Heston Kjerstad is a fantasy baseball OF prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Heston Kjerstad, OF, Baltimore Orioles
ANALYSIS: If you simply looked at the production, profile, and proximity to the Majors, Heston Kjerstad would look like a pretty solid prospect to stash right now. After excelling in Double-A for a couple of months, Kjerstad has been even better in Triple-A with a .344/.421/.584 slash line, 11 doubles, and five home runs in 33 games.
However, there's still a pretty solid log jam in Baltimore and even Colton Cowser and Jordan Westburg aren't even starting every day right now. Long-term, Kjerstad could develop into a Nick Castellanos type of hitter, but he'll likely need an injury or trade right now.
VERDICT: Aaron Hicks left Monday's game with a hamstring injury that Baltimore is still determining the severity of at the time this article goes to publish. But even if Hicks requires an IL stint, that could just open more playing time for Cowser. It also could mean Kjerstad gets the call. Keep an eye on this situation.

Andrew Painter - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]
