Kansas City Royals shortstop/outfielder Tyler Tolbert made history last week when he recorded hits in 12 straight at-bats over a three-game stretch to tie the MLB record for most hits in consecutive at-bats, but he started on the bench in the final three games before the All-Star break. Tolbert's move back to the bench coincided […]

Across 140 plate appearances in 2026, New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez is hitting .235/.273/.409 with five home runs, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored, and six stolen bases. With Yankees outfielders Aaron Judge (ribs) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf) both currently on the injured list and facing uncertain return timelines, Dominguez has emerged as an everyday […]

Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins picked up where he left off after spending a month on the injured list with a sprained shoulder, going 16-for-51 (.314) with four doubles, two triples, a home run, and two steals in the 13 games since his return.

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes was recently promoted to Triple-A Tacoma, and although it didn't take long (five games) for him to show off his power with a majestic 436-foot home run, the 6-foot-5 slugger's swing-and-miss tendency has been exploited at the minors' highest level. Through six games and 31 plate appearances for the […]

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 […]

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III capped off a highly productive first half with a mini three-game hit streak in which he went 6-for-12 (.500), including a double and a stolen base. Notably, the Dodgers' ninth-ranked prospect also showed great improvement in his strikeout rate as of late, recording just three strikeouts over […]

Chicago Cubs left fielder Ian Happ reached the break with 17 home runs and 59 runs, numbers that still carry weight in a trade. The batting average is another story. Happ hit .220 across 397 plate appearances, struck out 31.5% of the time, and slipped to seventh in the order twice during the final four […]

Across 244 plate appearances in 2026, Miami Marlins utility man Javier Sanoja is hitting .272/.313/.404 with three home runs, 34 RBI, 21 runs scored, and five stolen bases. The 23-year-old's ability to play both the infield and the outfield makes him a logical candidate for a bench role, but he's emerged as the near-everyday third […]

Chicago White Sox rookie outfielder Braden Montgomery got his MLB career started with a bang, clubbing a walk-off home run to beat the Atlanta Braves on June 9. The 23-year-old switch-hitting outfielder finished the first half strong, too, going 2-for-4 with a home run and a career-best four RBI in Sunday's win over the Athletics, […]

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark's first half ended quietly with a 0-for-7 two-game stretch over the weekend, but he had been rolling in the lead-up to that.

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen capped off a phenomenal first half by belting a double in a 1-for-4 day at the plate on Sunday, his 26th double of the season, which makes him the leader in doubles at Triple-A. The Rockies' 13th-ranked prospect slashed .311/.385/.578 with 16 home runs and 14 steals through 81 […]

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell is a trendy waiver-wire pickup this week thanks to a strong finish to his first half. In 13 games so far in July, he's gone 18-for-47 (.383) with two home runs, six doubles, a triple, six RBI, and eight runs scored to boost his season slash line to .274/.362/.459 with […]

Outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (back) has been just one of the many disappointments for the New York Mets in 2026, having played in just 24 games in his first year in Queens due to a back injury. The 28-year-old Cuban outfielder is now rostered in under half of Yahoo leagues. However, Robert began a minor-league […]

Since being recalled from Triple-A in mid-May, Washington Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews has hit .211/.270/.343 with six home runs, 18 RBI, 25 runs scored, and five stolen bases across 189 plate appearances. The 24-year-old hit .228 with four home runs and three stolen bases across 107 plate appearances in June, but he struggled to just […]

Kansas City Royals outfielder Lane Thomas got off to a very slow start to the 2026 season, hitting .208 with one home run across his first 125 plate appearances.

Across 254 plate appearances this season, Seattle Mariners outfielder Dominic Canzone is hitting .264/.335/.529 with 15 home runs, 40 RBI, 33 runs scored, and one stolen base.

Walker silenced the relentless Philly […]

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.
