Kade Anderson a Prime Stash Option with Path to MLB Opportunities

Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Kade Anderson has thus far lived up to his draft-day billing as one of the top arms in the class after getting drafted third overall in 2025. The former first-rounder has perhaps even exceeded those lefty expectations with a downright dominant first season in professional ball at Double-A Arkansas. The southpaw […]


Seaver King Settling Back in After Injured List Stint

Washington Nationals infield prospect Seaver King is settling back in at Triple-A Rochester after being sidelined for almost a month with an oblique injury. The Nats' sixth-ranked prospect is 4-for-15 (.267) with a pair of doubles and two walks in the four games since returning from the injured list. The right-handed hitter began the season […]


Joshua Baez a Must-Stash with Open Role on MLB Roster

St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez remains one of the top bats to stash in fantasy, and with the departure of Lars Nootbaar at the trade deadline, there is one less roadblock to playing time with the big league club. The Cardinals' third-ranked prospect is 11-for-30 (.367) over his last eight games, with eight […]


Cooper Ingle Extends Multi-Hit Game Streak to Eight Straight

Cleveland Guardians catcher/outfield prospect Cooper Ingle has been on an absolute tear since returning to Triple-A Columbus, producing eight consecutive multi-hit efforts, and he has multiple hits in 14 of the 19 games since being sent back down in early July. During that time, he's hitting .425 with nine doubles and five home runs, registering […]


Pirates to Promote Ronny Simon After Dominant Triple-A Effort

Pittsburgh Pirates infield/outfield prospect Ronny Simon is expected to get the call to the big leagues on Wednesday after a strong campaign at Triple-A Indianapolis. The 5-foot-8 Dominican hit .330 with seven home runs and 33 steals in 99 games for the Indians, while producing a strong .419 on-base percentage thanks in part to a […]


Angel Genao an Intriguing Waiver Add Upon Promotion to Majors

Cleveland Guardians infield prospect Angel Genao is getting promoted to the majors on Wednesday for what will be his MLB debut. The Guardians' second-ranked prospect earned the call-up after a strong season that began at Double-A (24 games) and progressed to Triple-A (71 games). Both stops were productive, but he seemed to get even better […]


James Tibbs III Still Producing, but Hopes for 2026 Debut Fading

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III is still putting up good numbers at Triple-A Oklahoma City, going 7-for-20 (.350) over his last five games, with two doubles, a triple, one steal, and a 3:3 BB:K.

Cam Cannarella Continues to Trend Up, is He Worth Stashing?

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Cam Cannarella has held his own since being promoted to Triple-A in mid-July, now 12-for-43 (.279) with four doubles, a home run, and five steals through his first 11 games with Jacksonville. The Marlins' seventh-ranked prospect is striking out more than normal, 29.4 percent compared to just 13.3 percent at Double-A, […]


Franklin Arias Rounding into Form at Triple-A

Boston Red Sox infield prospect Franklin Arias has begun to hit his stride at Triple-A Worcester after going 0-for-8 in his first two games there. Boston's top-ranked prospect has now collected a hit in his last five games, going 7-for-22 (.318) with two doubles, two home runs, and a 4:4 BB:K. The 5-foot-11 Venezuelan earned […]


Charlie Condon Continues to Display Stash-Worthy Pop

Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon's strong Triple-A campaign continued on Sunday, collecting a walk and a pair of hits, including a home run that ended an 18-game homerless drought. Despite the home run cold spell, the Rockies' third-ranked prospect now has 21 through 91 games, along with a strong .287/.402/.553 slash line. The […]


Walker Jenkins Pads MLB-Ready Resume With Latest Three-Hit Effort

Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins has been a steady force at the plate for Triple-A St. Paul this year and has reached base safely via hit or walk in 23 straight games after a three-hit effort in his latest contest on Sunday.

In this week's […]


Kemp Alderman a Speculative Stash Option for Power

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman blasted his 14th home run of the season on Wednesday in a two-hit effort for Triple-A Jacksonville. The Marlins' eighth-ranked prospect is hitting .326 in 12 July games for the Jumbo Shrimp, which has raised his season-long slash line to .295/.372/.515. The former second-rounder offered stolen base potential last […]


Andrew Fischer Up to 29 Home Runs in 2026

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman prospect Andrew Fischer mashed his way to Double-A back in mid-June after hitting .298 with a 1.118 OPS and 20 home runs in 54 games. The Brewers' seventh-ranked prospect is hitting just .250 at the next level, but still owns a stout 1.022 OPS with nine home runs in 27 games […]


Jonathon Long Making Strong Case for MLB Debut

Chicago Cubs first baseman/outfield prospect Jonathon Long is having a strong season at Triple-A Iowa, but has been particularly hot as of late. The Cubs' sixth-ranked prospect is 17-for-36 (.472) over his last eight games, including a three-hit, four-hit, and even a five-hit performance, during which time he tallied five doubles, two home runs, and […]


