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.

You will need your stacks to have several home runs tonight in order to take a contest down. Let's dig in. If you... […]

Saves are an important component for many fantasy baseball leagues. Closers are one of the most volatile positions in fantasy baseball and one of the highest turnover positions in MLB. Each year, closers drop like flies, and many MLB teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Relief pitchers are becoming increasingly important […]

In this piece, we will check in on one of the top prospects in all of baseball and spotlight two other prospects who […]

The Athletics announced on Monday that they called up infield prospect Joshua Kuroda-Grauer from Triple-A Las Vegas, with shortstop Jacob Wilson (thumb) landing on the 10-day injured list to begin the week.

The Athletics announced on Monday that they placed first baseman/outfielder Tyler Soderstrom (hip) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 28) with a left-hip impingement. In corresponding moves, the club selected infielder Joshua Kuroda-Grauer and recalled infielder Darell Hernaiz from Triple-A Las Vegas. Soderstrom was forced from Saturday's game early with his hip injury […]

The Athletics placed shortstop Jacob Wilson (thumb) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 26) on Monday with right-thumb inflammation, according to the team.

Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler is slashing just .204/.290/.311 with five home runs, 21 RBI, 29 runs scored, and six stolen bases in 76 games so far in 2026. His slow start to his fourth year in the big leagues with the A's has caused him to be dropped in many fantasy baseball leagues. However, he […]

The Athletics have been going with a closer-by-committee approach late in games, with right-handed reliever Elvis Alvarado in the mix alongside lefty Hogan Harris and right-hander Mason Barnett. However, only fantasy managers desperate for saves in deeper leagues should even consider snagging Alvarado off the waiver wire right now. The 27-year-old Dominican is currently 3-3 […]

Every season, fantasy managers see highly-regarded prospects not only earn the call to the big leagues, but also make a high impact for fantasy. Last season, Nick Kurtz took the crown, and so far, players like Gage Jump and Konnor Griffin are showing similar potential. Below, we will look at two of the top pitching […]

Somehow, a whole bunch of my favorite young pitchers happened to line up to start on the same day. And the best part is that most of them have some very exploitable matchups for strikeouts, too. So, I ended up with a pretty substantial six-prop betting card today for a Monday! If you want the... […]

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (shoulder) has battled injury issues in 2026. After being placed on the injured list in early May due to a shoulder subluxation, Wilson re-injured the same shoulder on a play at the plate on Wednesday and has not played since. The Athletics have not yet placed Wilson on the injured list, […]

We’re now entering Week 14 of the 2026 MLB season, which makes it a good time to start stashing high-upside prospects who could help down the stretch in the second half. Most of these names are best suited for deeper AL- or NL-only leagues, but a few could work their way into mixed-league value if […]
