Angel Martinez Worth a Look in Deeper Leagues

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Angel Martinez got off to a miserable start at the plate, going 3-for-21 (.143) over his first nine games, however, he shook off the rust and went a sizzling 10-for-17 (.588) over the next four contests, with two doubles, a home run, six RBI, four runs scored, and three stolen bases. The […]

Daulton Varsho Collecting Extra-Base Hits During Four-Game Hit Streak

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho has begun to pick it up at the plate, collecting at least one hit in eight of the last 10 games he's started, and is currently riding a four-game hit streak during which time he's belted four extra-base hits, including two doubles and two home runs. The recent hot […]

Jorge Soler an Intriguing Lower-Rostered Power Option

Los Angeles Angels outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler recently went on a stretch where he blasted a home run in three consecutive games, which was also part of a longer six-game hit streak, putting himself back on the fantasy radar. A couple of games in which he's gone 0-for-7 since then have surely left a sour […]

Michael Harris II Back From Paternity List on Monday

The Atlanta Braves announced on Monday that they have reinstated outfielder Michael Harris II (personal) from the paternity list and designated infielder Luke Williams for assignment in a corresponding move. Harris, who was away from the team over the weekend for the birth of his child, should be back in the team's starting lineup for […]

The Cincinnati Reds are calling up hot-hitting outfielder Rece Hinds from Triple-A Louisville, according to Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer.

Reds Option Noelvi Marte to Triple-A

The Cincinnati Reds announced on Monday that they optioned outfielder Noelvi Marte to Triple-A Louisville after their game on Sunday. Marte should get another opportunity in Cincinnati this year, but for now, he'll be replaced on the active big-league roster with outfielder Rece Hinds.

Max Clark Not Slowing Down at Triple-A, Path to MLB Debut Remains Clear

Detroit Tigers top prospect Max Clark has yet to slow down during his first taste of Triple-A and is quickly approaching his MLB debut. After spending most of the 2025 campaign with High-A and Double-A, the Tigers opted to send their No.1 outfield prospect to Triple-A to begin the 2026 campaign. Through his first 14 […]

James Tibbs III Emerging as Top Hitter to Stash

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III continues to dominate at the Triple-A level and is quickly entering must-stash territory. Even though the Dodgers' outfield is filled at the moment, Tibbs has looked more than comfortable at Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin the regular season. Through 15 games, the former 13th overall pick has […]
