Hello everyone, and welcome to my weekly Top-30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies! In this series, I will be going over the top prospects in baseball and discussing which ones figure to have an impact for the rest of this fantasy baseball season. The San Diego Padres made the biggest prospect splash over the past week, promoting Luis Urias to the big-league roster. With one of the best hit tools in the minors, Urias figures to have an incredibly high fantasy floor and could develop into an [...]

Hello everyone, and welcome to my weekly Top-30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies! In this series, I will be going over the top prospects in baseball and discussing which ones figure to have an impact for the rest of this fantasy baseball season. It just doesn't seem right. The rain comes in and ends Michael Kopech's start early. He was absolutely electric during his first two innings of work, even if not particularly pitch efficient. The movement on his fastball was insane and the slider l[...]

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Austin Hays (ankle), who was out for two months with a lingering ankle injury, returned to Double-A Bowie this week. Hays took the time off to refocus mentally and mechanically, and he seems to be in a much better place with his approach at the plate. He's hitting .223 with six home runs, 22 RBI and five steals in 54 games with Bowie and Single-A Aberdeen this year, but he could be a September call-up as the team's No. 4 overall prospect. Hays should be monit[...]

Hello everyone, and welcome to my weekly Top-30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies! In this series, I will be going over the top prospects in baseball and discussing which ones figure to have an impact for the rest of this fantasy baseball season. The season is really starting to wind down. There are only going to be three more of these lists coming out before the rosters expand to 40 players. But until then, there is still plenty of important prospect names to follow. Though most of the pl[...]

Hello everyone, and welcome to my weekly Top-30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies! In this series, I will be going over the top prospects in baseball and discussing which ones figure to have an impact for the rest of this fantasy baseball season. What a crazy week it has been! The trade deadline passed with several more notable names being shipped off, several top prospects featured highly on last week's list — including Tyler O'Neill and Kolby Allard — have since been promoted and Vl[...]

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Austin Hays (ankle) will start his rehab assignment with Short-Season Aberdeen on Friday, while outfielder Craig Gentry (rib) will begin his on Monday with Single-A Delmarva. With the O's in rebuild mode and looking to trade off more pieces before the July 31 non-waiver deadline, both Hays and Gentry could see regular playing time in the second half. Hays is the team's No. 4 prospect, so he obviously has more upside and appeal in fantasy leagues.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (ankle) has done baseball activities at Double-A Bowie the last couple of days and is improving. He will join Single-A Aberdeen soon on a minor league assignment. Hays last played for Bowie on May 24, so he's been out a while. MLB.com lists Hays as the team's third overall prospect, so he's definitely an outfielder of the future. He hit just .217 with one home run and eight RBI in 60 at-bats with the Orioles earlier this year, but he could see decent pla[...]

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Austin Hays (ankle) received an injection this week and will take a week off before resuming baseball activities. Hays is the team's No. 2 prospect, according to MLB.com. He's played in just 43 games with Double-A this year due to injury, though, while he's hit just .224 with six home runs, 18 RBI, five steals and 22 runs scored for Bowie. It's unclear if he'll be an option for the floundering Orioles in the second half of the season, but he'll definitely nee[...]

Hello everyone, and welcome to my weekly Top-30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies! In this series, I will be going over the top prospects in baseball and discussing which ones figure to have an impact for the rest of this fantasy baseball season. There have been tons of injuries lately. However, some of the top guys are starting to come back. Both Shohei Ohtani and Ronald Acuna have returned from their injuries. You will notice that the rookie rankings have been reflected to show that with [...]
