Jack Wenninger Falling Off Stash Radar After Second Consecutive Dud

New York Mets pitching prospect Jack Wenninger began the season with a 1.51 ERA after allowing just six earned runs through his first eight starts at Triple-A Syracuse, but after allowing four runs in his latest outing, he's now yielded eight runs over his last two starts. Because of the great start to the season, […]


With Return Nearing, Should Managers Stash Jordan Lawlar?

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder/outfielder Jordan Lawlar (wrist) has been rehabbing with the team's Complex League affiliate, but is poised to move his rehab to Triple-A Reno by the end of the week, according to manager Torey Lovullo. The former top prospect is 2-for-8 with a double, a 2:2 BB:K, and a steal through three rehab games. […]


Should Fantasy Managers Put Jesus Made on the Stash Radar?

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jesus Made collected four hits in two games this past Saturday, including a double and a triple, upping his season-long slash line at Double-A to .280/.355/.460 with six home runs and 19 steals. With a low 15.0 percent strikeout rate and a 10.7 percent walk rate, it's a formidable stat sheet […]


Is Jett Williams Still a Stash Candidate Amid Deep Slump at Triple-A?

Milwaukee Brewers infield/outfield prospect Jett Williams is in the midst of a really tough stretch at Triple-A Nashville, going 3-for-35 (.086) over his last nine games with zero extra-base hits. The Brewers' third-ranked prospect was hitting .256 on May 21, but has seen his average dip to .227 amid the slump. The former first-rounder still […]


Spencer Jones Rolling Again at Triple-A, Nearing Return to the Majors?

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones is hitting the ball well again for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, collecting three multi-hit efforts in his last four contests, going 7-for-16 (.438) over that stretch with one home run, two steals, and a 4:4 BB:K. The Yankees' sixth-ranked prospect returned to minor league action on May 26 after a […]


Luis Lara a High-End Stash Option with Multi-Category Potential

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Luis Lara is just 1-for-9 in his last three games, but that hasn't stopped him from getting on base, as the Brewers' fifth-ranked prospect recorded four walks during that time, compared to just one strikeout -- a phenomenal trait he's been displaying all season at Triple-A Nashville. For the season, the […]


Could Franklin Arias Make His MLB Debut in 2026?

Though Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Franklin Arias went 0-for-4 on Sunday, he's still riding a 12-game on-base streak after getting hit by a pitch in the game, and he has now reached base safely in 37 of 41 games at Double-A Portland. The 20-year-old's 1.026 OPS is second-best in the Eastern League, second only […]


Cole Carrigg Remains a Must-Stash for Stolen-Base Upside

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Cole Carrigg has cooled off somewhat over his last five games, going 3-for-18 (.167) over that stretch, but two of his three hits went for extra bases (doubles), he continued to get on base with a 4:5 BB:K, and stole three bases during that time. For the season, the Rockies' sixth-ranked […]


Is Thomas White a Stash Option Without Clear Timetable for Return?

Miami Marlins pitching prospect Thomas White (shoulder) was placed on the 7-day injured list on May 20 (retroactive to May 19), but has yet to come off the IL and is not listed as the probable starter for any of Triple-A Jacksonville's upcoming games, so a return timetable remains unclear. Marlins president of baseball operations […]


Walker Jenkins Nearing Rehab Assignment, Worth Stashing Ahead of Return?

Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins (shoulder) is making progress in his return from a Grade 2 AC joint sprain in his left shoulder as he's reportedly begun to take swings off a hitting machine and could be ready to start a rehab assignment next week, according to Twins general manager Jeremy Zoll. The Twins' […]


Charlie Condon Riding 12-Game Hitting Streak, MLB Debut Imminent?

Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon's 31-game homerless stretch feels like a distant memory after the week and a half that he's had for Triple-A Albuquerque, blasting four home runs in his last seven games, including a walk-off winner in his latest contest. The power surge is part of a longer 12-game hit streak […]


Braden Montgomery Breaks Out of Slump, Remains Firmly on Stash Radar

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery broke out of a recent slump with a strong four-game stretch at Triple-A Charlotte that saw him go 8-for-16 (.500) with two doubles, a home run, four RBI, seven runs scored, and a stolen base. Perhaps most impressive of all was that the switch-hitter did not strike out […]

Hitter Fantasy Baseball Breakouts - Risers to Watch and Waiver Wire Outlooks (Week 10)

Welcome back to my Fantasy Baseball Breakout Hitters article for Week 10 of the 2026 MLB regular season. The focus of this column is to highlight players who could be breaking out, taking a look at current active hitting streaks along with recent leaders in batting average, isolated power (ISO), stolen bases, and more. Some […]


Is the Arrow Still Pointing Up for Rainiel Rodriguez After Slow Start at Double-A?

St. Louis Cardinals catching prospect Rainiel Rodriguez was promoted to Double-A earlier this month, but hasn't quite found his footing at the new level yet. The Cards' second-ranked prospect slashed .311/.430/.519 in 28 games at High-A before being promoted, and while he had a pair of multi-hit performances in his first three games there, he's […]


Is Jesus Made on Track to Debut in 2026?

