Jett Williams Remains Strong Stash Option Despite Slow Start at Triple-A

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jett Williams remains a worthy stash candidate in deeper formats despite falling short of the Opening Day roster and getting off to a slow start at Triple-A. Williams was traded to the Brewers in the offseason and was given a legitimate opportunity to break camp as a starting infielder. However, the […]


Joshua Baez Remains Priority Stash Target Among Outfield Prospects

St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez remains a top stash option in the early part of the fantasy baseball season. Baez nearly made the Opening Day roster out of spring training after he launched three home runs over a 10-game stint with a .333/.417/1.179 slash line. However, even with Lars Nootbaar (heel) on the […]

Fantasy Football Tight End Breakouts For 2026 - Sneaky Candidates To Claim TE1 Status

The tight end position is often the most volatile for fantasy football. Managers who rostered Trey McBride during the 2025 campaign likely enjoyed a deep playoff run, while the managers who used an early pick on players like Mark Andrews, Travis Kelce, and Sam LaPorta were likely very disappointed based on their end-of-season production. However, […]


Payton Tolle Entering Must-Stash Territory

Boston Red Sox left-handed pitching prospect Payton Tolle is coming off a dominant outing at Triple-A and is quickly entering must-stash territory. Facing Triple-A St. Paul, the southpaw logged six innings of two-run ball (one earned run) with four hits and just one walk. He struck out seven hitters. This was a strong bounce-back outing […]


Ryan Waldschmidt Emerging as Top Stash Candidate Given Open Outfield Role

Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt is continuing to see his value as a stash candidate increase in Week 2 of the fantasy baseball season. This week, the Diamondbacks shifted outfielder Jordan Lawlar (wrist) to the 60-day injured list. Lawlar now joins Pavin Smith (elbow) and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (elbow) of Arizona outfielders on the […]


Colt Emerson Continues to Knock on MLB Door Despite Minor Injury Setback

Seattle Mariners shortstop prospect Colt Emerson remains a high-end stash option despite suffering a minor foot injury. Earlier this week, Emerson took a foul ball off his foot (on April 4) but fortunately avoided a major injury. The top prospect underwent X-rays, all of which came back negative. He returned to game action on April […]


Robby Snelling Posts Seven-Strikeout Effort, Remains High-End Stash Target

Miami Marlins left-handed pitching prospect Robby Snelling turned in a strong bounce-back effort in his second start of the Triple-A regular season and remains a high-end stash target in all standard leagues. On April 3, Snelling was sharp against Triple-A Sugar Land, tossing four innings of three-run ball with an impressive seven punchouts. This was […]


Travis Bazzana Quickly Approaching MLB Debut?

Cleveland Guardians top infield prospect Travis Bazzana is quickly approaching his MLB debut. The former first overall pick battled injuries during the 2025 campaign but was very effective when on the field. He spent 51 games with Double-A, where he posted a .256/.364/.426 slash line with 12 doubles, five home runs, and nine stolen bases. […]


Bryce Eldridge Remains Priority Hitting Prospect to Stash

San Francisco Giants first base prospect Bryce Eldridge remains a high-priority hitting prospect to stash. Eldridge was in serious contention to break camp with the MLB roster but ultimately fell short in the competition for the first base/DH job. However, given that Eldridge reached the majors last season and played at a high level in […]

Cade Horton to Undergo Season-Ending Elbow Surgery

Chicago Cubs right-handed starting pitcher Cade Horton (elbow) is set to undergo season-ending elbow surgery. Horton was removed from his second start of the season due to this injury, but will now set his sights on returning to the bump in 2027. Horton made his season debut on April 28 and continued to perform at […]

When Will Spencer Strider, Jackson Chourio, Hunter Brown Return? Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates

With the 2026 regular season in full swing, it's time to look at the latest injury updates for some of the top fantasy assets. Even though it is early in the season, managers have already seen several players hit the IL, including many high-end selections. In this piece, we will analyze the latest injury updates […]


Jesus Made Showing Minimal Growing Pains at Double-A

Milwaukee Brewers top prospect Jesus Made is looking quite comfortable during his second taste of Double-A action. On Sunday, he posted an impressive four-hit effort with one home run, one walk, and a stolen base. He made a brief debut at Double-A during the final week of the 2025 season and posted a .261/.292/.348 line […]


Payton Tolle Strikes Out Seven in Latest Outing, Carries High-End Stash Upside

Boston Red Sox left-handed pitching prospect Payton Tolle enjoyed a dominant outing at Triple-A on Sunday and is emerging as the top pitching prospect to stash. Facing Saint Paul, Tolle logged six frames of two-run ball (one earned run) with four hits, one walk, and seven punchouts. This was a major improvement over the six […]


Kaelen Culpepper Enjoying Hot Start at Triple-A, Emerging as Sneaky Stash Option?

Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper launched two home runs across St. Paul's doubleheader on Sunday and is emerging as a top hitter stash candidate. Over his first eight games at the Triple-A level, Culpepper has posted a .294/.368/.559 slash line with three round-trippers, six runs, eight RBI, and a 7:3 K:BB. Last summer, the […]


George Klassen Struggles to Command Pitches in MLB Debut

Los Angeles Angels right-handed pitching prospect George Klassen showed some upside in his MLB debut on Sunday, but struggled to enjoy much consistency. Over a brief 2 2/3-inning outing facing the Mariners, Klassen would allow three hits, two earned runs, and allow a hefty five free passes. However, he would strike out four hitters. Much […]


Andrew Painter a Priority Target Ahead of Second MLB Start

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Painter looked sharp in his MLB debut last week and is emerging as a high-end target for upside on the waiver wire ahead of his second career outing. In his debut, Painter tossed 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball against the Washington Nationals. In this outing, Painter allowed just […]


Parker Messick Emerging as High-End Waiver-Wire Target

Cleveland Guardians left-handed pitching prospect Parker Messick turned in another strong performance in his second outing of the campaign and is emerging as a must-roster pitcher in standard 12-team leagues. Messick was given the starting nod in the second game of the doubleheader against the Cubs on Sunday and logged five innings of one-run ball […]


Hunter Brown Placed on 15-Day Injured List with Right-Shoulder Strain

The Houston Astros have placed right-handed pitcher Hunter Brown (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list with a right-shoulder strain. According to Matt Kawahara of The Houston Chronicle, this transition is retroactive to April 2. In a corresponding move, the Astros promoted Christian Roa from Triple-A Sugar Land. Brown made his last outing on March 31 […]

Isaac Paredes Placed on Bereavement List

Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes has been placed on the bereavement list, according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic. In a corresponding move, the Astros have promoted Shay Whitcomb from Triple-A Sugar Land. As a result, Paredes will miss at least three days of action but no more than seven days. The 27-year-old has […]


Jordan Lawlar Suffers Fractured Wrist, Set to Miss 6-8 Weeks

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jordan Lawlar (wrist) has been diagnosed with a fractured wrist and is set to miss the next six to eight weeks of action, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. The former top prospect hit his first career MLB home run on Thursday evening, but he was also hit by a […]


Cade Horton Exits Friday's Start with Forearm Tightness

Chicago Cubs right-handed pitcher Cade Horton (forearm) exited Friday's start with forearm tightness, according to Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports. Horton removed himself from Friday's contest in the second inning after experiencing pain in his right forearm. Before exiting, Horton logged one inning of work with one walk, no hits, and no runs. In his […]


Noah Schultz Sharp to Begin Season at Triple-A

Chicago White Sox left-handed pitching prospect Noah Schultz has looked sharp to begin the campaign at Triple-A and could contend for his MLB debut much sooner than expected this season. The southpaw has appeared in two Triple-A games (one start) and logged nine innings while allowing just one run. He has walked only two hitters […]


Jett Williams Nearing MLB Debut?

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jett Williams fell just short of making the Opening Day roster out of camp, but should be in the mix to earn the call to Milwaukee in the near future. Williams was the centerpiece of one of the prominent trades this offseason that sent Freddy Peralta to the New York Mets. […]


Joshua Baez Holding his Own During First Taste of Triple-A, Holds Solid Stash Upside

St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez was in the mix to break camp with the MLB roster but ultimately fell short in the competition. He was instead optioned to Triple-A Memphis to begin the 2026 regular season. Over his first five games at the top level of the minor leagues, the former 54th overall […]


Hagen Smith Starting to Knock on MLB Door

Chicago White Sox left-handed pitching prospect Hagen Smith has looked sharp to begin the season at Triple-A and is quickly approaching his MLB debut. The White Sox opted to send their former fifth overall pick from the 2024 MLB Draft to Triple-A Charlotte to open the 2026 regular season. Over his first two outings (logging […]


Bryce Eldridge Making Strong Case to Return to Major Leagues

San Francisco Giants first base prospect Bryce Eldridge continues to make a strong case to return to the major leagues in the near future. After a modest showing in spring training where the former 16th overall pick posted a low .225 AVG, the Giants opted to send him to Triple-A Sacramento to further his development. […]


Brody Hopkins Emerging as Deep-League Stash Candidate

Tampa Bay Rays right-handed pitching prospect Brody Hopkins is worth viewing as a deep-league stash candidate early in the 2026 regular season. Hopkins is considered the No. 3-ranked prospect in the Tampa Bay system and the No. 85-ranked overall in the sport, per MLB.com. The 24-year-old spent the entire 2025 campaign with Double-A Montgomery and […]
