Will Another Productive Stretch Push James Tibbs III to MLB Debut?
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III has been hitting the ball well after a late-July swoon, hitting safely in 12 of his last 14 games, going 20-for-57 (.351) over that stretch with five doubles, a triple, a home run, three steals, and an impressive 12:13 BB:K. The home run broke a 29-game drought without a round-tripper, and the three steals are nearly half of his season total, which now stands at seven. The recent surge has brought his 2026 slash line to .294/.417/.537 with 22 home runs, and his 84 RBI and 88 runs scored are both top-five totals at Triple-A. It has been a very productive season for the Dodgers' seventh-ranked prospect, but there simply has been no room for him on the major league roster to enable a major league debut, and that remains the case today. With other options who are already on the 40-man roster in Oklahoma City that can play outfield (i.e., Ryan Ward, Alek Thomas, Hyeseong Kim), Tibbs' hopes of a 2026 debut have dimmed considerably. Consider him a speculative stash with upside if he found his way to at-bats in Los Angeles.

Zach Ehrhard Turning in Stellar Triple-A Season For Oklahoma City
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Zach Ehrhard has been having a very consistent season at Triple-A Oklahoma City and is making a case for his future in Los Angeles, although his MLB debut might not come this season. The Dodgers are loaded at the big-league level, and 2027 may be the breakthrough for Ehrhard to receive his opportunity. He's had a great year this year, though, hitting .294 with 15 homers and 75 RBI to go with 89 runs scored and 17 stolen bases. Showing off his five-category potential, Ehrhard is proving that he should be ready for an opportunity next season. The Dodgers' No. 15 prospect should be a fixture in dynasty league formats. Traded over from the Boston Red Sox, Ehrhard looks to have a bright future with the L.A. Dodgers.

James Tibbs III Looking To Break Through For MLB Opportunity
In eight August games, Los Angeles Dodgers first base/outfield prospect James Tibbs III has eight RBI while going 12-for-31 (.387) at the plate at Triple-A Oklahoma City. The 23-year-old has produced in a big way for Oklahoma City this season with 22 homers and 83 RBI to go with a .295 batting average and 88 runs scored. The left-handed hitter can play first base or in the outfield but has had a tough time making it up to the Dodgers for a big-league debut. The Dodgers are obviously loaded at the MLB level, but could turn to Tibbs III for a spark as he has done nothing but produce all year long. He's the No. 7 prospect in the Dodgers system and has a 50-grade hit tool with 50-grade power. He makes for a decent stash in mid to deep leagues with the shot he breaks through and gets an MLB debut this year.

James Tibbs III Still Producing, but Hopes for 2026 Debut Fading
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III is still putting up good numbers at Triple-A Oklahoma City, going 7-for-20 (.350) over his last five games, with two doubles, a triple, one steal, and a 3:3 BB:K. The Dodgers' ninth-ranked prospect's slash line now stands at .288/.409/.539, with the strong on-base percentage anchored by a 16.4 percent walk rate. Though the left-handed hitter has 21 home runs and continues to hit for extra bases, he's now gone 24 games without a home run. Still, the strong hitting and keen eye are things that should help get him to the majors this season, although it may be just for a late-season cup of coffee unless one of the regulars were to go down with injury before then. There is fantasy appeal here with the power and the potent lineup he'd be hitting if he got the call, but the 23-year-old isn't on the 40-man roster, and with plenty of other outfield competition for at-bats in the minors, there isn't much need to stash the former first-rounder outside of very deep leagues with multiple NA spots.

Tommy Edman a Versatile Depth Piece to Target on the Waiver Wire
After missing the start of the 2026 season while recovering from offseason ankle surgery, Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Tommy Edman has been a standout performer since his return. Across 129 plate appearances, the 31-year-old is hitting .313/.394/.455 with two home runs, 18 RBI, 19 runs scored, and three stolen bases. Edman does not profile as a high-end power source, as he's logged just a 6.7% barrel rate and a 38.2% hard-hit rate. His batting average may be due for some regression as well, as his current .388 batting average on balls in play is significantly higher than his career mark of .294. Still, Edman brings a balanced profile at the plate, and his presence in the Dodgers lineup should allow him to continue racking up runs and RBI. Particularly given his multi-positional eligibility, Edman profiles as a must-roster depth piece for fantasy managers to target on the waiver wire.

