Please see our player page for Sal Stewart 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.

Hello, everyone. Glad to have you back for another installment of Up-and-Coming Dynasty Players. And if you are new here, welcome.

This week I am featuring Sal Stewart of the Cincinnati Reds. Drafted only three years ago, Stewart has quickly risen through the Reds’ system and made his major league debut on Sept. 1.

I will admit that I am biased toward Stewart as I have him in several of my dynasty leagues.

Let’s take a loot at Stewart to see why I like him so much.

With the rosters expanding from 26 to 28, we’ve seen a pile of promotions this week. A lot of them are depth pieces, but we saw some blue chippers, too. 

Freshly promoted Mariners C Harry Ford should get some run behind the plate and cover a few starts in the outfield. Cal Raleigh has tailed off a bit after the All-Star break and would likely benefit from a few more days at DH. In 97 games at Triple-A this year, Ford is slashing .283/.408/.460 with 16 home runs and seven stolen bases.

Rays LHP Ian Seymour made his first career start Monday after spending about six weeks in the bullpen. He allowed just two baserunners through five shutout innings, bringing his season-long ERA down to 3.18 with a 1.02 WHIP. At 26 years old with good command of a change-up first arsenal, he’s got a great shot to lock down a rotation spot for the stretch run, and because he’s under a rookie contract, he could look ideal to this front office as a cheap rotation piece for 2026 and beyond. He also gives this team multiple Seymours. Good vision incoming.

Yankees OF Spencer Jones (24) graduated Double-A last week and already has two home runs in three Triple-A games. It’ll be interesting to see how the club handles him during the trade deadline because he’s still striking out a lot (33.7% in AA), and the team doesn’t have much room at the inn. They’ve been benching Jasson Dominguez and Paul Goldschmidt at times since Giancarlo Stanton returned. Bit of a double-edged sword for dynasty players because Jones might be better off in an organization with more roster flexibility, but that would quash the dream of housing the 6’7” 240 lb lefty in Yankee Stadium.

Marlins RHP Adam Mazur (23, AAA) struggled as a rookie with the Padres last season and found himself and his 7.49 ERA on a flight to Miami. He’s been much better as a Triple-A pitcher this year than he was last year, posting a 1.29 ERA and 0.63 WHIP in three games covering 14.1 innings. He pitched to a 4.73 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 93.1 innings last year, so an off-season with a new organization has done him some good. Miami has Cal Quantrill and Connor Gillispie in the rotation right now, so you can’t exactly say Mazur is blocked. They’re actually playing .500 baseball right now in South Beach at eight-and-eight. Probably not wise to bet on that continuing, but I thought it might take them until May to collect eight wins. Griffin Conine, Kyle Stowers, Xavier Edwards and Matt Mervis are all playing well and creating some optimism in the Wins category for investors in fishy pitchers.

1. RHP Chase Burns | 22 | NCAA | 2025

Burns set a new single-season NCAA record with 191 strikeouts in 100 innings for Wake Forest. That’s the kind of math I can get behind. Seems like he’s striking out about two guys per innings, which seems like a good plan. His slider just isn’t something college hitters are used to seeing. Isn’t something any hitter is used to seeing, really. Plays like an 80 when he’s commanding it, which he usually is. Usually commands his 100 mph fastball well, too, and while he’s got a little Kirby in him in the sense that people hit his fastball more than makes obvious sense, he’s not doomed to that fate, given his incredible athleticism and clear growth arc across time.
