Philadelphia Phillies infield prospect Aidan Miller (back) has yet to take the field this season and is quickly losing stash value.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III has continued to swing a hot bat at Triple-A and is making a strong case to join the MLB roster. Through 27 games with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Tibbs has posted an impressive .291/.408/.699 slash line with seven doubles, 11 home runs, and a stolen base. During this […]


Will Kade Anderson Make his MLB Debut this Season?

Emmanuel Rodriguez Quickly Approaching MLB Promotion?

Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez has continued to heat up at Triple-A and is emerging as a sneaky stash candidate in deep formats. Through 22 games at Triple-A, Rodriguez has posted a .253/.412/.533 slash line with a .945 OPS. During this stint, Rodriguez has gone deep six times, tallied three doubles, and swiped three […]


Is Joshua Baez Nearing his MLB Debut?

St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez has flashed his raw power at Triple-A and could be slowly progressing toward his MLB debut.

Walker Jenkins Still on the Stash Radar After Slow Start?

Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins is off to a slow start to the Triple-A regular season and is falling down the stash rankings.

Logan Henderson Continues to Soar Atop Stash Rankings in Week 5

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitching prospect Logan Henderson continues to perform at a high level at Triple-A and is on the verge of returning to the major leagues. Since returning after his one spot-start with the Brewers this season, Henderson has logged 9 2/3 innings (three outings) with a near-perfect 0.93 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and a […]


Is Bryce Eldridge Still Worth Stashing Amid Power Skid?

San Francisco Giants first-base prospect Bryce Eldridge has hit a bit of a skid at Triple-A but still holds high-end upside in all 12-team formats.

Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has continued to perform at an elite level at Triple-A and remains a high-end hitting prospect to target for fantasy baseball.
