Bubba Chandler Prospect Update for Fantasy Baseball
After a rough June, the right-hander has flipped the script in July and appears to have nearly completed his development. In his most recent outing on July 10, Chandler tossed six shutout innings en route to picking up the victory over Triple-A Gwinnett. In this start, he allowed six hits and two walks. He struck out seven.
In his previous start, Chandler logged six shutout innings with six punchouts, five hits, and two walks.

Bubba Chandler Outlook for Fantasy Baseball
While his June production (8.53 ERA, 2.29 WHIP in 12 2/3 innings) hindered his short-term upside, Chandler has been able to get back on track and should be viewed as a must-start option in all formats. During the first two months of the campaign, the No. 2-ranked prospect in the sport posted an elite 2.03 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and a 69:21 K:BB through 48 2/3 innings.
Last summer, Chandler made his Triple-A debut and posted a 1.83 and a 1.04 WHIP.
Fantasy managers should view Chandler as a must-stash prospect in all formats. He will carry high upside when he earns the call to Pittsburgh.
