Is Jaxon Wiggins a Worthy Stash Target While Sidelined?
Chicago Cubs top pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins has been on the 7-day injured list with an elbow injury since the start of April. However, the young right-hander has begun throwing bullpens, and he is slowly approaching a return to action, which has put him back on the stash radar. Prior to the injury, Wiggins was already on a clear path to make his debut, given Chicago's numerous starting pitcher injuries. Currently, the team is without Justin Steele, Cade Horton, and Edward Cabrera, leaving a clear path for the top prospect to contribute at some point this summer. Last season, Wiggins spent most of his time with High-A and Double-A and posted a stellar 1.84 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, with an 83:30 K:BB over 68 1/3 innings. While he may have to wait until July to be in serious consideration, Wiggins has a path to make an impact for fantasy this season.
