Will Kade Anderson Make his MLB Debut this Season?

Seattle Mariners starting pitching prospect Kade Anderson has enjoyed a dominant start to his professional career and could be making his MLB debut much sooner than expected. Anderson joined the Mariners with the third overall pick in last spring's draft but is quickly showing his elite upside in the upper minors. The Mariners assigned the […]


A.J. Ewing Sitting at the Top of the Stash List Following Triple-A Promotion?

The New York Mets promoted infield prospect A.J. Ewing to Triple-A Syracuse earlier this week, and he is quickly entering high-end stash territory for fantasy baseball. Ewing is ranked as the team's No. 3 prospect on MLB.com and the No. 87 overall prospect in the sport. Ewing began the 2026 campaign with Double-A Binghampton and […]


Spencer Jones Still on the Stash Radar Amid Skid?

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones has hit a bit of a skid at Triple-A and is falling down the stash rankings in Week 5. Over his last seven contests, the team's young slugger has posted a rough .091/.286/.136 slash line with just one extra-base hit (a double). However, prior to this power skid, […]


Thomas White Flashing Dominance at Triple-A, Entering Stash Conversation?

Miami Marlins left-handed pitching prospect Thomas White has looked dominant over his first two outings at Triple-A Jacksonville and quickly re-emerged on the stash radar. Through two starts (eight innings), the southpaw has posted a 1.13 ERA with a 0.80 WHIP. He has struck out 14 hitters while allowing just three free passes. The team's […]


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. The Cardinals gave Baez an opportunity to break camp in spring training, despite not logging a single at-bat with the Triple-A club, but he was unable to claim a starting role. Last […]


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. Jenkins entered the 2026 regular season as the team's No. 1 rake-prospect and the overall No. 11 prospect in the sport on MLB.com. Through the first 21 games of the Triple-A […]

Phillies Hopeful Jhoan Duran Will be Activated in a "Couple of Days"

According to Philadelphia Phillies president of baseball operations, Dave Dombrowski, the team hopes closer Jhoan Duran (oblique) will be ready in a "couple of days." When meeting with the press earlier on Tuesday, Dombrowski noted that the team remains very hopeful that their closer will be ready to return in the near future, potentially before […]


Yankees to Promote Top Pitching Prospect Elmer Rodriguez

The New York Yankees are promoting third-ranked pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez to make his MLB debut on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers. Rodriguez was considered to break camp with the MLB roster, with Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodon, and Clarke Schmidt all on the shelf. However, after a brief stint with the Triple-A, Rodriguez is set […]

NHL Power Rankings: Where Do All 16 Playoff Teams Stand (Round 1 Update)?

With the opening stretch of the Stanley Cup Playoffs in the books, some teams may have already begun to clear out their lockers, while others are on the brink of elimination. So far, we have seen both top seeds in each conference take care of business, winning their respective series in a week, and several […]


Max Clark Extending Dominant Stretch at Triple-A

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark has continued to impress at Triple-A and remains a top prospect to stash. Clark was given the opportunity to break camp with the MLB roster but was sent to Triple-A to begin the regular season. Even though he fell just short of the competition, Clark has looked quite comfortable […]


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. Over his last 10 contests at Sacramento, the team's No. 1 hitting prospect has seen his production take a steep decline, as he has held a .189/.250/.216 line with a […]


Robby Snelling Still Holds Priority Stash Upside Despite Rough Outing

Miami Marlins left-handed pitching prospect Robby Snelling took a big step back in his most recent outing at Triple-A, but remains a high-end stash candidate among pitching prospects. On April 24, Snelling had his worst outing of the young season, logging five innings of two-run ball with two hits and five walks. He struck out […]


Is Charlie Condon the Top Hitting Prospect to Stash?

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. Condon nearly broke camp with the MLB roster but was assigned to Triple-A to put the final touches on his development. However, with Triple-A, the former Georgia […]


Elian Pena Emerging as Top Dynasty Stash in Mets System?

