Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper (hand) will hopefully return to the lineup at Triple-A St. Paul this week. The Twins' second-ranked prospect was hit in the hand by a pitch back on June 30 and has yet to play in any games since then, but has been considered day-to-day. He had also missed a […]

Pittsburgh Pirates rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin (finger) is dealing with a torn tendon in his left ring finger, sources told Jeff Passan of ESPN. Griffin could play through the injury, but rehab is the likeliest option and would keep him out for at least a month. The Pirates already have outfielder Oneil Cruz (hand) and […]

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar has had a rough season overall in 2026, hitting .209/.252/.345 with eight home runs, 32 RBI, 31 runs scored, and five stolen bases across 321 plate appearances. However, the 24-year-old has begun to heat up a bit in July, hitting .250 with a .888 OPS and two home runs across […]

With the All-Star break less than a week away, we're hitting an important part of the schedule. MLB teams will be tinkering with their rosters at the deadline, and fantasy managers will be tinkering with their rosters in anticipation of the playoffs. You'll want to be ahead of the curve by finding as many diamonds […]

It's been rather slow lately on the prospect promotion front, with only a couple of promotions worth mentioning over the last couple of weeks. We're still waiting for Charlie Condon and Joshua Baez to mash their way into the Majors, and Kade Anderson remains thoroughly blocked in Seattle. While we wait for them, we got […]

Happy Tuesday, RotoBaller family! Studs aplenty will be taking the mound tonight, likely for the last time before the All-Star break. Thankfully, we don’t have to worry about them because some of the worst pitchers in baseball will also be on the bump tonight, and we can pick on them all we want.  There are... […]

We have a nine-game slate this Tuesday in MLB, and what a fun one it is. We have some elite pitching options to choose from, as well as some great value plays on the bump tonight. We also have a few stacks that stand out, one of which I think will be underowned on tonight's... […]

Stashing high-end prospects ahead of their MLB debuts can provide managers with a potential lottery ticket down the stretch. So far, prospects like Konnor Griffin, Bryce Eldridge, and Henry Bolte have showcased the importance of stashing prospects. Below we will look at two high-impact prospects from the AL Central and take a look at one […]

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Jose Caballero carried the Yankees' offense on Monday night in a 5-1 win on the road against his former team, the Tampa Bay Rays. Caballero went 2-for-3 at the plate with two home runs and four RBI to boost his season average to .249 and his OPS to .711. The speedy […]

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (thumb) has been shut down from hitting due to right thumb inflammation and is not expected to return from the 10-day injured list until after the All-Star break, per MLB.com. Wilson emerged as a high-end source of batting average for fantasy managers in 2025, hitting .311/.355/.444 with 13 home runs, 63 […]

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (abdomen) is participating in all baseball activities, but not quite at full speed, according to MLB.com. The general timetable for his recovery from sports-hernia surgery (on May 21) is eight to 12 weeks, but Story thinks he'll be closer to eight. The Red Sox put Story on the 15-day […]

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Pena is currently battling a calf strain, but it appears as though he is close to making his return. It's been an injury-marred 2026 campaign for Pena so far, as he's been limited […]

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Franklin Arias is impressing at Double-A this season, but he could be a long way away from making an impact in fantasy leagues. Double-A Portland has been good to the 20-year-old, as he has amassed 17 homers and 47 RBI while hitting .332 with five stolen bases. The numbers are […]

Chicago White Sox infielder Chase Meidroth had a strong month of June, putting himself on the map for a waiver-wire pickup in deeper mixed leagues for fantasy managers in search of infield depth. In 25 games last month, Meidroth went 27-for-94 (.287) with a homer, four doubles, nine RBI, and 14 runs scored across 106 […]

New York Yankees top-ranked prospect George Lombard Jr. (finger) has been on the 7-day injured list (Triple-A) for nearly a month but has maintained his value for those in deeper leagues. Prior to hitting the injured list, the team's top infield prospect was taking a massive step forward at the top club in the system. […]

Seattle Mariners infield prospect Michael Arroyo was promoted to Triple-A Tacoma earlier on Sunday evening, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Arroyo is currently viewed as the team's No. 5-ranked prospect and the overall No. 45 prospect on MLB.com. The infielder has spent the first half of the season in Double-A and is being rewarded […]

Happy Monday, RotoBallers! This is the last full week of baseball before we hit the All-Star break, so let's start it off with some homer props! A lot of teams have the day off today, so it'll be a shorter slate to work with (there are eight games on the docket). Some pivotal series are... […]

We have a small seven-game slate on both sites tonight, and it is extremely challenging. We have a very tough pitching slate, with few great options. On the offensive side, we have a spot that should garner a ton of ownership. Let's dig in and see what makes the most sense tonight. If you have... […]

Throughout the first half, prospects like Payton Tolle, Sam Antonacci, and Gage Jump have shown the importance of stashing prospects ahead of other promotions to the big leagues. Below, we will look at three prospects who are putting themselves at the top of most stash rankings ahead of Week 15 of the fantasy season. Should […]

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (calf) is expected to play in some minor league rehab games this week. Pena landed on the Injured List last Tuesday due to a calf strain.

Athletics infield prospect Leo De Vries has continued to enjoy a hot streak at Double-A and turned in another strong showing on Saturday. Facing Double-A Frisco, De Vries went 2-for-5 with his 10th long ball of the season. Over his last 17 games with Midland, the No. 2-ranked prospect in baseball (per MLB.com) has posted […]

Well, I was 0-for-4 on home run picks yesterday (I knew I should have written up Kyle Stowers), but we won't count the Luis Arraez one since Colorado switched pitchers on us. Still, my DFS cash lineup was absolute fire, as the kids say, with contributions all across the board. If you were in our... […]

Welcome, RotoBallers, to another staff roundtable ahead of Week 15 of the fantasy season.
