Impact Fantasy Baseball Prospects Ready To Shine: Junior Caminero, Jasson Dominguez, Dylan Crews

It's Week 19 of the MLB season, and while we have seen plenty of rookies called up this season already, there are still some big names who are currently in the minors and could lead to a fantasy championship

This week we will look at top prospects such as Junior Caminero, Jasson Dominguez, and Dylan Crews.

These are players who have such massive potential that they should be stashed in all but the shallowest of leagues. Caminero and Dominguez have gotten a brief taste of the big leagues last season but have been limited by injuries this summer. Crews was taken with a top pick in last year's draft and has recently moved up to Triple-A.

Junior Caminero - 3B, Tampa Bay  Rays

Level: Triple-A Durham
Availability: 29% rostered
2024 stats: 42 G, .265/.323/.488, 10 HRs, 27 RBI, 24 R, 1 SB

The top prospect in Tampa Bay looked to be on the fast track to the big leagues earlier this season as he carried a strong .261/.33/.478 slash line with eight home runs, and 24 RBI through the first 34 games of the season at Triple-A Durham. This was his first look at the top level of the minor leagues and the third baseman was clearly adjusting quite well.

However, in late May, the 21-year-old hit the injured list with a grade two left quad strain. This injury kept him sidelined until the first week of July.

In a brief rehab assignment in the Rookie League, Caminero launched three home runs and held a .824 SLG.

The budding superstar recently returned to Durham on July 20 and has held a dominant .281/.273/.531 line with two round-trippers through his first eight games.

We've found a good luck charm, @DurhamBulls...

The Rays also recently sold outfielder Randy Arozarena and third baseman Isaac Paredes at the deadline which opens up plenty of at-bats for Caminero. He should remain stashed in all leagues going forward.

Jasson Dominguez - OF, New York Yankees

Current Level: Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Availability: 27% rostered
2024 AAA stats: 11G, .356/.383/.556, 2 HRs, 5 RBI, 7 R, 2 SB

Dominguez made his major league debut late last summer and showcased his elite potential to be a five-category contributor by holding a .258/.303/.677 line with four home runs and one swiped bag across eight games. Unfortunately, he underwent Tommy John surgery which kept him sidelined for most of the first half of this season.

However, shortly after he returned to Triple-A in June, he suffered another injury, this time to his left oblique which kept him on the injured list for another eight weeks.

Dominguez returned on July 26 and has tallied at least one hit in his first two games. The injuries have prevented the switch-hitting center fielder from having a big season but he could still make a significant impact later this summer.

He is a potential league-winning outfielder that should be stashed in all formats. If the Yankees continue to struggle, Dominguez can provide a much-needed spark to their lineup.

Dylan Crews - OF, Washington Nationals

Level: Triple-A Rochester
Availability: 10% rostered
2024 stats: 29 G, .246/.326/.421, 4 HRs, 15 RBI, 17 R, 5 SB

The former number two overall selection in last year's draft began the season at Double-A and needed just 51 games to move up to the top level of the minor leagues.

Through 51 games at Double-A Harrisburg, Crews posted a .274/.343/.446 line with five long balls and 15 swiped bags.

Crews has continued his solid play through his first look at Triple-A. Since July 5, the LSU product has carried a .259/.377/.466 slash line.

The Nationals recently traded Lane Thomas to the Cleveland Guardians. This opens an everyday spot in their outfield for Crews. The 22-year-old should have a strong chance of getting a brief taste of the majors towards the end of the summer which could open the door for a big 2025 season.

However, even if he only gets a limited sample size, Crews has high potential and could provide a solid amount of speed and power down the stretch.
