New York Yankees top prospect George Lombard Jr. could be in the mix to make his MLB debut much sooner than anticipated. With the team's current shortstop, Jose Caballero, on the injured list and the replacement option, Anthony Volpe struggling to make much of an impact, the Yankees could fast-track their top prospect to fill the role on the MLB roster. Lombard opened the 2026 campaign at Double-A Somerset but needed just another 20 games at the level to prove he was ready to join Triple-A. With Double-A, Lombard posted a strong .971 OPS with four home runs and four stolen bases over this short stint. However, since moving up to Triple-A, Lombard has seen his production decline, posting a .146 AVG with no extra-base hits (12 games). Despite this, he has shown a strong eye, drawing 16 walks compared to nine strikeouts. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Lombard's bat. Once he finds his footing against the top pitching in the minors, it may not take long for the Yankees to call his name, especially if Caballero's injury begins to linger.--Andy Smith

Chicago White Sox starting pitching prospect Hagen Smith is climbing up the stash ranks among pitchers and could be in the mix to debut in the coming weeks. Throughout his time in the minor leagues, Smith has flashed elite strikeout upside and could provide immediate value for fantasy managers. Smith spent the next 2025 season with Double-A and was given the green light to open the 2026 campaign at the top club in the White Sox system, Triple-A Charlotte. With the Knights, Smith, the former fourth overall pick from the 2024 MLB Draft, has struck out an eye-catching 35 hitters over just 26 1/3 innings. During this stint, he has held a 4.10 ERA with a modest 1.29 WHIP. However, removing his recent five-run showing, Smith would carry a much stronger 2.82 ERA over his first 22 1/3 innings. While his command remains a weakness in his profile, given Chicago's lack of proven pitching depth, they could turn to Smith in the near future, as they were not concerned with giving another young prospect, Noah Schultz, an early call-up.--Andy Smith

Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has seen his stash upside continue to drop as his slump at Triple-A lingers. The former Georgia superstar was enjoying a hot start to his Triple-A campaign, but has since seen his production take a steep decline. Over his first 16 games of the campaign, the former third overall pick posted a .328/.455/.574 slash line with three doubles, four home runs, three stolen bases, and a 14:13 K:BB. However, since this surge, Condon has posted a much lower .152/.296/.182 line with only two extra-base hits, with both of them being doubles. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his production, but given his declining power and overall production remaining unstable, managers in shallower leagues should not view Condon as a high-end stash option. However, those in the 12+ team formats should continue to view him as a mid-end stash target in leagues that have multiple N/A spots, as he could still debut before the end of the first half.--Andy Smith

New York Yankees right-handed pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez could be in the mix to return to the MLB roster in the near future. Earlier this week, the team's ace, Max Fried, exited his start early with an elbow injury. While it is yet to be seen whether Fried will have a stint on the injured list, Rodriguez will likely be the next man called up if he misses time. The team's No. 3-ranked prospect made his MLB debut earlier this season and endured some growing pains in the Bronx. Over his first two MLB starts, Rodriguez posted a modest 5.19 ERA and showed troubling command, with a high 18.2% walk rate. However, with the top club in the minor leagues, Rodriguez has been very sharp, posting a 1.38 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and a 26:9 K:BB over 26 frames. Given the solid upside he has shown at Triple-A, Rodriguez is worth stashing in 12+ team leagues ahead of his potential return to the major leagues.--Andy Smith

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed closer Edwin Diaz (elbow), a three-time All-Star, is linked to cockfighting events in Puerto Rico, according to Josh Peter of USA Today Sports. Diaz is pictured in a Dodgers uniform in a Facebook post dated Feb. 2 and a post dated Feb. 4 advertising cockfighting tournaments. Text in one of the ads, translated into English, reads, "The Puerto Rico Cockfighting Club invites all enthusiasts to a special match and a grand tribute to one of our island's greatest sources of pride: A Tribute to the Puerto Rican Star and Cockfighter Edwin 'Sugar' Díaz." The maximum penalty for participants in a cockfight is five years in prison and a fine, and the maximum penalty for a spectator is one year in prison and a fine. The 32-year-old veteran, who is currently on the 60-day injured list after having surgery on April 22 to remove loose bodies from his right elbow, could be facing significant punishment from MLB.

