Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Zach Ehrhard has flown under the radar in the Dodgers system, but could be nearing his MLB debut. Given that he plays in a system that features some of the game's top outfield prospects like Mike Sirota, Josue De Paula, and Zyhir Hope, and even shares the Triple-A field with […]

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman has looked quite comfortable since returning from the Triple-A injured list earlier in June. Alderman was on the shelf for just over a month due to a wrist injury. However, this injury has not slowed down the former 47th overall pick out of Ole Miss, as he has carried […]

Chicago Cubs first-base prospect Jonathon Long has seen his production soar over the last month at the Triple-A level and is emerging as a legitimate second-half call-up. Currently, Long is viewed as the No. 7 prospect in the Cubs system. Even though there may not be a clear opening on the MLB roster, if he […]

Athletics right-handed reliever Elvis Alvarado may not have the best numbers in his second season in the big leagues, but he's still in the late-inning mix in Sacramento for the A's, making him worth a look in deep fantasy leagues for managers desperate for saves. The 27-year-old Dominican hurler went 3-3 with a 4.94 ERA […]

New York Mets No. 2-ranked prospect Ryan Clifford was expected to be in serious contention for a call-up to Queens in the 2026 season.

However, over the last week, the slugger has begun to show substantial progress, which […]

Tampa Bay Rays outfield prospect Jacob Melton has been among the top hitters across Triple-A since returning from injury. Melton had been on the shelf since mid-April due to a left ankle sprain.

Kansas City Royals shortstop/outfielder Tyler Tolbert made history last week when he recorded hits in 12 straight at-bats over a three-game stretch to tie the MLB record for most hits in consecutive at-bats, but he started on the bench in the final three games before the All-Star break. Tolbert's move back to the bench coincided […]

The Milwaukee Brewers are acquiring veteran right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. (shoulder) from the Houston Astros on Wednesday, a source told Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.

Chicago White Sox left-hander Noah Schultz has bounced back and forth between Triple-A and the big leagues so far this season. The 22-year-old has largely struggled at the MLB level in 2026, recording a 3-6 record with a 5.60 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 47 strikeouts across 53 innings (11 starts).

Across 135 plate appearances with the A's, Heim is hitting .232/.281/.464 with eight home runs, 21 RBI, and 16 runs scored. The presence of star Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers limits Heim's playing time behind the plate. […]

Chicago White Sox catcher Kyle Teel had the start of his 2026 season delayed by hamstring and knee injuries that kept him out until late June.

Cleveland Guardians shortstop Brayan Rocchio is quietly in the midst of a breakout season in 2026. Across 359 plate appearances on the year, the 25-year-old is hitting .276/.343/.408 with eight home runs, 44 RBI, 40 runs scored, and 15 stolen bases.

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes was recently promoted to Triple-A Tacoma, and although it didn't take long (five games) for him to show off his power with a majestic 436-foot home run, the 6-foot-5 slugger's swing-and-miss tendency has been exploited at the minors' highest level. Through six games and 31 plate appearances for the […]

Chicago Cubs pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins (elbow) returned to the mound at Triple-A Iowa this past Friday, a welcome sight for a big-league staff that could use some reinforcements. The right-hander is returning from a stint on the injured list due to elbow inflammation, and Friday's outing was his first appearance for Iowa since early […]

San Francisco Giants designated hitter Bryce Eldridge reached the break at .271/.364/.468 with eight home runs, 28 runs, and 20 RBI in 217 plate appearances.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar dragged a .200/.243/.330 line into the break, with eight home runs, 32 runs, 32 RBI, and five steals in 341 plate appearances.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Alec Burleson reached the break at .273/.337/.468 with 15 home runs and 67 RBI, and the damage could have been worse.
