Please see our player page for Nolan McLean 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.

Note: Anyone promoted during the current season is ineligible for the stash list.

1. Orioles C Samuel Basallo (20, AAA)

I’ve given Baltimore a lot of guff in this space over the last few years for how they manage their roster, but this delayed promotion is easy to understand. Basallo turns 21 on August 13, so even though the bat was ready, and the roster had a clear need behind the plate, they had every incentive to hold Basallo back and give him a shot at rookie of the year in 2026. He’s got 23 home runs in just 72 Triple-A games and would be my pick for best fantasy rookie if selecting today.

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! Wow! It’s been a full week since I wrote something up and, to be honest, it feels like I’ve been gone for a month. I hope you’ve all been doing well as we head into the dog days of summer and have managed to find some time to chill out (literally […]

Graduated from Stash List #7: Buy Tong In Time For Grilling Season: Adrian Del Castillo 

Note: Anyone promoted during the current season is ineligible for the stash list.

1. Cardinals SS JJ Wetherholt (22, AAA) 

2B Nolan Gorman has a 101 wRC+ despite a 30.1 percent strikeout rate, and he’s been hot since the calendar turned to June. He’s hit eight of his nine home runs since then, posting a 134 wRC+ despite still striking out an awful lot: 32.5 percent. The team already has something of an extra bat in C Yohel Pozo, but they’re in the wild card race. They’d make the playoffs if they started today, and JJ Wetherholt would be part of the Cardinals’ best playoff roster, so somebody’s going to lose some playing time sooner than later. Wetherholt went 4-for-5 with two doubles on Friday night, his fourth game in Triple-A, where he’s hitting .500 and slugging 1.000.

Graduated from Stash List #6: Chase’s Fire or Colby Jacks Cheese: Chase Burns, Brady House, Harry Ford.

Note: Anyone promoted during the current season is ineligible for the stash list.

1. Guardians OF Chase DeLauter (23, AAA)

Slashing .314/.434/.500 with three home runs and more walks (17.9%) than strikeouts (12.3%). If I have to pick just one of these guys to swing some standings the rest of the way, it’s DeLauter by a mile. Cleveland might drag their feet a bit, but they’ve struggled like crazy to keep this guy on the field, and it makes sense to get him on a big league travel and rest schedule as soon as possible now that he’s locked in. Plus, it takes a while these days for young guys to adjust. Best to get him going now so he can help in August and beyond.
