Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark has continued to tap into his raw power in June at Triple-A and is seeing his stash value climb. Since June 1, Clark has carried a strong .270/.370/.476 slash line with one double, four home runs, two stolen bases, and a strong 11:10 K:BB. Prior to this recent surge at the dish, Clark held a lower .262 AVG with just two total round-trippers over his first 50 games of the regular season. Last summer, Clark, the team's top-ranked prospect, split his time at High-A and Double-A, with most of his bats coming at High-A West Michigan. Through 111 games, he went deep 14 times and swiped 10 bags while holding a .271 AVG. Even though the Detroit outfield does not have a clear opening, his five-category skill set and rising power make him a top stash target in five-outfielder leagues. If he maintains this pace, he should contend for a July debut.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt was recently demoted to Triple-A Reno after his first look at the major leagues. Even though his redraft value took a major hit, Waldschmidt has looked quite comfortable in his return to Triple-A and could push for an early call-up back to Arizona. Since returning to Reno, Waldschmidt has appeared in five games and gone deep twice while going 6-for-20. Over his first 33 games at the MLB level, the former top-ranked prospect carried a modest .229/.314/.357 line with nine doubles, one triple, and no home runs. Following this demotion, a report by Alex Weiner of AZ Sports suggested that the team wants their young outfielder to work on his production against breaking balls at Triple-A. If Waldschmidt can maintain this pace and show steady progression, he should return to the Diamondbacks in the near future, making him a viable stash target in all 12-team leagues with N/A spots, given his five-category skill set.

Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper has seen his fantasy stock take a short-term dip due to his current hip injury. Last week, the Twins placed their top infield prospect on the 7-day injured list with a hip strain. While this does not appear to be a long-term concern, managers in shallower leagues may need to cut ties with the budding star. Before the injury, the former 21st overall pick from the 2024 MLB Draft was flashing high-end upside with the Triple-A club, posting a .273/.377/.498 slash line with 11 doubles, 14 home runs, and 15 stolen bases. While his MLB debut was delayed by this injury, he should have a clear path to the Twins once he returns to the Triple-A diamond. While those in shallower leagues should monitor him from the waiver wire, those in deeper leagues with several NA spots should still view him as a top stash target in Week 13.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitching prospect River Ryan is coming off the worst outing of the campaign at Triple-A and is seeing his stash upside drop significantly. On June 17, Ryan faced Sacramento and stumbled, allowing a season-high 10 hits and eight runs (all earned) over just 4 1/3 innings. However, prior to this showing, the right-hander was looking quite comfortable following his return from a brief stint on the injured list. From May 15 through June 10, Ryan carried a dominant 2.16 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, with a 30:5 K:BB (over 25 frames), which suggested he was nearing an MLB promotion. However, this setback may keep him at Triple-A for the time being. Even with several Dodgers starters on the shelf, such as Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow, Ryan appears to need further development at Oklahoma City, which makes him a worthy stash candidate in deeper 12+ team leagues.

Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins (shoulder) recently began his rehab assignment with the lower levels of the Minnesota pipeline after being cleared following his shoulder injury. During this rehab assignment (four games), Jenkins has spent time with Low-A and High-A and has swung a scorching bat, posting a .563/.588/1.000 line with two long balls, a double, and a 2:1 K:BB. Jenkins opened the regular season with Triple-A St. Paul, just one stop away from the major leagues. However, the team's top-ranked prospect got off to a sluggish start to the season, carrying a .256/.396/.389 line with only six doubles and two home runs over 25 games. Despite his lack of power, Jenkins posted an 18:19 K:BB, which was very promising. If Jenkins can carry this momentum from his rehab assignment back into Triple-A, the budding star should contend for a debut shortly after the All-Star break.

The Los Angeles Angels' closing situation has been a revolving door in 2026, but Sam Bachman received his opportunity on Sunday and delivered. He tossed a clean inning, needing only 11 pitches and tossing nine of them for strikes. Although this was Bachman's first save of the season, he has had three opportunities, and now the Angels have nine pitchers who have recorded a save opportunity. This season, Bachman has been sharp, with a 3.63 ERA (3.30 xERA), 1.21 WHIP, and elite fastball velocity (97th percentile). His stuff remains high-end, as evidenced by his whiff rate (33.6 percent) and strikeout rate (24.3 percent), but his control is at times inconsistent (11.8 percent). At this point, Bachman should be considered nothing more than a speculation add for fantasy managers, as we don't have much of a track record to suggest Bachman will take over, as this was his second career save and the Angels have not been consistent whatsoever with their bullpen, but Bachman is one to keep an eye on in deeper leagues where saves are scarece, especially if we start to notice a trend of him getting more opportunities.

