The days leading up to the revocable waiver trade deadline are nowhere near as busy or filled with rumors as the July non-waiver deadline, but this week there was plenty of activity to keep interest high.

From the San Diego Padres continuing to make weird decisions to the two front-runners in their division adding veteran pieces, trade talk had substance this week.

But with the 25-man roster that MLB teams deploy, there can't be success without standout seasons from unheralded players. Over the next few slides, we'll identify the 10 most underrated players of the 2015 season.

Contenders are looking to improve their playoff-bound rosters, while other clubs simply want to unload contracts of players they don't feel are key pieces of the future.

Mike Fiers hasn't been with the Houston Astros long, but new surroundings didn't prevent him from settling into a groove and earning his first win with the franchise in style. 

In Houston's 3-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday at Minute Maid Park, Fiers tossed the 11th no-hitter in Astros franchise history and the first by a single pitcher since Darryl Kile did so in 1993, per ESPN Stats & Info.
