As Week 14 of the fantasy baseball season rolls in, several prospects are making waves, and savvy fantasy managers should take note. Colson Montgomery, Chicago White Sox's shortstop, has shown resurgence with a .500 batting average last week, hitting four home runs and driving in eight RBIs. Meanwhile, Boston's Connelly Early has been dominant on the mound, boasting a 1.94 ERA across Double-A starts, highlighted by a six-inning shutout recently. In Tampa Bay, Colton Ledbetter is making a compelling case for a promotion with a .522 average and solid power numbers. Other notable names include Robby Snelling of the Miami Marlins and John Peck of the Detroit Tigers, both showcasing their talents in the minors and generating buzz for potential major league call-ups.

Stashing the right prospects can significantly impact your fantasy baseball season. Joe Boyle, now with the Tampa Bay Rays, showcases impressive Triple-A stats, boasting a 1.85 ERA and 96 strikeouts in 73 innings. He could emerge as a valuable asset should the Rays’ rotation face injuries. On the other hand, Arizona Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar, despite his potential, is sidelined with a hamstring strain. His stellar minor league performance includes a .319 AVG with significant power and speed, suggesting he could be a difference-maker when healthy. Lastly, Philadelphia Phillies' Justin Crawford is on the rise, currently batting .335 with 26 stolen bases in Triple-A. With the Phillies in a playoff race, he may soon be called up, offering a high batting average and speed in fantasy lineups.

The Tampa Bay Rays have recently faced a setback, experiencing back-to-back losses against the Oakland Athletics, who sit at the bottom of the standings. After a strong six-week surge, the Rays were poised to capitalize on opportunities to ascend in the wild-card race but instead have dropped four of their last five games. Despite key contributions, including a game-tying homer from catcher Danny Jansen, the team failed to secure a win, with missed chances in crucial moments leading to their downfall.

Pitcher Shane Baz showcased his talent, striking out 11 batters and holding the Athletics to just a couple of runs, but even his dominant performance couldn't save the Rays from defeat. As they look ahead, the team must address the lack of timely hitting that has plagued them in recent games. Moving forward, they aim to reset and regain their competitive edge against division rivals while navigating the remaining games of the season.

As the MLB season progresses, it's crucial to monitor lineup changes that can impact player value. For the Baltimore Orioles, Ramon Urias is stepping up at third base while Jordan Westburg recovers from a finger injury. If Westburg's time on the IL extends, Urias could become a regular starter, impacting fantasy strategies.

In Boston, Jarren Duran's batting position against lefties has been altered, dropping him from leadoff due to performance concerns. Meanwhile, David Hamilton may see more time at second base, complicating playtime for others in the lineup.

The New York Yankees' Ben Rice is on the verge of gaining catcher eligibility, an important factor for fantasy leagues. With Giancarlo Stanton's return limiting Dominguez’s play, monitoring these changes is vital for strategizing lineup placements.

The Tampa Bay Rays have introduced Chandler Simpson, whose speed could be a factor for those in need of stolen bases. Meanwhile, Jose Caballero has seen less playtime due to performance issues.

For the Toronto Blue Jays, George Springer’s increased DH appearances could affect his fantasy value, especially with outfield competition intensifying. Lastly, the Chicago White Sox's Michael Taylor has become a regular starter while Luis Robert is injured, presenting an opportunity for deep-league fantasy managers.

The MLB presents an exciting slate on Canada Day, highlighted by the Yankees and Blue Jays matchup at 3:07 pm EDT. A total of ten games will kick off at 7:05 pm, setting the stage for fans and DFS players alike. Among the top pitchers, Yoshinobu Yamamoto stands out, facing the White Sox, while Jacob deGrom and Matthew Boyd also enter favorable matchups. Boyd is well-priced against a struggling Guardians offense, while Shane Baz, at a similar price point, faces the A's. For value picks, Colton Gordon and Emerson Hancock could offer solid returns given their matchups.

On the hitting side, stars like Julio Rodriguez and Randy Arozarena are in good form, facing Michael Lorenzen, whose strikeout rate has dipped. Stacking options abound, especially with the Atlanta offense against Tyler Anderson and Houston's matchup in Coors Field against Chase Dollander. Both provide intriguing choices for bettors looking to capitalize on the day's action.
