Charlie Condon Continues to Slug his Way to MLB Promotion
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Charlie Condon continues to be one of the top power hitters at the Triple-A level and is making a strong case to join the MLB roster down the stretch. Over his last six games at Triple-A, the former Georgia standout has gone deep twice and held a .857 OPS. On the season, the former third overall pick has carried a .282/.397/.542 line with a dominant .939 OPS. He has gone deep 22 times while adding 18 doubles, six triples, and six stolen bases. During the 2025 campaign, Condon split his time between High-A and Double-A, where he posted a lower .820 OPS with just 14 home runs (over 99 games). Seeing him show much higher power upside against tougher pitching is an excellent sign of his long-term outlook. His power upside and path to MLB at-bats make him a top stash target among hitters.

Zac Veen Knocking on MLB Door Following Three-Home Run Effort
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen is coming off one of the most productive games of the minor-league season at Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday with three homers and seven RBI in a five-hit effort. The 24-year-old outfielder is hitting .325 at Albuquerque this year with 24 homers and 87 RBI to go with 80 runs scored and 18 stolen bases. The 2020 first-round pick is producing on all levels this season and is looking like a future five-category fantasy contributor. The left-handed hitter is the No. 7 prospect in the Rockies' system and is looking like a must-add as a stash candidate for the rest of this season. He has a 55-grade run tool with a 50-grade hit tool. He could be called up at any time and is ready to reward fantasy managers who take a shot on him the rest of the way.

Jake McCarthy Continues Excellent Season With Two Homers on Saturday
Colorado Rockies outfielder Jake McCarthy put on a show in the team's 8-6 victory over the hosting St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night, going 4-for-5 at the plate out of the leadoff spot with two home runs, three RBI, four runs scored, and two stolen bases. It continues a fantastic season for the 29-year-old in his first season in Denver. McCarthy is now hitting .305/.341/.516 with an .858 OPS, 13 home runs, 67 RBI, 20 stolen bases, and 56 runs scored in 102 games across 394 plate appearances in his sixth year in the majors. He got the action going in the top of the first inning at Busch Stadium by sending the first pitch he saw from lefty Matthew Liberatore over the fence, and he later had a two-run bomb in the sixth inning. McCarthy has been red-hot so far in August, recording a hit in all seven games played while going 15-for-32 (.469) with a 1.298 OPS, three home runs, three doubles, eight RBI, 10 runs scored, and three stolen bases. Despite McCarthy's career-best season, he's somehow only rostered in 68% of Yahoo leagues.

Charlie Condon Hits Home Run No. 22 on Thursday As MLB Call-Up Approaches
Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon hit a home run on Thursday night for Triple-A Albuquerque as he continues to produce at a high level ahead of a pending promotion to the MLB club. The homer was already Condon's second in August, and he has 22 total this season with 69 RBI while hitting .284. He also has 83 runs scored and six stolen bases. Condon is 23 years old and is the No. 3 prospect in the Rockies' system. The 2024 first-round draft pick is pushing for a chance at an MLB debut, and it's starting to look likely that he will be called up to Colorado, as he has some position flexibility at first base and outfield. He could provide an instant impact bat for the big league team as he has proven himself with a highly productive season at Triple-A. He is a priority name to stash away and add on the waiver wire.

Zac Veen a Worthy Stash Consideration Amid Power Surge
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen has been red-hot again at Triple-A Albuquerque, going 15-for-38 (.395) over his last eight games, with 11 of those 15 hits going for extra bases (five doubles, one triple, five home runs). The Rockies' top prospect, who also authored a 25-game hit streak earlier this year, is now slashing .315/.389/.603 with 21 home runs and 16 stolen bases in 96 games for the Isotopes. Unfortunately for Veen, Colorado seemingly has a glut of outfield depth at the moment, with a productive big league unit that includes recently-graduated prospect Cole Carrigg, along with fellow prospect Charlie Condon also waiting in the wings for a call-up. Still, Veen may have the edge over Condon the next time the team needs to fill a void in the outfield, as the left-handed hitter has already made his major league debut and is already on the 40-man roster. With the potential to contribute across multiple categories, the former ninth-overall draft pick is a worthy stash consideration who could be in position to help managers in the run-up to and in the fantasy playoffs in deeper 12+ team leagues if he were to get the call.

