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 […]


Bucky Irving is Expected to be Ready for Training Camp

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 the report, the running back has been charged with battery, criminal damage of property, disorderly conduct, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a […]


Athletics to Promote Top Pitching Prospect Gage Jump to Major Leagues

According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Athletics are promoting top left-handed pitching prospect Gage Jump to the major leagues. Currently, the southpaw is ranked as the overall No. 41 prospect in the entire sport on MLB.com. Jump was selected with the 73rd overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft out of LSU and was […]


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. The Brewers' top prospect has had an incredible .371/.395/.600 line with two doubles, two home runs, and three stolen bases over his last seven contests. Overall, Made has looked quite comfortable […]


Joshua Baez Remains Top Stash Target With Five-Category Upside

St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez remains a top hitting prospect to stash, thanks to his elite five-category potential. Even though Baez has seen his contact skills drop at Triple-A this season, he has continued to flash high-end power and elite speed when on the field. Through his first 44 games at the top […]


Braden Montgomery Enters Week 9 as No. 1 Prospect to Stash?

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery recently moved up to Triple-A and enters Week 9 as an elite stash option among hitting prospects. Even though Montgomery has endured a brief three-game hitless skid, the team's top hitting prospects remain on the verge of an MLB debut. Prior to this short slump, Montgomery enjoyed a […]


Edwin Arroyo Not Slowing Down at Triple-A, Remains Elite Stash Target

Cincinnati Reds prospect Edwin Arroyo has remained one of the best hitters throughout all of the minor leagues and remains on the verge of making his MLB debut. Through his first 48 contests at the top club of the minor leagues, Arroyo has posted an incredible .344/.402/.595 with a .997 OPS. Arroyo has launched 10 […]


Carlos Lagrange Firmly Off the Stash Radar After Rough Showing?

New York Yankees right-handed pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange remains in the mix to compete for a late-season MLB debut but has begun to see his short-term stock take a hit. In his most recent outing of the young season on May 22, Lagrange allowed five runs to Lehigh Valley in just five innings of work. […]


Franklin Arias Extends Power Surge, Remains in Play for Late-Season Debut?

Boston Red Sox top infield prospect Franklin Arias continues to showcase elite upside at the Double-A level and remains in play for a late-season MLB debut. Through his first 36 games with Double-A Portland this season, the team's No. 1-ranked prospect per MLB.com has posted a dominant .346/.422/.662 slash line with a dominant 1.084 OPS. […]
