Zac Veen has Appeal as a Potential Five-Category Contributor
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen has had quite the consistent 2026 season at Triple-A Albuquerque, and that could result in some time up with Colorado in the second half of the season. In 333 at-bats at Albuquerque, Veen is hitting .312 with 16 homers and 63 RBI to go with 62 runs scored and 15 stolen bases. The No. 7 overall prospect for the Rockies, Veen is producing in his age-24 season, and it might be the perfect time for a call-up to the big leagues. The left-handed hitting outfielder has a 50-grade hit tool with 45-grade power and a 55-grade run tool. So Veen does not have the tools of a prolific big league home run hitter, but his speed should make him a five-tool prospect. A call-up to Colorado and the chance to play his home games at Coors Field would make Veen immediately attractive for fantasy purposes. Now might be the time to add Veen to fantasy rosters in anticipation of potential time in Colorado this season.

Take a Chance and Add Charlie Condon Now
Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon is hitting .306 in July and is looking day by day like a potential call-up to make his major-league debut. Condon, the former No. 3 overall pick in the MLB Draft, is tearing up Triple-A Albuquerque this season, hitting .289 with 20 homers, 62 RBI, 77 runs scored with six steals, and a .975 OPS. The No. 3 overall prospect for the Rockies, Condon is looking like a must-add in all formats as he continues to light up the Pacific Coast League. The 23-year-old right-handed hitter is looking like a player who can pay back fantasy managers who take a chance and stash him on their roster. Condon can play first base or outfield, so he offers some roster flexibility to the Rockies should they want to call him up to make his major league debut. He is looking like one of the top adds on the waiver wire even though he is still in Triple-A. He looks like a difference-maker in the second half.

Zac Veen is a Promising Pickup For Later This Season
Colorado Rockies prospect Zac Veen has shown a steady hand at Triple-A Albuquerque this season, producing solid stats and making a case for a second-half call up. Veen has racked up 16 homers and 61 RBI while scoring 60 runs and stealing 15 bases all while hitting .314. It's very solid all-around production from the talented left-handed hitter and could result in a big league shot in Colorado. Veen is the No. 13 overall prospect in the Rockies' system but his overall stats paint a much brighter picture. The 24-year-old is a five-tool prospect who could contribute to fantasy rosters as early as this season. Position prospects in Colorado always make for good fantasy pickups because of the hitting environment at Coors Field and Veen should be no exception. His rock solid profile makes him an excellent stash candidate in the second half for mid-to-deeper leagues.

Charlie Condon's Consistent Bat Could be Worth a Big-League Look
Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has been producing at a high rate all season at Triple-A Albuquerque. The former first-round pick out of Georgia is tearing up the Pacific Coast League with 20 homers and 61 RBI in 82 games with a .286 batting average to go along with 75 runs scored. The first base/outfield prospect is ranked as the No. 2 prospect in the Rockies' system and boasts a 55 overall hit tool and 55 overall power on the scouting scale. In fantasy baseball, the appeal of Colorado Rockies players is well-documented, and Condon would be a massive waiver wire addition if he is called up to the big leagues in the second half. A proven bat at age 23, Condon looks like a good option to be worth a shot in Colorado sooner rather than later. He should probably already be snatched up in fantasy leagues in anticipation of that opportunity.

Cole Carrigg a Must-Add Player in Five-Outfielder Formats
24-year-old Colorado Rockies outfielder Cole Carrigg has had a nice start to his MLB career, slashing .288/.371/.529 with four home runs, two stolen bases, 26 runs scored, and 23 RBI. He has flashed both power and speed, and plays his home games in the friendliest ballpark in all of MLB (Coors Field). Carrigg has also demonstrated a strong eye at the plate, evidenced by his 11.2 percent walk rate and 20.8 percent strikeout rate, which for a rookie is not bad at all. Under the hood, the data show some regression (.333 xwOBA, .252 xBA); however, in five-outfielder formats, he has demonstrated good power (evidenced by his four home runs since his June 9 call-up, 90th-percentile sprint speed, and two stolen bases). Carrigg is likely rostered in most deeper formats, but fantasy managers who see him out there in five outfield leagues should look to target him, as the Rockies will likely be sellers at the deadline and let the young kids play.

