Eligibility
White Sox outfielder Yoelqui Cespedes has been added to the active roster of High-A Winston-Salem. He'll be in the starting lineup to make his minor league debut on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Cespedes's pro debut was delayed due to visa issues, but those have been sorted out now. He has slashed .287/.352/.416 with 12 home runs, 98 RBI, 37 walks, 129 strikeouts, and 11 stolen bases over 226 games of Cuban National League action. Cespedes signed a $2.1 million deal with Chicago this past January and is expected to make a quick rise through the levels of affiliated ball.
Yolequi Cespedes has officially been declared an international free agent.
Fantasy Impact
Yolequi, the younger half-brother of Yoenis Cespedes, is considered the top international prospect. The 22-year-old outfielder is considered a future five-tool player. Cespedes could sign as an international free agent but is always believed to be considering entering the June amateur draft as well as playing in Japan. Of course, a lot is up in the air when it comes to Major League Baseball right now.