Cam Cannarella Launches First Triple-A Home Run on Wednesday

The Marlins' seventh-ranked prospect is now 3-for-19 (.158) in five games for the Jumbo Shrimp with a 4:6 BB:K and a stolen base. He earned a promotion after dominating at High-A and […]


Luke Adams Logs Another Multi-Hit Game, Remains on Stash Radar

Milwaukee Brewers corner infield prospect Luke Adams collected a pair of hits for the second day in a row on Wednesday, smacking a pair of singles, drawing a walk, and scoring once for Triple-A Nashville. The Brewers' 11th-ranked prospect is hitting .341 in July with two doubles, two home runs, three steals, and a 5:5 […]


Jack Wenninger Falling Off Stash Radar

New York Mets pitching prospect Jack Wenninger needed 78 pitches to get through three innings in his latest start, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out two.

Michael Arroyo Flashing Upside at Triple-A

Seattle Mariners infield/outfield prospect Michael Arroyo earned a promotion to Triple-A back on July 7 and has looked like he belongs there, collecting a hit in eight of the 10 games he's played in, going 17-for-45 (.378) with three doubles, a triple, two home runs, and a pair of stolen bases. He's struck out eight […]


Quinn Mathews a Stash-Worthy Pitcher for Second Half

St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Quinn Mathews appears to be on the precipice of a major league debut after a strong season at Triple-A Memphis. The southpaw has been rolling as of late, allowing two earned runs or fewer in eight of his last nine starts, but for the most part, he's been pitching well […]


Jacob Melton Remains a Stash Consideration for Stolen Base Potential

Tampa Bay Rays outfield prospect Jacob Melton is hitting .327 at Triple-A Durham since his return from the injured list back on June 24, with four doubles, three home runs, three steals, and a 7:11 BB:K over 13 games. For the season, the former second-rounder is hitting .272 with a solid .377 on-base percentage thanks […]


Hagen Smith's Command Woes Persist, but 2026 MLB Debut Still Likely

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Hagen Smith returned to action on Sunday, coming out of the bullpen for one inning of relief for Triple-A Charlotte. While the lefty struck out two batters in the inning, he also allowed a hit and yielded three walks, so there are still some improvements to be made. Chicago's top […]


Jett Williams' MLB Debut on Hold With Wrist Injury

Milwaukee Brewers infield/outfield prospect Jett Williams (wrist) remains shelved with a wrist injury that the team considers minor, according to manager Pat Murphy. Though he hasn't been placed on the injured list, the Brewers' fifth-ranked prospect hasn't seen game action since July 7, a game in which he went 0-for-3. Prior to that hitless outing, […]


James Tibbs III Continues to Make Case for MLB Debut

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III continues to produce while biding his time at Triple-A Oklahoma City in wait of an MLB call-up. The Dodgers' ninth-ranked prospect is 9-for-22 (.409) over his last seven games, including a pair of doubles and a 3:2 BB:K. The former first-round draft pick has put together a […]


Luke Adams Gets Back on Track With Multi-Hit Performance

Milwaukee Brewers corner infield prospect Luke Adams went 2-for-4 with a run scored on Tuesday, getting back to pre-All-Star-break form. The Brewers' 11th-ranked prospect was 9-for-20 (.450) in the six-game lead-up to the break, but came out of the break just 1-for-11 (.091) before Tuesday night's multi-hit effort. The former 12th-rounder missed over a month […]


Sammy Stafura Stays Red-Hot With Multi-Hit, Multi-Steal Performance

Pittsburgh Pirates infield prospect Sammy Stafura logged yet another multi-hit performance on Tuesday, his 10th multi-hit effort in his last 15 games at High-A, while adding a pair of steals. After an uneven start to the season, which included two stints on the injured list, Stafura is now making up for it. Since June 25, […]


Jonny Farmelo Earns the Call to Double-A

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Jonny Farmelo earned a promotion to Double-A Arkansas and logged his first game there on Tuesday, collecting a hit and drawing a walk while also stealing a base in the contest. The promotion comes after a solid first half at High-A Everett, where the Mariners' fifth-ranked prospect hit .267 with a […]


Murf Gray's Second Home Run at Double-A was a Grand One

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman prospect Murf Gray was recently promoted to Double-A, his second promotion of the season already, and he's collected a hit in three of the first four games for Altoona, including his second home run at that level on Tuesday, which was a grand slam. Not only that, the Pirates' third-ranked prospect […]


Max Clark Blasts Leadoff Home Run as MLB Debut Approaches

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark belted a leadoff home run for the Mud Hens on Tuesday in a two-hit night as he continues to make the case for a major-league debut. The Tigers' top-ranked prospect is hitting .306 in 13 games at Triple-A in July, with four doubles, three home runs, three steals, and […]


Caleb Bonemer Still Trending Upward as He Settles in at Double-A

Chicago White Sox infield prospect Caleb Bonemer was promoted to Double-A Birmingham in mid-June and is holding his own despite being one of the younger players at that level.
