Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper (glute) hasn't played in a game since June 30 after dealing with hand and glute injuries, but played well enough in the first half to earn a nomination to the All-Star Futures Game anyway. The Twins' second-ranked prospect slashed .272/.376/.492 with 14 home runs and 15 steals through 63 […]

New York Yankees shortstop prospect George Lombard Jr. (finger) began a rehab assignment on Monday with the team's Florida Complex League affiliate and quickly made his presence felt. The Yankees' top-ranked prospect garnered three plate appearances, drawing a walk in one at-bat and homering in another. He also attempted a stolen base, and although he […]

Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner limped into the All-Star break at .233/.305/.326, but his fantasy line was not empty. He still produced 37 runs, 38 RBI, and 14 steals in 94 games, and his 7.9% strikeout rate remained absurdly low. Hoerner appeared in 94 of Chicago's 96 games, though he spent the final week […]

We've finally reached the All-Star break, and everyone can sit back and take a breather for a few days. We don't have to set any lineups for a few more days, but now is a good time to take stock of your fantasy teams. Where can you improve? What moves can you make? And most […]

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang is hitting .266/.361/.465 with an .826 OPS, 14 home runs, 60 RBI, 66 runs scored, and 15 stolen bases across 91 games and 416 plate appearances at the All-Star break. Turang probably won't ever eclipse the 50 stolen bases he had in his second year in the big leagues […]

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman/third baseman Nick Gonzales can be a great fill-in addition off the waiver wire if you need help at multiple infield spots. He has spent most of the year at the hot corner, but has other eligibility as well in most formats. The 27-year-old has been a utility man most of his […]

We've reached the All-Star break, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop getting you solid breakdowns on players for breakouts or fake outs. No rest for the wicked, or something like that. You could even argue that the best time to add a sneaky pickup is when everyone else is taking a break. So […]

The All-Star break is here, bringing us to the unofficial halfway point of the season. In reality, teams have completed around 60% of their games, and the second half of the fantasy baseball season is significantly shorter, and the time to make meaningful additions to your teams, whether via trades or the waiver wire, is […]

Targeting the top prospects ahead of their promotion to the majors can not only save managers a major portion of their FAAB budget, but also provide them with a high-upside player to keep on the bench. Below, we will spotlight three prospects who have begun to put themselves on the stash radar ahead of the […]

Through the first half of the season, fantasy baseball managers have seen many top prospects get the call and make an immediate impact. Players like Carson Benge, JJ Wetherholt, and Kevin McGonigle began the season in the majors, and Konnor Griffin followed shortly thereafter. Others like Cole Carrigg and A.J. Ewing were called up more recently […]

After undergoing offseason ankle surgery, Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Tommy Edman did not make his 2026 debut until June 17. However, the 31-year-old has performed well since his return, hitting .343/.421/.478 with one home run, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored, and two stolen bases across 78 plate appearances. With a 5.5% barrel rate (career […]

Across 392 plate appearances in 2026, Chicago White Sox infielder Chase Meidroth is hitting .269/.341/.379 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 54 runs scored, and two stolen bases. The 24-year-old has made some power strides this season after hitting five homers across 505 plate appearances in 2025, but he still owns just a 4.2% barrel […]

Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres (oblique) began a minor-league rehab assignment on Monday in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, going 1-for-3 at the plate with a double and an RBI while playing five innings at second base. Torres has been on the 10-day injured list since June 17 with a strained left oblique, but […]

During media sessions in Philadelphia this week for the All-Star festivities, San Francisco Giants infielder Luis Arraez said he doesn't want to be traded, but if it happens, he only wants to go somewhere he would play second base, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Many people were raising their eyebrows when […]

New York Mets second baseman Marcus Semien (hip) started his minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Binghamton and went 2-for-3 at the plate with a three-run home run and a strikeout. Semien wasn't expected to begin a rehab assignment until after the All-Star break this week, but apparently the Mets had a change of plans. He […]

Cleveland Guardians rookie second baseman Travis Bazzana, the first overall pick from Oregon State University in 2024, was hitting .294/.389/.450 with an .838 OPS, three homers, eight doubles, 11 RBI, eight stolen bases, and 13 runs scored in his first 30 games after debuting with Cleveland on April 28. Since June 2, though, he has […]

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Kody Clemens heads into this week's All-Star break only four home runs shy of a new career high in that category. The 30-year-old veteran has a .243/.303/.482 slash line with a .785 OPS, 16 home runs, 46 RBI, 45 runs scored, and six stolen bases in 301 at-bats at the halfway mark […]

There are always fantasy baseball busts every season. These players are often drafted very high and don't live up to their high average draft position. Those who select these busts early in drafts are then put in a really hard place. They are likely too good to drop, but it's almost impossible to trade them […]

Every season, fantasy players look for those guys who go late in drafts or are totally undrafted. We pride ourselves on finding "our guys" that other people might not believe in, or guys they have misapplied value to in their preparation.  There have been a handful of waiver-wire players who have turned into fantasy superstars. […]

During the first half of the season, fantasy managers have seen the importance of stashing prospects as playersl ike Payton Tolle, Konnor Griffin and Gage Jump have all flashed high-end upside once reaching the big leagues. In this piece, we will spotlight three of the top prospects in the minor leagues who could be worth […]

Every fantasy baseball season, you have to come up with a list of "My Guys." These are your favorite targets. The players you're willing to reach past ADP to ensure they're on your teams. This season, some of "My Guys" were major hits, like Munetaka Murakami and Jordan Walker, or huge misses, like Ronald Acuna […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of overachievers to trade away. Each week of the fantasy baseball season, we look at which star players are sell-high candidates.

The break also provides an opportunity to get ahead of the competition by stashing […]

Baltimore Orioles infielder Blaze Alexander (hand) suffered a non-displaced hand fracture after being hit by a pitch during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Alexander was 2-for-2 at the plate with a walk and two runs scored before getting nailed by a pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning. He was immediately removed […]

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Tommy Troy (shoulder) will undergo an MRI on Monday. Troy was held out of Sunday's lineup after suffering a shoulder contusion during Saturday's contest. The team will do imaging to determine the severity of the right shoulder injury. The All-Star break is beginning on Monday, so the D-Backs will have a few […]

The All-Star break is finally upon us, and therefore we have a few days off coming up, followed by an extra-long week since most fantasy sites combine next weekend's series with the full week of games that follow. Since you have to make your roster moves tonight anyway in a lot of leagues, I'm still […]
