Elmer Rodriguez
Please see our player page for Elmer Rodriguez to see projections for today, the next 7 days and rest of season as well as stats and gamelogs designed with the fantasy baseball player in mind.
I’m only half Jewish — as Henry Hill would say, the good half — but I heard Cade Cavalli went 6 IP, 2 ER, 10 baserunners, 10 Ks, ERA at 3.82, and I started Cade Kvelling. Who is this, do we know his mishpocha? Can we send them some macaroons? Are they allergic to coconut? […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yankees OF Jasson Dominguez was slashing .326/.415/.478 with three home runs and eight stolen bases through 24 Triple-A games when the Bombers recalled him to replace the injured Giancarlo Stanton. This marks the fourth straight season Dominguez has spent time with the major league club, and he’s still just 23 years old. His strikeout rate was all the way down to 15.1 percent alongside a 12.3 percent walk rate. Maybe it won’t ever happen for the Martian, but this feels like a good opportunity for him to break out.

Yankees Hoping El-Rod’s The Master Of Leveling Up
April 28, 2026 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 257 Commentsby: Grey
Elmer Rodriguez will be called up by the Yankees to start on Wednesday, as their rotation gets reshuffled, likely anticipating the return of Carlos Rodon. I believe the Yankees are doing the right thing calling up Elmer to offset the severe lack of Uncle Elmer in the Hogan doc on Netflix. Uncle Elmer drank raw […]

Prospect News: Top 75 For 2026 Dynasty Fantasy Baseball
February 1, 2026 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Featured | 18 Commentsby: The Itch
51. Astros RHP Tatsuya Imai | 27 | NPB | 2026
Imai has been dominant in Japan since 2022 when he was 24 years old with a 2.04 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. 2025 was his best season yet. He recorded a 1.92 ERA and 0.89 WHIP, representing a big leap forward in command. His walk rate of 2.5 per nine innings was a full walk better than his previous career-best mark of 3.6. Imai generates these results on the back of a fastball-slider combination against righties with a splitter against lefties. Houston’s still having a lot of success with pitchers, and I’m betting that continues with Imai. You can move him up this list in deeper leagues or win-now windows.

1. OF Spencer Jones | 24 | AAA | 2026
At 6’7” 240 pounds from the left side, Jones is a fantasy darling for his combination of power and speed. The 25th overall pick in the 2022 draft, he came just one steal shy of a 30/30 season in 116 games across two levels in 2025, slashing .274/.362/.571 with 35 home runs, 29 stolen bases and a 35.4 percent strikeout rate. That last piece might not matter much given how much impact Jones makes on contact, but it creates enough doubt to keep me skeptical, despite what his ranking here suggests. The upside is just too enticing and near to ignore.
