We’re about to enter Week 15 of the 2026 MLB season, which means the All-Star break is approaching and trade rumors are starting to heat up ahead of the August 3 deadline. The goal of this article is to highlight five top-performing minor league prospects who are worth stashing in redraft leagues for the 2026 […]

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe has held off Jose Caballero at the 6 in the Bronx, but it's primarily due to injuries to New York's outfield and third baseman Ryan McMahon (illness). Volpe didn't make his 2026 season debut with the Yanks until May 13 while rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgery. The 25-year-old former […]

New York Yankees infielder George Lombard Jr. (fingers) is the team's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and he could push for a big-league promotion in 2026. The 21-year-old landed on the seven-day injured list at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with two sprained fingers on his left hand in the middle of June, but even though he's currently […]

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts (wrist) is starting at shortstop and will bat cleanup for the Dodgers in Thursday's series opener at home against the division-rival San Diego Padres and right-hander Randy Vasquez. Betts was scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup as a precaution due to soreness in his wrist in the series finale against […]

Minnesota Twins shortstop prospect Kaelen Culpepper (hand) is likely day-to-day at Triple-A St. Paul while he awaits X-ray results on his left hand, according to Theodore Tollefson. Culpepper, the team's No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was held out of the Saints' lineup on Wednesday with a left-hand injury after he was hit by a […]

Los Angeles Angels infield prospect Denzer Guzman was called up in early June to give the Halos some infield reinforcements, and the 22-year-old Dominican has hit .268/.325/.437 with a .761 OPS, three home runs, 13 RBI, seven runs scored, and a stolen base in 18 games and 77 plate appearances. He appeared in 13 games […]

Atlanta Braves shortstop Jim Jarvis is returning to the MLB roster for a second stint this season. He played two games for the team in May but has spent most of the year in Triple-A with the Gwinnett Stripers. In his 76 minor-league games, he hit .313 with six homers and a .392 wOBA. He […]

The calendar is about to flip into July, and we're now entering the stretch run of the 2026 fantasy baseball season. As I've always said, stashing prospects in redraft leagues needs to be very strategic, especially now with those bench spots being so valuable. With only a couple of prospect promotions recently, the top names […]

We have a six-game slate tonight. This is a very interesting slate because, although it's small, there are plenty of options. Thursday is usually an off day for DFS for me, but I will be playing heavily tonight because this slate is so awesome. If you have not had a chance to check out my... […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Zach killed it yesterday, nailing Junior Caminero and Josh Bell to go yard. It's always tough following a highly successful day like that, but I'll give it a shot. We have nine games on this hot Thursday. As we get close to the Fourth of July, it will only get hotter. Let's... […]

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts (wrist) was scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Athletics due to wrist soreness, according to Jack Harris of The California Post. The Dodgers are "erring on the side of caution" for now, manager Dave Roberts said. With Betts sitting out, veteran Miguel Rojas made the start at the […]

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames (back) remains sidelined for Wednesday's contest against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field, per MLB.com. Christian Koss, who was called up from Triple-A Sacramento, will make the start at the 6 and bat ninth for the Gigantes against Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen. The left side of San Fran's […]

The Chicago Cubs and shortstop Dansby Swanson made a statement at Wrigley Field on Wednesday at Wrigley Field in a 23-3 thrashing of the visiting San Diego Padres to finish off their three-game sweep. Swanson had a pretty rough start through the first couple months of the 2026 season, but he has been heating up […]

Cincinnati Reds middle infielder Matt McLain is making his first career start in center field and will bat eighth in Wednesday's contest on the road against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers and left-hander Shane Drohan, per MLB.com. The Reds need a right-handed-hitting center fielder, with both Blake Dunn (elbow) and Dane Myers (shoulder) currently on the […]

Amidst a highly disappointing 2026 season in which the New York Mets have already fired manager Carlos Mendoza, owner Steve Cohen said that president of baseball operations David Stearns will live out the remainder of his five-year contract, according to Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Stearns is currently in the […]

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (calf) was doing some light on-field running at Daikin Park on Wednesday with a trainer, according to Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle. The Astros placed Pena on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a strained left calf, but it's obviously not a very serious injury, and the team […]

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jesus Made continues to show off the skillset that has made him MLB's top-ranked prospect. The switch-hitter recorded a three-hit game over the weekend and has two steals in his last four contests, bringing his season-long slash line to .281/.355/.441 with seven home runs and 23 steals while competing as one […]

Athletics shortstop prospect Leo De Vries continues to look plenty comfortable at Double-A Midland. MLB's No. 2 prospect overall is 7-for-23 (.304) over his last five games, including two doubles, a home run, a 2:4 BB:K, and even back-to-back three-steal games. For the season, the switch-hitter is slashing .283/.375/.426 with nine home runs and 28 […]

After recently returning from a stay on the seven-day concussion injured list last week, Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday due to a back injury that kept him out of Tuesday's starting lineup against the Cleveland Guardians, according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning […]

After a rough start to his 2026 season, Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson is beginning to heat up with the weather. In the Cubs' 9-7 win over the visiting San Diego Padres on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field, Swanson went 3-for-4 at the plate with two home runs and three RBI to continue his recent […]

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Franklin Arias' bat has come back to life in a big way after a short slump. From June 11 through June 19, Boston's top-ranked prospect went just 2-for-20 (.100) over a six-game span, but in the nine games since, he's 18-for-38 (.474) with five doubles, three home runs, and a […]
