Moises Ballesteros' Hot Bat Earning Waiver Wire Consideration
Chicago Cubs catcher/designated hitter Moises Ballesteros is impressing in the early part of 2026, showing why his hit tool was so highly regarded before joining the big leagues. The Cubs' former top prospect has hit safely in eight of his last 10 games, with five multi-hit performances mixed in there. It has raised the left-handed slugger's season-long slash line to .364/.396/.591 with three home runs, a .429 wOBA, and a 174 wRC+. Unfortunately, the 5-foot-8 Venezuelan continues to get pulled against left-handed pitching, logging just three plate appearances against southpaws in 2026, which is going to dampen his appeal in season-long leagues and more so in daily formats. Nevertheless, he's 16-for-41 (.390) against righties, so if he can earn more at-bats with his exceptional hitting, the 22-year-old could see an increase in categorical productivity. He may not be a must-add yet, but Ballesteros is certainly a must-watch in the event he gains more at-bats.

Reid Detmers a Worthy Waiver Wire Add with Strikeout Upside
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers has had a promising yet inconsistent start to the season, allowing a combined eight runs in two starts but just one earned run combined in the other two starts, including a nine-strikeout performance against the Yankees in his latest turn through the rotation. It has produced an acceptable 3.57 ERA (3.40 xFIP) with a 1.06 WHIP and a strong 21.3 percent K-BB%. A solid ERA and WHIP with strikeout upside is exactly what fantasy managers were hoping for after the southpaw finished last season with a 2.19 ERA (2.77 SIERA), 1.11 WHIP, and a 23.9 percent K-BB% from May 9 through the end of the campaign (49 appearances, 49 1/3 innings pitched). Those innings were in relief, though, so it was interesting to see if it would carry over to his role as a starter this season, and it appears to have continued. As a starter back in 2022, the former first-rounder threw a no-hitter, so the talent has always been there; he just needed to find it again. The 26-year-old will have his work cut out for him in his next start, a home date with Toronto on Monday, a team that owns the eighth-best batting average against lefties this year (.262). But for interested season-long managers, he's still available in nearly half of Yahoo! leagues.

Shane McClanahan Unable to Regain Pre-Injury Form
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan lasted just 4 1/3 innings in his latest start on Sunday, allowing four earned runs on eight hits while striking out five batters in a 6-3 loss to the Pirates. On the bright side, the lefty threw 72 percent of his pitches for strikes and did not walk a batter, something that plagued him in his first three starts, where he walked 11 hitters. In all, the 28-year-old has posted a 5.00 ERA (4.48 xFIP), 1.33 WHIP, and an 8.8 percent K-BB%. It's a far cry from the 3.02 ERA (3.15 xFIP), 1.10 WHIP, and 20.9 percent K-BB% that he recorded in 74 starts from 2021 to 2023. The former 31st-overall draft pick dealt with Tommy John surgery that disrupted his 2023 season and caused him to miss all of 2024, then encountered a setback with a nerve issue that completely derailed 2025, so there could still be more rust to knock off. However, a couple more subpar starts and he may be headed to the cut list for fantasy. The 6-foot-3 hurler will get Minnesota at home his next time out, a team that is top 12 in runs scored per game (5.09), wOBA versus LHP (.327), and wRC+ versus LHP (107).

Is Lucas Erceg's Closer Seat Getting Warm After Blown Save?
Kansas City Royals closer Lucas Erceg had converted five straight save chances before his last appearance on Thursday this past week, when he allowed three earned runs on three hits and one walk, blowing the save opportunity and taking the loss to the Tigers. Before that, the right-hander had not allowed a run in six of seven appearances, but after Thursday's collapse, his ERA now stands at 6.14 with a 1.50 WHIP and a 6.7 percent K-BB%. The 30-year-old has pitched well for the Royals over the last two years, but saw a significant drop-off in strikeout rate between 2024 and 2025, from 28.5 percent to 19.3 percent. It has fallen even more this season, currently standing at 16.7 percent. Fantasy managers won't argue with collecting five saves so far, but with diminishing strikeouts and regular closer Carlos Estevez (foot) beginning a rehab assignment this week, Erceg's handle on the role is becoming somewhat tenuous.