New York Mets infield prospect Elian Pena is off to a dominant start to his time at Low-A St. Lucie. Over his first 19 contests at this level, the 19-year-old infielder has posted an impressive .338/.457/.459 line with a .916 OPS. He has gone deep once, added six doubles, and swiped eight bags.

5 Bargain Basement Hitters - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 4

The baseball season is about to hit high gear. Through the opening month, we have seen many rookies emerge as must-start players, especially Cincinnati's Sal Stewart, who is on a near 40-home run pace in his first "full" MLB campaign, and many early season waiver-wire heroes like Chase DeLauter look like lineup staples. With another week […]


Caleb Thielbar's Status Remains in Doubt After Exiting Early with Injury

Chicago Cubs left-handed relief pitcher Caleb Thielbar (leg) exited Thursday's contest early with an apparent left leg injury after blowing a save opportunity. With the team's primary closer, Daniel Palencia (oblique), already on the injured list, the Cubs turned to Thielbar to lock down the ninth inning on Thursday afternoon. After serving up a solo […]


Gerrit Cole Stays Sharp in Latest Rehab Outing, Approaching Season Debut?

New York Yankees right-handed pitcher Gerrit Cole (elbow) turned in another solid showing in his second rehab outing and is slowly working his way back to the major leagues. Cole has been on the shelf since the 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery with an internal brace procedure in March of 2025. While he […]


Spencer Strider Showing Increased Velocity in Rehab Outings

Atlanta Braves right-handed pitcher Spencer Strider (oblique) looked like his dominant self in his most recent rehab outing and appears to be quickly approaching his eventual 2026 season debut. In this outing for Triple-A Gwinnett, the right-hander racked up eight strikeouts over 4 1/3 shutout frames. He surrendered just one hit and walked only one […]


Blake Snell Remains Several Weeks Away From Return

Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed pitcher Blake Snell (shoulder) showed some rust in his first rehab outing. On April 22, the southpaw took the ball for Low-A Ontario and tossed one inning with three hits and two runs (one earned). He walked one batter and did not tally any strikeouts. Snell has been on the shelf […]


Jhoan Duran Not Expected to Miss Extended Time on Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jhoan Duran (oblique) is not expected to miss much time on the 15-day injured list. According to Jon Morosi of the MLB Network, the Phillies have expressed minimal concern about the long-term severity of the injury and that he would be "surprised" if the elite closer missed more than a month […]


Francisco Lindor Headed for Lengthy Stint on the Injured List?

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf) is in serious danger of having an extended stint on the injured list. The Mets officially placed Lindor on the 10-day injured list on Thursday, but reports suggest he could be on the shelf for an extended period. Per Joel Sherman of The New York Post, the Mets […]


Ryan Waldschmidt Showing Five-Category Upside at Triple-A

Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt remains a top hitting prospect to stash ahead of Week 5 of the fantasy baseball season. The top-hitting prospect in the Arizona system nearly broke camp with the MLB roster but was instead sent to Triple-A to put the finishing touches on his development. With the Reno Aces, Waldschmidt […]


Is Jett Williams Nearing his MLB Debut?

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jett Williams is quickly climbing the stash rankings ahead of Week 5 of the fantasy baseball season. The Brewers acquired Williams this offseason in the deal that sent right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta to the New York Mets. While Williams was unable to crack the Opening Day roster, he could be in […]


Kaelen Culpepper Continues to Produce at Triple-A, Nearing MLB Promotion?

Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper is continuing to find great success at Triple-A St. Paul and is quickly approaching an MLB debut. Through 20 total games this season, the infielder has posted a .265/.351/.422 line with a .773 OPS. He has tallied four doubles, hit three home runs, and swiped four bags. Over his […]


Miguel Ullola Emerging as Sneaky Pitching Prospect to Stash?

Houston Astros right-handed pitching prospect Miguel Ullola is emerging as a sneaky pitching prospect to stash. Currently, the Houston Astros have minimal depth in their starting rotation, with several key starters on the injured list, including ace Hunter Brown, Tatsuya Imai, and Cristian Javier. Ullola is currently at Triple-A and has continued to show steady […]