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery is seeing his stash value continue to increase, and he enters Week 8 as one of the top hitting prospects to stash. Montgomery opened the campaign at the Double-A level but has since been promoted to Triple-A and is now on the verge of joining the White Sox. With Double-A, the former first-round pick swung a hot bat, which led to his early promotion. At this level, Montgomery posted a .313/.429/.606 slash line with five doubles, three triples, six home runs, and two stolen bases. Since moving up to the top level of the minor leagues, the outfielder has gone 8-for-33 with one home run and an 11:3 K:BB. If Montgomery continues to improve, he could find an easy path to join the current Chicago outfield that is currently dealing with many injuries, including to Everson Pereira and Austin Hays.--Andy Smith

Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper is on the verge of his MLB debut and makes a strong case to be viewed as the overall No. 1-hitting prospect to stash ahead of Week 8. Culpepper has looked quite comfortable throughout the early going of the Triple-A campaign and could provide a much-needed spark to the Minnesota roster. Through his first 36 games against Triple-A pitching, the infielder has posted a strong .253/.345/.460 slash line with seven doubles, eight home runs, and eight stolen bases. During this stint, he has struck out 35 times but drawn a solid 20 walks. Last summer, he spent his time with High-A and Double-A and looked just as comfortable, hitting 20 home runs while swiping 25 bags. With Byron Buxton potentially in danger of missing time and the Twins not receiving consistent offense from Luke Keaschall and Royce Lewis, Culpepper could be in the mix to debut in the immediate future.--Andy Smith

New York Mets first baseman/designated hitter Jorge Polanco (Achilles, wrist) received a platelet-rich plasma injection around a month ago in an effort to support his recovery from an Achilles injury, according to Will Sammon of The Athletic. Polanco last played on April 14, and his return date remains unclear, even though he is taking batting practice. He initially went on the 10-day injured list with a wrist injury, but his Achilles problem started first and has lingered. President of baseball operations David Stearns said on Tuesday that Polanco's Achilles tendon needs to be "asymptomatic" before the team knows when he'll return. The 32-year-old veteran has gone just 10-for-56 (.179) with one home run in 14 games in his first season with the Mets, and he's one of cour regular missing from the lineup due to injury, including shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf), outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (back), and catcher Francisco Alvarez (knee). Polanco had an .821 OPS with 26 homers last year for the Mariners in 138 games, but he's also had a history of lower-body injuries. He's currently rostered in only 26% of Yahoo leagues.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow (back) is eligible to come off the 15-day injured list next weekend (May 22), but manager Dave Roberts told Jack Harris of The California Post that he won't be ready by then. Glasnow has been playing catch the last few days, but it's unclear when he'll throw off a mound again. Roberts said the Dodgers are taking their time with his recovery. A report on Thursday made it seem like Glasnow might be ready when eligible, but the Dodgers are pumping the brakes on that. It makes sense for the Dodgers to slow-play the oft-injured 32-year-old veteran. But barring a setback, Glasnow should return to L.A.'s starting rotation before the end of May. In the meantime, Glasnow is a must-stash fantasy pitcher in all formats for his strikeout upside when healthy. He's been solid in his seven starts for the Dodgers this year, going 3-0 with a 2.72 ERA with a 0.83 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 39 2/3 innings pitched. When Glasnow is ready to return, Roki Sasaki will likely be moved to the bullpen, unless the Dodgers move to a six-man rotation.--Keith Hernandez

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung has had a phenomenal season thus far in 2026, slashing .325/.372/.510 with five home runs, 19 runs scored, 20 RBI, and one stolen base through 151 at-bats. He is impacting the ball tremendously, with a 47.6 percent hard-hit rate, 90.4 mph average exit velocity, and also owns a .309 xBA, which is supporting his breakout. Additionally, his plate discipline has improved dramatically, as his career strikeout rate is 26.6 percent, and this year it's down to 15.9 percent. This season, Jung is looking like a new hitter, and it's paying dividends for fantasy managers that are rostering him, especially at the third base position, which is fairly thin in fantasy baseball. Over the past seven days, Jung is slashing .375/.375/.542 with a double and a home run. He is entering must-add territory in all formats based on his consistent production, and if fantasy managers see him on the waiver wire, they should consider adding him to their roster.--Nicho Roessler

