Dodgers Calling Up Top Prospect Josue De Paula
The Los Angeles Dodgers are calling up top outfield prospect Josue De Paula, sources told Alden Gonzalez of ESPN. De Paula will be with the team on Friday for the start of a weekend series in Miami against the Marlins. Per MLB Pipeline, De Paula is ranked as the Dodgers' top prospect and the No. 6 overall prospect in baseball in 2026. The 21-year-old from Brooklyn will make his big-league debut down the stretch after hitting a strong .302/.400/.539 with a .939 OPS, 26 home runs, 101 RBI, 31 stolen bases, and 105 runs scored in 123 games and 583 plate appearances this year for Double-A Tulsa. The 6-foot-3, 185-pounder who hits from the left side has the type of power/speed upside that could play immediately down the stretch in September, and De Paula could see regular at-bats if two-way superstar and primary designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (knee, biceps) is placed on the injured list to heal up for the playoffs. He will most likely see time in L.A.'s outfield when he plays, moving Teoscar Hernandez to the DH role if Ohtani continues to miss time with nagging injuries. There is not much time left in the fantasy baseball season, but De Paula is an intriguing name being added to a strong Dodgers offense.

Andy Pages Starts Swing Progression, Hitting Off a Tee
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages (hand) said he has been hitting off a tee the last two days as he starts his swing progression from a broken left hand, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Pages says he is pain-free. When Pages was placed on the 10-day injured list, the Dodgers gave him an estimated timetable of four to five weeks before a potential return. He is just over two weeks removed from the injury and appears to be making progress, but he obviously still has a way to go and probably will not be an option for the Dodgers' lineup again until the postseason in October. With Pages out, utility man Tommy Edman has seen most of the action in center field, with veteran Miguel Rojas and Alex Freeland splitting time at the keystone. Pages was a first-time All-Star in 2026 in his third year in the big leagues with the Dodgers, slashing .272/.338/.458 with a .797 OPS, 21 home runs, 80 RBI, 12 stolen bases, and 72 runs scored in 128 games across 550 plate appearances. If not for his hand injury, Pages likely would have set career highs in most of the major counting-stat categories.

James Tibbs III Hoping Triple-A Consistency Leads To Big-League Promotion
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III continues to hit at Triple-A Oklahoma City and completed a very strong month in August, making a promotion to the Dodgers even more possible. Tibbs III launched six homers in 92 August at-bats with 21 RBI and a .326 batting average, to go with 19 runs scored. Tibbs III has been consistently good all season at Triple-A with 28 homers and 98 RBI with a . 298 batting average and 100 runs scored. The left-handed hitter is the No. 7 prospect in the Dodgers system and has a 50-grade hit tool with 55-grade power. At age 23, the Dodgers could determine that Tibbs III is ready for a promotion to the big leagues after such a statistically strong season at Triple-A. Tibbs III is worth a stash in redraft leagues, as his potential is great with his strong overall hitting tools and plus power.

James Tibbs III Remains on Stash Radar Despite Slowdown
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III is experiencing another lull in his season of ups and downs, now just 4-for-26 (.153) over his last eight games at Triple-A Oklahoma City. Despite the slowdown, the left-handed hitter has had a productive season overall, hitting .295 with a .962 OPS, which is the highest OPS among Triple-A players who have yet to make their major league debut. With 27 home runs and average exit velocity, hard-hit rate, and barrel rate all coming in at 92nd percentile or better, there is plenty of fantasy-friendly pop in his bat, but the former first-rounder's time is running out on a 2026 MLB debut. With a crowded outfield in the majors and other 40-man options still in Oklahoma City (i.e., Ryan Ward, Alek Thomas), competition is tight. Even so, with the potential to be hitting in a dangerous L.A. lineup, the 23-year-old Tibbs remains a solid stash option for fantasy in hopes that his productive season is rewarded with a debut at some point in the final month.

James Tibbs III Looking Like He is Worth a Late-Season Stash
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III continues to hit at Triple-A Oklahoma City with six homers and 21 RBI in the month of August while hitting .326 with 30 runs scored. That brings the Triple-A totals this season to 27 homers and 96 RBI this season for Tibbs III with a .295 batting average. With the injury to Andy Pages, that could potentially open the door to the big leagues for Tibbs III and if so, the 23-year-old left-handed hitter is a strong potential addition to fantasy rosters. Tibbs III is the No. 7 overall prospect in the Dodgers' organization and has a 50-grade hit tool with 55-grade power. His statistical output this season is hard to ignore and the Dodgers should look to him as a potential September call-up. Fantasy managers should pay attention because Tibbs III has a high ceiling right off the bat in the big leagues.