Tyler Reddick Earns His Fifth Win of the 2026 Season at Kansas
Tyler Reddick of 23XI Racing won the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway. Reddick started the race from first and was one of the top contenders. In the first stage, Reddick lost the lead to Denny Hamlin after four laps and then eventually lost second place to Kyle Larson. Reddick ended the first stage in third and scored eight stage points. In the second stage, Reddick made it up to second behind Larson, who took the lead from Hamlin, but Hamlin then took second back. Reddick then finished the stage in third, earning eight more stage points. The final stage saw Reddick compete with Hamlin and Christopher Bell throughout the stage, especially as Reddick chased both drivers down for the lead. In the closing laps, Reddick exchanged the lead with Hamlin until a caution on lap 266 for Cody Ware spinning. This led to an overtime restart where Reddick lost a few positions after getting moved off track, but regained them all to chase down Larson on the final lap. Reddick passed Larson for his fifth win of the year in the final two corners. With his second Kansas victory, Reddick becomes the first driver to win five of the first nine races in a Cup season since 1987, when Dale Earnhardt accomplished the feat. The driver of the No. 45 Toyota also extends his lead in the regular-season points standings to 105 points ahead of Hamlin.

Kyle Larson Finishes as the Runner-Up at Kansas
Kyle Larson of Hendrick Motorsports nearly ended his 32-race winless streak at Kansas Speedway in the AdventHealth 400, but fell one spot short of victory. Larson started the race from fourth and quickly established himself as one of the top contenders. Although he lost a position to Carson Hocevar early, Larson regained it and climbed up to second, where he also placed at the end of the first stage. In the second stage, Larson took over the lead from Denny Hamlin and dominated the second stage without much of a challenge, winning it and earning 10 more stage points. The No. 5 Chevrolet driver lost positions in the stage break through pit road, and on the ensuing restart, fell out of the top five. Through green flag pit stops midway through the final stage, Larson returned to the top five and made it up to third before the final caution of the race on lap 266 gave Larson another chance at the win. On the final restart, Larson made a move to go three-wide on Hamlin and Tyler Reddick and took the lead from both of them. Larson led on the white flag lap, but Reddick caught back up to him and passed him through the final two corners for the win, leaving Larson with a runner-up finish at Kansas. After Kansas, Larson is now fifth in the regular-season standings with his third top-5 of the season.

Chase Briscoe Rallies for A New Career-Best Finish at Kansas
Chase Briscoe finished in third place in the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway. Briscoe began the race from fifth place and ran inside the top five throughout most of the stage until green flag pit stops midway through the first stage. From there, he ended up losing positions and finished the first stage in seventh, collecting four stage points. In the second stage, Briscoe fell away from the top 10 and finished the stage in 11th, missing out on further stage points. In the final stage, Briscoe returned to the top 10 and steadily ran there until the final caution on lap 266, sending the race into overtime. Unlike most of the field who pitted with two tires on the final pit stop, Briscoe pitted with four tires and restarted 10th. On the final restart, Briscoe took advantage of the extra grip and went from 10th to third by the checkered flag, solidifying a new career-best finish as well as his third top-5 in his Cup career at Kansas. With this finish, Briscoe is now 15th in the regular season standings and in the chase field.

Denny Hamlin Leads the Most Laps at Kansas, But Misses out on Victory
Denny Hamlin was the most dominant driver of the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway on Sunday, leading 131 total laps, but he was unable to score the victory late in the race. Hamlin began the race from second and quickly took the lead after four laps from Tyler Reddick. He went on to dominate the rest of the first stage and win it. In the second stage, Hamlin lost the lead to Kyle Larson and other positions to Chase Elliott and Reddick, but eventually regained them as the stage progressed by passing them on track. Hamlin couldn't overtake Larson, though, in the second stage, and he ended it in second, gaining nine further stage points. In the final stage, Denny Hamlin ran second behind Christopher Bell before cycling back to the lead through green flag pit stops. He was set to win the race until Cody Ware spun his car before Hamlin caught the white flag, forcing one more pit stop and restart. Although Hamlin tried to keep the lead, Larson got to the side of Hamlin and moved him up the track, causing Hamlin to fall out of contention for the win. The No. 11 Toyota driver went back up and finished in fourth place, earning another top-5 finish at Kansas. Hamlin now sits second in the regular-season standings, 105 points behind Reddick.

