Charlie Condon Eyes 2027 Debut After 27-Homer Campaign
Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon capped off a strong 2026 season by smacking a home run in his final game of the year. The Rockies' third-ranked prospect finished with 27 long balls in 130 games played, while batting .273 with a stellar .390 on-base percentage thanks to a 13.2 percent walk rate. The former third-overall draft pick continued to strike out at a high rate of 25.1 percent, though that isn't that out of the ordinary for a guy who has as much power as he does. The 6-foot-5 slugger surprisingly never got the call to the majors this year despite a few very hot stretches of production, but that doesn't mean he won't be in the mix for a roster spot in 2027. The 23-year-old has a shot to make the team out of camp next year, and even if he doesn't, expect him to be one of the first high-profile prospect names called up in 2027. The strikeouts could make him a batting-average risk for fantasy, but the pop he possesses will play well at Coors Field, and the right-handed hitter is still a solid dynasty investment.

Cole Carrigg a Priority Streamer Entering Final Week of 2026
Across 348 plate appearances since making his MLB debut in early June, Colorado Rockies outfielder/shortstop Cole Carrigg is hitting .271/.335/.461 with 10 home runs, 48 RBI, 46 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases. The 24-year-old has been a balanced producer for fantasy managers for most of the second half of the season. However, he's been particularly hot in recent weeks. Across 77 plate appearances in September, Carrigg is hitting .307 with four home runs, 12 RBI, eight runs scored, and three stolen bases. Carrigg also has a favorable schedule to end the year, with three games at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks followed by three games in Chicago against the White Sox. In leagues where he remains available on the waiver wire, Carrigg profiles as an outfield streamer for fantasy managers to target.

Willi Castro Won't Return This Year
Colorado Rockies utility man Willi Castro (heel, knee) will not return this season, he announced on Wednesday. Castro is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left heel and also soreness in his right knee, and he was placed on the 10-day injured list back on Sept. 5. The Rockies have nothing left to play for this season, so Castro has elected to get an early start on his rehab for the offseason. The 29-year-old Puerto Rican switch-hitter will finish his first season in Denver with a .260/.331/.417 slash line, a .748 OPS, 15 home runs, 56 RBI, 65 runs scored, and 10 stolen bases across 120 games played and 477 plate appearances in his eighth year in the majors. Castro's 15 long balls are a new career high. He should be healed in plenty of time before spring training in 2027, assuming there is no lockout, and will return to the Rockies as a versatile defender with a modest power/speed profile. The best thing about Castro in fantasy is that he is eligible at first base, second base, third base, shortstop, and the outfield.

Willi Castro is Dealing with Foot Injury
Colorado Rockies infielder/outfielder Willi Castro (foot) was held out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Castro was left out of the lineup for a third straight game on Friday due to a plantar fasciitis issue, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports. It's unclear right now if Castro will require a stint on the Injured List because of this injury. The Rockies aren't playing for anything at this point, so it wouldn't be a terrible idea for them to get a look at their younger players. Fantasy managers should have another update on Castro in the coming days.

Charlie Condon Has Seen his Bat Cool Off Over the Past Month
Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has gone nearly a month without hitting a home run at Triple-A Albuquerque. Condon, a 23-year-old out of Georgia, hit his last home run on August 6, but still does have 22 homers and 79 RBI this season for Albuquerque, with a .269 batting average and 95 runs scored. It has been a bit of a struggle at the plate recently for Condon, who hit just .221 in August with two homers and 14 RBI after a strong start to the season. The right-handed hitter is the No. 3 prospect in the Colorado system with a 55-grade hit tool and 55-grade power. Condon was passed over for a September call-up, maybe in part due to his recent struggles, but he still is a call-up candidate this year and offers high fantasy upside because of his strong tools as a hitter in a good hitting environment.

