James Tibbs III a Must-Stash Prospect with Opening on MLB Roster?
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III has been viewed as an intriguing fantasy baseball prospect for a while now, but up until recently, there hadn't been much room for him on the major league roster. That's no longer the case, as outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) is headed to the 10-day injured list. While the Dodgers have recalled Ryan Ward to take Hernandez's spot on the 26-man roster for now, Tibbs could force the front office's hand and earn a promotion. Through 51 games this season, he is slashing .310/.413/.616 with 14 home runs, three steals, a 14.6% walk rate, a 25.8% strikeout rate, and 156 wRC+. He's up to 32 extra-base hits on the year, and his blend of contact and power should continue if (and when) he reaches the major league roster. Tibbs has jumped to #12 among outfield prospects in RotoBaller's latest redraft rankings, and he's currently available on the waiver wire in 97% of leagues.
