Emmanuel Rodriguez is a fantasy baseball dynasty waiver wire pickup for Week 10 (2024). Read about Emmanuel Rodriguez's season to date.
PROSPECT: Emmanuel Rodriguez, OF, Minnesota Twins
ERIC CROSS' LATEST PROSPECT RANKING: No. 25
CALL-UP ETA: 2025
ANALYSIS: Minnesota Twins' No. 3 prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez continues to fly up rankings. Rodriguez signed with the Twins back in 2019 as a 16-year-old outfielder and officially made his rookie ball debut in 2021. While he only hit .214 across 37 games, his ability to hit 10 home runs and steal nine bases that season showed what type of player he could eventually become.
Over the next two years, Rodriguez continued to show his potential. He hit .272 with nine HRs, 25 RBI, and 11 stolen bases across 47 games at Single-A in 2022 and then followed that up by hitting .240 with 16 HRs, 55 RBI, and 20 stolen bases in 99 games at High-A last season. Now, the 21-year-old is tearing it up at Double-A, where he has a solid .280 batting average with seven HRs, 19 RBI, and nine stolen bases in 35 games.

The Twins are surely taking a slow approach with their young prospect, as Rodriguez is still only at the Double-A level in his fourth minor league season. However, a couple of injuries (knee injury in 2022 and abdominal strain in 2023) have contributed to that as well. Still, he's definitely a player to stash in dynasty formats, given his good eye at the plate and potential to hit over 15 HRs and steal over 20 bases for the Twins.