Cole Carrigg Remains a Worthy Speed Target on the Waiver Wire
Across 280 plate appearances since making his MLB debut in early June, Colorado Rockies outfielder/shortstop Cole Carrigg is hitting .262/.341/.439 with six home runs, 37 RBI, 39 runs scored, and eight stolen bases. The 24-year-old's power upside is limited, as he's logged subpar barrel (5.3%) and hard-hit (34.0%) rates. However, Carrigg has emerged as Colorado's near-everyday center fielder and often hits in a premium spot in the team's lineup. Carrigg was also a high-end base stealer in the minor leagues, swiping 46 bags across 123 games at Double-A in 2025. While Carrigg has not been quite as aggressive early in his big-league career, six of his eight stolen bases this year have come since the All-Star break. Between his speed upside and his hitter-friendly home environment in Colorado, Carrigg carries clear waiver wire appeal.

Charlie Condon Remains a Worthy Power Bat to Stash
Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon had a productive week last week at Triple-A Albuquerque, going 7-for-19 (.368) with a pair of doubles, four RBI, six runs scored, and a 4:3 BB:K during a five-game hit streak. The Rockies' third-ranked prospect is slashing a solid .271/.390/.506 with 22 home runs this season for the Isotopes, but to date, has yet to earn a call-up to the majors. Though his strikeout rate is a bit on the high side at 24.7 percent (40th percentile), the former first-rounder doesn't chase much (19.6 percent, 91st percentile), which helps him draw walks at a 12.9 percent clip (70th percentile), which is something that should translate to the big leagues. But with a healthy, productive big-league outfield and corner infielders, it seems there has simply been no room for him, especially given that the 23-year-old is not on the 40-man roster. Still, the 6-foot-4 slugger possesses big power, and the team likely wants to see how he handles major league pitching before next season, so in anticipation of an eventual call-up, he remains one of the top stash options for managers looking for some power production down the stretch.

Charlie Condon Still a Stash Candidate Despite August Struggles at Triple-A
Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has slowed down in the month of August at Triple-A Albuquerque, hitting just .218 with two homers and 14 RBI. He has shown better signs with four RBI in his last three games, but he is well off the pace he set earlier this season. At Albuquerque this season, Condon has 22 homers and 79 RBI while hitting .272 with 93 runs scored. The right-handed hitter is the No. 3 prospect in the Rockies' organization with a 55-grade hit tool and 55-grade power. Despite his struggles, Condon is still worth a look in redraft leagues. The former third overall draft pick in 2024 has a very high upside and can still aid fantasy managers across the board in the hitting categories. The Rockies could still add Condon to the big-league roster when rosters expand, and he would be a big help in fantasy leagues.

Charlie Condon Falling Down Stash Rankings as MLB Debut Looks Unlikely
Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has endured a skid at the Triple-A level and has seen his value as a stash option continue to fall. Over his last 22 games at the top club in the Colorado system, the former Georgia standout has posted a rough .200/.311/.322 slash line with three doubles, one triple and just two long balls. However, prior to this stretch, Condon carried a much-higher .287/.406/.561 line with 16 doubles, six triples, and an impressive 20 long balls over his first 85 games of the campaign. In addition, the Rockies recently turned to fellow outfield prospect Zac Veen, making Condon's path to the majors even more unlikely this season. While another injury could open the door, for now Condon is seeing his value as a shallow-league stash option drop heading into Week 22 of the season. If he is unable to snap out of this skid, Condon will likely not reach the majors until the 2027 season.

Charlie Condon Cooling Off Lately at Triple-A
Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has cooled off significantly at Triple-A Albuquerque over the past month. In August, the 23-year-old is hitting just .190 with two homers and nine RBI. Condon was passed up for promotion as teammate Zac Veen joined the Rockies, and Condon has struggled since then. It's a major downturn this month for Condon, who has 22 homers and 74 RBI this season at Albuquerque in 105 games while hitting .270. Condon is the No. 3 prospect for the Rockies and has a 55-grade hit tool with 55-grade power. The Georgia product could still please fantasy managers if given a call-up to the Rockies and Coors Field. If he joins Veen in Colorado, Condon could still be very productive despite his recent struggles.

