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.

Milwaukee Brewers top prospect Jesus Made is looking quite comfortable during his second taste of Double-A action.

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.

Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes has been placed on the bereavement list, according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic.

The 27-year-old has […]

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.

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 […]


Nick Lodolo Exits Rehab Outing Early, Facing Potential Setback

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Nick Lodolo (finger) exited his rehab outing early with Low-A Daytona on Thursday evening. The southpaw was expected to throw around 60-65 pitches in this outing, but managed to throw only 40 before leaving the bump early. Lodolo completed 2 2/3 shutout frames with no hits or walks and struck out […]

Carter Jensen Removed from Thursday's Lineup

Kansas City Royals catcher Carter Jensen (undisclosed) was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup due to an undisclosed injury. Instead, the Royals will move outfielder Jac Caglianone to the DH spot, which opens a position for Lane Thomas in the outfield. Through the early part of the young season, Jensen has spent time both behind […]


Konnor Griffin - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Draft Rankings, MLB Rookie Sleepers

When Is Konnor Griffin Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 2 Update)

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop prospect Konnor Griffin is viewed as the consensus No. 1 prospect in baseball. During the 2025 season, he immediately flashed high upside and was climbing the minor leagues at an impressive rate. While he was unable to crack the MLB roster after spring training, he was sent to Triple-A, which suggests his […]


Konnor Griffin Being Promoted to MLB Roster Ahead of Friday's Contest

According to Jason Mackey, the Pittsburgh Pirates are promoting top infield prospect Konnor Griffin to the MLB roster ahead of their home opener on Friday. Griffin was in serious contention to break camp with the MLB roster despite not playing a single game at the Triple-A level. In spring training, the former ninth overall pick […]