Christopher Bell Falls out of Contention for Kansas Victory on Final Restart
Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell finished 20th despite being one of the main contenders for the victory in Sunday's AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway. Bell began the race from 11th, but moved up through the field as the first stage progressed. He ended the first stage in fifth, scoring six stage points. The second stage saw Bell continue to run inside the top five through most of the stage without incident. Bell ended the second stage in fifth and earned six more stage points. Between the second and final stage, Bell went to pit road and gained positions, restarting the final stage in second. From there, Bell took the lead from his teammate Denny Hamlin and led 47 laps before heading to pit road. Bell stayed out on track longer than Hamlin and Tyler Reddick, and lost the lead after his pit stop while Hamlin and Reddick passed Bell with fresher tires. Bell ran inside the top five from there until the final restart when he competed for the win, but got into the wall after contact with Reddick, causing the car to lose speed, spin out on pit road, and fall back to his eventual finishing position of 20th. This crash ended a streak of five consecutive Kansas races with a top-10 finish, and the No. 20 Toyota driver is now 10th in the regular season standings after nine races.

Cole Ragans Struggles Again on Sunday, Quickly Losing Fantasy Value
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Cole Ragans struggled mightily in Sunday's 7-0 loss to the Yankees, allowing seven earned runs while serving up three home runs for the second time this season and also walking a career-high eight batters in just 4 1/3 innings pitched. The southpaw managed to strike out six batters as well, but threw only 51 percent of his pitches for strikes (49 of 97). It has been a rough start to the season for the 28-year-old, now the owner of a 6.00 ERA (5.30 xFIP), 1.67 WHIP, and a lowly 4.3 percent K-BB%. The former All-Star dealt with injuries in 2025 that limited him to just 13 starts, including a rotator cuff injury that sidelined him for three months. Hopefully it is not related, but his fastball velocity is down almost a full mile per hour this season, and he's seen a significant drop-off in both chase and whiff rates (from 68th and 95th percentile, respectively, to 17th and 58th percentile). The 6-foot-4 hurler will be hard to trust his next time out against a much-improved Angels offense that is top 10 in runs per game (5.0), wOBA versus LHP (.341), and wRC+ (116) versus LHP. With Ragans' potential, he may not be a drop yet, but managers could justify sitting him until the lefty rights the ship.

Payton Tolle a Top Name to Stash Following Recent Injury
Boston Red Sox pitching prospect Payton Tolle potentially became even more fantasy relevant after Boston starter Sonny Gray (hamstring) was removed from his outing on Monday against the Tigers in the third inning with what is being described as right hamstring tightness. Tolle hasn't pitched for Triple-A Worcester since April 12, so he could be fresh and is already on the 40-man roster. Boston's top-ranked prospect debuted with the club in August last year and was fairly solid outside of one poor outing, racking up 19 strikeouts in 16 1/3 innings pitched (IP) both as a starter and a reliever. The southpaw had a hiccup in his first outing at Triple-A this year, but has shone over his last two turns, allowing just one earned run on seven hits and two walks while striking out 13 batters in 11 IP. The 23-year-old's strikeout upside already made him a worthy stash candidate in most formats, but with the likelihood of a call-up now much higher, the time is now to grab him off the waiver wire.

K.C. Concepcion a Top-Five Rookie Wideout for Dynasty Managers?
Texas A&M wide receiver K.C. Concepcion is considered to be one of the better prospects at his position in the 2026 draft class and has a chance to hear his name called as early as the end of the first round later this week. Across 13 games for the Aggies in 2025, the 21-year-old recorded 61 receptions for 919 yards and nine touchdowns. Concepcion is known as an elusive route-runner in the short and intermediate areas of the field who is difficult to tackle in open space. However, he's undersized at 5'11" and 196 lbs., which leads to some questions about his ability to produce at the catch point in the NFL. Still, Concepcion's strengths make him an intriguing dynasty prospect. Depending on where he ends up being drafted, Concepcion could make an immediate impact in the NFL and offers some long-term upside as well. RotoBaller currently ranks Concepcion as the fifth-best wide receiver in the first-year player pool.

Eli Stowers Offers Long-Term Dynasty Upside
Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers is considered one of the top tight ends in the 2026 draft class and should come off the board at some point on Day 2 of the upcoming 2026 draft. Across 12 games for the Commodores in 2025, the 23-year-old recorded 62 receptions for 769 yards and four touchdowns. With a 45.5" vertical jump, Stowers also profiles as an elite athlete at the tight end position. His blocking ability is considered a major weak point in his game, which could be a reason why he might slip down the draft board. Stowers might also struggle to earn a true lead tight end role in the NFL right away without rapid improvement as a blocker. Still, he offers clear upside due to his athleticism and has already shown the ability to produce as a receiver. Stowers currently profiles as the second-best dynasty tight end in first-year player pools, behind only Kenyon Sadiq.

