Brewers Send Logan Henderson to Injured List With Back Strain
The Milwaukee Brewers announced on Tuesday that they placed right-hander Logan Henderson (back) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to May 23) with a lower-back strain and recalled right-hander Coleman Crow from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Henderson threw five shutout innings with only two hits allowed and seven strikeouts in a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in his last outing last Friday, but he was bothered by a tight back and will now miss at least the next two weeks. It was his second straight start with seven K's, and he had at least seven punchouts in three of his four starts in May. The 24-year-old former fourth-rounder in 2021 out of McLennan Community College has been solid in just five starts so far in 2026, going 2-1 with a 2.74 ERA (2.38 FIP), 1.04 WHIP, and 30:6 K:BB in 23 innings pitched. Henderson is rostered in just under 48% of Yahoo leagues and is worth stashing in those formats while he heals. Crow could take Henderson's spot in Milwaukee's starting rotation and make the start in Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals.

Orioles No. 4 Prospect Trey Gibson in the Mix to Earn MLB Promotion?
Baltimore Orioles right-handed pitching prospect Trey Gibson, the team's No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is with the team on the taxi squad on Tuesday and could be ready to make his big-league debut, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. The O's have their starter for Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays listed as TBA, so Gibson could make that start. The 24-year-old made his major-league debut earlier this season and allowed four earned runs on seven hits (two homers) while walking three and striking out four in 6 2/3 innings pitched in just two outings (one start). If Gibson ends up making his second career start for Baltimore this week, fantasy managers searching for a streamer should avoid him against the first-place Rays at Camden Yards. He's a power pitcher at 6-foot-5 and 240 pounds, and he's gone 2-4 at Triple-A Norfolk in eight starts (31 2/3 frames) while posting a 3.69 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, and 32:18 K:BB. Gibson is not rostered in any Yahoo leagues and could be heading right back to Norfolk on Thursday if he makes a spot start on Wednesday.

Yohandy Morales Stays Hot, Emerges as a Top Hitter to Stash
Washington Nationals corner infield prospect Yohandy Morales continues to rake for Triple-A Rochester, collecting at least two hits in four of his last five contests, raising his season-long slash line to a sizzling .355/.431/.587 with 10 home runs. The Nats' 28th-ranked prospect hit well at Double-A last season, but batted just .249 with a 30.3 percent strikeout rate in 95 games at Triple-A in 2025. However, he's cut the strikeout rate down to 24.4 percent in 2026. The 6-foot-3 slugger owns a 92.6 percent average exit velocity(EV) this season (92nd percentile) and a max EV of 113.1 mph (93rd percentile), so there is some legitimate pop in his bat. A debut could happen in the coming weeks, so managers looking for power should give him a look, and there could be solid counting stats to follow while hitting in a surprisingly potent Washington lineup (5.42 runs/game ranks No. 1 in MLB). Eligibility at both 1B and 3B on Yahoo! add to his fantasy appeal.

Juan Soto Recovers From the Flu, Back in Tuesday's Lineup
New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (illness) is feeling better on Tuesday and will return to the starting lineup as the designated hitter while batting third against the visiting Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Chase Burns, according to MLB.com. MJ Melendez is starting in left field and will bat eighth in the order. Soto came down with the flu over the weekend and missed the last two games, but he should be returned to starting lineups in all traditional fantasy leagues now that he's active. The 27-year-old Dominican has already spent time on the injured list this year with a calf strain, but he has made up for lost time of late, going 16-for-45 (.356) with six home runs, 11 RBI, four stolen bases, and 12 runs scored in 12 games since May 12. The four-time All-Star's counting stats may be a bit down due to the missed time, but he has come on strong recently, and fantasy managers will hope that he can pick up where he left off offensively after his bout with the flu. Soto has never faced Burns in his career.

Tarik Skubal Facing Hitters on Tuesday
Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal (elbow) is set to face live hitters on Tuesday at Comerica Park, according to Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic. Skubal threw a bullpen session last Thursday for already the third time since having surgery to remove a loose body from his left elbow over two weeks ago, and now the 29-year-old southpaw has been cleared to face live hitters. The back-to-back American League Cy Young winner is making rapid progress from what was a non-invasive procedure on his elbow, potentially making him available to come off the 15-day injured list by mid-June. Manager A.J. Hinch said that it's safe to say that Skubal will go on a minor-league rehab assignment before returning to the big-league starting rotation, but he could only require one outing before getting the green light to return to the Tigers. Skubal has been by far and away the best starting pitcher in baseball the last two years, so he will give the Tigers and fantasy managers a huge boost when he's back in the majors.

