Bubba Chandler, Pittsburgh Pirates

Currently At Triple-A
30% rostered

After being viewed as the top pitcher prospect ot stash for nearly the first two months of the season, Chandler saw his stock plummet after a disappointing June. During this month, Reds' star Chase Burns quickly surpassed him and even earned the call before him.

From June 1 through June 22, Chandler has logged just 9 1/3 innings (four starts) and allowed a hefty 12 runs (11 earned) with 5:8 K:BB. On June 22, Chandler had his worst outing of the season, allowing six runs and five hits across 2 2/3 innings.

However, Chandler began to return to form in his most recent outing on Saturday, June 28, tossing 3 1/3 innings of one-run ball. He tallied six strikeouts in this outing but showed weak command once again, allowing four free passes.

While this recent slump has caused many fantasy managers to cut ties with him in shallower formats, fantasy managers in 12+ team leagues should continue to stash the No. 2-ranked prospect in baseball. Prior to June 1, Chandler appeared to be the next budding pitcher in the game, posting an elite 2.03 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and a 69:21 K:BB.

During these 48 2/3 innings, Chandler allowed just 11 total runs.

During his first taste of Triple-A last season, the right-hander looked just as dominant as he did during the opening months of 2025, holding an elite 1.83 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP across 39 1/3 innings. In this stint, the right-hander struck out 54 batters and allowed just 15 free passes.

While his short-term stock has dropped significantly, this could be an excellent opportunity to scoop up Chandler off the waiver wire if an impatient manager cuts ties.

Andrew Painter, Philadelphia Phillies

Currently At Triple-A
5% rostered

The top prospect in Philadelphia was in a similar slump as Chandler but has been able to break out of it rather quickly. Since serving up 10 earned runs across two outings, one on June 4 and June 10, the former 13th overall pick has gone on to log 14 1/3 innings (three starts) to the tune of a 2.51 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP.

During this stretch, Painter has struck out 16 batters and allowed seven free passes.

Over his first four starts at Triple-A (before his rough two-game slump), Paitner held a similar 2.65 ERA with a 1.23 WHIP.

The right-hander opened the campaign with Low-A after missing the entirety of the 2023 and 20234 seasons due to Tommy John surgery. Even though he missed a significant portion of time, Painter needed only 11 1/3 innings at the Low-A level to prove he was ready to make the jump to Triple-A.

While seeing Painter break out of his slump is promising, the most important factor regarding the 22-year-old is his workload. Seeing Painter consistently log five innings of work in each outing is very important for his rest-of-season outlook.

Earlier in June, Phillies manager Rob Thomson noted that Painter will likely not be in the mix to make his MLB debut before the All-Star break. However, with Aaron Nola (ankle) on the 60-day IL and not making much progress, Painter could push their hand.

He is a solid stash option in all standard formats. If he continues to find his footing, he could surpass Chandler as the top pitcher to stash.

Quinn Mathews, St. Louis Cardinals

Currently At Triple-A
1% rostered

The left-hander appeared on the fast track to make his MLB debut since returning from the IL, but had a brief setback this week. On June 24, Mathews allowed two hits, six walks, and five runs through just 1 1/3 innings of work.

Prior to this disappointing outing, Mathews looked quite strong since returning from his shoulder injury. Over his first 18 2/3 innings at Triple-A after his injury, Mathews held a solid 2.89 ERA with a 1.34 WHIP. During this stretch, the 24-year-old struck out 25 batters and allowed 13 walks.

Last season, the No. 40-ranked prospect (according to MLB.com) progressed through the St. Louis system at a remarkable pace and was even in play to reach the majors late in the campaign. The Stanford product began the campaign with Low-A and was able to conclude the season with Triple-A. Through 126 2/3 innings with Low-A, High-A, and Double-A, the southpaw posted an elite 2.27 ERA with 0.85 WHIP.

He showed near-perfect command, allowing only 35 walks while striking out 180 batters. However, in his first look at Triple-A, Mathrwews took a step back, allowing 12 runs in 16 2/3 innings.

If the left-hander can continue to progress at Triple-A, he should be in the mix to join the Cardinals shortly after the All-Star break. If they remain in the Wild Card race, he will have a path to remain in the majors during the stretch run.

LHP Quinn Mathews (AAA) was nearly unhittable this afternoon, tossing 5.0 scoreless innings while allowing one base hit (single) and punching out 6.

Since being activated for the IL on May 31, the southpaw is 2-0 with a 2.30 ERA in 4 starts. pic.twitter.com/nxsjO4QPC7

Joe Boyle, Tampa Bay Rays

Currently At Triple-A
6% rostered

Even though Tampa Bay's rotation is currently full and without a clear opening for Boyle, he still warrants consideration on this list and remains at the No. 4 spot. After a rough campaign with the Athletics in the season, posting a 6.42 ERA with a 172 WHIP across 47 2/3 innings, the right-hander has looked like a new pitcher in Tampa Bay.

Boyle has spent almost all of his time with Triple-A Durham, outside of a spot start in April. Through 68 innings with the Durham Bulls, Boyle has begun to find his footing in the pros, posting an elite 1.85 ERA with a 0.99 WHIP. During this stretch, Boyle has struck out an impressive 88 batters while allowing only 28 free passes.

In his lone outing in Tampa Bay, Boyle tossed five innings of two-run ball (zero earned runs) with no hits and two walks. He struck out seven.

However, despite his incredible success, without a clear path to the major leagues, Boyle is only worth stashing in deep 12+ team leagues for the time being. However, if one of the Tampa Bay starters were to miss it with an injury, Boyle would be viewed as a priority waiver-wire target. This is a great opportunity to get ahead of your league mates, especially in more competitive formats.

If he were to earn several starts down the stretch, he could provide high-end SP4 production.

Nolan McLean, New York Mets

Currently At Triple-A
1% rostered

The final pitcher we will look at this week is Nolan McLean of the Mets. Griffin Canning suffered a season-ending Achilles injury, which could have opened the door for McLean. While the Mets have several young arms in their rotation, I would suggest stashing McLean over all of them. Brandon Sproat also resides at Triple-A but has not been as consistent as McLean.

In addition, Jonah Tong at Double-A has been more impressive, but he is unlikely to be in the mix to reach the majors this season.

McLean is currently considered the No. 6-ranked prospect in the system on MLB.com. The right-handed pitcher opened the season with Double-A but needed just 26 1/3 innings to prove he was ready for Triple-A action. Through this short stint at Double-A, the right-hander posted a stellar 1.37 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP. He tallied 30 strikeouts and allowed only 12 walks.

Through his first 49 2/3 innings with Triple-A Syracuse, the Oklahoma State product has been rather impressive, posting a 2.72 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP. The right-hander has maintained similar strikeout upside, tallying 45, but has shown slightly weaker command, serving up 22 walks.

He has allowed at least two walks in each of his last seven starts. If McLean can show improved control during July, he could earn the call shortly after the All-Star break. While Sean Manaea (elbow) is expected to join the rotation soon, he has faced numerous setbacks and may not be able to take on a sizable workload early on.

Nolan McLean last night for Triple-A Syracuse:

6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 4 K. 85 pitches (53 strikes) with 11 swings & misses

He hasn’t allowed more than 2 runs in an outing since 5/15

In 9 Triple-A outings, he has a 2.72 ERA
