Outlook Braden Montgomery
Top prospect Braden Montgomery tearing up Triple-A, looming as high-upside stash for White Sox
Though Montgomery has yet to debut in the majors, our data shows him tearing up Triple-A, where he is slashing .299/.372/.486 with 10 home runs. The second-place White Sox (34-31) are currently dealing with several outfield injuries, including Austin Hays and Everson Pereira. Montgomery is not yet on the active major league roster, but his arrival feels imminent.
With no major league track record or active projections, we must rely on his minor league dominance and elite raw power to project his rest-of-season value. While rookies often face an adjustment period against big-league breaking stuff, his high-walk, high-power profile makes him a premier stash candidate whose raw power could provide a major boost to fantasy lineups.
Chicago plays six home games this week against Atlanta and the Dodgers, featuring challenging matchups against aces Chris Sale and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. While Montgomery remains in the minors for now and will not face these pitchers, his high-upside profile makes him a must-stash player in competitive formats. Verdict: Hold.

Outlook Blaze Alexander
Hot-hitting utility man Blaze Alexander offers short-term spark amid infield injuries
Blaze Alexander is locked in, batting .406 with two homers and 11 RBIs over his last 14 days. With starting third baseman Jordan Westburg out for the season, the fourth-place Orioles (31-35) have leaned on Alexander's hot bat. Though he is listed as a backup utility infielder on the depth chart, his recent performance has earned him regular opportunities.
Do not expect this elite production to last, as our models project a .231 rest-of-season average and nine total home runs, which aligns with his career .234 average. While a regression to the mean is coming, his defensive versatility and current momentum make him a useful asset while he remains locked in at the plate.
Baltimore has seven home games this week, starting with a tough series against Seattle's rotation, including Emerson Hancock and his 2.80 ERA. Fortunately, matchups ease up later against San Diego, featuring a prime opportunity against Griffin Canning and his 6.34 ERA. Ride the wave and stream him in deeper formats.