Is Gage Jump a Priority Pickup Ahead of Tuesday's MLB Debut?
Athletics pitching prospect Gage Jump has been called up from Triple-A Las Vegas and will start on Tuesday at home against the Mariners. The start will be his major league debut after making nine starts for the Aviators this season. The Athletics' third-ranked prospect's season-long numbers don't look all that impressive (4.50 ERA, 1.47 WHIP), but he's looked terrific in his last two outings, allowing no runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out 15 over 11 innings pitched. The southpaw has struck out at least six batters in five straight contests and six of nine overall, leading to a superb 33.1 percent strikeout rate. The 23-year-old also owns a high 11.8 percent walk rate, but with his strikeout potential, the left-hander is a must-add in most leagues, especially against the Mariners, who have the lowest team batting average against lefties and the fourth-lowest wRC+ against them so far this season.

Chase Dollander a Pitcher Worth Stashing Despite Unknown Timetable
Colorado Rockies right-hander Chase Dollander (elbow) will be shut down from throwing for a few weeks after he landed on the 15-day injured list with a sprained right elbow. Hopefully, rest and rehab can allow him to return to the big-league roster without having to go under the knife, which would keep him out for the rest of the 2026 season and likely half of next year. The 24-year-old may not be able to return until right around the All-Star break in the middle of July, but even then, fantasy managers should consider stashing the young arm in deeper leagues. Dollander, the former ninth overall pick in 2023 out of Tennessee, was showing improvement in his first full year in the big leagues before his elbow injury, going 3-3 with a 3.89 ERA (4.14 FIP) and 1.29 WHIP with 47 strikeouts and 18 walks over 44 innings across 10 appearances (three starts). He was effective primarily in a bulk-relief role following an opener, posting a 24.9% strikeout rate and 9.5% walk rate, which were both improvements after he struggled in his first 21 starts in the big leagues as a rookie in 2024. Dollander is rostered in just 14% of Yahoo leagues right now. Patience will be required.

Jack Wenninger Still a Stash Option After Rough Outing?
New York Mets pitching prospect Jack Wenninger could still be the next pitcher in line for a promotion when the team needs to fill a rotation spot despite turning in his worst outing of the season in his latest start. The Mets' fifth-ranked prospect carried a sterling 1.51 ERA into Sunday's start for Triple-A Syracuse, but yielded six runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out five in 5 1/3 innings pitched. Surprisingly, two of the hits were home runs after the right-hander had allowed just one home run all season in his first eight starts (35 2/3 IP). Still, the 6-foot-4 hurler owns a 2.20 ERA (4.38 FIP), is limiting opponents to a .178 average, and has recorded 44 strikeouts in 41 innings of work, which should be enough to give the organization confidence to call on him when needed. Jonah Tong appears to be getting the nod to fill Clay Holmes' spot in the rotation for now, but if he or Christian Scott falter or someone hits the injured list, Wenninger could be on the way to Queens. For managers looking for pitching help, the former sixth-round draft pick is a worthwhile stash for his ability to limit damage and record a strikeout per inning.

Cole Carrigg a High-End Stash Option with Stolen Base Upside
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Cole Carrigg has been a consistent producer all season at Triple-A Albuquerque, reaching base via hit or walk in 43 of his 47 games played. The Rockies' sixth-ranked prospect's season slash line stands at a robust .358/.424/.551 with five home runs, while his speed has helped him to five triples (second-most in the minors) and 26 steals. That kind of multi-category production should interest fantasy managers, and with just a 14.2 percent strikeout rate, the switch-hitter clearly doesn't appear to be overmatched at that level. A promotion to the big league club could happen in the coming weeks, and with solid contact, power, and above-average speed, the 24-year-old has quickly become a top hitter to stash in most leagues.

Jhostynxon Garcia a Priority Addition with Power Potential?
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia was promoted to the majors last week, and he's an encouraging waiver wire target given his potential to launch home runs. Garcia has yet to homer through 27 MLB at-bats (between 2025 with the Red Sox and 2026 with the Pirates), but he launched 21 homers across 114 minor league games last year, and he had slugged another six this year. Strikeouts are a major concern for the 23-year-old, who owns a 28.6% K% in the majors in 2026. However, as he starts to get more comfortable against MLB pitching, his strikeout rate should go down and his home run rate should go up. There's above-average power potential here, so managers should consider making him a priority addition on the waiver wire. At the moment, he's still available in 98% of fantasy baseball leagues.

