Let's attempt to build the all-time Boston Red Sox lineup. Let's dive in!Featured Promo: Save 50% the regular price with […]

Baltimore Orioles infielder Coby Mayo has fallen into a cold spell at the plate recently. Over the last week, Mayo is 3-for-21 at the plate, but fantasy managers shouldn't run away. Over the last 10 games, Mayo has smacked four of his nine home runs on the season. The 24-year-old is struggling right now, but […]

Washington Nationals corner infield prospect Yohandy Morales continues to produce at Triple-A Rochester, drawing a walk, stealing a base, and scoring a run in his latest contest despite going 0-for-3 at the plate.

After opening 2026 in a bench role, Cincinnati Reds first baseman Nathaniel Lowe has emerged as a near-everyday player and a key piece of his team's lineup. Across 166 plate appearances on the year, Lowe is hitting .252/.337/.497 with nine home runs, 25 RBI, and 16 runs scored. The 30-year-old's .497 slugging percentage is the […]

As Forrest Gump almost certainly would have said if he played fantasy baseball, prospects are like a box of chocolates; you never know which one is about to become a league winner. While that may be true, a prospect stepping into a solidified starting role is usually worth the gamble. This week, we’ll highlight three […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! I'm jealous I didn't get to take advantage of the series in Las Vegas this week, talk about a ton of home runs! It'll be interesting to see if we get a similar output in a couple of years, when the new stadium is finished. For now, though, we will just have […]

The Chicago Cubs have had some of the greatest players in the game's history wear their jersey. While some of these players were part of their 2016 World Series roster. Some have already been inducted into the Hall of Fame and are regarded as among the greatest players in sports history. Let's attempt to build […]

Washington Nationals first base prospect Abimelec Ortiz continues to enjoy great success at the top level of the minor leagues and is making a strong case to join the Nationals later this month. Over his last 15 games at Triple-A Rochester, the slugging first baseman has carried an elite .333/.394/.794 line with a 1.188 OPS. […]

St. Louis Cardinals infield prospect Blaze Jordan has put together a strong start to the Triple-A regular season and has made a strong case to earn the call to the majors before the end of the first half. Jordan was initially selected in the third round of the 2020 MLB Draft by the Boston Red […]

Texas Rangers first baseman Jake Burger got off to a rough start to June, going hitless in his first 19 plate appearances over five games with a run scored, two walks, and six strikeouts. He closed out May with six hits in 11 at-bats with three doubles and an RBI in three games, though, and […]

New York Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt opened the 2026 season in a bench role and saw little playing time early on, logging just 33 plate appearances through the end of April. However, injuries to Yankees sluggers Giancarlo Stanton (calf) and Aaron Judge (rib) have opened up an opportunity for the veteran to emerge as […]

Across 213 plate appearances in 2026, San Diego Padres first baseman/outfielder Gavin Sheets is hitting .223/.315/.441 with 10 home runs, 26 RBI, 26 runs scored, and three stolen bases. The lefty-swinger is limited to a big-side platoon role, as he's hit .143 in 38 plate appearances against left-handed pitching. Still, Sheets' 9.5% barrel rate and […]

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 […]

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson was seeing the ball well in the 6-5 walk-off loss in Chicago on Tuesday night to the White Sox, going 2-for-4 at the plate with two home runs, three RBI, and a walk to raise his average to .271 on the year and his OPS to .903. Both of […]

Through the early going of the 2026 fantasy baseball season, managers have seen hitters emerge as early season breakouts. It can be a tough calculus for us; we prepare all winter for draft season, trust our process, and then players (who are human beings above all else) fail. When they do, we are forced to […]

It was a slower week on the prospect front last week, with only a couple of notable prospect promotions. Edwin Arroyo finally got the call to Cincinnati after excelling in Triple-A, and LuJames Groover got the call in Arizona. We also saw Spencer Jones recalled after Aaron Judge landed on the IL. It looks like […]