Mike Malott Scores Third-Round TKO Win
Mike Malott extended his win streak by defeating former title challenger Gilbert Burns in the main event of UFC Winnipeg on Saturday. Malott's takedown defense was on point in this fight as he was able to defend seven of Burns' takedown attempts. Both fighters had their moments, but the fight started to change drastically when Malott landed a big right hand that dropped Burns. Burns managed to get up but was then quickly knocked down again, and the fight was stopped by the referee. In 12:08 of action, Malott landed 56 significant strikes. With the win, Malott improved to 14-2-1 and is now 7-1 in the UFC.

Sonny Gray Leaves Monday's Start Early With Hamstring Tightness
Boston Red Sox right-hander Sonny Gray (hamstring) only made it through 2 2/3 innings on Monday at Fenway Park against the visiting Detroit Tigers due to right-hamstring tightness, according to Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald. In his 2 2/3 innings of work, Gray allowed an earned run on three hits while walking one and striking out two. He threw 27 of his 40 pitches for strikes. For now, fantasy managers should consider Gray questionable to make his next scheduled start this weekend against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles. Coming into his start on Monday, Gray had gone 2-1 with a 4.43 ERA (4.70 FIP) and 1.28 WHIP with 11 strikeouts and four walks in 20 1/3 innings pitched over his first four starts in his first season in Beantown. Fantasy managers looking for a high-upside starting arm might want to grab Payton Tolle off the waiver wire, as he could be the BoSox's first choice to replace Gray in the rotation if he's forced to the 15-day injured list.

Alec Pierce Expected to Be Ready for Training Camp After Ankle Surgery
Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard said that wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle) underwent ankle surgery, per ESPN's Stephen Holder. Pierce reportedly played through pain in the ankle last season. The surgery will keep him from participating in OTAs, but Pierce should be ready to go for training camp. The 25-year-old had the best year of his career in 2025, recording 47 receptions for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns on 84 targets across 15 games. The Colts rewarded Pierce earlier this offseason with a four-year, $114 million extension. The team also traded away veteran wideout Michael Pittman Jr., which could mean Pierce will be expected to expand his route tree beyond his usual downfield role. While it sounds as though Pierce should have a normal training camp, this ankle ailment will be something for fantasy managers to monitor heading into 2026.

Jordyn Tyson Rising Up Rookie Draft Boards
Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) has been a riser late in NFL Draft season, with some experts now projecting that he will come off the board somewhere in the middle of the first round later this week. The 21-year-old recorded 61 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns across nine games for the Sun Devils in 2025. Tyson missed time with a hamstring injury, and hamstring issues have bothered him throughout the pre-draft process as well. Tyson also suffered three torn ligaments in his knee in 2022, which caused him to miss the majority of his sophomore season at Arizona State. Still, despite the injury concerns, Tyson is thought of as one of the top wide receivers in the 2026 draft class. He showed off what he can do in a fully healthy campaign in 2024, when he recorded 75 receptions for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns across 12 games. In dynasty formats, Tyson profiles as the third-best wide receiver in first-year player pools behind only Makai Lemon and Carnell Tate.

Red Sox Not Concerned About Patrick Sandoval
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that left-hander Patrick Sandoval (biceps) is unlikely to have testing done on a sore left biceps muscle, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Instead, the Red Sox are hoping that a couple of days of rest will do the trick. The organization doesn't seem to be very concerned about his setback. Sandoval was scheduled to make his third minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, but he was pulled off his rehab assignment due to biceps tightness after his previous outing. The 29-year-old southpaw is working his way back from an internal-brace procedure that he had on his left elbow in June of 2024. He did not pitch at all for the BoSox in 2025 and went 2-8 with a 5.08 ERA (3.87 FIP), 1.51 WHIP, and 81:35 K:BB in 79 2/3 innings pitched over 16 starts in 2024 with the Los Angeles Angels before being shut down with elbow issues. Sandoval won't be ready for his Boston debut until sometime in May, and even when he's ready, there may not be an open spot in the team's starting rotation for him.

