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.

Cole Carrigg Launches Second Career Home Run, Entering Must-Roster Status?
Colorado Rockies outfielder Cole Carrigg hit his second career home run and logged three RBI in his team's 6-4 loss to the Athletics on Friday. The 24-year-old has gotten off to a hot start since making his MLB debut on Tuesday, hitting .267/.313/.800 with two home runs, four RBI, and two runs scored across 16 plate appearances. Carrigg also demonstrated elite speed at Triple-A before being promoted, hitting .338/.414/.529 with six home runs, 42 RBI, 55 runs scored, and 30 stolen bases across 257 plate appearances. With Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle (oblique) currently on the 10-day injured list and yet to resume baseball activities, Carrigg should have an extended run of everyday playing time in center field with the Rockies. Particularly given his hitter-friendly home environment in Colorado, Carrigg could emerge as a valuable source of power and speed for fantasy managers and should be a priority target on the waiver wire.

Jake McCarthy Remains Absent With Illness on Friday
Colorado Rockies outfielder Jake McCarthy (illness) is still under the weather and is sitting out of the lineup for Friday's series opener in Las Vegas against the hosting Athletics, according to MLB.com. Troy Johnston is getting another start in right field and will hit fifth for the Rockies against rookie left-hander Gage Jump. McCarthy remains day-to-day with an illness and is missing his third straight game. Hopefully, he'll be feeling good enough to return to the starting nine for Game 2 of the series in Vegas on Saturday against the A's. The 28-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder has played well this year in his first season with the Rockies, slashing .282/.326/.448 with a .775 OPS, four home runs, 27 RBI, 22 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases in his 174 at-bats. McCarthy doesn't have much pop (even at Coors Field), but his speed on the base paths makes him useful as outfield depth in deeper leagues, especially while both Mickey Moniak (ankle) and Brenton Doyle (oblique) are on the injured list. He has gone 9-for-32 (.281) with a homer, three doubles, three RBI, four runs, and a steal in seven games so far in June.

Jake McCarthy Still Under the Weather on Thursday
Colorado Rockies outfielder Jake McCarthy (illness) remains under the weather and is out of the starting lineup on Thursday in the series finale at Coors Field against the visiting Chicago Cubs, according to MLB.com. Troy Johnston is making another start in right field and will bat fifth against Cubs right-hander Edward Cabrera. McCarthy was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to illness and will miss a second straight contest. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Friday to see if he's feeling good enough to return to action for the series opener in Sacramento against the Athletics. The 28-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder has taken advantage of more playing time in the last month in Denver with both Mickey Moniak (ankle) and Brenton Doyle (oblique) on the injured list. The speedy outfielder is currently slashing .282/.326/.448 with four home runs, 27 RBI, 22 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases in his 174 at-bats in his first year in Colorado.

Jake McCarthy Scratched on Wednesday With Illness
Colorado Rockies outfielder Jake McCarthy (illness) was scratched from the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the visiting Chicago Cubs at Coors Field due to an illness, according to the team. Troy Johnson will make the start in right field for the Rockies and will bat seventh against Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga. McCarthy is under the weather, but he could be back in the lineup as soon as Thursday's series finale in Denver against Chicago. The 28-year-old speedy left-handed hitter has seen an increase in playing time in the past month with both Mickey Moniak (ankle) and Brenton Doyle (oblique) on the injured list, and he's taken advantage, hitting .282 (49-for-174) with four home runs, 27 RBI, 22 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases in 56 games in his first year with the Rockies. McCarthy has been especially hot recently, going 18-for-59 (.305) with two homers, four doubles, eight RBI, 10 runs, and two steals in 14 games since May 24. If you need speed in deeper leagues, McCarthy is worth a look off the waiver wire.

Brenton Doyle Hasn't Resumed Baseball Activities
Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle (oblique) can do daily activities without feeling pain in his left oblique, but he hasn't graduated to baseball activities, according to MLB.com. Doyle has been on the 10-day injured list since May 21 with a left-oblique contusion, and there remains no timetable for his return. But if the 28-year-old can resume baseball activities sooner rather than later, he could be in line for a potential late-June return. The former fourth-rounder in 2019 out of Shepherd University broke out with 23 home runs, 72 RBI, and 30 stolen bases in 149 games played for the Rockies in his second year in the big leagues in 2024, but he hasn't looked the same since. Doyle hit .233 (117-for-502) last year with only 15 home runs and 18 stolen bases, and he's barely hit over the Mendoza Line with just one homer and nine steals across his first 43 games in 2026 for Colorado. Regular playing time won't be guaranteed to Doyle when he recovers from his oblique injury, which is why he's now rostered in only 32% of Yahoo leagues.

Mickey Moniak Yet to Do Change-of Direction Running
Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak (ankle) continues to hit, throw, and do some running in baseball cleats. He is making progress, but he hasn't been scheduled to do any change-of-direction tests yet, according to MLB.com. Moniak has been on the 10-day since May 22 with tendinitis in his right ankle. Depending on when he's cleared to ramp up his running program, the left-handed slugger could return to the Rockies' lineup by mid-June. The 28-year-old former first overall pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2016 out of La Costa Canyon High School in California has taken off in the last two years in Colorado and is currently hitting .280 (42-for-150) with 12 home runs, 28 RBI, 21 runs scored, and one stolen base in 43 games in 2026, but has he already peaked in his seventh year in the majors? Moniak is sporting just a .324 xwOBA and an expected batting average of .228. He has really hit his stride offensively since landing in Denver, but fantasy managers may want to expect plenty of regression once he returns from the IL.

