Prospects in MLB are always a hot topic in fantasy baseball, and this episode highlights several players recently called up and their impact on rosters. Jacob Misarowski is the standout with an impressive performance since his arrival, showcasing both velocity and command, indicating he could be a future ace. However, expectations must be tempered as the league will inevitably adjust to him. Marcelo Mayer has struggled, and it may be time to drop him in non-keeper leagues due to underwhelming statistics. Kagleó Curts and Nick Curts provide contrasting narratives of promise and established performance, respectively. Finally, stashing prospects like Zebbie Matthews and Ivan Herrera could offer long-term benefits, while veterans like Yu Darvish and Dylan Cruz are set to return from injury, presenting intriguing options for fantasy managers.

Ronald Acuña Jr. showcased his remarkable return to form, hitting two home runs in his first two games back, including an impressive 467-foot shot with an exit velocity of 115.5 mph. His strong performance has led to his ranking as a top 15 player across fantasy formats. However, concerns about his stolen base potential linger as he may not replicate his previous speed after a torn ACL.

Tarik Skubal also stole the show with an incredible two-hit shutout against the Padres, achieving a Maddox by completing the game in under 100 pitches, while striking out 13 batters. His ability to adapt and evolve following a Cy Young-caliber season raises questions about his long-term fantasy value.

The weekend also saw significant news as the Red Sox promoted top prospect Marcelo Mayer. With Alex Bregman sidelined, Mayer's performance in the minors has made him a hot add, as he looks to capitalize on his opportunity.
