We should start seeing more reports of fantasy baseball prospects getting the call in the coming weeks. With the trade deadline approaching, organizations will begin reshaping their rosters and creating opportunities for some of baseball’s top young players.
Teams are also weighing service time considerations, especially for prospects they want to keep eligible for Rookie of the Year honors next season.
This week, we saw Luis Lara earn his promotion and graduate from the stash list. I also removed Karson Milbrandt and Ethan Pecko. Both could still reach the Majors this season, but their appeal is beginning to fade.
Milbrandt needs to get his command under control, and if he does, he could easily find himself back on this list next week. Pecko has allowed 10 earned runs over his last two starts. Even with Houston desperately needing pitching, they’ll likely look elsewhere for now.
With that, here are the Week 15 prospect stashes to consider.

Fantasy Baseball Prospects to Stash
Charlie Condon (1B, OF – COL) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: 75
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: July
Charlie Condon opened July in impressive fashion, launching two home runs and adding a triple before following it up with consecutive multi‑hit performances. As a result, it feels like he’s inching closer to a promotion.
The Rockies open the second half with six straight home games at Coors Field. What better place to introduce one of the organization’s premier hitting prospects? They also return home for another six-game homestand near the end of July. Coors Field is about as welcoming an environment as you could ask for when easing a young hitter into the Majors.
Joshua Baez (OF – STL) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: 65
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: June
Joshua Baez also started July with a bang, hitting two home runs on July 2nd. However, since then, his production has cooled. More concerning is that Baez has struck out 12 times in his last 10 games.
If Baez can get hot heading into the break, which he’s fully capable of, we could see him in the Majors by the end of the month. A single week of strong hitting could be enough to earn him a promotion.
If the Cardinals prospect is still available in dynasty leagues or deep redraft formats, especially five-outfielder leagues, he’s worth stashing from the waiver wire before the hype catches up.
Walker Jenkins (OF – MIN) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: 11
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: July/August
Walker Jenkins remains one of the highest‑upside prospects in baseball. Over his last 10 games, he has three home runs, four doubles, two stolen bases and a .386 average.
The Twins don’t need to rush him, but they also know Jenkins could provide an offensive spark in a playoff race where they sit just 2.5 games back. If he keeps swinging the bat well over the next couple of weeks, a late July or early August debut is very much in play.
Kade Anderson (SP – SEA) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: 6
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: July/August
Kade Anderson’s fastball has life, his secondary pitches miss bats and he continues to demonstrate advanced command for a young starter. He went six innings again in his last outing, striking out nine. Although Anderson did give up two home runs, something he hadn’t done since May, he remains firmly on the call-up radar.
If Seattle needs another arm later this season, don’t be surprised if Anderson gets serious consideration. As mentioned in past stash reports, Seattle likely won’t promote him to Triple‑A but instead will jump him straight from Double‑A to the Majors. If he’s still available in your leagues, now is the time to stash and wait.
Max Anderson (2B – DET) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: Unranked
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: July
Max Anderson quietly continues to produce quality at-bats. He’s hitting .357 over his last 10 games with four home runs and four doubles, and he has recorded a hit in nine of those 10 contests.
If he keeps stacking productive weeks together, Detroit could reward Anderson with a move up the ladder, putting him firmly on the fantasy radar. If you need infield help, he’s a worthwhile stash.
Ty Johnson (SP – TBR) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: Unranked
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: July/August
Ty Johnson continues to fly under the radar, but fantasy managers shouldn’t overlook him. He has recorded nine strikeouts in each of his last three starts, and Tampa Bay could use another arm in the second half. Johnson could fill a rotation spot or serve as a long-relief option.
Johnson has shown excellent command with a 0.99 WHIP and legitimate strikeout upside, posting 65 punhcouts in 49.1 innings. If you’re looking for an arm and not necessarily innings volume, Johnson is a worthy stash.
Additional Fantasy Baseball Prospects to Consider
Kemp Alderma (OF – MIA) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: Unranked
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: July/August
Kemp Alderman possesses legitimate raw power. When he gets hot, he can carry an offense for weeks, which makes him worth monitoring. He hit seven home runs in his first 20 Triple‑A games last season. He already has 13 home runs this season, with a .300 average and an OPS over .900.
Strikeouts are part of Alderman’s profile, but the power upside is real. If Miami moves veterans at the deadline, Alderman could quickly become one of the organization’s most interesting call-up candidates.
Max Clark (OF – DET) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: 7
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: July/August
Max Clark continues to show why he’s considered one of the top prospects in baseball. His elite athleticism, speed, defense and improving offense give him one of the highest ceilings among outfielders.
Clark has hit safely in nine out of his last 10 games, adding four stolen bases and a .300 average. More encouragingly, he has seven walks compared to just three strikeouts during that span.
Detroit doesn’t have to rush Clark, but another productive stretch could accelerate his timeline considerably.
Mitch Bratt (SP – ARI) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: Unranked
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: July
Mitch Bratt has quietly developed into one of the more polished pitching prospects in the minors. In Triple‑A, he has a 2.41 ERA and an impressive 0.96 WHIP.
Bratt made his MLB debut a few weeks ago after returning from the injured list (IL), but Arizona sent him back down to stretch him out. He has pitched four innings in each of his last two Triple‑A starts, tallying nine combined strikeouts. Bratt will likely make another two or three starts before being promoted again.
Bratt is firmly on the radar when another opening develops. For fantasy managers searching for pitching upside, he’s worth grabbing in deep leagues.
Ralphy Velazquez (1B, OF – CLE) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: 37
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: August
Ralphy Velazquez remains one of my favorite bats to stash. His power is legitimate, and he’s beginning to show the consistency needed to project as a middle-of-the-order hitter. Velazquez has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games with three home runs. He’s seeing time in the outfield, giving him another path to the Majors.
If Velazquez keeps producing and the Guardians need another offensive piece, he could find himself knocking on the Major League door sooner rather than later.