Alec Bohm a Waiver-Wire Target Based on his Underlying Metrics?
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm's counting statistics have been underwhelming this year, but his underlying metrics provide reason for optimism. So far, he's slashing .210/.274/.331 with very little power (five home runs) and even less speed (zero steals). He has a wRC+ of 70, which is the worst of his career and his first sub-100 mark since 2022. Bohm has a paltry 3.2% barrel rate, but we're encouraged by his 90.1 mph average exit velocity (64th percentile) and his 36.4% squared-up rate (97th percentile). The quality of contact has been decent, and that could lead to more home runs (or, at the very least, more extra-base hits) going forward. He's also not a major strikeout liability, as his strikeout rate, chase rate, and whiff rate are all 84th percentile or better. We're not saying Bohm is a lock to turn things around, but now that he's rostered in just 31% of leagues, he's a worthwhile stash in deeper formats based on some encouraging underlying data.

Giancarlo Stanton Worth Stashing Amid Injured-List Stint
New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (right calf) is currently on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain, but he's getting ready to return to the active roster within the next week or two. Stanton is a talented power hitter when healthy, and he's worth stashing in fantasy baseball leagues ahead of his impending return. Prior to the injury this year, Stanton was slashing .256/.302/.422 with three home runs, 14 RBI, a 6.3% walk rate, a 30.2% strikeout rate, and 105 wRC+. The power output was down a little, but that could just be attributed to a small sample size. Since landing on the IL, Stanton's roster share across fantasy baseball has fallen to just 27%. He's available in 73% of leagues, making him an intriguing stash in hopes that he can offer a boost to your lineup from June through September.

Jett Williams Remains a Stash Target with Multi-Category Potential
Milwaukee Brewers infield/outfield prospect Jett Williams has hit safely in nine of his last 12 games, going 13-for-45 (.289) over that stretch with three doubles, two triples, and two home runs, upping his season-long slash line to .247/.411/.578. The Brewers' third-ranked prospect also has 11 steals for Triple-A Nashville and is boasting a 14.0 percent walk rate (21.6 percent strikeout rate) through 49 games. The former first-round draft pick could be nearing an MLB debut, and with his skillset, along with positional versatility (eligible at 2B, SS, OF on Yahoo!), the 22-year-old should be considered a top hitter to stash for his multi-category contribution potential.

Christian Scott a Priority Target After Scoreless Outing
New York Mets starting pitcher Christian Scott tossed 5.2 innings of scoreless baseball during his latest start against the Miami Marlins on Sunday. Along the way, he allowed four hits and two walks while striking out five batters. Scott is 0-3 through 15 career starts, but it's not for a lack of quality outings. He owns a 4.09 career ERA, including a 3.20 ERA and a 3.47 FIP this season. Across six starts (25.1 innings) in 2026, he has also amassed 10.66 K/9, 4.97 BB/9, 0.36 HR/9, and a 28.6% ground ball rate. Given how well he has pitched this year, Scott has emerged as a priority target on the waiver wire in fantasy baseball. He ranks #81 among starters in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings, and he is available in more than 90% of leagues.

Guardians Promote Pitching Prospect Will Dion to Big Leagues
Cleveland Guardians left-handed pitching prospect Will Dion has been promoted to the major leagues, according to Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. This is Dion's first promotion to the majors, so his next big-league appearance will be his MLB debut. The southpaw has been in Triple-A ever since the start of the 2024 season, so this is a hard-earned promotion. He owned a 4.50 ERA through his first 15 minor league appearances this year, but his 1.83 FIP suggests he experienced bad batted-ball luck and is due for some favorable regression. He also posted 12.46 K/9, 1.73 BB/9, and 0.35 HR/9 at Triple-A. The only really concerning underlying metric for Dion is his 25.8% ground ball rate this year. He hasn't been giving up home runs, but this ground ball rate indicates that hitters are still finding ways to produce loud contact (fly balls and line drives) against him. Nevertheless, we're encouraged by his results this year, and he should fill a key bullpen role for the Guardians, who demoted Logan Allen to Triple-A on Tuesday.
