Khal Stephen Traded to Cleveland
Shane Bieber (elbow). Before the trade, Stephen was considered the No. 9-ranked prospect in the Toronto system on MLB.com. The Blue Jays drafted Stephen with the 59th overall pick in last year's MLB Draft out of Mississippi State. He made his professional debut earlier this season with Low-A Dunedin. Through 39 1/3 innings, Stephen held a strong 2.06 ERA with a 0.92 WHIP. He then moved up to High-A, where he posted an elite 1.49 ERA with a 0.85 WHIP across 48 1/3 innings of work. He was given the call to join Double-A, where he has logged four innings of four-run ball. Fantasy managers should expect Stephen to report to Double-A in the Cleveland system. Given his progression, he should be in the mix to debut in 2026.
