Drew Gilbert is a fantasy baseball prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know for Week 7 (2024). Read MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies, call-ups.
PROSPECT: Drew Gilbert, OF, New York Mets
CURRENT LEVEL: Triple-A (Injured)
BALLER MOVE: Stash in Dynasty/Keeper Leagues
ANALYSIS: New York Mets outfielder Drew Gilbert (hamstring), the top prospect the Mets acquired from the Houston Astros in the Justin Verlander trade last summer, hasn't played in the minors since straining his right hamstring in the second game of an April 6 doubleheader for Triple-A Syracuse. Gilbert is still in the "strengthening phase" of his recovery process.
The #Mets' top two prospects are inching closer to their returns.

His timeline to return will depend in large part upon how well he responds to his running progression, but the Mets are hopeful he will be ready toward the end of May or beginning of June. The 23-year-old was hitting .240/.321/.360 in seven games with Syracuse before his injury. Gilbert, who was taken 28th overall by Houston in 2022 out of Tennessee, is ranked as the Mets' No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, so he deserves to be stashed in all dynasty/keeper leagues.
