Another week is in the books, and we’ve already seen a fresh wave of fantasy baseball prospects promoted. Robby Snelling (Marlins), Ryan Waldschmidt (Diamondbacks) and A.J. Ewing (Mets) have officially begun their MLB careers.
We also added new names to the stash list, only to immediately remove one, as Henry Bolte forced his way to Oakland after hitting .348 with 12 home runs and 17 stolen bases in just 37 Triple‑A games.
Both Ewing and Bolte debuted on Tuesday, and both are worth monitoring closely. If you need outfield help, they’re high-reward speculative adds.

Fantasy Baseball Prospects to Stash
Below is the updated list of prospects to stash for Week 7. The players listed below could make their MLB debuts sooner rather than later.
Colt Emerson (SS – SEA) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: 7
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: May/Early June
The wait continues. After signing a contract extension with Seattle last month, it felt like Colt Emerson’s promotion was imminent. Instead, we’re still waiting, and he hasn’t exactly kicked the door down.
Emerson is currently hitting .252/.340/.798 with six home runs and nine stolen bases in 131 at-bats. Solid numbers, but not the type that force a team’s hand. It’s important to remember that Emerson is only 20 years old with just over 150 Triple‑A plate appearances.
An injury in Seattle’s infield might be the clearest path to a call-up, unless Emerson goes on a heater and makes the decision easy. For now, we wait.
Cooper Ingle (C – CLE) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: 87
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: Late-May/Early June
Cooper Ingle is a catcher with elite plate discipline and one of the hottest bats in Triple‑A. He’s hitting .351 with a 1.192 OPS, including seven extra‑base hits and a remarkable 23:18 walk-to-strikeout ratio in 21 games.
This is Ingle’s first Triple‑A stint, which likely explains Cleveland’s decision to trade for Patrick Bailey, as they may want Ingle to get more seasoning. But his track record is undeniable: Three straight seasons with more walks than strikeouts and a career on-base percentage (OBP) north of .400.
Even with modest power, a catcher who gets on base like this is a cheat code in deep leagues and two‑catcher formats.
Luis Lara (OF – MIL) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: Unranked
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: July
Luis Lara is a speed-and-defense center fielder who has taken a major offensive leap in 2026. His Triple‑A line: .315/.414/.523, seven home runs and 12 stolen bases in 38 games.
This is his first year at the Triple-A level, and he hasn’t reached 150 at-bats yet, so Milwaukee will likely be patient. He’ll need to keep hitting for another month and may still need an injury or a slump of a player ahead of him to open a spot.
Lara has 30 stolen bases upside with strong OBP skills. In deep leagues, especially five‑outfielder formats, he’s a worthy speculative stash.
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.
Additional Prospects to Consider
David Davalillo (SP – TEX) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: Unranked
- Current Level: Double-A
- ETA: June
David Davalillo doesn’t overpower hitters with velocity, but he has six pitches he can locate anywhere in the zone. He has 36 strikeouts in 23.1 innings with just eight walks this season.
Davalillo is only in Double‑A, but he’s already on the Rangers’ 40‑man roster. Texas may want to avoid sending him to the hitter‑friendly Pacific Coast League (PCL), so skipping Triple‑A is a real possibility.
Josh Stephan (SP – TEX) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: Unranked
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: Late-May/June
Josh Stephan is thriving in the PCL, which is no small feat. He has a league-leading 48 strikeouts in 35 innings with a 4.37 ERA. Stephan is a deep-league-only stash for managers looking for strikeouts with low walk rates.
Nestor German (SP – BAL) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: Unranked
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: Late-May/June
Nestor German has 47 strikeouts in 35.2 innings with a 3.79 ERA. His arsenal features a fastball/curveball/slider/splitter mix and above-average command.
Over his last 11 innings, German has allowed one run, one walk and 16 strikeouts. If he keeps this up, Baltimore could call him up soon.
Ryan Clifford (1B – NYM) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: Unranked
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: June
Ryan Clifford is a power‑hitting corner bat with improving contact skills. He’s hitting .252/.327/.800 with seven home runs in 131 at-bats, but the strikeout rate (30%+) needs work.
Still, Clifford has 25-30 home run potential. If the Mets need offense, he’s one of the first names they’ll consider.