Cole Carrigg has Emerged as a Must-Add Outfielder
Since making his MLB debut on June 9, Colorado Rockies outfielder Cole Carrigg has emerged as a potential piece of his team's core going forward. Across 182 plate appearances, the 24-year-old is hitting .301/.387/.510 with five home runs, 28 RBI, 33 runs scored, and five stolen bases. Carrigg's underlying batted-ball metrics are uninspiring, as he's logged a 4.9% barrel rate and a 32.8% hard-hit rate. However, he's demonstrated impressive plate skills for a young player. Carrigg also has the benefit of playing his home games at the hitter-friendly Coors Field, which, when combined with his plus speed, should allow him to run a high batting average on balls in play and rack up extra-base hits. In any league where he's not already rostered, Carrigg should be viewed as a priority waiver wire target.

Rockies Agree to Two-Year Extension With Mickey Moniak
The Colorado Rockies announced on Tuesday that they agreed to a two-year contract extension with outfielder Mickey Moniak that covers the 2027-28 seasons. The deal covers his final year of salary arbitration next season and the first year of free agency in 2028. MLB.com's Thomas Harding reports that the deal is worth $16.25 million. There are still some holes in the 28-year-old former first overall pick's game, but he has been at his best since joining Colorado last year, hitting .272/.310/.536 with an .847 OPS, 42 home runs, 117 RBI, 101 runs, and 10 stolen bases with the Rockies since the start of last season in 210 games played. Moniak has hit .277/.318/.565 with a career-best .883 OPS, 18 home runs, 49 RBI, 39 runs scored, and a steal in 75 games and 283 plate appearances in Denver this year, and he needs six more homers to set a new career high. Plate discipline remains an issue for Moniak despite all the power gains, and he's hitting just .216 (11-for-51) with two of his 18 homers against lefties. Still, Moniak has become a much more attractive strong-side platoon outfield bat with pop, especially when playing at hitter-friendly Coors Field.

Charlie Condon Continues to Display Stash-Worthy Pop
Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon's strong Triple-A campaign continued on Sunday, collecting a walk and a pair of hits, including a home run that ended an 18-game homerless drought. Despite the home run cold spell, the Rockies' third-ranked prospect now has 21 through 91 games, along with a strong .287/.402/.553 slash line. The emergence of TJ Rumfield and surprising production from a number of other players, along with the fact that Condon isn't on the 40-man roster, has hindered his path to the majors, and although the team parted ways with outfielder Brenton Doyle on Monday, it was outfielder Jordan Beck who got the call to the big leagues to replace him, not Condon. Still, as good as he's been this year, one would expect that the team would like to give him a taste of the MLB before next season, so look for a debut in the coming weeks. With the type of power the 6-foot-5 slugger possesses, he's worth stashing in an N/A spot in hopes he can make a difference, at least in the home run category, in the fantasy playoffs.

Mickey Moniak Nearing Two-Year Extension With Rockies
The Colorado Rockies and outfielder Mickey Moniak are nearing an agreement on a two-year extension, according to Thomas Harding of Rockies.com. Moniak is under team control with Colorado through the end of 2027, at which point he would have hit free agency. Now, it appears as though the Rockies are locking him in for at least an extra year. Across 278 plate appearances this season, Moniak is hitting .273/.317/.547 with 17 home runs, 47 RBI, 38 runs scored, and one stolen base. The 28-year-old has logged a double-digit barrel rate in three out of the last four years and has emerged as a quality power source for fantasy managers. The lefty-swinging Moniak is mostly deployed in a big-side platoon role in Colorado, which limits his counting stat upside. Still, remaining at the hitter-friendly Coors Field for his home games boosts Moniak's fantasy value.

Zac Veen's Speed Makes him a Promising Pickup
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen is coming off a game in which he homered and added three hits to raise his batting average for the season with Triple-A Albuquerque to .317 and his homer total to 20. Altogether, he has 77 RBI, 73 runs scored, and 16 stolen bases this season at Albuquerque in 369 at-bats. Veen has demonstrated his five-category ability in the Pacific Coast League this year, making him an intriguing prospect for a shot with the big-league club. He's the No. 7 overall prospect in the Rockies' system and is a former first-round pick in 2020. The 24-year-old looks like a likely big-league call-up candidate and is therefore worth stashing in pretty much all fantasy leagues. His 55-grade speed makes him a five-tool-candidate worth taking a chance on now. When called up, he will reward the chance taken on him.

