Is Kaelen Culpepper the No. 1 Hitting Prospect to Stash?

Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper has continued to showcase high upside at Triple-A St. Paul and enters Week 10 as the primary hitting prospect to stash. Culpepper spent his 2025 season splitting time between High-A and Double-A, which earned him a ticket to the top cub to open the 2026 campaign. However, despite not […]


River Ryan on the Verge of MLB Promotion Following Eight-Strikeout Effort

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitching prospect River Ryan turned in another stellar effort at Triple-A Oklahoma City and is on the verge of joining the MLB roster. On Thursday evening, Ryan turned in his best showing of the campaign, tossing a season-high six frames with one run (unearned run) with only four hits, no walks, […]


Charlie Condon Sees Stash Value Soar During Nine-Game Hitting Streak

Colorado Rockies top prospect Charlie Condon has seen his stash upside soar over the past week amid his incredible performance at the plate. Over his last nine games, Condon has tallied at least one hit in all these games while carrying an overall .333/.436/.667 line with a 1.103 OPS. During this nine-game stretch, the former […]


Cole Carrigg Remains Elite Stash Target for Stolen Base Upside

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Cole Carrigg remains a priority stash target for managers needing stolen-base production. Carrigg was in the mix to potentially break camp with the MLB roster but was assigned to Triple-A to begin the 2026 regular season. However, during his first stint with the top club, the former 65th overall pick has […]


Is Braden Montgomery Still Worth Stashing Amid Triple-A Skid?

Chicago White Sox top hitting prospect Braden Montgomery has hit a bit of a skid at the top club in the minor leagues over the past week. After putting together a dominant start to his time at Triple-A, the former first-round pick has gone 0-for-13 over his last five games while holding a 7:3 K:BB. […]


Kade Anderson Remains Elite Stash Target Amid Incredible Start to Professional Career

Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Kade Anderson continues to hold must-stash value heading into Week 10 of the fantasy baseball season. Since joining the Mariners with the third overall pick in last year's MLB Draft, the former LSU standout has looked more than comfortable in the minor leagues.

Is Thomas White Still a Top Stash Target in Standard Leagues?

Miami Marlins top pitching prospect Thomas White (shoulder) was placed on the 7-day injured list last week. While this significantly decreased his short-term upside, White remains a top pitching prospect to stash, as he still holds a clear path to the majors. Before hitting the minor league injured list, the Marlins demoted Braxton Garrett to […]


Is Spencer Jones a Worthy Stash Option Following Demotion?

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones was quickly sent back to Triple-A following his brief MLB debut. Jones appeared in 10 games for the Bronx bombers and went 4-for-24 with a 12:3 K:BB and no extra-base hits. Jones was called on as a bench replacement and was unable to carve out a significant role […]


Ralphy Velazquez Firmly on the Stash Radar Amid Recent Triple-A Promotion

Cleveland Guardians first base prospect Ralphy Velazquez is now firmly on the stash radar amid his promotion to Triple-A Columbus. The first baseman was enjoying a stellar start to the campaign at Double-A and was rewarded with an early promotion to the top club, putting him just one step away from the big leagues. With […]


Walker Jenkins Back on the Stash Radar Following Positive Injury Update?

Minnesota Twins top outfield prospect Walker Jenkins has been on the 7-day injured list due to a shoulder injury, but has begun to make steady progress in his recovery. Last week, reports suggested that the former fifth overall selection from the 2023 MLB Draft was nearing a return to baseball activities. As a result, he […]


George Lombard Jr. Seeing Stash Value Surge Amid Improvements at Triple-A

New York Yankees top prospect George Lombard Jr. has begun to put his slow start at Triple-A behind him and is emerging as a viable stash option in a last-minute league. Lombard opened the campaign with Double-A Somerset but needed only another 20 games at this level to earn the call to the top club […]


