It's time for the Week 16 edition of our Unlikely Aces column for the 2026 fantasy baseball season. This is a column where we dive into pitchers who are performing above expectations, hence the term "Unlikely Aces."

We've finally reached the All-Star break, and everyone can sit back and take a breather for a few days. We don't have to set any lineups for a few more days, but now is a good time to take stock of your fantasy teams. Where can you improve? What moves can you make? And most […]

Welcome back to our top starting pitcher fantasy baseball prospects to stash for Week 17 of the 2026 MLB season. Even though MLB has been out of action, the minor leagues have continued their seasons, and we even saw the Nationals promote first-base prospect Abimelec Ortiz on Sunday afternoon. This week, we will once again […]

The All-Star break affords us a chance to press pause and take stock of our strengths, weaknesses, and potential avenues to success. Some years, I take a wide stance with this column and include an aggressive number of players who are rostered in a healthy swath of leagues, but we're going to zoom in a […]

We've reached the hypothetical halfway point of the season as we hit the All-Star break this week. At this point, you should know where you stand in most leagues and what you might need to add this week before the sprint to the finish line of the season. We try to dig a little deeper […]

His Weekly Starting Pitcher Baller Ranks look to assist you in reaching the top spot as well. […]

Stashing high-end prospects ahead of their call-up can be the difference between winning and losing your fantasy league. Last summer, those who stashed Nick Kurtz ahead of his midseason call-up were rewarded with a top-10 hitter. In this piece, we will highlight two of the top pitching prospects in the game, including one budding superstar […]

After hitting .230 with two home runs through his first 129 plate appearances of 2026, Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in early May. The 24-year-old's defense behind the plate may have been the biggest reason for his demotion, and could remain a barrier to his return to the big leagues. […]

Across 39 innings (41 games) so far this season, Miami Marlins right-hander Michael Petersen (hamstring) has pitched to a 3.07 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 48 strikeouts and one save. Petersen exited early from Miami's final game before the All-Star break on Sunday with a hamstring injury, so fantasy managers should monitor for his health […]

Miami Marlins catcher Joe Mack hit the break at .245/.308/.419 with seven home runs, 24 runs, and 23 RBI in 155 at-bats. May was a slog, then he found something: a .294 average with five homers in June, followed by two more long balls in 23 July at-bats. Mack is sitting on nearly every Yahoo […]

Miami Marlins left fielder Heriberto Hernandez reached the break at .236/.316/.483 with 13 home runs, 36 RBI, 25 runs, and five steals in 203 at-bats. He did most of his recent damage in a hurry, going 12-for-46 with five homers over his final 15 games. 6% on Yahoo is awfully low for that kind of […]

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman has looked quite comfortable since returning from the Triple-A injured list earlier in June. Alderman was on the shelf for just over a month due to a wrist injury. However, this injury has not slowed down the former 47th overall pick out of Ole Miss, as he has carried […]

It's time, once again, to refresh the list of top-10 starting pitchers for fantasy baseball. This might be the best year for elite starting pitching that we have seen in some time, especially in the National League. In fact, only one of the current top 10 starting pitchers in the Yahoo rankings is from 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 […]

The All-Star break is here, bringing us to the unofficial halfway point of the season. In reality, teams have completed around 60% of their games, and the second half of the fantasy baseball season is significantly shorter, and the time to make meaningful additions to your teams, whether via trades or the waiver wire, is […]

Every fantasy baseball season, you have to come up with a list of "My Guys." These are your favorite targets. The players you're willing to reach past ADP to ensure they're on your teams. This season, some of "My Guys" were major hits, like Munetaka Murakami and Jordan Walker, or huge misses, like Ronald Acuna […]

In the opening months of the 2026 campaign, managers have seen many top-ranked prospects not only earn the call to their respective MLB roster, but perform at an elite level, such as Gage Jump, Cole Carrigg, Payton Tolle, and Konnor Griffin. In this piece, we will spotlight nine prospects who could emerge as worthy stash […]

During the first half of the season, fantasy managers saw many closers gradually emerge and solidify themselves as must-start players like Jacob Latz and Bryan Baker. Below, we will look at six relief pitchers whose value as fantasy options has surged over the past week and determine whether managers should pick them up. So, should […]

Stashing a high-end prospect ahead of their call-up can be a lottery ticket for their fantasy roster. So far, players like Gage Jump, Jake Bennett, and Sam Antonacci have proven immense upside in their rookie seasons. Below, we will check in on three emerging prospects at the Triple-A level and determine whether they are worthy […]

We've finally reached the All-Star break. For some teams, it's much needed. Teams like the Padres may be thankful that they can take a week to relax and recalibrate after a nasty slide. Others, like the Mets, may simply be thankful to not have ot play games for a while. Others are seeing their seasons […]

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 […]

Miami Marlins shortstop Otto Lopez has been a key contributor for the Fish this year, as they've gone from one of the worst teams in baseball last season to the middle of the NL Wild Card race. After hitting .246 last season, Lopez has had a huge jump to a .334 batting average with nine […]

Targeting the top prospects ahead of their promotion to the majors can not only save managers a major portion of their FAAB budget, but also provide them with a high-upside player to keep on the bench. Below, we will spotlight three prospects who have begun to put themselves on the stash radar ahead of the […]

Miami Marlins starting pitching prospect Karson Milbrandt is making a strong case for a promotion to the big league club despite two rough starts at Triple-A Jacksonville in his latest outings. Milbrandt has pitched well at two levels this year, going 4-1 at Double-A Pensacola with a 1.34 ERA and 70 strikeouts in 47 innings. […]

The first half of the 2026 MLB season will be in the books. MLB All-Star break is next week, and we kick off the second half of the year on Thursday night with the Phillies vs. Mets. There is still plenty of baseball to be played and enough to make a run in the standings. […]
