Week three of the fantasy baseball season is underway, which means it's time to work the wavier wire! Of course, not every single player on this list will be 0% owned, but there's a good shot you'll be able to pick up most of the players listed below. That being said, let's dive into the ten best week three wavier wire pickups for your 2024 fantasy baseball team.

 

 

Reid Detmers (Starting Pitcher)	Los Angeles Angels
James McArthur (Relief Pitcher)	Kanas City Royals
Jose Siri (OF)	Tampa Bay Rays
David Fry (C, 1B, OF)	Cleveland Guardians
Blaze Alexander (2B, SS)	Arizona Diamondbacks
Luis Gil (Starting Pitcher)	New York Yankees
Paul Blackburn (Starting Pitcher)	Oakland Athletics
Michael A. Taylor (OF)	Pittsburgh Pirates
Kyle Muller (Relief Pitcher)	Oakland Athletics

 

 

Reid Detmers

 

Coming off of two gems, Reid Detmers will face the Boston Red Sox again this week and look to improve to 3-0.

 

 

James McArthur

After shutting down the Chicago White Sox for his 2nd save of the season, James McArthur looks to be in line as the primary closer going forward for the Royals with veteran Will Smith struggling early.

 

Jose Siri

 

Jose Siri is racking up stolen bases and with the bat starting to get hot, could be in line to start piling up some big fantasy numbers.

 

 

David Fry

 

David Fry offers some lineup flexibility with him playing multiple positions and is also carrying a .455/.529/.818 slashline with an OPS of 1.348.

 

Blaze Alexander

 

With Geraldo Perdomo suffering a torn meniscus, Blaze Alexander is in line for way more opportunities and should be in the everyday lineup going forward.

 

Luis Gil

 

Luis Gil has been effective against two solid lineups to start the year and faces the Cleveland Guardians this week, Gil still has iffy command but potential for big strikeout numbers are there.

 

Paul Blackburn

 

Still only 12% rostered, Paul Blackburn has a 0.00 ERA through his first two starts and faces a weak Washington Nationals lineup this weekend.

 

 

Michael A. Taylor

 

Playing time will be the issue with Michael A. Taylor as it's looking like he'll only platoon against lefties, but his .400/.429/.500 slashline may be something to take note of.

 

Kyle Muller

 

Kyle Muller is currently the go to long reliever for the Athletics, but his 1.13 ERA and 0.50 WHIP over 8 innings could lead to him returning to being a full time starter with Oakland's weak staff.
