Jose Tena is a fantasy baseball waiver wire stash for Week 12 (2024). Target SJose Tena as a top prospect free-agent waiver wire pickup for fantasy baseball.
BALLER MOVE: Monitor in Deeper Leagues
CALL-UP ETA: 2024
ANALYSIS: Cleveland Guardians' No. 22 prospect Jose Tena continues to show his potential in the minors. Tena signed with the Guardians back in 2017 for $400,000 out of the Dominican Republic. He then hit over .300 at the plate in back-to-back seasons at rookie ball in 2018 and 2019 before breaking out at High-A in 2021 with 16 home runs and 58 RBI.
Tena was then promoted to Double-A and Triple-A in 2022, where he has played 288 combined games across those levels over the past three years. This season, the shortstop is hitting a solid .280 at the plate with eight HRs, 12 doubles, and 37 RBI at Triple-A Columbus.
112.1 mph! 🤯#Guardians 23yr old INF prospect Jose Tena continues his torrid stretch in the month of May today hitting a 3-run HR in the 5th inning for Columbus at Omaha. The HR is his 7th of the season and traveled 377 feet with a 112.1 exit velocity.#ForTheLand pic.twitter.com/YNd0fJqDJn

That minor league success, though, hasn't earned Tena much playing time in the big leagues. The 23-year-old made his MLB debut last August and appeared in 18 games for the Guardians. However, he hit just .226 with two doubles and three RBI. With a lack of power and speed, Cleveland's No. 22 prospect is not necessarily worth stashing in any format. But fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should monitor him closely because he has the potential to eventually be a solid hitter in the majors.