Zyhir Hope is Scratched from Saturday's Lineup
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielders Zyhir Hope and Kendall George have been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game with Double-A Tulsa, according to Jon Heyman of the MLB Network. There is no injury reason given for their absence, so the assumption is that both players could be part of an upcoming blockbuster trade. Hope is considered one of the best outfield prospects in the league and is currently ranked as the No. 25 prospect in baseball. George is a former first-round pick who offers good upside with the bat as well. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for more updates on this situation in the coming days.

James Tibbs III Has Cooled Off Over Past Two Months
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III has slowed down recently after a hot start to the season. Tibbs III has been at Triple-A Oklahoma City the whole year and has hit .209 in June and .254 in July after starting the season by hitting .326 in May. He has still shown nice power throughout the season with 21 homers and 73 RBI with 77 runs scored. Altogether, he is still hitting .283 so his batting average hasn't come down all that much even with the rough past two months. Tibbs III is the No. 9 prospect in the Dodgers' system and has a 50-grade hit tool with 50-grade power. The left-handed hitter is now 23 years old. Originally a first-round pick by the San Francisco Giants out of Florida State, Tibbs III has already spent time in the Red Sox organization before coming over to the Dodgers. Tibbs III's recent slide could mean that he doesn't debut until next season, so fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on his progress.

Tommy Edman Is a Must-Add in 12-Team Leagues
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman has hit his way back into mixed-league relevance since returning from right ankle surgery. He is batting .337/.414/.490 with two home runs, 17 RBI, 17 runs, and three stolen bases through 113 plate appearances. A .413 BABIP warns that the average will cool, but a .317 expected average, 89.4 mph average exit velocity, and 40.5% hard-hit rate show he has not simply been getting lucky. Edman's 2B/3B/OF eligibility makes him easy to keep active even as Los Angeles moves him around the diamond. He will not carry a roster in power or steals, but he can help across the board without leaving managers exposed in any one category. Edman is still sitting on the waiver wire in 67% of Yahoo leagues and ranks 34th in RotoBaller's Week 18 rankings, with an add recommendation for 12-team formats. He should already be rostered at that depth.

Mike Sirota Producing Consistently in the Minors
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Mike Sirota has split time between High-A and Double-A this season and hasn't stopped hitting all year. Between the two levels, Sirota is hitting .324 with 14 homers and 54 RBI to go with 77 runs scored and 11 stolen bases. Sirota, the No. 2 prospect in the Dodgers system, is graded out with a 55 hit tool, 55 power, and a 60 run tool, and was acquired in the trade that sent Gavin Lux to the Reds. He was a third-round pick originally by the Reds. The right-handed hitting outfielder didn't miss a beat since joining Double-A Tulsa, as his numbers are very similar to the High-A Great Lakes Loons. He has seven homers at each level, and his batting average is basically the same, dropping from .325 to .324. The consistency as he advances through the minors is a very good sign for his overall ability and shows he should be able to produce once he gets to Triple-A and then the majors. His high prospect grade and overall ability should make him a good fantasy name, but that time in the big leagues might not come until 2027.

James Tibbs III Continues to Make Case for MLB Debut
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III continues to produce while biding his time at Triple-A Oklahoma City in wait of an MLB call-up. The Dodgers' ninth-ranked prospect is 9-for-22 (.409) over his last seven games, including a pair of doubles and a 3:2 BB:K. The former first-round draft pick has put together a solid overall campaign, slashing .289/.408/.549 with 21 home runs and a 16.3 percent walk rate, with the second-most RBI (72) and runs scored (75) in the Pacific Coast League. He's gone an uncharacteristic 15 games without a home run, but with average exit velocity, barrel, and hard-hit rates all in the 90th percentile or better, his 22nd round-tripper of the year shouldn't be far off. On any other team, the left-handed hitter likely would have debuted by now, but with a healthy big league outfield and a glut of talented outfield options in the minors who are already on the 40-man roster, Tibbs' debut will have to wait. Still, the 23-year-old is one of the better stash options out there with the bat and the surrounding cast to be productive whenever he gets the call.