Mickey Moniak a Clear Waiver-Wire Option
Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak is rostered in just 40% of Yahoo leagues despite batting .276 with 15 home runs, 40 RBI, and 31 runs across 217 at-bats. He added two hits and drove in a pair during Saturday's 10-3 win over Cincinnati. The home runs have slowed lately, but Moniak has still gone deep 39 times since the start of last season. Most of that damage has come against right-handed pitching, and Colorado can sit him when a lefty is on the mound. That makes him easier to use in daily-lineup formats, but it does not erase the power. Moniak is not an automatic start every day. He is still a clear add in 10-team leagues for fantasy managers who need home runs and can work around the occasional platoon sit.

Zac Veen Not Slowing Down in Minor Leagues as MLB Promotion is in Reach
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen has continued to showcase high-end production at the Triple-A club and is making a strong case to earn his second stint in the major leagues. Through his last 40 contests at the Triple-A club in the Colorado system, the former ninth overall pick from the 2020 MLB Draft has carried an elite .355/.375/.734 line with a 1.109 OPS. During this noted surge, Veen has gone deep 12 times, tacked on 20 doubles, swiped four bags, and even hit four triples. On the season, Veen has done more than prove he's ready for the majors, posting a .967 OPS with 16 home runs and 16 stolen bases. With the Rockies likely to move many key bats at the deadline, including outfielder Mickey Moniak, Veen should face minimal competition for second-half at-bats.

Charlie Condon Stays Red-Hot in Search of Call-Up to Majors
Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has continued his brilliant minor league season with a torrid start to July before the All-Star break. In 29 July at-bats, Condon is hitting .310 with two homers and four RBI to go with six runs scored. This is all at Triple-A Albuquerque as Condon, a first-round pick out of Georgia, awaits a shot to make his big league debut. Condon is the No. 2 prospect in the Rockies' system behind Ethan Holliday, and the 23-year-old is making a case for the time to be sooner rather than later for a big league chance. The Georgia slugger represents one of the top stashes in fantasy baseball over the second half. He has proven that with 20 homers and 60 RBI while hitting .289 throughout the 2026 season. The hit tool and the power are elite for Condon, and that should translate to fantasy rosters as soon as this year. He is a priority stash across all formats.

Zac Veen Caps Off Strong First Half, Stash Option With Multi-Category Appeal?
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen capped off a phenomenal first half by belting a double in a 1-for-4 day at the plate on Sunday, his 26th double of the season, which makes him the leader in doubles at Triple-A. The Rockies' 13th-ranked prospect slashed .311/.385/.578 with 16 home runs and 14 steals through 81 games at Albuquerque, providing lots of potential multi-category appeal for fantasy. Although the 6-foot-3 slugger tends to chase, he doesn't strike out excessively (21.4 percent) and is able to draw walks at an average rate (10.6 percent), giving him a solid all-around approach to go with his power/speed combination. There is no room for him on the big league roster at the moment, and he has added competition with fellow prospect Charlie Condon making the case for a call-up as well, but Veen should have the opportunity to show off his skills sometime in the second half. The 24-year-old's tools and success this season at Triple-A portend better results than his 12-game cup of coffee with the Rockies last year, and should be considered a high-end offensive stash option in deeper fantasy leagues.

Charlie Condon Poised to Make MLB Debut Early in the Second Half?
Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon appears primed to make a difference in the second half of the season at the big-league level. Up to this point this season, Condon has proven to be a quality bat at Triple-A Albuquerque, mixing elite hitting skills with a knack for power. At Albuquerque, Condon is hitting .289 with 20 homers and 60 RBI to go with 75 runs scored. In July, Condon is hitting .310 after hitting .337 in June. The No. 2 overall prospect in the Rockies' system is starting to rake for Albuquerque, and it might not be long before the former No. 3 overall pick out of the University of Georgia makes his big league debut. It would be hard for the Rockies to keep a bat like Condon's in the minors, and now is the time to add Condon to fantasy teams. His high-upside bat should pay off big time in the second half, making him a must-stash candidate.

