Charlie Condon Still Trending Up, Emerges as a Must-Stash for Power
Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has continued to produce at Triple-A Albuquerque, hitting safely in six of his last seven games, going 9-for-25 (.360) with a double, three triples, a home run, nine RBI, eight runs scored, and a 4:4 BB:K over that span, not to mention getting on base via hit-by-pitch three times. The hot stretch has pushed the 23-year-old's season-long slash line to .270/.404/.528 with 14 home runs and five steals. His strikeout rate sits at 22.8 percent, a notable improvement from the 28.3 percent rate he produced in 55 games at Double-A last year. With the improved approach, including a strong 15.3 percent walk rate, and momentum on his side, the Rockies' second-ranked prospect looks primed for a call-up to the majors in the coming weeks. With his big raw power that could be even more prolific at Coors Field, the former third-overall draft pick should be considered one of the top offensive stashes for fantasy, especially for managers searching for home runs.

TJ Rumfield Emerging as a Must-Add First Baseman in Deeper Leagues
Colorado Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield has been a revelation so far in 2026, hitting .279/.357/.480 with 12 home runs, 42 RBI, and 35 runs scored across 305 plate appearances. The 26-year-old was stuck in the New York Yankees' farm system from 2022 through 2025 and never got a chance to make his MLB debut with New York despite posting an .825 OPS across 587 plate appearances at Triple-A last season. However, Rumfield was acquired by Colorado over the offseason and has emerged as the Rockies' everyday first baseman. With a 6.2% barrel rate and a 31.9% hard-hit rate, Rumfield's underlying contact metrics do not suggest high-end power upside. Still, he limits swing-and-miss (14.8% strikeout rate), and his hitter-friendly home park in Colorado should help keep his production relatively stable. Particularly in deeper leagues, Rumfield profiles as a solid waiver wire target in the midst of his breakout campaign.

Charlie Condon's Power Surge Continues, Call-Up Imminent?
Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon went 2-for-4 with a triple and a home run on Tuesday for Triple-A Albuquerque. The home run came off of Astros pitcher Cristian Javier, who is rehabbing at Triple-A Sugar Land, and it was Condon's sixth home run in his last eight games, giving him 14 on the season. The Rockies' second-ranked prospect's recent run of success has pushed his season-long slash line to .264/.392/.519 with a strong 15.2 percent walk rate and a tolerable 24.4 percent strikeout rate. The former third-overall draft pick's call to the majors shouldn't be long now, though he is not on the team's 40-man roster, so room would have to be made for him whenever he comes up. Look for a call-up by midseason, and with the power he possesses and is currently putting on display, the 23-year-old should be considered one of the top hitters to stash in most leagues for his home run upside.

Willi Castro Hits Two Homers, Drives in Seven in Rockies Offensive Explosion
In the Colorado Rockies' 23-9 blowout win over the Athletics in Las Vegas in Sunday's series finale, super-utility man Willi Castro was one of the offensive standouts out of the leadoff spot. The 29-year-old Puerto Rican switch-hitter went 4-for-6 at the plate with a career-high seven RBI, three runs scored, a walk, and a strikeout to boost his season average to .278 and his OPS to .752. His first long ball on the day was a two-run shot in the second inning, and he followed that up with a grand slam in the eighth frame as the Rockies flexed their muscles against the A's pitching. Although Castro's season-long numbers aren't anything to write home about -- he's hitting .278 with five home runs, 29 RBI, 31 runs scored, five stolen bases, and a .752 OPS in 60 games -- he has picked things up in June. During the month to this point, Castro has gone 14-for-42 (.333) at the plate and has become a waiver-wire option during his hot streak in deeper leagues. Castro is currently rostered in only 17% of Yahoo leagues.

Charlie Condon a Priority Target for Managers Seeking a Power Bat
Colorado Rockies first baseman/outfielder Charlie Condon was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, and he's already knocking on the door of the major leagues. The 23-year-old continues to hit the ball well in his first year at Triple-A, slashing .251/.385/.474 with 11 homers, 34 RBI, a 15.5% walk rate, a 24.2% strikeout rate, and 109 wR+. His 112.6 mph max exit velocity this year ranks in the 91st percentile, and his 105.7 mph EV90 is in the 82nd percentile. He also has an impressive 8.7% barrel rate and a 45% hard-hit rate. The idea of his right-handed power bat coming to the friendly confines of Coors Field should excite plenty of fantasy baseball managers. While there's admittedly some whiff in his game, for the most part, Condon's swing decisions are encouraging. He only chases 18.5% of the time, which ranks in the 90th percentile and is quite impressive for a power bat. It seems like his MLB debut could happen any day now, so fantasy managers should get ahead of the waiver wire rush and add Condon now.

