Cincinnati Reds outfield prospect Hector Rodriguez provides a good stash option while at Triple-A Louisville, for fantasy managers looking to add a high-impact power bat. With the Bats, the left-handed swinging 22-year-old has 17 home runs and 49 RBI this season while hitting for a solid .292 batting average. His .909 OPS shows off his power skills, and he has even added six stolen bases this season at the top level of the system. Should the Reds decide to look his way, Rodriguez could bring some of that power to the notoriously hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park. Fantasy managers in deeper 12+ team, five-outfielder leagues should act now to acquire Rodriguez and reap the rewards later in the season.

Chicago White Sox right-handed relief pitcher Grant Taylor offers fantasy value even without a full-time closer role. Across 37 2/3 innings, the 24-year-old is 2-0 with two saves, five holds, a 2.39 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 53 strikeouts. Taylor has been especially effective over his last 15 appearances, recording a 2.14 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and 28:4 K:BB across 21 innings. Seranthony Dominguez remains Chicago's primary closer, while Bryan Hudson is also part of the late-inning mix, so Taylor should not be treated as the unquestioned ninth-inning option. However, his strikeout production and strong ratios give him standalone value in saves-plus-holds formats, and he would be a logical candidate for more save chances if Dominguez continues to struggle (six earned runs over his last 11 frames). Taylor remains available in most Yahoo leagues at a 21% roster rate, making him an appealing bullpen pickup for fantasy managers seeking immediate strikeouts with the potential to earn saves.

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery has produced modest results since reaching the majors, but his prospect pedigree and everyday role make him an appealing proactive waiver-wire target. The 23-year-old is batting .231/.268/.385 with one home run, four RBI, five runs, and a .653 OPS over his first 39 MLB at-bats. Chicago promoted Montgomery after he batted .314/.422/.548 across 56 games between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte, including a 15-for-34 run during a nine-game hitting streak immediately before his call-up. The White Sox have committed to playing their No. 2 prospect regularly, primarily in right field, giving him a secure opportunity to work through his early adjustment. Montgomery's swing-and-miss tendencies create some batting-average risk, but his raw power and strong minor-league production give him considerable breakout potential. Montgomery is rostered in just 20% of Yahoo leagues, making him a worthwhile proactive pickup in 12-team formats or deeper.

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Luis Lara is doing everything he can at Triple-A Nashville to encourage a promotion to the major leagues. The outfielder is hitting .313 with 56 runs, seven homers, 30 RBI, and 20 stolen bases across 67 games of action. That power-speed combination should play at the big league level (.873 OPS in 246 at-bats). The Brewers have shown an ability to get the most out of all types of players in Milwaukee, and Lara profiles as another player who could thrive at American Family Field. With the Brewers beckoning, Lara is a name to target in the waiver-wire process, and he could provide immediate dividends for fantasy managers. Additionally, earlier in June, the Brewers inked the top-100 prospect ot a seven-year contract extension, signaling his long-term role on this roster. Entering Week 13, Lara profiles as a top outfield prospect to stash as he is on the trajectory to compete for an MLB debut in the coming weeks.