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has finished three straight seasons as the WR3 in half-PPR formats, and even in an offseason where the team brought in no notable target competition, he remains perpetually undervalued in dynasty rankings, currently sitting at RotoBaller's WR6. Detroit's biggest ticket pass-catching additions this offseason were Greg Dortch, tight end Tyler Conklin, and fifth-round pick Kendrick Law. The Lions come into 2026 with their third offensive coordinator in as many years, but with Jared Goff's 18,206 passing yards since 2022 leading the league by a substantial margin, Detroit's offense has become practically automatic under Dan Campbell. Drew Petzing now takes over coordinator duties fresh off a season with the Cardinals in which journeyman quarterback Jacoby Brissett's 3,366 passing yards upon seizing the starting job in Week 6 trailed only Goff. As long as the nucleus remains in place, the Lions' offense should continue to roll, and outside of injury, few foreseeable scenarios would land the 26-year-old St. Brown far from another league-winning fantasy finish.--Patrick McGrath

Arizona Diamondbacks top-ranked prospect and MLB's 51st-ranked prospect, outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt, was called up to the big-league club on May 8 after the team traded Alek Thomas to the Dodgers, clearing the path for Waldschmidt to take advantage of the opportunity he's been given. Through 19 plate appearances, he's collected five hits, three RBI, one walk, one run, and one walk. Waldschmidt is a solid pure hitter with five category potential, as he slashed .289/.419/.473 with 18 home runs, 114 runs scored, 78 RBI, 29 stolen bases on the minors last year, and started 2026 in Triple-A, where he had a similar slash line of .289/.400/.477 with three home runs, 30 runs scored, 22 RBI, and six stolen bases through 156 plate appearences. In other words, he has performed and done it at every stop through his minor league career, so now it's a matter of taking off with his opportunity at the majors, and if he does, he will be a solid contributor to all five categories, making him a must-add player in five outfield leagues.--Nicho Roessler

With the Cleveland Browns selecting two wideouts within the first 39 picks of the 2026 NFL Draft, incumbent wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has been viewed as one of fantasy's biggest offseason losers, falling all the way to WR85 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings. While no real argument can be made that his situation has improved, Jeudy is only one year removed from a WR15 finish, and he did lead the team with 105 targets in 2025, though his league-worst 47.6% reception rate resulted in only 50 catches. With a healthy Deshaun Watson back in the mix and Shedeur Sanders having another year of development under his belt after starting the final seven games of 2025, the quarterback play in Cleveland could be at least marginally better, resulting in a higher quality of target. Even if the improved receiver room limits him to fewer than 100 opportunities, with him priced at his absolute floor, the 27-year-old Jeudy should still see enough of a role to make him a worthwhile throw-in as part of a larger deal or a late-round swing in dynasty startups.--Patrick McGrath

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns has taken his game to a new level as a playmaker in the 2026 NBA playoffs. Through the first two rounds of action, Towns is averaging 6.6 assists per game -- more than double his regular-season average of 3.0. During the regular season, he finished with double-digit assists just once but has done so three times already in 10 playoff games. The Knicks have a perfect 7-0 record in the playoffs when Towns dishes out at least five assists. His efforts as a playmaker have helped the Knicks build a seven-game winning streak heading into the Eastern Conference Finals, where Towns is expected to maintain a key role.--Taavi Pailk

New York Mets outfielder A.J. Ewing, who is the Mets' third-ranked prospect and MLB's 85th-ranked prospect, has been making a splash since getting called up on May 12. Ewing was called up because Luis Robert's (back) recovery is not going well, and the Mets' offense has needed a spark, and Ewing has delivered thus far, going 3-for-9 with a triple, home run, three RBI, one stolen base, and four runs scored over three games started. Ewing has delivered at every stop across the minors, hitting .339 in 2026 and .315 in 2025. His bat-to-ball skills and speed are elite, making him a strong play in points leagues, but if he can continue to showcase some power as he did on Thursday, the upside is unlimited. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to all of a sudden showcase decent to even good power now that he's at the MLB level, but he should be a solid contributor to batting average, runs, and steals, especially if he is going to be getting moved up to the top of the Mets batting order and batting around Juan Soto.--Nicho Roessler

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Skyler Bell may not see the field immediately as a rookie, taking a monumental step up from FBS Independent Connecticut to the NFL, but his unique versatility could allow him to play across the formation, creating multiple paths to playing time. Bell is slightly undersized at 6'0" and 185 pounds, and he drew some draft day comps to current Bills slot receiver Khalil Shakir, but most of his collegiate success came on the outside. As a fourth-round pick, there's little pressure for him to earn a starting role out of training camp, but his ability to back up multiple receiver positions while tied to one of the league's elite quarterback talents makes him a player worth looking at in the second half of rookie drafts. At RotoBaller's rookie WR18, Bell is a low-cost investment whose outlandish college production and fantasy-friendly landing spot point to one of the higher potential ceilings from the bottom of the draft board.--Patrick McGrath

