1 innings with five strikeouts. The arsenal backs it: a 110 Stuff+ and a 2.78 xERA. Season-wide, he sits at a 1.93 ERA (23.1 IP, 25 K over 18 games) with a 1.03 WHIP and 9.6 K/9 — results that even outrun his xERA — and a 21.9% whiff rate confirms the swing-and-miss is real.

Watch ░░░▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ Add · 70% — elite stuff, limited sample, rising-leverage track

Verdict: Add. Klein pairs a 110 Stuff+ and sub-3.00 xERA with a clear, climbing role in a contending Dodgers bullpen. The low ownership and elite peripherals make him a high-value add in mixed leagues where pitching depth matters — and he's a sneaky source of vulture saves and holds.

ADD Gage Jump

SP · ATH · 12% owned (▲ +1.0pp day-over-day)

Why he's being added: Jump, the Athletics' No. 3 prospect (and a top-50 name in the game), was called up when Aaron Civale hit the IL with shoulder tendinitis and has stuck in the rotation. After a rocky MLB debut against Seattle on May 26 (four runs in five innings), he bounced back emphatically in his second start on June 2 at Wrigley, tossing seven innings of one-run ball with five strikeouts to earn his first career win in a 2-1 A's victory over the Cubs. Across that two-start window he's at 12.0 IP, 10 K, with a 3.09 xERA and 20% whiff rate. The full-season ledger is tiny and ugly (the debut spiked his ERA), but the recent form and the open runway behind Civale are the signal.

Watch ░░░░▓▓▓▓▓░ Add · 55% — rotation spot open behind Civale, strong second start, prospect pedigree

Verdict: Add in deeper leagues and AL-only formats; stream in shallow mixed. Jump is a high-upside young lefty with a real runway as long as Civale is out, and the Wrigley start showed the front-line tools (plus fastball, three breaking balls). In 12-team mixed, hold if your pitching is lean; in smaller leagues, prioritize more established arms until he strings together a few more outings.

STREAM Paul Goldschmidt

1B · NYY · 6% owned (▲ +1.0pp day-over-day)

Why he's being added: Goldschmidt is in a part-time but steady role at first base for the Yankees, rotating in against lefties and spot-starting versus some righties. Over the last 14 days he's scuffled to .244 (12-49) with 2 HR and 9 RBI and a .727 OPS, well off his stronger season line. The encouraging signal: his .386 xwOBA sits well above his .305 wOBA, and a 46.7% hard-hit rate with a 13.3% barrel rate says he's still squaring the ball up — a classic buy-low whose surface results should rebound.

Watch ░░░░▓▓▓▓▓░ Add · 55% — xwOBA lag signals a rebound, but the part-time role caps the ceiling

Verdict: Stream. The xwOBA-to-wOBA gap (.386 vs .305) flags a hitter whose average is artificially low and due to climb, but the part-time role keeps this a short-term stream — best deployed this week against a favorable arm-side matchup.

STREAM Jake Bauers

1B · MIL · 46% owned (▲ +1.0pp day-over-day)

Why he's being added: Bauers is Milwaukee's everyday first baseman, hitting in the middle of the order and starting consistently — five straight games batting fifth over the last week. The recent line is cold: .159 (7-44) with 3 HR and 7 RBI and a .628 OPS across the last 14 days. But the contact quality says better days are coming — a .355 xwOBA, a 53.3% hard-hit rate, and a 12.6% barrel rate all point to loud contact that hasn't fallen in yet. It's a small, slumping sample wrapped around a strong underlying profile.

Watch ░░░░▓▓▓▓░░ Add · 45% — everyday role, cold L14, but the xwOBA says rebound

Verdict: Stream. The L14 line is ugly, but the hard-hit and xwOBA numbers say the bat is fine. As an everyday first baseman owned in under half of leagues, he's a reasonable stream this week with the contact quality pointing up — and a hold-worthy bat if the power resurfaces.

