Braden Montgomery - Chicago White Sox

Montgomery is up 3.26% so far today, and he sits at 16.44% overall.

Montgomery is the No. 21 prospect in all of baseball, and was called up on Monday. He was the 12th overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft.

The 23-year-old is a 55-graded player overall, with his best tool being his arm (70). He has a 60 for power and then 50s for hitting, running and fielding.

Across parts of two years in the minor leagues, Montgomery had a .284 average and .381 on-base percentage. He had 187 total hits, including 22 home runs, 47 doubles and seven triples. Montgomery also has 109 RBIs, 116 runs scored, 96 walks, 194 strikeouts and 19 stolen bases.

He hit sixth and started in right field for his MLB debut on Monday. Montgomery got five plate appearances, and finished with two hits, three RBIs and a run scored. He hit a walk-off two-run homer in the 10th inning.

It was a thrilling debut for Montgomery, who showed why he has so much hype around him. Chicago is going to play him daily, so that makes Montgomery a fantasy asset to be intrigued by.

I like adding him in some more deeper leagues today. If he keeps producing, expect his own percentage to keep rising. In time, he could be worth pickups in standard leagues, and some might be happy to add him today in those leagues, so don't wait too long if you want to add Montgomery.

Jac Caglianone - Kansas City Royals

Caglianone is rostered in about 45% of leagues at this time.

He posted three hits in his last appearance, including a pair of home runs. Caglianone has hit pretty well across seven games this month, tallying 10 hits, seven RBIs, five runs scored, two stolen bases and five walks and strikeouts in those contests.

Caglianone has a .261 average and .338 OBP over 61 contests and 222 plate appearances this season. He has 52 total hits, including 10 doubles, eight homers and a triple. Caglianone has 18 RBIs, 23 runs scored, three stolen bases, 20 walks and 65 strikeouts.

The primary right fielder (who could be eligible at first base as well) is hitting better of late, so he's worth some fantasy attention. I like him most in deeper leagues right now, but if the highly-touted hitter keeps rolling at the plate, he could get back into standard leagues, so everyone needs to be keeping tabs on him.

Cole Carrigg - Colorado Rockies

Carrigg has been added in 1.6% of leagues, bringing his overall mark to 9.03%.

Carrigg isn't a top-100 prospect, but he is ranked sixth for the Rockies, so he's got some decent expectations. The 24-year-old was drafted 65th overall in 2023.

His best tool is his arm (70). He has a 60 in running, 55 in fielding, 50 in power and 45 in hitting for a 45 overall grade.

Carrigg has played in parts of four minor league seasons, and has looked his best in Triple-A this year. That led to the Rockies calling him up on Monday. In 331 career minor league games, he had a .283 average, .359 OBP, 200 RBIs, 255 runs scored, 136 walks, 142 stolen bases and 317 strikeouts. He has 59 doubles, 43 homers and 30 triples among his 367 total hits.

Carrigg started in center field and hit seventh for the Rockies on Monday. Across four plate appearances, he had a hit (a triple) and a walk. He also struck out once.

Carrigg is a guy to add in some deeper leagues today, but he'll need to produce to be added in even more of those leagues. He's not as highly regarded as Montgomery, so Carrigg will really need to show he belongs in the big leagues before he gets into all deeper leagues and then gets standard league consideration.

Gabriel Moreno - Arizona Diamondbacks

Moreno is owned in 51% of leagues, which is much higher than the 20% mark he was at on May 18.

He has three hits over his past two games. Moreno has homered in each of those games, and has three RBIs, two runs scored and walks and no strikeouts in those contests.

The Arizona catcher has a .257 average and.335 OBP on the season, which are below his career marks - he's been trending up for a couple weeks though, and that's why his own mark is on the rise. Over 42 games and 161 plate appearances, Moreno has 22 RBIs and runs scored, three stolen bases, 16 walks and 30 strikeouts - he has 36 total hits, including nine doubles and five home runs.

Moreno is hitting pretty well of late, but between not playing daily and some inconsistency, he's not a huge fantasy asset in standard leagues. I like him most in deeper leagues, then utilizing him as a streaming option in standard leagues while he's in hot stretches.
