It's hard to believe, but we're already approaching the end of July, and the first two-thirds of the Major League season is in the books. This is the time of the season when some people let their foot off the gas pedal. Don't do that. There's still plenty of season to be played and plenty […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of Buy-Low Candidates for Week 17 of the fantasy baseball season. Every week of the fantasy baseball season, we look at struggling star players who are top buy-low candidates. Last week's list included names like Fernando Tatis Jr., Jeremy Pena, and Julio Rodriguez. For this week, we will look at five […]

Hello RotoBallers! Welcome back to another edition of our 7 Must-Adds ahead of Week 18 of the fantasy baseball season. I'm filling in for Andy Smith this week, and I'm hopeful to bring you the same level of analysis he does on a weekly basis here. This week, we will spotlight seven players who are available […]

Throughout the first half of the 2026 campaign, prospects such as Payton Tolle, Carson Benge, and A.J. Ewing have all flashed upside and emerged as weekly must-start players. Below, we will look at 13 emerging prospects who have put themselves near the top of the stash radar ahead of Week 18 of the fantasy season. […]

The trade deadline is only a few weeks away, which means we should see several top prospects called up soon to fill roster gaps and provide a boost for teams making a playoff push. We should also expect another wave of prospect debuts around mid-August, when hitters can be promoted while still maintaining their rookie […]

Welcome back to my Fantasy Baseball Breakout Hitters article for Week 18 of the 2026 MLB regular season. The goal of this article is to highlight players who could be breaking out, diving into current active hitting streaks, along with recent leaders in batting average, isolated power (ISO), stolen bases, and more. In this week's […]

Welcome, RotoBallers, to another edition of our Bargain Basement Hitters for Week 17 of the fantasy baseball season. We're in the thick of the stretch run now, so it's time to boost our teams with some impactful pickups. As always, we will look at five hitters who are improving and are widely available across all […]

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (calf) was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Soto was lifted for a pinch-runner in the sixth inning of this game. The team is saying that Soto was pulled from the contest due to left calf soreness. It's the same calf […]

Chicago White Sox infielder/outfielder Sam Antonacci has already made himself useful across all five standard fantasy categories. He is batting .278/.370/.408 with seven home runs, 30 RBI, 52 runs, and 13 stolen bases through 284 at-bats. The power is not a carrying tool, but it does not have to be when Antonacci is reaching base, […]

San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos is hitting .268/.304/.455 with nine home runs, 31 RBI, and 33 runs through 260 plate appearances. The home-run total undersells how well he has squared up the ball. His 92.4 mph average exit velocity, 15.7% barrel rate, and 50.3% hard-hit rate support the power case, and his .491 expected […]

Seattle Mariners second base/outfield prospect Michael Arroyo was recently promoted from Double-A Arkansas to Triple-A Tacoma and is producing with two homers and 13 RBI in just 12 games with Tacoma. Altogether in the month of July, between the two levels, Arroyo is hitting .395 with four homers, 19 RBI, and 19 runs scored. Arroyo, […]

Since being called up for his MLB debut in mid-May, New York Mets outfielder A.J. Ewing is hitting .274/.345/.426 with seven home runs, 25 RBI, 27 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases across 251 plate appearances. The 21-year-old has struck out in 27.1% of his plate appearances, which is a bit of a concern for […]

Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon is hitting .306 in July and is looking day by day like a potential call-up to make his major-league debut. Condon, the former No. 3 overall pick in the MLB Draft, is tearing up Triple-A Albuquerque this season, hitting .289 with 20 homers, 62 RBI, 77 runs scored […]

Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins has returned to the lineup for Triple-A St. Paul and has now been back for about a month. Activated on June 23, Jenkins has a month full of production under his name with modest results. The Twins top overall prospect has two homers and six RBI to his name […]

The Baltimore Orioles announced on Friday that first base/outfield prospect Ike Irish (knee) is being placed on the High-A Frederick seven-day injured list due to a torn left meniscus that he suffered while sliding into second base on Wednesday, according to Steve Malewski. Irish, the Orioles' No. 2-ranked prospect per MLB Pipeline, is likely to […]

