For some reason, Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed relief pitcher Tanner Scott just isn't gaining much traction in fantasy baseball leagues in 2026, even though he leads the team in saves with Edwin Diaz (elbow) on the injured list for the foreseeable future. It's probably because of Scott's disastrous first season in L.A. in 2025, in […]

Boston Red Sox left-hander Payton Tolle is 4-6 with a 3.39 ERA (3.53 FIP) and 1.12 WHIP with 74 strikeouts and 23 walks in 13 starts across 74 1/3 innings pitched in just his second year in the big leagues in 2026. The 23-year-old southpaw and former second-round pick out of Texas Christian University in […]

Athletics rookie left-hander Gage Jump has proven himself to be pretty effective in his first seven major-league starts, going 3-2 with a 2.93 ERA (2.66 FIP) and 1.12 WHIP with 40 strikeouts and 10 walks in 40 innings pitched. The 23-year-old former second-round selection in 2024 out of Louisiana State University hit a road bump […]

Boston Red Sox infielder Caleb Durbin has emerged as a waiver-wire target after a hot month of June at the plate. In 25 games and 92 plate appearances during the month, Durbin went 28-for-86 (.326) with six home runs, six doubles, 13 RBI, 16 runs scored, and five stolen bases. The 26-year-old is now hitting […]

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak has been a late bloomer after the Philadelphia Phillies took him first overall in the 2016 MLB draft. The 28-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder finally broke out in 2025 in his sixth year in the league and first with the Rockies, hitting .270/.306/.518 with an .824 OPS, 24 home runs, 68 RBI, […]

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn has enjoyed his first year in the Steel City and has backed up his first All-Star appearance from a year ago, slashing .285/.340/.471 with an .811 OPS, 13 home runs, 51 RBI, 41 runs scored, and a stolen base in 73 games across 300 plate appearances.

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo has been pretty erratic for fantasy managers so far in 2026, going 2-2 with a 5.05 ERA (5.30 FIP) and 1.47 WHIP with 42 strikeouts and 22 walks in 51 2/3 innings across 10 starts while also continuing to deal with injuries. The former seventh overall pick in 2019 out […]

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Logan Henderson (back) is scheduled to make his second and final minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Nashville on Friday. If everything goes well, the Brewers expect him to rejoin their starting rotation before the All-Star break in mid-July. The 24-year-old is rostered in under half of Yahoo leagues at this moment, so […]

Chicago White Sox rookie infielder/outfielder Sam Antonacci has made an immediate impact in fantasy baseball in his first year in the big leagues in multiple categories, and he should be rostered in more than 53% of Yahoo leagues. Through his first 67 games and 271 plate appearances, Antonacci is slashing .299/.394/.433 with an .827 OPS, […]

Welcome back to my Fantasy Baseball Breakout Hitters article for Week 15 of the 2026 MLB regular season. The goal of this article is to highlight players who could be breaking out, diving into current active hitting streaks, along with recent leaders in batting average, isolated power (ISO), stolen bases, and more. The good news […]

Texas Rangers veteran right-hander Jacob deGrom had a rough month of May, giving up 18 earned runs on 25 hits (nine home runs) for a 5.72 ERA (5.65 FIP) while walking five and striking out 30 across 28 1/3 innings and five starts. He opened the year by giving up just seven earned runs with […]

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson looked like the next superstar in 2024 when he hit 37 home runs, drove in 92 runs, and stole 21 bases in 159 regular-season games on his way to his first All-Star appearance. However, he could not run it back last year, finishing with just 17 home runs, 68 RBI, […]

The Athletic's Evan Drellich reports that Washington Nationals right-hander Cade Cavalli is appealing the seven-game suspension that Major League Baseball handed down on Thursday for his role in a benches-clearing incident last Sunday versus the Boston Red Sox, according to a source. It means that Cavalli could be allowed to make his next scheduled start […]

The Athletic's Evan Drellich reports that Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras is appealing the seven-game suspension that Major League Baseball handed down on Thursday, according to a source. Until the league hears Contreras' appeal, he will be allowed to play, so fantasy managers should expect him to be in the team's starting lineup […]

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Charlie Condon has put together a dominant stretch at the plate and is quickly approaching his MLB debut. Since May 30 (his last 27 games of action), the former Georgia standout has launched 14 long balls while posting a stellar .376/.488/.941 line with a 1.428 OPS. Prior to this impressive stretch […]

Washington Nationals top catching prospect Harry Ford is entering stash territory amid solid performances at the Triple-A level. Ford joined the Nationals in a trade in the offseason (from the Seattle Mariners), but has spent the entire first half in the minor leagues. Over his first 30 games of the Rochester campaign, Ford held a […]

Miami Marlins right-handed pitching prospect Karson Milbrandt has quickly begun to climb the stash rankings and has seen his fantasy value soar over the past month. Despite beginning the 2026 campaign at the Double-A level, Milbrandt is now not only one stop away from the big leagues but also has a clear path to contribute […]

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen turned in a stellar showing over the past month at Triple-A Albuquerque and is now firmly on the stash radar ahead of Week 15 of the fantasy baseball season. Over 24 games in June, the former ninth overall selection from the 2020 MLB Draft posted a stellar .366/.385/.782 line […]

Atlanta Braves right-handed pitching prospect Owen Murphy is coming off another strong showing at Triple-A Gwinnett and is putting himself in position to earn a call-up to the majors in the second half of the season. On July 1, Murphy tossed six shutout innings (with just two hits) and struck out seven. Overall, since joining […]

Miami Marlins shortstop prospect Aiva Arquette, ranked as the team's No. 3 prospect at MLB Pipeline, will miss around six weeks due to a left-thumb injury, sources told Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. Arquette, the No. 42 overall prospect in baseball, was placed on the seven-day minor-league injured list on Tuesday at Double-A Pensacola. So […]

St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez continued to showcase his high-end power at Triple-A with another multi-home run effort on Thursday.

Since June 9 (his last 19 games of action), the No. 65-ranked prospect […]

San Diego Padres manager Craig Stammen said that right-hander Randy Vasquez (ankle) was on his way to get an X-ray for his injured ankle after his outing in Thursday's series opener against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers when he fainted, according to AJ Cassavell. Vasquez was stable and conscious but was taken to the emergency […]

On Wednesday against the Blue Jays, he launched his 10th home run of the season and is […]

Kansas City Royals left-handed hitting catcher Carter Jensen has been excellent at the plate of late for the Royals, hitting .310 with two home runs, five RBI, and two runs scored over the past seven days.

Chicago White Sox right-hander Grant Taylor took the loss on Thursday and blew the save against the Cleveland Guardians after he allowed one hit, two earned runs, two walks, and two strikeouts in 1 1/3 innings pitched. Taylor isn't making his case for earning the ninth-inning work for the White Sox, even after Seranthony Domínguez […]

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Roki Sasaki stumbled for the second straight start on Thursday and the third of his last four starts. Against the Padres on Thursday, he went three innings, allowed seven hits, six earned runs, two walks, and three strikeouts in a no-decision. He allowed three home runs and multiple extra-base hits. He […]

In a corresponding move, the Rangers have sent down Winston Santos to Triple-A, and left-handed pitcher Jorgan Montgomery was transferred from […]