Charlie Condon Homers Again, Major-League Debut Coming?
Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon homered on Tuesday for the second straight game, and after going 31 games without a home run from April 14 through May 22, the 6-foot-5 slugger has now homered six times in his last 14 games, with five doubles to boot. Not only that, during this stretch he is hitting .280 and reaching base at a .422 clip thanks to a strong 16.9 percent walk rate, while keeping the strikeouts at a palatable 18.6 percent rate. For the season, the Rockies' second-ranked prospect is slashing .250/.385/.466 with 10 home runs and five steals through 55 games. Though it was fellow outfield prospect Cole Carrigg who was recently promoted to Colorado, Condon's turn shouldn't be too far off, and with the ability to play both corner infield spots, both corner outfield spots, or simply be the designated hitter, there are multiple paths to the majors. With multiple players slumping and the team already firmly in the basement of the NL West, the 23-year-old should be up by midseason and should be considered a top bat to stash for home runs.

Charlie Condon Enters Week 11 as Top Stash Candidate with High Power Upside
Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon remains an elite stash option among hitting prospects ahead of Week 11. Condon was under consideration to potentially break camp with the MLB roster despite not taking a single at-bat at the Triple-A level. While he was sent to the top club in the system to begin the campaign, the former Georgia superstar has continued to showcase his high-end raw talent in the minor leagues. Through 54 games at Albuquerque, Condon has held a .249/.383/.454 line with an .837 OPS, 13 doubles, nine home runs, and five stolen bases. Since May 23, Condon has taken his production even further, carrying a .277/.424/.702 line with five round-trippers. With a viable path to everyday at-bats on a rebuilding Rockies roster, Condon holds high-end stash upside in all formats.

Charlie Condon Riding 12-Game Hitting Streak, MLB Debut Imminent?
Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon's 31-game homerless stretch feels like a distant memory after the week and a half that he's had for Triple-A Albuquerque, blasting four home runs in his last seven games, including a walk-off winner in his latest contest. The power surge is part of a longer 12-game hit streak during which time the Rockies' second-ranked prospect has gone 16-for-45 (.356), which includes not only those four home runs, but also seven doubles, boosting his season-long slugging percentage to .471 with eight total home runs and a .262 batting average. A strong 15.1 percent walk rate has also buoyed a robust .391 on-base percentage. A high strikeout rate may limit the 23-year-old's batting average whenever he gets to the majors, but the power should play well at Coors Field, and a debut there could happen in the coming weeks. The 6-foot-5 power hitter is still a solid stash option in deeper leagues, especially for managers in search of home runs.

Charlie Condon Sees Stash Value Soar During Nine-Game Hitting Streak
Colorado Rockies top prospect Charlie Condon has seen his stash upside soar over the past week amid his incredible performance at the plate. Over his last nine games, Condon has tallied at least one hit in all these games while carrying an overall .333/.436/.667 line with a 1.103 OPS. During this nine-game stretch, the former George standout has hit five doubles and gone deep twice. This is worth noting as Condon was in the midst of a lengthy power drought at Triple-A, as he posted a modest .592 OPS with no long balls over his last 26 games prior to this skid. Overall, Condon sits with a solid .251/.384/.427 line through his first 45 games at the top club. While the team's current first baseman, TJ Rumfield, avoided a potentially serious injury earlier in the week, Condon could still find an easy path to joining the roster, as the team lacks many proven hitters. Given his power upside and recent surge, Condon is a top stash target in all 12-team leagues ahead of Week 10.

TJ Rumfield Returns After Injuring his Hand on Monday Night
Colorado Rockies rookie first baseman TJ Rumfield (hand) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday after an injury scare to his hand in Monday's loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to MLB.com. Rumfield is at first base and is batting third in the order against Dodgers right-hander Shohei Ohtani. The 26-year-old left-handed slugger was hit on the hand by a pitch in Monday's series opener at Dodger Stadium and was held out of the lineup for Game 2 of the series as a precaution. He's now back in action for the last-place Rockies, but he'll have a difficult task at hand against Ohtani, who has been one of the best starting pitchers in baseball in 2026 with an ERA currently under 1.00. Rumfield, a former 12th-round pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2021 out of Virginia Polytechnic Institute, has been one of the bright spots for the Rockies this year, hitting .284/.357/.453 with an .809 OPS, seven homers, 27 RBI, and 22 runs in 190 at-bats. He's been even better in his last 10 games, hitting .345 with five RBI and four runs scored. Still, Rumfield will be a tough sell against the four-time MVP in DFS formats in his return on Wednesday.