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren has struggled during the 2026 NBA Playoffs but remains eager to improve. "Absolutely, I feel like I could be better in all aspects of the game," Duren told reporters after Wednesday's Game 5 loss to Cleveland. "Continue to grind and continue to grow." In Wednesday's overtime loss, Duren didn't see any action after the third quarter, finishing with nine points, five rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 25 minutes. After earning his first All-Star selection in the regular season, Duren's production has dipped to 10.1 points and 8.3 rebounds per game during the playoffs. With the Pistons facing elimination on Friday night, they need Duren to break out of his slump more than ever. If he doesn't start strong, we might see a lot of Paul Reed again after his impressive 10-point, eight-rebound outing on Wednesday.--Taavi Pailk

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Louis Varland appears to have fully taken over the closer role for the Blue Jays. Since it was announced by the team on April 21 that they would be moving to Varland as their closer, he has now converted all five of his save opportunities, solidifying himself as the clear favorite after because of a struggling Jeff Hoffman's struggles. Varland has been outstanding this season, regardless of the situation, with a 0.42 ERA and 1.20 WHIP, along with 32 strikeouts in 21 2/3 innings. In addition to his five saves, he also has three holds, as he was generally used as a high-leverage arm for the Blue Jays prior to being called upon as the ninth-inning guy. In formats where you prioritize saves, Varland is a must-add, as he has worked his way into being a top-10 closer in baseball, so long as he continues to get the opportunities, which appears to be the case.--Nicho Roessler

One year removed from an Offensive Rookie of the Year-winning season that had him in the conversation as the No. 1 overall asset in superflex dynasty leagues, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has fallen notably in consensus rankings, often lasting to the 1-2 turn in dynasty startups. Unlike Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, who saw a similar fall from grace after a historic rookie season, most of Daniels' sophomore struggles can be blamed on injuries, both to himself and to his already thin receiving core. Heading into 2026, both Daniels and Terry McLaurin are projected at full health, and the Commanders have surrounded their third-year quarterback with an interesting group of pass-catchers, adding tight end Chig Okonkwo and running back Rachaad White through free agency before spending a third-round pick on slot receiver Antonio Williams. With the offense around him arguably the strongest it's been since coming into the league as the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Daniels current ranking of RotoBaller's QB4 could represent a floor that he may not return to for several years, making him by no means a low-cost buy, but a potentially undervalued one.--Patrick McGrath

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Logan Henderson has been solid since getting called back up to the Brewers rotation on May 3 in place of Brandon Woodruff (shoulder). Over his two starts since the callup, he has started two games, thrown 11 innings, allowed seven hits, four earned runs, one walk, and 13 strikeouts. For his career, he has now made eight starts and owns a 2.58 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 31 1/3 innings pitched. Henderson features an elite changeup and a solid fastball with an above-average induced vertical break of 17.9 inches, which compensates for his fastball velocity being on the lower end (93.1 average mph). Regardless of his arsenal, over eight MLB starts, Henderson has proved he belongs, and he's been extremely effective when he's been called up, making him a must-roster player so long as he stays in the rotation. Henderson figures to remain in the rotation as long as Woodruff remains sidelined, with the upside to stay in if he continues to pitch well.--Nicho Roessler

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas caught only 33 passes for 435 yards and two scores as a third-year player in 2025, only twice turning in a weekly fantasy finish as the WR30 or better. With both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins remaining relatively healthy, Iosivas' ceiling was unsurprisingly capped, operating primarily out of the slot in three receiver sets and regularly seeing less than a double-digit target share. Cincinnati added Georgia wide receiver Colbie Young in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and while the former Bulldog and Hurricane spent more than 92% of his time on the outside in three of four collegiate seasons, any additional competition is bad news for a player whose dynasty value is already weighted so heavily by the depth chart ahead of him. The Bengals could also see a return to health from somewhat forgotten 2024 fourth-round pick Erick All Jr., whose presence as a traditional inline tight end could allow Mike Gesicki to spend more time in the slot in favor of Iosivas. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR142, Iosivas still offers unique insurance upside given the overall strength of Cincinnati's offense and the fact that the team essentially has two number one receivers who at some point could miss time, but with his already low standalone value seemingly taking a hit, he is no longer a player that needs to be held under any and all circumstances.--Patrick McGrath
