A left oblique strain and a turf toe have limited Chisholm to 50 games in 2023. He is slashing .253/..312/.462 with 10 home runs, […]

Brayan Rocchio - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Brayan Rocchio, SS, Cleveland Guardians ANALYSIS: With Amed Rosario now out of town, the Cleveland Guardians have been rolling with Gabriel Arias and his current .205/.304/.317 slash line at the shortstop position lately. If he doesn't start showing some adequacy at the plate, it wouldn't be surprising to see Cleveland make the swap and bring up the more […]

He doesn't possess the upside of others on this list, but his ability to hit for average […]

Zach Neto Headed To Injured List

Los Angeles Angels infielder Zach Neto (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The rookie shortstop has been dealing with a lingering back issue for a few weeks now. The organization has decided to shut him down from baseball activities, so he can undergo treatment for his back. That being said, […]

Ronny Mauricio - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Ronny Mauricio, 2B/SS, New York Mets ANALYSIS: A player I'm beginning to have doubts about coming up soon is Ronny Mauricio. For starters, Mauricio has cooled off since his torrid April/May, slashing just .233/.293/.409 since June 1st. The power and speed have still been there however with nine home runs and seven steals over […]

Nico Hoerner Retreats To The Bench

Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner will take the day off on Friday as the team faces the visiting Atlanta Braves.

Masyn Winn - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Masyn Winn, SS, St. Louis Cardinals ANALYSIS: While the Paul DeJong trade didn't exactly send ripples throughout the baseball world, it does create a path to playing time for Masyn Winn this season. The unfortunate news of Brendan Donovan being out for the remainder of the season helps as well. Still, St. Louis might wait a few weeks […]

Jordan Lawlar Continues To Rebound From Slow Start

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Jordan Lawlar entered the season as arguably a top-10 prospect in baseball.

Trea Turner Drops Even Further In Batting Order

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in the lineup on Thursday against right-hander Johnny Cueto and the Miami Marlins in the series finale.
