Jaxon Wiggins a Name to Monitor in Deeper Leagues Amid Rehab Assignment
Chicago Cubs right-handed pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins is currently on a rehab assignment at High-A South Bend, where he pitched 2 2/3 innings, allowing one run with three strikeouts in a start on Sunday. It's been an injury-plagued year for Wiggins, the second-round pick out of the University of Arkansas, but the promising right-hander was part of the Futures Game last season as a representative of the Chicago Cubs organization. Wiggins pitched to a 2.19 ERA between three levels in 2025, capped off by a finale at Triple-A Iowa. Across 78 innings, he totaled 97 punchouts with a stellar 1.03 WHIP. Recovering from right elbow inflammation, Wiggins is a promising prospect, and savvy fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on his progress as he rehabs. Given Chicago's lack of starting pitching depth, Wiggins could become a priority pitching prospect to stash in the coming weeks once he returns to Triple-A.
