Last week, three prospects (Kyle Schwarber, Michael Conforto, and Aaron Nola) and their current major league situations were outlined and profiled for fantasy baseball managers. This week, updates on Schwarber and Conforto will be given, as something has changed about their current major league situation. Aaron Nola will receive no follow up, as his situation remains the same: Nola is more than likely going to remain in the Phillies rotation for the rest of the year. Also this week, three more r[...]Keep on reading: Recent Prospect Call-Ups and The Fantasy Value

This article references A, Aaron Nola, C, Cole Hamels, David Ross, Jerome Williams, Kyle Schwarber, Michael Cuddyer, Miguel Montero, OF, RB, Sean O'Sullivan, SP, SS, TE and more! It's that time of year when teams think about testing their prospects in the majors. Part of this comes with the trade deadline. The other component bolstering a playoff push or simply making the game a little more interesting for fans of lousy teams. This is a game changing time in the season for fantasy baseball managers as well, as many of these prospects have the potential to give rosters a much needed boost in offensive production. Today, three recently called up prospects, and their win[...]Keep on reading: Prospect Call-Ups: Conforto, Nola, Schwarber

This next month is going to tell a lot about the future of Kyle Schwarber. With Miguel Montero injured, Schwarber will be tasked with catching (not all the time however). This is his opportunity to prove to Cubs management that he can catch at the MLB level. His defensive skills will not be great, but if they are at least average or even just slightly below average, his bat could very likely keep him in the Majors for the rest of the season. And if you haven’t picked up Aaron Nola yet, yo[...]Keep on reading: MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Rankings for Fantasy (Week 16)

This article references A, C, Kyle Schwarber, OF, RB, SP, SS, TE and more! BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 team leagues or deeper OWNED IN: 47% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: It took an injury to get him back up to the bigs, but Kyle Schwarber has returned. He was impressive in his first cup of coffee and continued to showcase his ability in his first game back. Schwarber picked up right where he left off, going 3-for-4 with a run scored against the Braves. He obviously won't bat .423 for the rest of the season, but it's very clear this guy can flat out hit. He likely wo[...]Keep on reading: Kyle Schwarber (C, CHC) – Waiver Wire Pickups

This article references A, C, Kyle Schwarber, Miguel Montero, OF, RB, SP, SS, TE and more! BALLER MOVE: Pick up in all formats OWNERSHIP: 35% of ESPN Leagues ANALYSIS: Kyle Schwarber's first stint in the majors was short lived, but oozed with top-prospect potential. The young Cubs catcher made the most of his 23 June plate appearances, notching 8 hits en route to a .364 AVG, 6 RBI and 1 HR across only five full games, numbers highlighted by a 4 hit, 2 RBI performance in his major league debut on June 17. He's been in the minors ever since, a product of a deep Cubs' roster. Wi[...]Keep on reading: Kyle Schwarber (C, CHC) – Waiver Wire Pickups

The Chicago Cubs' young catching prospect won the award, but it has a rather dubious history.

This article references A, Aaron Nola, Adam Duvall, Alex Guerrero, Alex Meyer, Andrelton Simmons, Andrew Heaney, Anthony Gose, Brian Johnson, Cameron Maybin, Carlos Correa, Chad Bettis, Christian Walker, Cole Hamels, Corey Seager, Daniel Norris, Domingo Santana, Dylan Bundy, Henry Owens, Jace Peterson, Jameson Taillon, Jimmy Rollins, Joe Kelly, Joey Gallo, Johnny Cueto, Jose Berrios, Jose Peraza, Justin Turner, Kyle Gibson, Kyle Schwarber, Marco Gonzales, Mark Reynolds, Matt Olson, Matt Wisler, Michael Lorenzen, Miguel Sano, Mike Leake, Mike Pelfrey, Nick Markakis, Noah Syndergaard, Phil Hughes, Rick Porcello, Ricky Nolasco, Robert Stephenson, SP, Stephen Piscotty, Steve Matz, Trevor May, Zach Lee and more! Just a quick heads up about two of the names on this list. Domingo Santana is still listed even though he's on the active roster. He's expected to be sent down once Jacob Marisnick returns from a short DL stint. It's a similar story with Kyle Schwarber. He will be sent down on Monday. Removed from the list • Matt Wisler – called up   Major League Ready Prospect Power Rankings: 1.

Hoes, Manny Machado, Mark Appel, Preston Tucker, SP and more! Several top prospects are currently in the middle of brief stints in the Majors before returning to Triple-A. Those prospects would be Kyle Schwarber and Domingo Santana. Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein has confirmed that no matter how well Scwarber performs, he will be sent down. Santana has a chance to earn some more playing time, but it likely is temporary while Colby Rasmus is on bereavement leave.   Dan Black (1B, CHW, Triple-A) Stats: .324/.457/.568, 6 HR, 0 SB[...]Keep on reading: Minor Leagues Spotlight: Top Fantasy Prospects from Week 10