Charlie Condon a Top Stash for Power Despite Recent Slowdown
Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has cooled off at Triple-A Albuquerque, going 1-for-17 (.059) over his last five games with an ugly 42.9 percent strikeout rate during that time. Even so, the Rockies' second-ranked prospect is having a strong season for the Isotopes, hitting .271 with a .909 OPS, 22 home runs, and seven steals in 102 games. The organization is certainly taking its time awarding the former third-overall draft pick an MLB debut, though the emergence of other players like Cole Carrigg and Zac Veen has made for a crowded talent pool. Nevertheless, expect the 6-foot-5 slugger to make a late-season debut in the coming weeks, and it could be just in time for the fantasy stretch run. The elevated strikeout rate may limit his ability to hit for average in the majors, but his power potential in the thin air of Coors Field will be a sight to see, and the 23-year-old should be considered one of the top stashes in redraft leagues for home runs.

Zac Veen Offers Power/Speed Upside on the Waiver Wire
Colorado Rockies outfielder Zac Veen struggled after making his MLB debut in 2025, hitting .118 with a 37.8% strikeout rate across a small sample size of 37 plate appearances. However, Veen had a monster year after returning to Triple-A this season, hitting .327/.402/.635 with 24 home runs, 87 RBI, 82 runs scored, and 18 stolen bases across 445 plate appearances. The 24-year-old's minor league production led to a big-league promotion on August 12, and he's gotten off to a hot start with two home runs in his first 15 trips to the plate. The lefty-swinging Veen has been deployed in a big-side platoon role with Colorado so far, which limits his playing time and fantasy upside. Veen has also struggled with swing-and-miss at different points throughout his pro career, so he may log an elevated strikeout rate. Still, Veen offers an intriguing blend of power and speed for fantasy managers on the waiver wire, and his hitter-friendly home park at Coors Field should help cover some of his weaknesses at the plate.

Charlie Condon Still Waiting for MLB Call-Up
Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon will have to wait longer for his MLB debut after the Rockies chose to promote his Triple-A Albuquerque teammate Zac Veen. But Condon is no less worthy of a promotion after a dominant season at Albuquerque with 22 homers and 73 RBI with 85 runs scored while hitting .276. Condon is ranked No. 3 overall in the Rockies system and is graded out with a 55-grade hit tool and 55-grade power. The 23-year-old is a former No. 3 pick in the 2024 MLB Draft out of Georgia and looks very much ready to take on major-league pitching. Condon could soon join Veen on the Rockies' big-league roster. He is still a must-stash and could be a difference-maker down the stretch for fantasy managers in redraft leagues.

Rockies Outfield Prospect Zac Veen Returning to the Majors
The Colorado Rockies are recalling outfield prospect Zac Veen from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday and have designated infielder Edouard Julien for assignment in a corresponding move, according to Kyle Newman of The Denver Post. It will be Veen's first action in the big leagues since he struggled in 2025 in his MLB debut in 12 games played, when he went 4-for-34 (.118) with a homer, two RBI, two walks, and 14 strikeouts. The team's No. 7 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, has earned a promotion back to the majors in 2026 by hitting .327/.402/.635 with a 1.037 OPS, 24 home runs, 87 RBI, 18 stolen bases, and 82 runs scored across 100 games and 445 plate appearances with the Isotopes. The 6-foot-3, 243-pounder bulked up in the offseason and cleaned up his act from a maturity standpoint, so he appears much better positioned to have sustained success for the Rockies to close out the season. Veen went 5-for-5 with three home runs, a double, and a triple over the weekend against Triple-A Sugar Land, and fantasy managers who need power and speed should be looking to add him off the waiver wire, even in mixed leagues.

Zac Veen Cruising at Triple-A, Remains a High-End Stash
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen is one of the hottest hitters in the minors right now, and he may force his way to Colorado in the not-too-distant future. The Rockies' seventh-ranked prospect has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, going 24-for-52 (.462) with six doubles, two triples, and eight home runs during that time, which includes a three-homer game. For the season, the former ninth-overall draft pick is hitting .327 with the highest SLG (.635) and OPS (1.037) at Triple-A among qualified hitters. The 6-foot-3 slugger already made a brief debut in 2025, but could be back with the Rockies soon. There isn't a current path to playing time, but being on the 40-man roster and his robust productivity should give him the edge over other options available for a call-up (i.e., Charlie Condon). As hot as he is and with enough contact, power, and speed that would make him fantasy relevant, the 24-year-old is one of the better higher-end stashes for the fantasy stretch run.