Jacob Gonzalez Emerging as Top Stash Target with Five-Category Upside

Chicago White Sox infield prospect Jacob Gonzalez has enjoyed a dominant start to the Triple-A regular season and is emerging as a top stash target among infield prospects. Gonzalez currently sits as the No. 24-ranked prospect in the system on MLB.com but has performed at a borderline elite level despite his lower prospect pedigree. Through […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (shoulder) continues to recover from offseason surgery but is not expected to face many limitations during training camp. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the lead running back is not expected to participate in the upcoming min-camp but will "likely" be ready for training camp at some point. […]


Jaguars Think Parker Washington Can Replicate Second-Half Production

According to Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski, the team believes wide receiver Parker Washington is capable of replicating his dominant second-half production. Coach Udinski also noted that the staff believes the young wideout could take another step forward in 2026. After a quiet start to the season where he averaged just 6.4 PPR points over […]


Josh Jacobs Arrested on Five Charges, Booked Into Jail

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been arrested on five charges and booked into the Brown County Jail earlier on Tuesday, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.

According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Athletics are promoting top left-handed pitching prospect Gage Jump to the major leagues.

Rockies Promote Prospect Welinton Herrera, Worth a Speculative Add for Saves?

According to Thomas Harding of MLB.com, the Colorado Rockies are promoting their No. 14-ranked prospect, left-handed pitcher Welinton Herrera, to the MLB roster. Herrera has spent the first part of the 2026 season in Triple-A and will now make his MLB debut in the coming days. Herrera has operated primarily out of the bullpen with […]


White Sox Promote Prospect David Sandlin After Stellar Showing at Triple-A

The Chicago White Sox are promoting right-handed pitching prospect David Sandlin to the major-league roster, according to Elijah Evans of Just Baseball Media. Sandlin is currently ranked as the team's No. 18 prospect on MLB.com. However, despite his lower prospect pedigree, the right-hander has been near-perfect at Triple-A this season and carries some sneaky intrigue […]


River Ryan on the Verge of Joining Dodgers Rotation?

Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect River Ryan recently returned from his injured stint at Triple-A and is quickly in the mix to join the MLB rotation. Ryan spent a month on the Triple-A injured list with a minor hamstring injury, but has looked sharp in his return. Over his last two outings with Oklahoma City, […]


Kaelen Culpepper Knocking on MLB Door Ahead of Week 9

Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper continues to showcase his elite five-category profile at Triple-A and enters Week 9 as a must-stash prospect. Culpepper opened the campaign with Triple-A St. Paul after splitting the 2025 season between Double-A and Triple-A. Over 113 total games over the top levels last summer, Culpepper posted a .289/.375/.469 line […]


Kade Anderson Reclaims Must-Stash Value After Dominant Bounce-Back Effort

Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Kade Anderson enjoyed a dominant bounce-back effort after a season-worst showing. On May 15, the former LSU superstar's near-perfect regular season came to a sudden halt as he allowed six hits and five runs, both of which set season highs. However, on May 22, the left-hander quickly returned to form, logging […]


Is Thomas White Still Worth Stashing Following Shoulder Injury?

Miami Marlins top pitching prospect Thomas White (shoulder) was placed on the 7-day injured list last week with a shoulder injury. This was a tough blow for the budding ace as he appeared to have a clear path to making his MLB debut in the immediate future, as Robby Snelling was shifted to the 15-day […]


Luis Lara Surging Up Stash Rankings Amid Power Breakout at Triple-A

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Luis Lara has yet to slow down at Triple-A Nashville and enters Week 9 as one of the top prospects to stash in all of fantasy baseball. In 2025, Lara was better known as a contact hitter, going deep just twice over a 136-game stint at the Double-A level. However, since […]


Hagen Smith Remains Intriguing Stash Target with High Strikeout Potential

Chicago White Sox starting pitching prospect Hagen Smith continues to showcase high-end strikeout potential at the top club in the minor leagues. While Smith's overall production has remained far from consistent, the young southpaw has continued to miss bats at a high rate, which has caused his stash upside to gradually increase. The 22-year-old joined […]


Jesus Made Turns in Dominant Week at Double-A, Can He Debut in 2026?

MLB.com's No. 1-ranked prospect Jesus Made turned in an incredible week at Double-A and continues to push Milwaukee's hand for a potential second-half debut.
