Top Prospects: Sleepers for Fantasy Baseball Drafts (Redraft Leagues)

Winning in a fantasy baseball redraft league requires a nice blend of high-floor players and upside shots.

Eddie Rosario Sent To Triple-A

Washington Nationals outfielder Eddie Rosario has been reassigned to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday, but it's a procedural move. The Nationals have until noon on Sunday to add Rosario to their 40-man roster. The move doesn't mean Rosario still can't make the Opening Day roster out of camp.

Overvalued Second Basemen for Fantasy Baseball Drafts (2024)