STREAM Ryan Weathers

SP · NYY · 71% owned (▲ +1.0pp day-over-day)

Why he's being added: Weathers, acquired from Miami over the winter, has been a rotation regular and one of the Yankees' pleasant surprises in 2026. Over his last 14 days he's thrown 13.2 innings with 14 strikeouts and a 3.41 ERA (1.02 WHIP), and on the season he's at roughly a 3.0-3.5 ERA with double-digit strikeout upside (10.8 K/9) — he's reached double figures in punchouts twice already. The caution: his 3.98 xERA sits nearly a run above his ERA, hinting that some fortune or strong defense is in play. His 27.9% whiff rate is genuinely elite for a starter.

Watch ░░░░░▓▓▓▓░ Add · 50% — elite whiff rate, xERA lag signals ERA regression, already widely owned

Verdict: Stream. The whiff rate is real and worth rostering for the strikeouts, but the xERA-to-ERA gap warns the run prevention will likely back up. At 71% owned he's barely a waiver play — stream him this week and temper expectations on the ERA going forward.

WATCH Brayan Rocchio

SS · CLE · 50% owned (▲ +1.0pp day-over-day)

Why he's being added: Rocchio is Cleveland's everyday shortstop, with a locked-in playing-time runway. Over the last 14 days he's hit .307 (12-39) with no homers, 1 RBI, and 3 steals — a respectable .776 OPS driven more by average and speed than pop. The concern: his .320 xwOBA trails his .340 wOBA, his barrel rate is a microscopic 3.0%, and his 33.3% hard-hit rate is pedestrian — signs the average is running ahead of the contact quality.

Watch ▓▓░░░░░░░░ Add · 20% — everyday role, but soft contact undercuts the surface line

Verdict: Watch. The role is secure, but the xwOBA lag and tiny barrel rate suggest the contact quality doesn't support his current production, and there's little power to fall back on. Wait for a week of better underlying contact before adding in shallower formats.

STREAM Nick Gonzales

SS, 2B, 3B · PIT · 14% owned (▲ +1.0pp day-over-day)

Why he's being added: Gonzales is an everyday infielder for the Pirates, starting consistently over the last week. Over 14 days he's slashing .285 (14-49) with 2 HR, 8 RBI, and 10 runs (.826 OPS). The signal is genuinely mixed: his .340 xwOBA tops his .276 wOBA — suggesting hard contact that hasn't fully translated — but his .391 BABIP is unsustainable and his 2.4% barrel rate is alarmingly low for that xwOBA. That disconnect is a yellow flag: either the contact-quality read is noisy, or the BABIP corrects and the average follows it down.

Watch ░░░░▓▓▓▓░░ Add · 50% — xwOBA/BABIP disconnect, everyday role, sample risk

Verdict: Watch/stream. The xwOBA-vs-wOBA gap is encouraging, but the combination of a 2.4% barrel rate and a .391 BABIP makes a regression toward the .260s likely. The role is locked, so he's a fine deep-league stream — just don't chase the surface line in shallower formats until the underlying contact backs it up.

WATCH Yoendrys Gómez

RP · MIN · 9% owned (▲ +1.0pp day-over-day)

Why he's being added: Gómez has been working as Minnesota's closer, with save chances in hand. Over the last 14 days he's thrown 6.1 innings across 7 games with 10 strikeouts, a 1.41 ERA, and 2 saves; on the season, that's 30.0 IP (23 games) with a 3.90 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 8.7 K/9, and 4 saves. The red flag is loud: his 5.18 xERA sits well above his 3.90 ERA — the inverse of a breakout profile — and his 24.3% whiff rate is fine but not dominant for a ninth-inning arm.

Watch ░░░░░░▓▓▓░ Add · 9% — closer role, but xERA >> ERA points to regression, ordinary whiff rate

Verdict: Watch. Gómez has the saves, which carries standalone value, but the gap between his 5.18 xERA and 3.90 ERA is a major regression warning — the hot run looks fortune-aided, and the ERA should climb. Roster him only if you specifically need saves, and treat the role as fragile rather than secure.
