Infield Fantasy Baseball Breakout Candidates: High-Upside Draft Targets for 2026

In the back half of your draft, it is crucial to target players that not only have a safe floor but also possess the upside to become league-winning assets. Last season, managers who took the late-round flier on Nico Hoerner, Jacob Wilson, and Jeremy Pena were rewarded with the breakout campaigns. In this piece, we […]


Owen Caissie in Position to Claim Everyday Role?

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Owen Caissie appears to be in a great position to claim a lead role in the Miami offense out of spring training. Caissie was the headliner piece in the trade that sent right-hander Edward Cabrera to the North Side of Chicago earlier this winter. Caissie is now viewed as Miami's No. […]


Dylan Beavers a Name to Watch in Spring Training

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Dylan Beavers is a name to closely monitor in spring training. Beavers reached Baltimore last summer and posted a modest .237/.375/.400 line over his brief 35-game stint. During this stretch, the California product hit four home runs and swiped two bases. In the minor leagues, Beavers showed five-category upside, which makes […]


Ryan Waldschmidt has Easier Path to Make Opening Day Roster?

Arizona Diamondbacks top outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt could have an easier path to crack the Opening Day roster following the injury to Corbin Carroll (hand). With the team's top outfielder on the shelf with a fractured hamate bone and in serious danger of missing the start of the season, Waldschmidt could emerge as a top […]


Carter Jensen a Prime Breakout Candidate in 2026

Kansas City Royals catching prospect Carter Jensen is a top breakout candidate heading into the 2026 regular season. Jensen made his MLB debut later in the second half last summer and immediately flashed upside. Through his first 20 MLB games, the former third-round selection posted a .300/.391/.550 slash line with three long balls. Under the […]


JR Ritchie Could Compete for Starting Role in Atlanta Rotation?

Atlanta Braves right-handed pitching prospect JR Ritchie is a name to closely monitor during spring training, as he could break camp with the MLB roster following the injury to Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow). With Schwellenbach on the 60-day IL with an elbow injury, Ritchie could make a strong push to open camp in the starting rotation. […]


Colt Emerson in Consideration to Break Camp with MLB Roster

Seattle Mariners top prospect Colt Emerson is in serious consideration to break camp with the MLB roster. According to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com, the team's President of Baseball Operations, Jerry Dipoto, noted that it's "not out of the question" that the top shortstop prospect begins the season in Seattle. According to MLB.com, Emerson, the former […]

Second Base Fantasy Baseball Draft Targets and Avoids: ADP Report (2026)

The second base position is one of the most difficult to analyze heading into the 2026 season. While there are clear stars at the top, like Ketel Marte and Jazz Chisholm Jr., most of the position features players with inconsistent profiles and track records, making them difficult to select at their current prices. In this […]

Josh Hader Dealing With "Bicep Inflammation," Opening Day in Doubt

According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, Houston Astros relief pitcher Josh Hader (biceps) underwent imaging that revealed inflammation in his biceps. Earlier in the offseason, Hader dealt with "arm soreness" as well. While the veteran is expected to resume a throwing program later on Wednesday, his status for Opening Day is "in flux." Managers […]


Corbin Carroll Suffers Broken Hamate Bone, in Danger of Missing Opening Day

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (hand) suffered a broken hamate bone during live batting practice on Tuesday and is set to miss significant time this spring. Given this injury, Carroll's status for Opening Day is now in serious question. The star outfielder is a consensus first-round selection in all fantasy formats. Last summer, the former […]


Jackson Holliday to Start Season on Injured List with Broken Hamate Bone

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday (hand) will begin the 2026 campaign on the injured list due to a broken hamate bone in his right hand. Jake Rill of MLB.com reported that Holliday will undergo a procedure on Thursday, and his timeline will be measured in "weeks" after Opening Day. The former first overall was […]

FYPD Sleepers, Draft Targets and Avoids - 2026 Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Prospects

The First-Year-Player Draft (or FYPD for short) is one of the most exciting times for dynasty fantasy baseball managers. Similar to dynasty fantasy football leagues, this is when the top rookies enter the player pool, and managers can add them to their teams. While some FYPDs are not as deep as others, there are several […]


Phillies Continue to Shop Nick Castellanos on Trade Market

According to Scott Lauber of The Inquirer.com, the Philadelphia Phillies continue to shop outfielder Nick Castellanos on the trade market. Throughout the offseason, the Phillies have made it clear they were looking to move off the veteran outfielder. However, they have yet to find a suitor and now may enter spring training with him still […]


Wilyer Abreu Viewed as "Everyday" Player in Boston Lineup

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu is viewed as an "everyday" player in the Boston lineup, according to manager Alex Cora. Last summer, Abreu was typically held on the bench when facing southpaws, but he is now expected to earn the starting nod against both right-handed and left-handed pitching. Through 115 games last season, Abreu […]


Ty Madden Expected to be Cleared for Spring Training

Detroit Tigers right-handed pitching prospect Ty Madden (shoulder) is expected to be a full-go ahead of spring training. Madden suffered a strained rotator cuff last spring and was unable to pitch the next campaign. However, following a successful offseason, the 25-year-old appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of the 2026 campaign. In […]


Pavin Smith to Primarily Play First Base in 2026

According to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Pavin Smith is expected to play primarily at first base in the upcoming season. In 2025, Smith drew 36 starts at first base while seeing a much higher 47 starts at the DH spot. In 2024, Smith spent most of his time in the outfield, […]


Miguel Amaya Enters Camp at "100 Percent"

Chicago Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya (ankle, oblique) feels "100 percent" entering spring training. The team's backstop played in only 28 games during the 2025 campaign due to oblique and ankle injuries. During this limited stint of action, Amaya was quite productive, posting a .281/.314/.500 slash line with nine doubles, four home runs, and a 22:4 […]


Jose Quintana Signs One-Year Contract With Rockies

According to Robert Murray of FanSided.com, the Colorado Rockies have signed veteran left-handed pitcher Jose Quintana to a one-year contract worth $6 million.

Carson Benge Viewed as Potential Starter in Right Field

New York Mets outfield prospect Carson Benge is viewed as a potential starting option in right field ahead of spring training.

Additionally, he will compete […]