Mike Sirota Closing in on Triple-A Amid Productive 2026 Campaign
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Mike Sirota has had a productive campaign between High-A and Double-A this year, which included an impressive 72-game streak in which he got on base at least once via hit, walk, or hit-by-pitch. Despite moving up a level, he's maintained similar statistics (i.e., strikeout, walk rate, OBP) even in the face of stiffer competition. At Double-A alone, the Dodgers' second-ranked prospect is slashing .299/.452/.502 with 10 home runs and five steals through 66 games at Tulsa. With Triple-A in sight, the former third-round draft pick will be knocking on the door to the majors next year, and with a solid all-around skill set in what will presumably be a formidable Dodger lineup, the 23-year-old has a chance to be a productive fantasy asset whenever he gets the call.

Tommy Edman Remains a Worthy Deep-League Waiver Wire Target
Across 213 plate appearances in 2026, Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Tommy Edman is hitting .271/.351/.420 with five home runs, 27 RBI, 30 runs scored, and five stolen bases. The start of Edman's 2026 campaign was delayed by offseason ankle surgery, which delayed his season debut until mid-June. However, the versatile 31-year-old has been productive since his return and has settled in as the Dodgers' primary second baseman in recent weeks. Edman's production may not stand out in any one category, but he doesn't have any major weaknesses and should put up quality counting stats while playing a near-everyday role in the potent Dodgers lineup. He's also been more aggressive as a baserunner this season now that he's fully recovered from his ankle issues, as he's attempted seven stolen bases in 56 games in 2026 after logging just four attempts across 97 games in 2025. As a deep-league depth piece, Edman carries clear value on the waiver wire.

Josue De Paula Looks Like Future Five-Category Stud
Los Angeles Dodgers top outfield prospect Josue De Paula is having a very productive August at Double-A Tulsa and is looking like a top-tier dynasty prospect for fantasy leagues. The left-handed hitting outfielder is batting .300 this month with nine homers and 22 RBI to go with 24 runs scored. The 21-year-old is showing why he is valued so highly as he has dominated at Double-A this season. He has a .311 batting average on the season in 113 games at Tulsa with 26 homers and 98 RBI along with 97 runs scored and 29 stolen bases. De Paula has a five-tool skill set, and he has a 65-grade hit tool with 60-grade power. De Paula looks like he might be a year or two away from a big-league debut but looks to be one of the top dynasty league stash prospects in baseball.

James Tibbs III a Speculative Stash for Late-Season Call-Up
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III has put his best foot forward in 2026, batting .302 with 27 home runs (third-most at Triple-A), 94 RBI (second-most), and 94 runs scored (second-most). His 16.8 percent walk rate has buoyed a phenomenal .423 on-base percentage, and his OPS of .982 is second-highest among qualified hitters, yet the Dodgers' seventh-ranked prospect hasn't been able to break through to the major league level thus far. When Andy Pages (hand) was recently placed on the injured list, it was Alek Thomas who was recalled from Oklahoma City, not Tibbs, as Thomas was already on the 40-man roster, as is fellow OKC Comet Ryan Ward, who has been recalled to L.A. twice already this season, so it is a crowded talent pool. Even so, Tibbs may still get his opportunity when rosters expand in September, and were he to find himself getting regular playing time, the 23-year-old would become very fantasy relevant in that offense, but for now he's just a speculative stash in deeper 14+ team leagues.

James Tibbs III Still Hitting, Looking For Late-Season Promotion
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III has continued his strong minor-league season with a stellar August, hitting .375 with six homers and 19 RBI to go with 16 runs scored. At Triple-A Oklahoma City this season, Tibbs has hit 27 homers with 97 RBI and 95 runs scored while hitting .302. The 23-year-old is the No. 7 prospect for the Dodgers and has a 50-grade hit tool with 55-grade power, which he has shown off in the minor leagues this season. The Dodgers have a very deep major league roster, but with the recent news of Andy Pages hitting the injured list, it could offer an opening for Tibbs in the team's stacked outfield. The Dodgers could use the power bat of Tibbs, and he could be a nice addition to fantasy teams if he does get a call-up to Los Angeles.