Rookie Outfielder Cole Carrigg Still Worth Rostering During Cold Spell?
Colorado Rockies rookie outfielder Cole Carrigg, who is ranked by MLB Pipeline as the team's No. 6 prospect, has been one of the more intriguing power/speed prospects to stash in fantasy baseball this year, but he's in a bit of a slump going into the All-Star break. Carrigg went 27-for-85 (.318) with four homers, six doubles, three triples, 21 RBI, 23 runs scored, and two stolen bases in his first 26 major-league games after debuting with Colorado on June 9. He's fallen into a funk offensively going into this week's All-Star break, though, going hitless in his last 18 plate appearances with an RBI, two walks, and seven strikeouts in his last five games to drop his season slash line to .273/.356/.515 with an .871 OPS in 119 plate appearances. The midway point of the season is coming at a good time for the 24-year-old switch-hitter, who was a second-round pick in 2023 out of San Diego State University. Going into the second half, Carrigg is still a fine upside outfielder to roster in mixed fantasy leagues, although he has struggled away from hitter-friendly Coors Field, batting .208 with two of his homers, eight walks, and 15 strikeouts.

Is Zac Veen the Priority Rockies Prospect to Stash?
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen made his MLB debut in 2025 but was given only a brief stint in the majors before ultimately being sent back to the minor leagues. In this short look, Veen posted a rough .118/.189/.235 line with one home run (over 12 games). However, this season, Veen has been among the hitters at the Triple-A level and has put himself in elite stash territory. Over the last 35 games, the 24-year-old has posted a .347/.357/.760 line with 18 doubles, 12 home runs, and three stolen bases. During this noted surge, Veen has carried a dominant 1.117 OPS. On the season, Veen has posted a sharp .312/.386/.579 line over 80 games at Triple-A Albuquerque. While his teammate Charlie Condon continues to make headlines in the power department, Veen may be slightly ahead of him on the pecking order given his previous MLB experience.

Mickey Moniak a Coors-Boosted Power Target Off Waivers?
Colorado Rockies left fielder Mickey Moniak is not a five-category add, but the power is real enough to chase. The 28-year-old is hitting .279 with 15 home runs, 38 RBI, 29 runs, one steal, and a .924 OPS over 197 at-bats. He has cooled from the early-season heater, so fantasy managers should not treat this like a free batting-average anchor. Still, 15 homers in fewer than 200 at-bats is hard to ignore on the waiver wire. The batted-ball data keeps the power case alive. Moniak owns a 13.1% barrel rate, 42.8% hard-hit rate, and 89.7 mph average exit velocity, giving him enough support beyond the Coors Field boost. Available in 57% of Yahoo leagues, Moniak still has room to move before the market fully catches up. RotoBaller's latest waiver rankings back him as an add in 10-team formats.

Jake McCarthy a Must-Add Outfielder Amidst Breakout Campaign
Across 294 plate appearances in 2026, Colorado Rockies outfielder Jake McCarthy is hitting .299/.341/.507 with nine home runs, 51 RBI, 37 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases. The 28-year-old has been consistently above-average at the plate for most of the season, and he's already hit three home runs and collected 14 RBI in July. McCarthy's underlying power metrics remain uninspiring, as he owns a 5.8% barrel rate and a 26% hard-hit rate. However, McCarthy has taken full advantage of his hitter-friendly home environment in Colorado, hitting .317 with seven home runs across 152 plate appearances at Coors Field. The lefty-swinging McCarthy has also logged a .952 OPS against same-handed pitching in 2026, which allows him to stay in the Rockies lineup every day. Between his plus speed and advantageous situation in Colorado, McCarthy profiles as a must-add outfielder in any fantasy league where he remains on the waiver wire.

Charlie Condon Still a Priority Stash Ahead of Looming All-Star Break?
Colorado Rockies top prospect Charlie Condon has enjoyed an impressive power surge at Triple-A and continues to maintain elite stash upside ahead of the All-Star break. While the former George standout has not tallied a hit over his last four games, prior to this short skid, Condon was showing immense upside. Over the previous 21 contests, the 23-year-old launched 12 home runs while carrying a sharp .415/.500/1.012 slash line, adding three doubles and a 20:10 K:BB. Through his first 78 games at the top level in the Colorado system, the former No. 3 overall pick from the 2024 MLB Draft has carried a .286/.413/.585 line with a .998 OPS. Given his elite power upside, Condon remains a must-stash candidate in all 12-team leagues as he could be a league-winner down the stretch once he earns the call.
