Ryan Waldschmidt Carries High-End Stash Value in Week 3

Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt remains an elite stash option in all standard leagues in Week 3 of the fantasy baseball season. The 23-year-old nearly broke camp with the MLB roster but was optioned to Triple-A Reno to begin the 2026 campaign. With Reno Waldschmidt, he has looked more than comfortable, which suggests he […]


River Ryan Continues to Hold Sneaky Stash Value Among Pitching Prospects

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitching prospect River Ryan continues to hold sneaky stash value in Week 3 of the fantasy baseball season. Ryan underwent Tommy John surgery in August of 2024 and has been on the shelf ever since. He participated in spring training and was quite effective, logging 9 2/3 innings with a 1.86 […]


Colt Emerson Remains Top Hitting Prospect to Stash, Closing in on MLB Debut?

Seattle Mariners infield prospect Colt Emerson is on the verge of making his MLB debut and remains a top hitting prospect to stash in all fantasy formats. The No. 1-ranked prospect in Seattle was recently added to the 40-man roster and is "as close as they come" to an MLB debut, according to Seattle's president […]


Bryce Eldridge Riding Dominant Stretch at Triple-A, Remains High-End Stash Option

San Francisco first base prospect Bryce Eldridge remains an elite stash option in all standard formats in Week 3 of the fantasy campaign. The team's top hitting prospect was in strong contention to break camp with the MLB roster but fell just short. However, since returning to Triple-A Sacramento, Eldridge has been playing at an […]


Charlie Condon Continues to Knock on MLB Door in Week 3

Colorado Rockies first base prospect Charlie Condon continues to remain a high-end stash target among hitting prospects in Week 3 of the fantasy baseball season. Condon was given an opportunity to break camp with the MLB roster, but fell short in the competition as TJ Rumfield has served as the primary first baseman. However, during […]


Kaelen Culpepper Worth a Deep-League Stash?

Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper has yet to slow down since moving up to Triple-A St. Paul and is climbing the stash ranks in Week 3 of the fantasy baseball season. Through his first 14 games at the top level of the Twins system, the infielder has posted a solid .250/.318/.417 slash line with […]


Max Clark Not Slowing Down at Triple-A, Path to MLB Debut Remains Clear

Detroit Tigers top prospect Max Clark has yet to slow down during his first taste of Triple-A and is quickly approaching his MLB debut. After spending most of the 2025 campaign with High-A and Double-A, the Tigers opted to send their No.1 outfield prospect to Triple-A to begin the 2026 campaign. Through his first 14 […]


Robby Snelling Viewed as Top Stash Candidate After 12-Strikeout Effort

Miami Marlins starting pitching prospect Robby Snelling remains a high-priority stash target following his dominant 12-strikeout effort at Triple-A. On April 10, Snelling looked near unhittable at Jacksonville, tossing five shutout frames with two hits and four walks, while racking up 12 punchouts. Over his first two outings of the campaign (eight total innings), the […]


James Tibbs III Emerging as Top Hitter to Stash

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III continues to dominate at the Triple-A level and is quickly entering must-stash territory. Even though the Dodgers' outfield is filled at the moment, Tibbs has looked more than comfortable at Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin the regular season. Through 15 games, the former 13th overall pick has […]


Payton Tolle Carries High-End Stash Upside Entering Week 3

Boston Red Sox pitching prospect Payton Tolle remains a must-stash candidate in Week 3 of the fantasy baseball season. Tolle is coming off another strong showing at Triple-A Worcester, where he logged five shutout innings with just three hits and one walk while striking out six hitters. In his previous outing, Tolle was just as […]

MLB Prospects - Ryan Waldschmidt

When Is Ryan Waldschmidt Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 3 Update)

Arizona Diamondbacks top outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt was in serious consideration to break camp with the MLB roster, with both Corbin Carroll and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. on the shelf. However, with Carroll being cleared ahead of Opening Day, Waldschmidt was instead sent to Triple-A Reno to continue his development to begin the regular season. Should […]

When Is Payton Tolle Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 3 Update)

Boston Red Sox top pitching prospect Payton Tolle has flashed elite upside while he has progressed through the minor leagues and could make an immediate impact when he returns to Boston. While he did not crack the team's Opening Day roster, a recent injury could push him back to the big leagues much sooner than […]


Max Clark - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Top Prospects for 2026

When Is Max Clark Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 3 Update)

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark was unlikely to break camp with the major league roster in spring training, but he has turned into a dominant start at Triple-A, which could open the door for a much-earlier-than-expected debut. While fellow top prospect infielder Kevin McGonigle stole most of the headlines this spring, Clark possesses just […]


Bryce Eldridge - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB DFS Lineup Picks

When Is Bryce Eldridge Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 3 Update)

San Francisco Giants top prospect Bryce Eldridge made his MLB debut late in the 2025 campaign but was unable to crack the Opening Day roster in 2026, following an underwhelming showing in spring training. Even though his short-term stock has taken a bit of a hit, Eldridge remains a high-end prospect that could make a […]


Charlie Condon Prospect Graphic

When Is Charlie Condon Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 3 Update)

Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon made headlines this spring but was unable to crack the team's Opening Day roster. However, Condon has looked quite comfortable during his first taste of Triple-A action and could be in the mix to make his MLB debut in the near future on a rebuilding Rockies team. Should […]


George Lombard Jr. Flashing Elite Upside in Minor Leagues

New York Yankees shortstop prospect George Lombard Jr. is looking quite comfortable at the Double-A level and is making a strong case to make his MLB debut later this season. The team's No. 1-ranked prospect, according to MLB.com (and No. 32 overall), has held a .476/.522/.952 line over his first five games with Double-A this […]


Thomas White Showcasing High-End Strikeout Upside on Rehab Assignment

Miami Marlins left-handed pitching prospect Thomas White (oblique) has made two rehab appearances with Low-A Jupiter while working his way back from an oblique injury he suffered during camp. In his first outing, the team's top pitching prospect struck out four hitters over 2 1/3 innings. On Thursday, he made his second appearance, striking out […]


River Ryan Seeing Value Increase as Stash Option

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher River Ryan is emerging as a sneaky stash candidate for fantasy baseball. Ryan fell short of the Opening Day rotation, but could be in the mix to return to the majors much sooner than expected. He made his MLB debut back in 2024 and was quite sharp, logging 20 1/3 […]


Kaelen Culpepper Gaining Value as Stash Candidate

Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper has enjoyed an impressive start to his time at the Triple-A level and is quickly climbing up the stash rankings. Through his first 11 contests at the top level of the Minnesota system, Culpepper has posted a .283/.365/.500 slash line with one double, three home runs, and a stolen […]


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 […]