Promotion Nearing for Charlie Condon With Open Role on MLB Roster?
Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon's major-league debut could be right around the corner, as the former third overall draft pick is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, during which time he's gone 9-for-28 (.321), including four doubles and a home run. Not only that, but Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield exited Monday's contest after being hit by a pitch on the hand. X-rays were negative, but if it is determined that he'll need to miss some time, then Condon could very well be his replacement. After the recent seven-game hit streak, Condon is slashing .247/.374/.404 with five home runs and four steals, and although his strikeout rate remains elevated at 25.6 percent, a 14.2 percent walk rate shows that the Rockies' second-ranked prospect has a keen eye. With a potential debut on deck while calling Coors Field home, the 6-foot-5 power hitter should be considered a top offensive stash in most leagues for his home run upside.

TJ Rumfield Leaves After Hit-by-Pitch on his Hand
Colorado Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield (hand) was forced to leave Monday night's contest in Los Angeles against the Dodgers after being hit by a pitch on his hand in the first inning, according to Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post. It could be a serious blow for the Rockies, as Rumfield is a National League Rookie of the Year candidate. The 26-year-old left-handed-hitting first baseman came into Monday's series opener against the Dodgers with a .284/.354/.453 slash line, an .806 OPS, seven home runs, 27 RBI, and 22 runs scored in 212 plate appearances across his first 53 major-league games. Rumfield will most certainly be sent for X-rays after he was hit by a 97 mph heater to begin the contest at Dodger Stadium. He was replaced at first base by Edouard Julien. If Rumfield is forced to miss extended time with his hand injury, third baseman Kyle Karros could slide across the diamond to play first base for the Rockies. Rumfield is currently rostered in 15% of Yahoo leagues. UPDATE: X-rays on Rumfield's right hand came back negative.

Charlie Condon a Must-Add Prospect with Impressive Discipline and Exit Velocities?
Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has only slugged four homers this year, but he has above-average power upside and an impressive ability to get on base. Through 40 Triple-A games this year, he's slashing .240/.370/.383 with four homers, 18 RBI, three steals, a career-high 15% walk rate, a 25% strikeout rate, and 88 wRC+. His walk rate ranks in the 80th percentile at Triple-A, and he's shown very good plate discipline overall with a 19.5% chase rate (89th percentile). His 105.7 mph EV90 also suggests that he could be getting unlucky in terms of home runs, and his ability to hit balls hard could lead to increased home run numbers once he reaches the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field. A high-priority waiver wire target, Condon is available in 96% of leagues, and he ranks #2 among first base prospects in RotoBaller's latest redraft rankings.

TJ Rumfield Stays Hot at the Plate, Emerging as Must-Add Slugger?
Colorado Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield has been a huge addition to his team's offense, and he can give your fantasy lineup a boost if you're looking for some power production at first base from the waiver wire. Rumfield was acquired from the Yankees in a trade late in spring training and earned the starting 1B job with a big spring. He has lived up to his potential through 200 plate appearances this season, hitting .275 with six homers, 20 runs scored, and 25 RBI. He has a .349 wOBA and a .433 SLG, with just a 15.5% K%. Rumfield has been especially hot lately, going 2-for-4 on Wednesday against the Rangers and hitting .321 with three homers and a .414 wOBA over his last 15 games. The Rockies are in Arizona for a four-game series this weekend at Chase Field before heading to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers next week. Rumfield is a solid waiver wire pickup even as the Rockies go on the road, though, since he has produced great batting average and power numbers as a key part of the heart of Colorado's lineup.

Homerless Drought Continues for Charlie Condon, Still a Stash Option?
Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon continues to tread water at Triple-A Albuquerque, collecting a hit in eight of his last 10 games but going just 9-for-42 (.214) over that span with a 36.2 percent strikeout rate. The former third-overall draft pick has a superb 19.7 percent chase rate (88th percentile) that's allowed him to draw walks at a strong 15.3 percent clip, and still has plenty of pop in his bat, with a max exit velocity this season of 112.6 percent (91st percentile), but he likely needs to get the strikeouts under control to see his average start to creep back up and get back on track in the power department. The 6-foot-5 slugger has now gone 27 straight games without a home run after belting four in his first 10 contests. For the season, the 23-year-old is slashing .232/.369/.366, so he's not pushing the issue for a promotion, and the Colorado starters are probably doing enough to hold off the youngster's debut a while longer, but Condon could be called up sometime in June, so managers in deep leagues looking for a power bat should still consider stashing the UGA product ahead of time.
