Can Cooper Pratt Make his MLB Debut in 2026?

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Cooper Pratt is currently ranked as MLB.com's No. 66 overall prospect and could make his MLB debut in the second half. Even though he will likely have to compete with fellow Triple-A prospect Jett Williams for a role on the MLB roster, Pratt could be called upon to reach the major […]


Kaelen Culpepper Enters Week 9 as No. 1 Prospect to Stash?

Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper has continued to swing a hot bat at Triple-A St. Paul and enters Week 9 as one of the top overall prospects to stash in fantasy. With Royce Lewis now in the minor leagues, Culpepper stands as one of the top options in the system to join the MLB […]


Thomas White Placed on 7-Day Injured List, Still Holding High-End Stash Value?

According to MiLB.com, Miami Marlins top pitching prospect Thomas White (undisclosed) has been placed on the 7-day injured list. This is a tough blow for the budding ace, as it appeared the young left-hander was in serious consideration to make his MLB debut in the immediate future. With Robby Snelling recently moved to the 15-day […]


Can Carlos Lagrange Make his MLB Debut in 2026?

New York Yankees right-handed pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange has continued to improve in the minor leagues and is seeing his stash value continue to climb each week. Even though Carlos Rodon is back in action and Gerrit Cole is set to return later this week, fantasy managers should monitor Lagrange at Triple-A, as he could […]


Cole Carrigg Emerging as Top Hitter to Stash as MLB Debut Looms Closer?

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Cole Carrigg is now firmly on the stash radar in Week 8 of the fantasy baseball season. Carrigg opened the 2026 season by making his Triple-A debut and has shown minimal growing pains when facing the top pitching of the minor leagues. Over his first 42 games at the top club […]


Gage Jump Carries Elite Strikeout Upside Among Stash Candidates

Athletics top pitching prospect Gage Jump remains one of the elite prospects to stash when looking for strikeout upside. Jump joined the Athletics with the 73rd overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, but has already moved up to Triple-A and is just one stop away from the big leagues. In 2025, Jump split his […]


Jordan Lawlar Still Holding Stash Upside Amid Looming Return?

Arizona Diamondbacks infield/outfield prospect Jordan Lawlar (wrist) has been on the 60-day injured list for the majority of the regular season but has recently begun to make strides in his return. Earlier this week, the former top prospect took dry swings for the first time. Additionally, the team's manager, Torey Lovullo, noted that his wrist […]


Jett Williams Emerging as Top Stash Candidate Amid Dominant Month at Triple-A

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jett Williams is quickly knocking on the MLB door as he has swung a hot bat in May at Triple-A Nashville. Since May 1, the infielder has carried a stellar .308/.464/.577 slash line with four doubles, two triples, two home runs, three stolen bases, and a 13:14 K:BB. This is worth […]


Kemp Alderman Sees Stash Value Decline After Suffering Injury

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman (wrist) was on pace to compete for an early MLB debut this season, but he suffered an injury earlier this week and was officially moved to the seven-day injured list. Alderman sustained a wrist injury during a collision at a Triple-A contest. While this does hurt his short-term value, […]

Finding breakout starting pitchers on the waiver wire can provide your fantasy team with a massive spark.

Last week, we took a look at […]


Jonah Tong a Priority Stash Ahead of Looming Return to Major Leagues?

New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Jonah Tong could be in the mix to join the starting rotation in the major leagues in the near future. Earlier this week, the Mets placed starting pitcher Clay Holmes on the 15-day injured list with a fractured fibula, which will keep him on the shelf for at least […]


Is Kade Anderson Entering Must-Stash Territory?

Seattle Mariners top pitching prospect Kade Anderson has fully put himself in must-stash territory, given his incredible start to his first professional campaign. Last year's No. 3 overall pick was sent to Double-A to begin his professional career and has been nothing short of incredible. With Arkansas, the southpaw has flashed incredible upside, logging 34 […]


Joshua Baez Soaring in the Stash Rankings Amid Power Binge

St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez has enjoyed an impressive power surge over the past week at Triple-A Memphis and is quickly climbing to the top of the stash rankings among both hitters and pitchers.

River Ryan a Must-Stash Candidate with Clear Path to Starting Role?

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitching prospect River Ryan has seen his stash value skyrocket over the past week. Not only has Ryan returned from a lengthy stint on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A, but he now has a clear path to a role on the MLB roster. Blake Snell recently joined Tyler Glasnow on […]


Luis Lara Knocking on MLB Door Ahead of Week 8

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Luis Lara has enjoyed a dominant start to the Triple-A campaign and is quickly knocking on the MLB door. Lara is considered the team's No. 11-ranked prospect on MLB.com and was not given much consideration to begin the regular season with the MLB roster during spring training. In 2025, he spent […]


Colt Emerson Holds Must-Add Value Ahead of Full-Time Role in Seattle

Seattle Mariners infield prospect Colt Emerson was recently promoted to the MLB roster ahead of Sunday night's contest and is set to become the primary third baseman with Brendan Donovan on the shelf.

George Lombard Jr. Next in Line for Starting Shortstop Job in the Bronx?

New York Yankees top prospect George Lombard Jr. could be in the mix to make his MLB debut much sooner than anticipated. With the team's current shortstop, Jose Caballero, on the injured list and the replacement option, Anthony Volpe struggling to make much of an impact, the Yankees could fast-track their top prospect to fill […]


Hagen Smith Viewed as Top Stash Option with Elite Strikeout Potential

Chicago White Sox starting pitching prospect Hagen Smith is climbing up the stash ranks among pitchers and could be in the mix to debut in the coming weeks. Throughout his time in the minor leagues, Smith has flashed elite strikeout upside and could provide immediate value for fantasy managers. Smith spent the next 2025 season […]


Charlie Condon Seeing Stash Upside Plummet Amid Lengthy Power Drought

Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has seen his stash upside continue to drop as his slump at Triple-A lingers.

Elmer Rodriguez Set for Early Return to Yankees Rotation?

New York Yankees right-handed pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez could be in the mix to return to the MLB roster in the near future. Earlier this week, the team's ace, Max Fried, exited his start early with an elbow injury. While it is yet to be seen whether Fried will have a stint on the injured […]


Braden Montgomery Emerging as Priority Hitting Prospect to Stash

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery is seeing his stash value continue to increase, and he enters Week 8 as one of the top hitting prospects to stash.