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.

Rockies Promote No. 6-Ranked Prospect Cole Carrigg to Major Leagues
The Colorado Rockies are promoting top outfield prospect Cole Carrigg to the major leagues ahead of Tuesday's contest against the Chicago Cubs. Currently, the outfielder sits as the team's No. 6 overall-ranked prospect on MLB.com. Carrigg joined the Rockies in the third round of the 2023 MLB Draft and has enjoyed a dominant start to the regular season at the Triple-A level. With Albuquerque, Carrigg has posted a dominant .338/.414/.529 line with a stellar.943 OPS. Across this 57-game stint, the outfielder has hit six home runs and swiped an impressive 30 bags. During the 2025 campaign, Carrigg stole 46 bags while going deep 15 times across 123 games at Double-A. With Tyler Freeman now joining Brenton Boyle, Jordan Beck, and Mickey Moniak on the injured list, Carrigg could be given ample at-bats in this lineup. His elite raw speed makes him a worthwhile waiver wire target in 12-team standard leagues.

Zac Veen a Priority Power Bat to Target in Fantasy Baseball?
Colorado Rockies outfielder Zac Veen continues to have a productive season at the plate, and he has emerged as an intriguing prospect to stash in fantasy baseball leagues. Through 54 Triple-A games this year, Veen is slashing .317/.417/.525 with eight homers, 35 RBI, 13 steals, a 14.6% walk rate, and a 21.3% strikeout rate. He might be striking out a little more than we'd like to see from a player in Triple-A, but he makes up for it with the power, speed, and walks. The advanced metrics are also quite impressive, as he owns a 105.3 mph EV90 (78th percentile), a 47.9% hard-hit rate (85th percentile), and a 73.59% zone swing rate (83rd percentile). He has also played in 165 Triple-A games over three years, which means that he has certainly served his time and proven himself capable of playing at the next level. A promotion to the majors seems inevitable within the next month or two, and fantasy managers should get ahead of the surge by stashing Veen now.

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.

Mickey Moniak Resumes Baseball Activities, No Timeline for a Return
Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak (ankle), who went on the 10-day injured list on May 22 with right-ankle tendinitis, has resumed baseball activities, according to Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette. "He's feeling better. He hit off the tee some while we were in Anaheim," manager Warren Schaeffer said. The skipper also said that Moniak could need a minor-league rehab assignment before returning to the big-league lineup, and there remains no timeline for a return. The 28-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder continues to thrive in Colorado, as he's hitting .280/.335/.607 with a .942 OPS, 12 home runs, 28 RBI, 21 runs scored, and a stolen base in his first 43 games in 2026. However, fantasy managers may want to sell high on him once he returns from the IL, as he currently sits with an xwOBA of just .324 and an expected batting average of just .228. Moniak ranks in just the 51st percentile in hard-hit rate and is in the fifth percentile in chase rate.

Cole Carrigg Carries High-End Stash Upside When Looking for Stolen Bases
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Cole Carrigg has enjoyed an impressive start to the Triple-A regular season and remains a top hitting prospect to stash ahead of Week 11. After spending the entire 2025 season at the Double-A level, Carrigg was given the green light to begin the 2026 season with the top club in the minor leagues and has performed quite well. Through his first 54 games at the level, Carrigg has held a dominant .338/.413/.521 slash line with 14 doubles, five triples, five home runs, and 29 stolen bases. Last season, Carrigg shipped 46 bags over his 123 games with Double-A. With several starting outfielders on the MLB roster on the shelf due to injury, including Brenton Doyle and Mickey Moniak, Carrigg has a clear path to make an impact in the first half. His elite speed potential makes him a prior target for those in category leagues.

Cole Carrigg Remains a Must-Stash for Stolen-Base Upside
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Cole Carrigg has cooled off somewhat over his last five games, going 3-for-18 (.167) over that stretch, but two of his three hits went for extra bases (doubles), he continued to get on base with a 4:5 BB:K, and stole three bases during that time. For the season, the Rockies' sixth-ranked prospect is slashing an impressive .345/.412/.532 at Triple-A Albuquerque, with five home runs and 29 steals. A strikeout rate of just 14.8 percent and a 9.6 percent walk rate show a disciplined approach, and he should be a strong consideration for a major league debut in the coming weeks. The switch-hitter's most appealing attribute is his speed, having stolen 99 bags between 2024 and 2025, but with 32 home runs combined in those two seasons, there is certainly some pop in his bat as well, and he is a career .283 hitter in the minors, so the 6-foot-2 slugger has a fantasy-friendly skillset. Given his proximity to the majors, Carrigg should be considered one of the top prospect hitters to stash in fantasy leagues, especially for managers searching for steals.

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.
