Jonathon Long Could Be Sneaky Late-Season Stash Candidate
Miami Marlins first base/outfield prospect Jonathon Long has played 16 games with Triple-A Jacksonville after being traded over from the Chicago Cubs.

Cam Cannarella Not Proving He's Major-League-Ready Yet
In 27 games with Triple-A Jacksonville, Miami Marlins outfield prospect Cam Cannarella has one homer and five RBI in 99 at bats with a .273 batting average. The numbers in his most recent promotion to Triple-A are decent but nothing special meaning the Marlins will likely need to see more before promoting Cannarella to Miami. […]
Cooper Ingle Can Be Left On the Waiver Wire Amid Triple-A Struggles
Cleveland Guardians catcher prospect Cooper Ingle has slowed down his hitting in the month of August at Triple-A Columbus and is therefore not a high-priority stash candidate. Ingle has hit two homers in 61 August at bats with nine RBI and a .230 batting average. The catcher and outfielder already received a shot at playing […]
Bo Davidson Has Skills To Back Up a Big-League Promotion

Across 414 plate appearances in 2026, Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler is hitting .227/.320/.365 with 11 home runs, 40 RBI, 51 runs scored, and nine stolen bases.

Griffin Conine Emerging as a High-End Power Source
Miami Marlins outfielder/first baseman Griffin Conine's 2026 season got off to a rough start, as he suffered a hamstring injury in early April that required surgery and sidelined him for over two months.

Across 341 plate appearances since making his MLB debut in mid-May, Athletics outfielder Henry Bolte is hitting .276/.351/.379 with six home runs, 26 RBI, 37 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases. The 23-year-old has established himself as the A's everyday center fielder and has now batted in the leadoff spot in his team's lineup in […]
Parks Harber Makes Push for Late-Season Promotion
San Francisco Giants infield/outfield prospect Parks Harber's strong campaign at Triple-A continued on Tuesday, with a three-hit game that included a double, a walk, two RBI, and two runs scored. The effort pushed his slash line to a robust .313/.401/.492 with five home runs in 32 games for Sacramento. The Giants' 13th-ranked prospect earned the […]
Spencer Jones Establishing Himself as a Priority Waiver-Wire Target
Across 182 plate appearances in 2026, New York Yankees outfielder Spencer Jones is hitting .233/.313/.429 with seven home runs, 22 RBI, 21 runs scored, and eight stolen bases. The 25-year-old remains a potential batting average liability due to his swing-and-miss tendencies, as he's struck out in 35.2% of his trips to the plate. However, Jones' […]

Jhostynxon Garcia Not a Stash Consideration Amid IL Stint
Pittsburgh Pirates outfield prospect Jhostynxon Garcia (undisclosed) was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Indianapolis with an undisclosed injury on August 20, so he could return to action this weekend if his stay on the IL is a short one. Even so, it doesn't give the Pirates' 13th-ranked prospect much time to get […]

MLB Home Run Props to Bet Today (8/25/26)
Happy Tuesday, RotoBaller Family! After a rare swing-and-miss last week, my daughter suggested I only recommend players with a .275 batting average because they are “not the best hitters, but they can hit the ball, so maybe they can get a home run.” Thankfully, I didn't take her advice and will use deeper analysis for...
