BALLER MOVE: Monitor in Deeper Leagues
CALL-UP ETA: July/August
ANALYSIS: Cleveland Guardians first baseman Kyle Manzardo made his MLB debut earlier this year on May 6. However, Manzardo struggled across his first 30 games, and the Guardians eventually optioned him down to Triple-A on June 18. The 23-year-old first baseman hit just .207 with 10 doubles and seven RBI.
Despite some rough at-bats in his first major league experience, Manzardo has looked solid at the plate since being optioned to Triple-A Columbus. In nine games there, the left-handed slugger has hit three home runs, one double, and nine RBI. If he continues to hit the ball well, the 23-year-old should find himself back in the majors by July or August.
Kyle Manzardo has 2 HR tonight in the 2nd game of Columbus' double-header.

Still, Manzardo is not necessarily worth a stash in most formats. He struggled in his first go around in the majors, and there are likely better stash candidates on the waiver wire right now. So, fantasy managers should just be monitoring him in deeper formats.