Twins Placing Mick Abel on Injured List With Elbow Inflammation
The Minnesota Twins are placing right-hander Mick Abel (elbow) on the 15-day injured list on Monday with right-elbow inflammation, according to Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. It's a tough break for the 24-year-old former 15th overall pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2020 after he struck out 10 over seven innings while allowing zero runs in a win against the Boston Red Sox early last week. Abel will now miss at least the next two weeks after going 1-2 with a 3.98 ERA and 1.57 WHIP with 23 strikeouts and 10 walks in 20 1/3 innings over his first four appearances (three starts) this year in his first full season with the Twins. It didn't start great for Abel in 2026, but he's bounced back and has struck out 16 without allowing a run in 13 innings over his last two starts. He will not be available for his next scheduled start against a floundering New York Mets team, but fantasy managers who have him rostered should be looking to stash him while he recovers from his elbow injury.

Kayshon Boutte Emerging as a Trade Candidate
New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is a "name that has come up in trade talks," per Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports. Boutte was a productive downfield threat for the Patriots in 2025, recording 33 receptions for 551 yards and six touchdowns on 46 targets across 14 games. However, New England signed former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs in free agency, and Schultz characterizes a potential trade for current Philadelphia Eagles wideout A.J. Brown as "eventual." As a result, Boutte could be the off man out in New England as he heads into the final year of his rookie contract. Particularly if the Patriots do end up acquiring Brown, a change of scenery would likely be the best-case scenario for Boutte's fantasy value.

Robert Garcia Undergoes MRI on Sore Shoulder
Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker confirmed on Sunday that left-handed reliever Robert Garcia (shoulder) underwent an MRI exam on his sore left shoulder, which kept him out last Thursday, according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. The Rangers are optimistic that Garcia doesn't have any significant structural damage in his shoulder, but he's still likely to require an anti-inflammatory injection on Monday when the team returns home. Grant writes that in a best-case scenario, Garcia probably won't be available before Wednesday, meaning the Rangers would be without him for a minimum of five days. The Rangers are short-handed in their bullpen early on this year. With Garcia unlikely to be ready to pitch until the middle of this week, Peyton Gray, Patrick Murphy, and Josh Sborz are all options to join Texas' bullpen for more depth. Through his first eight innings of relief for Texas so far in 2026, Garcia has allowed five runs (three earned) on five hits while walking seven and striking out six. In his first year with the Rangers in 2025, Garcia secured the first nine saves of his MLB career.

Kenyon Sadiq Profiles as a High-Upside Dynasty Tight End
University of Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq is widely expected to be selected in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft later this week. Across 14 games with the Ducks in 2025, Sadiq hauled in 51 receptions for 560 yards and eight touchdowns. While Sadiq's numbers don't necessarily leap off the page, the 21-year-old showcased his elite athleticism at the 2026 scouting combine by running the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds and recording a 43.5" vertical jump. Dynasty managers may want to temper expectations for Sadiq in his first NFL season. However, Sadiq's long-term upside is tremendous, which allows him to profile as the clear top tight end in this season's first-year player pool.

Is Charlie Condon Nearing his MLB Debut?
Colorado Rockies first base prospect Charlie Condon is not slowing down at Triple-A and continues to make a strong case to join the MLB roster in the near future. While he was given an opportunity to win a starting job out of camp, the Rockies opted to send him to Triple-A to further his development. However, throughout his first taste of the top level of the Rockies system, Condon has looked very impressive and has proven he is more than ready to face MLB pitching. Through his first 15 games with Albuquerque, the former Georgia standout has posted a .322/.452/.559 line with two doubles, four home runs, two stolen bases, and a strong 13:12 K:BB. Additionally, following a hot start to the season, current starting first baseman, TJ Rumfield, has gone just 2-for-24 over his last six games. As a result, Condon should be viewed as a priority stash option in all leagues in Week 4.

Max Clark Continues to Climb Stash Rankings
Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark continues to perform at an elite level at Triple-A and is quickly approaching his MLB debut. Through his first 19 games at the top level of the minor leagues, Clark has posted a .351/.416/.519 slash line with eight doubles, one triple, one home run, six stolen bases, and a 10:10 K:BB. Last summer, Clark spent most of his time with High-A before joining Double-A in the second half. Across both levels (111 games), the former third overall selection looked just as sharp, carrying a .271/.403/.432 line with an .835 OPS, 14 home runs, and 19 stolen bases. While the Detroit outfield is crowded at the moment, following the promotion of Wenceel Perez, Clark's current trajectory could push the team's hand. For now, he is a top stash option in 12+ team, five-outfielder leagues.