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Charlie Condon has enjoyed a power surge in the month of June and is on the verge of earning a call to the big leagues. Over the last 12 contests, the former Georgia standout has posted a dominant .318/.444/.818 line with an eye-catching six round-trippers, two doubles, and a solid 10:7 K:BB. Overall, Condon has done more than hold his own during his first taste of Triple-A action, carrying a .262/.397/.512 line with a .909 OPS across 64 games. During this stretch, Condon has launched 14 total home runs while holding a 70:46 K:BB. Last summer, the former third overall pick split his time between High-A and Double-A. With Colorado dealing with many injuries in their outfield, Condon has a clear path to at-bats, and his current power surge is only bolstering his fantasy stock. Those needing power should view him as a priority stash.

Cincinnati Tony Santillan tossed two shutout innings on Sunday against the Yankees to earn his sixth save of the season in nine opportunities. It was a crisp two innings for Santillan, as he did not allow a base runner and needed only 16 pitches to record six outs, and 11 of those were strikes. Santillan has had opportunities of late to close out games due to Emilio Pagan (hamstring) landing on the 15-day injured list. Pagan is throwing right now, as he completed live batting practice in a simulated game on Friday, but is likely still going to do a few rehab assignments, meaning Santillan has the opportunity to close out games for another few weeks, so long as he continues to produce. Santillan, on the season, has not been sharp; he owns a 5.10 ERA and 1.40 WHIP, but has clearly become the preferred arm to close games, as the next closest arm for save opportunities is Sam Moll with four chances. Although it may not be pretty, in leagues where saves are scarce, Santillan is worth a look in the short term simply based on opportunity.

Texas Rangers announced on Sunday that 23-year-old right-handed pitcher Jose Corniell, who is the Rangers' No. 4-ranked prospect, has been recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, and right-handed pitcher Jack Leiter (ankle) has been placed on the 15-day IL, retroactive to June 19. 2026. Corniell got a cup of coffee at the big league level back in 2025, where he appeared in one game and allowed three earned runs. Corniell has struggled in Triple-A this season, evidenced by his 6.08 ERA, 15.4 percent strikeout rate, and 1.69 WHIP. However, he was spectacular in 2025, posting a 1.89 ERA and 0.84 WHIP over 38 innings. Because he is ranked highly by the Rangers, it is certainly worth keeping an eye on how he performs in his first few opportunities; however, he will likely be deployed in middle relief and lower-leverage situations for the Rangers, and is not worth a pickup in most formats at this time.

Texas Rangers left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery (elbow) tossed one shutout inning on Sunday, allowing one hit, no earned runs, no walks, and struck out one in Double-A with the Frisco RoughRiders. He fired 10 of his 13 pitches for strikes. This was Montgomery's first time pitching at any professional level since undergoing UCL surgery last March. Montgomery is expected to gradually increase his pitch count over multiple rehab starts, but this is his first time pitching since September of 2024. During his last season with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2024, he struggled mightily, posting a 6.23 ERA and 1.65 WHIP with 83 strikeouts in 117 innings. That being said, Montgomery was fairly consistent from 2021 to 2023, with an ERA in the mid-threes and a WHIP in the low ones. Montgomery has always thrived on good control, evidenced by his 6.8 percent career walk rate, but his fastball velocity is nothing to write home about (91.9 mph in 2024). Montgomery is still a ways away from becoming fantasy relevant at the MLB level, but definitely someone worth keeping an eye on in deeper formats or points leagues.

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin (forearm) is expected to begin rehab games within the next week, according to general manager Ben Cherington, assuming his progression continues without setbacks. Griffin has been sidelined since May 31 with a right forearm strain and has been working through his throwing program while rehabbing in Florida. The 20-year-old was beginning to heat up before the injury, hitting .317 over a 15-game stretch, which raised his season line to a .270 AVG and a .729 OPS. Expectations are sky-high for the first-round pick in the 2024 draft, as he is expected to return around early July.

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) is on track for a return on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers after being sidelined since June 1 with a right hamstring strain. The young phenom is fresh off a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville and has progressed nicely, beating his expected return timeline. The 24-year-old continues to improve in his fourth year in the league, with expectations remaining sky-high given the talent he possesses. De La Cruz is slashing .280/.346/.509 with an .855 OPS and 12 home runs in 58 games, while also adding 10 stolen bases with his blazing speed. He has seen a major jump in his average launch angle, which has helped fuel the highest slugging percentage of his career. The Reds will hope De La Cruz can pick up right where he left off as he continues to trend upward on all fronts.

Chicago White Sox slugger Munetaka Murakami (hamstring) continues to progress in his recovery from a right hamstring strain with increased baseball activity. Manager Will Venable said the 26-year-old is currently evaluated at around 80 percent, and he added that the club is seeing strong progress in his rehab. Murakami has been an elite power threat in his first season after coming over from Japan, slugging .560 with a .938 OPS and 20 home runs in 57 games before the injury. His presence has been central to the White Sox offense, and his current return timeline is set for late June to early July as he continues to ramp up.

Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff is set to rejoin the Brewers rotation on Monday against Cincinnati after recovering from a shoulder injury that sidelined him since May 1. Woodruff completed a successful rehab assignment with High-A Wisconsin and appears ready to return to the mound. The 33-year-old made six starts before the injury, posting a 3.60 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 30 innings. With a career 3.12 ERA, Woodruff remains one of the most reliable arms in Milwaukee's rotation when healthy. Now in his ninth season with the Brewers, the two-time All-Star will provide a major boost as Milwaukee continues its push in the NL Central.

Mariners outfielder Dominic Canzone (hamstring) exited Sunday's game against the Red Sox in the sixth inning with a reported hamstring injury. The 28-year-old showed clear discomfort while running out an RBI groundout and was removed immediately after the play. Canzone later said he expects to be fine and is not expected to miss significant time, as he traveled with the team to Pittsburg for their upcoming six-game road trip. He has been one of Seattle's most productive hitters this season, slashing .281/.353/.562 with a .915 OPS and 12 home runs. The 12 homers are already a career high, showing Canzone has taken a major step forward. The Mariners will continue monitoring his status, but the injury does not appear serious at this point.

Pirates right-hander Jared Jones (elbow) received a positive update after being struck by a line drive on Sunday, with initial imaging coming back negative. Jones is expected to undergo further evaluation on Monday, but the early results are encouraging for the 24-year-old flamethrower. Jones has struggled to find consistency this season after missing all of 2025 due to injury, posting a 5.75 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, and 21 strikeouts across five starts. His high-end potential remains clear, highlighted by a fastball that averages 99 mph. However, there is still no timeline for his return, and fantasy managers should monitor the situation closely.

Across 277 plate appearances entering play on Sunday, San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee had hit .331/.361/.462 with four home runs, 26 RBI, 39 runs scored, and four stolen bases. The 27-year-old is one of the hardest players in baseball to strike out (9.4% strikeout rate), which provides him with a solid batting average floor. Lee owns just a 2.5% barrel rate and a 30.4% hard-hit rate, so he's unlikely to provide fantasy managers with much power production. He's also not a significant speed threat, as his career high for stolen bases in a season is 10. Still, Lee is a consistent presence in the Giants' lineup who should provide fantasy managers with an excellent batting average and solid counting stats as long as he stays healthy. For rosters in need of batting average, Lee should be a priority waiver wire target.

From RotoBaller

Across 214 plate appearances this season entering play on Sunday, Detroit Tigers infielder Colt Keith had hit .261/.308/.382 with four home runs, 16 RBI, 27 runs scored, and three stolen bases. While Keith's season-long numbers do not jump off the page, he's slugged .553 and hit all four of his home runs across 41 plate appearances in June. Keith's 8.3% barrel rate and 42% hard-hit rate do not suggest high-end power upside, but his .429 xSLG still indicates that he's been unlucky in the power department in 2026. As the weather heats up in Detroit, Keith could bring some improved power production for fantasy managers. The 24-year-old may be worth targeting as a streaming option on the waiver wire in weeks where Detroit faces a run of right-handed pitching.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jack Leiter (ankle) has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a posterior impingement in his right ankle. The 26-year-old has been pitching through ankle issues since late April. However, his performance has taken a turn for the worse in recent weeks, as he's allowed 15 earned runs across his last 13 2/3 innings pitched (three starts). Leiter's overall line for the year is unimpressive, as he's recorded a 3-7 record with a 5.29 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 83 strikeouts across 80 innings (15 starts). Still, working around discomfort in his ankle may be a contributing factor in Leiter's struggles. If he's able to make a full recovery, Leiter carries some strikeout upside for fantasy managers upon his return. Rangers right-hander Cal Quantrill could be the favorite to assume Leiter's role in the starting rotation while Leiter is sidelined.

Miami Marlins catcher Liam Hicks (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a low back strain. Hicks was scratched from the Marlins lineup on Saturday with low back tightness, but it appears that imaging may have discovered a more serious issue. The 27-year-old has been a revelation so far this season for Miami, hitting .278/.359/.472 with 13 home runs, 53 RBI, 40 runs scored, and one stolen base across 288 plate appearances. He's drawn a walk in 10.1% of his plate appearances while logging just a 9.7% strikeout rate. Hicks has lined up at first base and/or designated hitter more often than he's been behind the plate in recent weeks, with Joe Mack handling the regular catching duties for Miami. Still, Miami selected the contract of catcher Brian Navarreto from Triple-A Jacksonville as the corresponding move to Hicks going on the injured list rather than calling up high-upside catcher Agustin Ramirez, whose defense behind the plate remains a question mark.
