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 […]

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark has continued to impress at Triple-A and remains a top prospect to stash.

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.

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.

Elian Pena Emerging as Top Dynasty Stash in Mets System?

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 […]

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.