Charlie Condon Could Be in Line for a Promotion, Emerging as Must-Stash
Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon could be looking at a promotion sometime in the second half, according to Rockies farm director Chris Forbes. The Rockies' No. 3 prospect has been consistent all year and continues to push for a promotion to the big leagues. Condon is slashing .284/.400/.545 with 20 home runs, 65 RBI, 79 runs, and six stolen bases with Triple-A Albuquerque this season. The Rockies are rumored to trade Hunter Goodman as well as other players, which could open a roster spot for Condon. The 23-year-old has done everything he can to prove to be big-league ready and will likely make his MLB debut sometime this summer. Condon has a ton of upside, and fantasy managers should stash him in all leagues.

Zac Veen's Four-Hit Night Keeps Him High on Stash Radar
Colorado Rockies outfielder Zac Veen continues to showcase high-end five-category upside at the Triple-A level and remains on the verge of returning to the major leagues. Veen is coming off another productive outing at Albuquerque, where he went 4-for-5 with a triple and a home run. This long ball snapped a relatively lengthy 12-game home run drought for the young outfielder. On the season, Veen has posted a .313/.389/.580 slash line with 27 doubles, 17 home runs, 15 stolen bases and a sharp .969 OPS. Veen received a brief taste of the majors back in 2025 but did not find much success, posting a low .118/.189/.235 line with one home run and a stolen base. However, many of the team's top outfielders, such as Mickey Moniak and Jake McCarthy, are on the trade block, so Veen may face minimal competition to earn second-half at-bats in the big leagues.

Cole Carrigg's Five-Category Upside Makes Him a Priority Waiver Pickup
Colorado Rockies outfielder Cole Carrigg has settled into everyday work in center field while producing a .287/.360/.519 slash line with five home runs, 26 RBI, 30 runs, and three stolen bases through 151 plate appearances. The rookie has appeared in 39 of Colorado's 41 games since his June 9 debut and started 34 of them, giving fantasy managers both steady volume and production across the standard categories. The stolen-base total should have room to grow after Carrigg swiped 30 bags in 57 Triple-A games before his promotion. His five homers are useful, though a 34.0% hard-hit rate and .414 expected slugging percentage suggest the current power pace may be difficult to maintain. Only 22% of Yahoo leagues have Carrigg rostered, and he sits 32nd in RotoBaller's Week 18 waiver rankings with an add recommendation for 12-team formats. The combination of regular playing time, runs, average, and power-speed upside makes him a priority addition at that league depth.

Charlie Condon Has Been Consistent All Year at Triple-A
Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has consistently produced at Triple-A Albuquerque this season, including a nice month of July. In 56 July at-bats, Condon has two homers and six RBI with eight runs scored and a .321 batting average. Altogether, Condon has hit 20 homers and driven in 62 runs this season with 77 runs scored, all while hitting .292. The No. 3 prospect for Colorado, Condon, the right-handed hitting first baseman/outfielder, is a valuable stash as a Rockies call-up could lead to promising numbers. If he plays his home games at Coors Field, he could show off even more statistically. Fantasy managers will want to get ahead of the game and add Condon from the waiver wire if he is not already added. He is a premium prospect who could shine soon in the big leagues.

Mickey Moniak Still Worth a Waiver Look for his Power
Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak went through a little power slump in July after hitting homers in the first two games of the month, but he's still a viable power option off the waiver wire in mixed leagues, especially at hitter-friendly Coors Field. The 28-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder is slashing .277/.322/.553 on the year with an .875 OPS, 16 home runs, 43 RBI, 35 runs scored, and a stolen base in 69 games across 255 plate appearances in his seventh year in the big leagues and second in Denver. After returning from an injury that caused him to miss most of June, Moniak is batting .323 (20-for-62) with an .876 OPS, three home runs, two doubles, a triple, 11 RBI, and 12 runs scored in 18 games and 67 plate appearances. Moniak isn't perfect by any means, though, as he's hitting just .227 (22-for-97) with three of his 16 homers on the road and .222 (10-for-45) with two of his long balls against left-handed pitchers. In addition, his .225 expected batting average, .301 xwOBA, and fourth percentile chase rate don't bode well for him down the stretch in the second half.