Tommy Edman Emerging as Priority Waiver-Wire Target During Hot Streak
Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Tommy Edman did not make his 2026 season debut until mid-June due to offseason ankle surgery. However, the veteran switch-hitter has been on fire since making his return to the lineup, entering play on Tuesday slashing .354/.440/.519 with two home runs, 14 RBI, 15 runs scored, and two stolen bases across 93 plate appearances. Edman's current .433 batting average on balls in play is well above his career mark of .294, so his numbers are likely to regress over a larger sample size of trips to the plate. Still, the 31-year-old's strong start at the plate could be a sign that he's healthier than he's been in recent seasons. At his best, Edman offers a well-rounded profile that is without any major fantasy weaknesses. His ability to play multiple positions also helps keep him in the Dodgers lineup consistently. Particularly in deeper league formats, Edman profiles as a priority depth piece to target on the waiver wire.

James Tibbs III Could be Ready for Big-League Call-Up
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III has been a part of two trades already in his career and is primed to contribute to his newest team, the Dodgers. Tibbs is producing in a big way for Triple-A Oklahoma City with 21 and 72 RBI, a .290 batting average to go with 74 runs scored. A former first-round pick by the San Francisco Giants, Tibbs is now the No. 9 prospect in the Dodgers' system. The 23-year-old left-handed hitter is delivering at a rate beyond his prospect pedigree and could be ready for a spot in the Dodgers' outfield right now. The Dodgers have no shortage of big-league-ready talent in the outfield, but Tibbs could be a sneaky addition to fantasy rosters. His Pacific Coast League numbers suggest he is ready for his big-league debut and could contribute in fantasy if given the opportunity.

Zyhir Hope Lights Up the Scoresheet with Another Multi-Home Run Game
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Zyhir Hope turned in another stellar effort at the Double-A level on Saturday evening. Facing Frisco, the No. 19 overall prospect in the sport went 3-for-4 with two home runs and two RBI. Hope has spent the entire 2026 campaign with Double-A and has performed at a high level. Through 84 total contests with Tulsa, the budding superstar has carried a .292/.373/.538 slash line with a .910 OPS. He has launched 16 doubles, added 21 round-trippers, and even swiped 15 bags. However, over his last 12 contests, Hope has seen his production soar even further, especially when looking at his power. During this noted stretch, Hope has launched eight long balls with a 1.021 SLG. Given his current pace, a call-up to Triple-A seems very likely down the stretch.

Josue De Paula Continues to Surge Up Dynasty Boards Amid 10-Game Hitting Streak
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Josue De Paula extended his hitting streak to 10 games on Friday evening. Facing Double-A Frisco, the team's top-ranked outfield prospect (per MLB.com) went 2-for-5 with a home run. During this impressive 10-game hitting streak, the 21-year-old has held a .388/.444/.673 slash line with two doubles, three home runs, and five stolen bases. On the season, MLB.com's No. 4 overall prospect has been nothing short of dominant, carrying an elite .323/.416/.554 line with a .970 OPS, 27 doubles, 16 home runs, and 25 stolen bases. While his MLB debut is still tentatively lined up for 2027, those in dynasty leagues should feel quite comfortable rostering him as he appears to be the next budding outfield prospect in the game.

Mike Sirota's Arrow Pointing Way Up in Dynasty Leagues
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Mike Sirota produced a very impressive first half between High-A and Double-A, posting similar stats at both levels while slashing .319/.475/.562 with 14 home runs, 11 steals, and nearly as many walks (74) as strikeouts (79). His elite 21.1 percent walk rate (and eight hit-by-pitches) has helped the Dodgers' second-ranked prospect to an incredible stretch of 72 consecutive games reaching base at least once. The former third-round draft pick was having a strong 2025 between Single-A and High-A, in which he slashed .333/.452/.616 with 13 home runs and five steals in 59 games before a knee injury in July ended his season prematurely, so it is good to see that the injury is clearly behind him and hasn't hampered his play this season. The Northeastern University product could see time at Triple-A later this year, and with an ability to hit for contact, power, and steal bases, the 23-year-old has emerged as a high-end dynasty asset and a name to monitor in redraft leagues.
