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.

Elite Plate Discipline and Steady Category Contribution Make Bregman a Safe Corner Infield Anchor

Alex Bregman enters another season locked in as the everyday starting third baseman and a vital cog in the heart of a potent Houston lineup. At this stage of his career, fantasy managers know exactly what to expect from the veteran infielder: reliable playing time, outstanding plate discipline, and a high floor that mitigates draft-day risk. His role is as secure as any in baseball, hitting in a run-producing spot that ensures plenty of opportunities to rack up counting stats.

Our season projection expects Bregman to accumulate over 530 at-bats, yielding nearly 20 home runs, 78 RBIs, and 80 runs scored. While his stolen base contributions remain a non-factor, his projected batting average of .259 and an elite .351 on-base percentage will elevate your team's ratios. This projection aligns closely with his career baseline, showcasing his ability to consistently walk nearly as often as he strikes out, making him especially valuable in OBP and points formats.

Ultimately, Bregman is a safe, high-floor investment at a premium position. He may lack the elite 30-homer upside of the top-tier third basemen, but his incredibly consistent output and durable track record make him an excellent target in the middle rounds of drafts to stabilize your offense.