Andy Pages Expected to Miss 4-5 Weeks With Hand Fracture
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that he expects outfielder Andy Pages (hand) to miss four to five weeks with a fractured left hand, which means he will not be available until just before the start of the postseason, according to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register. Pages was hit by a pitch in the early stages of Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates and will now miss extended time. With the right-handed slugger now out for pretty much the rest of the regular season, the Dodgers will most likely use a platoon in center field, with Alek Thomas facing right-handers and Tommy Edman facing lefties. It's a tough blow for fantasy managers, as Pages was hitting a strong .272/.338/.358 with a career-best .797 OPS, 21 home runs, 80 RBI, 12 stolen bases, and 72 runs scored in 128 games for the Dodgers in his third year in the big leagues. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues would not be crazy to drop him at this juncture, as even if he does make it back in late September, Pages might only play in a handful of games, at most. UPDATE: The Dodgers officially placed Pages on the 10-day injured list on Saturday.

Does Ryan Ward Demand Stash Consideration Amid 10-Game Hit Streak?
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Ryan Ward, after collecting a hit in Wednesday's game for Triple-A Oklahoma City, has extended his hit streak to 10 games. The Dodgers' 17th-ranked prospect is 16-for-40 (.400) during that time with a double and four home runs, along with twice as many walks (eight) as strikeouts (four). It brings his season-long slash line to .276/.384/.486 with 17 home runs and a 55:60 BB:K in 83 games for the Comets. The left-handed hitter debuted with the Dodgers earlier this season and has spent two different stints with the club with mixed results. While this recent stretch could help propel him there again, there is no immediate opening on the major league roster, even with Kyle Tucker struggling mightily on both sides of the ball. The former eighth-round draft pick has a ton of power, logging back-to-back 30-homer seasons at Triple-A prior to 2026, so there is some intrigue for fantasy purposes, but the 28-year-old is not a realistic stash consideration in most fantasy leagues.

James Tibbs III Hopes Triple-A Success Translates to Big-League Shot
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III has had a monster season at Triple-A Oklahoma City with 24 homers, 89 RBI, and 90 runs scored while hitting .297. Tibbs is hitting .365 in August with three home runs and 14 RBI to continue his strong season. The left-handed hitter is the No. 7 prospect in the Dodgers system and is looking for a late-season promotion. The 23-year-old has a 50-grade hit tool with 55-grade power and has been a menace at the plate all season long at the Triple-A level. He has proven he is ready for a big-league chance, and with the Dodgers all of a sudden struggling, they could turn to the young outfielder for a spark. Fantasy managers will want to monitor how the Dodgers plan on using Tibbs the rest of the season because he has the tools to be successful in the majors even at age 23.

Kyle Tucker Held Out of Dodgers' Lineup Due to Frustrations
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that outfielder Kyle Tucker is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers because of his "frustrations playing at home," according to Dodger Blue. The Dodgers will give Tucker the day off to work, and it allows Alex Call to slide into the starting lineup in right field while batting eighth against right-handed flamethrower Jacob Misiorowski. The 29-year-old Tucker has been a bust so far in L.A. in 2026, slashing .234/.332/.373 with a .705 OPS, only 11 home runs, 54 RBI, 66 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in 116 games and 476 plate appearances. In 59 games (231 plate appearances) at home this year, he has gone just 39-for-203 (.192) with a .566 OPS, two home runs, 27 walks, and 46 strikeouts compared to a .275/.371/.469 with an .840 OPS and nine home runs in 57 games on the road away from Dodger Stadium. Tucker is also hitting only .220 (9-for-41) with two homers, a triple, three RBI, eight runs, six walks, and six strikeouts in 13 games so far in August.

Teoscar Hernandez Could Losing Playing Time Amid Offensive Struggles
The Athletic's Katie Woo suggests that Los Angeles Dodgers veteran outfielder Teoscar Hernandez could lose playing time going forward due to his ongoing offensive struggles, especially against right-handed pitchers. Manager Dave Roberts is known for letting his veteran players swing their way out of slumps, but it was notable when Hernandez was pinch-hit for in Sunday's loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Roberts did it again in the sixth inning on Monday against the Kansas City Royals, and Woo suggests that the skipper will likely sit Hernandez against righty starters for the near future, with utility man Tommy Edman the most logical candidate to take over the majority of the reps in left field. "Since he's come back (from the IL), versus right just hasn't been to his standard, our standard," Roberts said of Hernandez. He was hitting .276 with a .348 on-base percentage before his Grade 1 hamstring strain at the end of May, but entering play on Wednesday, Hernandez was slashing .209/.258/.357 since returning from the injured list.