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena has hit a strong .281 (97-for-345) in his second year with the team on his way to his third All-Star appearance, but his power has been down in 2026, and his underlying metrics don't exactly project a strong finish. The 31-year-old Cuban finished the first half on a good note […]

New York Mets outfielder Carson Benge has quietly been one of the more productive rookie bats in 2026 for the last-place Mets. Going into the weekend, he is slashing .263/.324/.397 with a .720 OPS, 11 home runs, 13 doubles, 40 RBI, 16 stolen bases, and 52 runs scored as a lineup regular through 99 games […]

Tampa Bay Rays outfield prospect Jacob Melton has quietly been one of the top hitters at the Triple-A level over the last several weeks and is emerging as a top prospect to stash. Over his last 13 contests at Triple-A (since returning from injury), Melton has carried an elite .327/.421/.592 slash line with four doubles, […]

Chicago Cubs first base/outfield prospect Josiah Hartshorn turned in another stellar effort at High-A on Thursday evening. Facing Wisconsin, Hartshorn went 2-for-3 with a double and a home run. This marked the young slugger's 16th long ball of his first professional campaign. Hartshorn was selected by the Cubs in the sixth round of the 2025 […]

St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez has endured a tough skid in July, which has delayed his eventual MLB debut. Since the start of the month, the young slugger in the St. Louis system has carried a modest .138/.239/.328 line. During this 15-game stretch, he has not shown his typical high-end power potential, hitting […]

With the All-Star break in the rearview mirror, we're officially entering the stretch run of the MLB season and the fantasy baseball season as well. We only have nine weeks left in the season, so that means around 5-6 weeks before the playoffs for those of you in head-to-head formats. Every move we make becomes […]

Stashing prospects ahead of their MLB promotion can not only save you some of your FAAB budget, but also provide you with a potential lottery ticket. In this piece, we will look at two of the hottest bats at the Triple-A level and a budding ace who has put themselves firmly on the stash radar […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! After a slower Thursday, it's time to dive back into a juicy Friday slate with every team in the MLB in action. The Brewers and Rockies play the only afternoon contest, with the rest of the 28 teams in action under the lights. Of the 14 night games, five are divisional tilts,... […]

Happy Friday, RotoBallers! After a lousy five-gamer that barely even warranted play, every team is once again in action for their weekend series, and the DFS sites will have 10-gamers that start at 7:05 EST. If that's not enough, there's even a small four-game slate at 6:40 that we can throw some GPPs in. Be... […]

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds put together one of the worst seasons of his career last year. It wasn't an awful year, but Reynolds is expected to play at an All-Star level, which is something he didn't do last season. Now, Reynolds is back and has rebounded nicely at the plate. Through 103 games, Reynolds […]

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II is enjoying a bounce-back season at the plate. Through 95 games, Harris is slashing .296/.325/.499 with 18 home runs, 60 RBI, and six steals. There is a good chance that Harris sets a new career high in homers this season. The 2026 season is the best Harris has looked […]

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman blasted his 14th home run of the season on Wednesday in a two-hit effort for Triple-A Jacksonville. The Marlins' eighth-ranked prospect is hitting .326 in 12 July games for the Jumbo Shrimp, which has raised his season-long slash line to .295/.372/.515. The former second-rounder offered stolen base potential last […]

Kansas City Royals first baseman/outfielder Jac Caglianone (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup for Thursday's contest on the road in Detroit against the division-rival Tigers, per MLB.com. Nick Loftin is starting in right field and will bat eighth against Tigers right-hander Troy Melton. Caglianone injured his shoulder attempting to make a diving catch in […]

Chicago Cubs first baseman/outfield prospect Jonathon Long is having a strong season at Triple-A Iowa, but has been particularly hot as of late. The Cubs' sixth-ranked prospect is 17-for-36 (.472) over his last eight games, including a three-hit, four-hit, and even a five-hit performance, during which time he tallied five doubles, two home runs, and […]

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring) will play in a minor-league rehab game with Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday night, and manager Walt Weiss said there's a possibility that he'll be activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. But if Acuna doesn't return on Friday, he's expected to […]
