As the 2025 MLB season reaches its Week 7 mark, fantasy managers are faced with a somewhat quieter waiver wire than previous weeks. With the potential addition of players like Hyeseong Kim from the Los Angeles Dodgers and rising pitch prospect AJ Smith-Shawver from the Atlanta Braves, the decision-making process can be intricate.

Hyeseong Kim, primarily a second baseman, has showcased his speed and athleticism in the minors, but his translation to the big leagues is uncertain. Speculation surrounds his future playing time, especially with the recent setback of Tommy Edman. Meanwhile, AJ Smith-Shawver is a promising arm but struggles with command issues, making him a streaming candidate at best. Camilo Doval of the San Francisco Giants is experiencing a renaissance but remains in a precarious closer situation, making his acquisition risky despite his strong early-season stats.
