Fantasy Baseball Prospects to Stash: Edwin Arroyo, Jonah Tong, Emmanuel Rodriguez
Edwin Arroyo (SS – CIN) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: Unranked
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: Late-May/Early June
Edwin Arroyo is having one of the best offensive seasons in Triple‑A and is putting real pressure on Cincinnati. He’s hitting .338/.406/.979 with seven home runs and five stolen bases in 157 at-bats, ranking among league leaders in total bases.
With Sal Stewart, Ke’Bryan Hayes, and Matt McLain all struggling, Arroyo’s path is wide open. He’s already on the 40‑man roster, so only a simple 26‑man move stands in the way. If you need infield help, he’s a must‑add stash.
Jonah Tong (SP – NYM) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: 40
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: May
Jonah Tong has been one of the most dominant minor‑league pitchers over the last two seasons and is knocking on the door again.
Tong has 52 strikeouts in 36.1 innings with a .178 opponent batting average, and currently leads the minors in strikeouts. The command remains inconsistent, but the stuff is electric. His last two outings:
- 6.0 innings, one hit allowed, zero earned runs allowed
- 5.0 innings, two hits allowed (1 home run), eight strikeouts and four walks
The Mets prospect likely needs a couple more clean outings, but a “perfect” start could push Tong over the top. If you have room, stash him; the strikeout upside is too big to ignore.
Emmanuel Rodriguez (OF – MIN) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: 62
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: Late-May/Early June
Before landing on the injured list (IL) with a thumb injury on May 6th, Emmanuel Rodriguez was hitting .247/.417/.923 with six home runs in 81 at-bats. He has legitimate 30‑home run upside and is especially valuable in OBP formats.
The injury doesn’t sound serious, but it will delay his debut. If Rodriguez were dropped in your league, he’s absolutely worth adding. Even buying low via trade could pay off.
Once healthy, Rodriguez could get hot quickly and force Minnesota’s hand. He has real second-half league-winner potential.