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jesus Made has had a good season at Double-A, but even by his standards, he has kicked it up a notch over the last week and a half. MLB's No. 1 overall prospect went 12-for-28 (.429) with a double, three home runs, and two steals (three caught) over a six-game stretch […]


With Breakout Season at Double-A, has Franklin Arias Become a Stash Target?

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Franklin Arias isn't slowing down at Double-A Portland, currently riding a five-game hitting streak, during which time he's gone 10-for-24 (.417) with a double, a triple, and four home runs. Boston's top-ranked prospect is hitting .343 on the year with 12 home runs and four steals, while his 1.079 OPS […]


Is Cooper Pratt's Recent Surge Enough to Earn MLB Debut?

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt has been making his case for a major league debut over the last couple of weeks, going 17-for-56 (.304) over his last 14 games with three doubles, four home runs, three steals, and nearly as many walks (nine) as strikeouts (11) during that time. For the season, the Brewers' […]


Max Clark Still a Top Hitter to Stash with Multi-Category Potential

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark remains firmly on the stash radar after hitting safely in 12 of his last 14 games at Triple-A Toledo, going 16-for-60 (.267) during that stretch with four doubles, a triple, one home run, and two stolen bases. The Tigers' top-ranked prospect owns a respectable .267/.338/.390 slash line in 46 […]


James Tibbs III Homers, Remains a Top Stash Option as Strong Season Continues

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III broke a 21-game homerless drought on Tuesday in a 2-for-6 day at the plate, belting his 12th home run of the season. As has been the case this year, his big power comes with a lot of swing-and-miss, with the Dodgers' 10th-ranked prospect striking out in three […]


With Carlos Lagrange Struggling at Triple-A, is He Still Worth Stashing?

New York Yankees pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange gave up five earned runs in his latest start at Triple-A, the second time he's done so in his last four starts, which has bloated his ERA for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to 4.78 over 10 starts in all. The Yanks' fourth-ranked prospect brings the heat, with his four-seamer averaging 99.1 […]


Is Jaxon Wiggins Worth a Stash Amid Slow Rehab Progress?

Chicago Cubs pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins (elbow) has been sidelined since early April with elbow inflammation, but has progressed to throwing bullpens over the last month. While it's progress, he's not ready to return to game action yet, according to president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer. There was also no return timeline provided, so it […]


Should Fantasy Managers Stash Aidan Miller Despite Murky Return Timeline?

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop prospect Aidan Miller (back) resumed light baseball activities last week, so hopefully that means he'll be swinging a bat soon, and although there has been no additional update from the Phillies since then, the 21-year-old should be on fantasy managers' stash radar if a rehab stint is on the way in the […]


After Two-Homer Game, Joshua Baez Remains a Must-Stash for Power Upside

St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez continued his power display at Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, belting two home runs in a 4-for-6 effort, giving him six home runs in his last 12 games and 13 on the season. The Cards' third-ranked prospect is still striking out way too much with a 33.0 percent K%, […]


Yohandy Morales Stays Hot, Emerges as a Top Hitter to Stash

Washington Nationals corner infield prospect Yohandy Morales continues to rake for Triple-A Rochester, collecting at least two hits in four of his last five contests, raising his season-long slash line to a sizzling .355/.431/.587 with 10 home runs. The Nats' 28th-ranked prospect hit well at Double-A last season, but batted just .249 with a 30.3 […]


Is Gage Jump a Priority Pickup Ahead of Tuesday's MLB Debut?

Athletics pitching prospect Gage Jump has been called up from Triple-A Las Vegas and will start on Tuesday at home against the Mariners. The start will be his major league debut after making nine starts for the Aviators this season. The Athletics' third-ranked prospect's season-long numbers don't look all that impressive (4.50 ERA, 1.47 WHIP), […]


Jack Wenninger Still a Stash Option After Rough Outing?

New York Mets pitching prospect Jack Wenninger could still be the next pitcher in line for a promotion when the team needs to fill a rotation spot despite turning in his worst outing of the season in his latest start. The Mets' fifth-ranked prospect carried a sterling 1.51 ERA into Sunday's start for Triple-A Syracuse, […]


Cole Carrigg a High-End Stash Option with Stolen Base Upside

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Cole Carrigg has been a consistent producer all season at Triple-A Albuquerque, reaching base via hit or walk in 43 of his 47 games played. The Rockies' sixth-ranked prospect's season slash line stands at a robust .358/.424/.551 with five home runs, while his speed has helped him to five triples (second-most […]


Jett Williams Remains a Stash Target with Multi-Category Potential

Milwaukee Brewers infield/outfield prospect Jett Williams has hit safely in nine of his last 12 games, going 13-for-45 (.289) over that stretch with three doubles, two triples, and two home runs, upping his season-long slash line to .247/.411/.578. The Brewers' third-ranked prospect also has 11 steals for Triple-A Nashville and is boasting a 14.0 percent […]


Promotion Nearing for Charlie Condon With Open Role on MLB Roster?

Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon's major-league debut could be right around the corner, as the former third overall draft pick is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, during which time he's gone 9-for-28 (.321), including four doubles and a home run. Not only that, but Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield exited […]
