Sam Antonacci Slated to Make MLB Debut on Tuesday

Chicago White Sox infield/outfield prospect Sam Antonacci is slated to be promoted to the MLB roster ahead of their contest on Tuesday, according to Elijah Evans of Just Baseball Media. Antonacci is currently ranked as the No. 9 overall prospect in the team's system on MLB.com. In the 2025 campaign, Antonacci spent his time at […]

According to Elijah Evans of Just Baseball Media, the Chicago White Sox are promoting top left-handed pitching prospect Noah Schultz to the major leagues. He is expected to make his MLB debut on Tuesday. The southpaw is considered the team's No. 2-ranked prospect on MLB.com and the overall No. 49 prospect in the sport. Schultz […]

Sneaky Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups, Buys: Week 2 - Hot Pitchers To Sustain Success?

We are officially in the full swing of fantasy baseball. With the early short week and the first full week in the books, we now have plenty of data to analyze, even for starting pitchers. Most pitchers have made at least two starts, with some having even taken the bump three times. In this weekly […]


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 […]


Payton Tolle - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Prospects

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 […]


Colt Emerson Continues to Knock on MLB Door Despite Minor Injury Setback

Seattle Mariners shortstop prospect Colt Emerson remains a high-end stash option despite suffering a minor foot injury. Earlier this week, Emerson took a foul ball off his foot (on April 4) but fortunately avoided a major injury. The top prospect underwent X-rays, all of which came back negative. He returned to game action on April […]


Robby Snelling Posts Seven-Strikeout Effort, Remains High-End Stash Target

Miami Marlins left-handed pitching prospect Robby Snelling turned in a strong bounce-back effort in his second start of the Triple-A regular season and remains a high-end stash target in all standard leagues. On April 3, Snelling was sharp against Triple-A Sugar Land, tossing four innings of three-run ball with an impressive seven punchouts. This was […]


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. Eldridge was in serious contention to break camp with the MLB roster but ultimately fell short in the competition for the first base/DH job. However, given that Eldridge reached the majors last season and played at a high level in […]

Cade Horton to Undergo Season-Ending Elbow Surgery

Chicago Cubs right-handed starting pitcher Cade Horton (elbow) is set to undergo season-ending elbow surgery. Horton was removed from his second start of the season due to this injury, but will now set his sights on returning to the bump in 2027. Horton made his season debut on April 28 and continued to perform at […]

With the 2026 regular season in full swing, it's time to look at the latest injury updates for some of the top fantasy assets. Even though it is early in the season, managers have already seen several players hit the IL, including many high-end selections. In this piece, we will analyze the latest injury updates […]


Jesus Made Showing Minimal Growing Pains at Double-A

Milwaukee Brewers top prospect Jesus Made is looking quite comfortable during his second taste of Double-A action. On Sunday, he posted an impressive four-hit effort with one home run, one walk, and a stolen base. He made a brief debut at Double-A during the final week of the 2025 season and posted a .261/.292/.348 line […]


Payton Tolle Strikes Out Seven in Latest Outing, Carries High-End Stash Upside

Boston Red Sox left-handed pitching prospect Payton Tolle enjoyed a dominant outing at Triple-A on Sunday and is emerging as the top pitching prospect to stash. Facing Saint Paul, Tolle logged six frames of two-run ball (one earned run) with four hits, one walk, and seven punchouts. This was a major improvement over the six […]


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 […]
