Ryan Waldschmidt Emerging as Top Stash Candidate Given Open Outfield Role
Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt is continuing to see his value as a stash candidate increase in Week 2 of the fantasy baseball season. This week, the Diamondbacks shifted outfielder Jordan Lawlar (wrist) to the 60-day injured list. Lawlar now joins Pavin Smith (elbow) and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (elbow) of Arizona outfielders on the shelf. Waldschmidt, the 31st overall pick from the 2024 MLB Draft, was in serious contention to break camp with the MLB roster but fell just short in the competition. He was instead optioned to Triple-A Reno to begin the 2026 regular season. Through his first 10 games at the level, Waldschmidt has held a .237/.396/.395 line with four doubles, one triple, no home runs, and a solid 14:10 K:BB. If Arizona continues to find inconsistent production in their injured outfield, Waldschmidt will likely earn the call to the big leagues. Given that he hit 18 home runs and stole 29 bags over 134 MiLB games last season, he is a top stash option in deeper five-outfielder leagues.
