As the MLB season progresses, several top prospects are making headlines as potential fantasy baseball assets. Zac Veen, Logan Henderson, and Caleb Durbin are three players who could significantly impact fantasy leagues moving forward.

Zac Veen, an outfielder for the Colorado Rockies, is known for his impressive speed and power but struggled in his early MLB appearances, leading to a demotion back to Triple-A. Despite a strong start in the minors, his major league stats raised concerns about his immediate viability for fantasy rosters.

Logan Henderson made a splash in his MLB debut with the Milwaukee Brewers, demonstrating potential as a solid starter. However, with a crowded rotation, his immediate future in the big leagues is uncertain, though he remains a prospect to monitor.

Caleb Durbin is another intriguing name, performing well since his call-up to the Brewers. His versatility and speed make him a sneaky option for those in need of stolen bases. While he may not contribute significantly in power categories, his batting average and base-stealing capabilities could be valuable for fantasy managers.

In a remarkable display of speed and strategy, the Milwaukee Brewers set a franchise record for stolen bases in a single game during a 14-1 rout of the Oakland Athletics. The team stole nine bases, breaking the previous record held since 1992. Logan Henderson, making his MLB debut, showcased his pitching prowess with five strikeouts and an impressive fastball-changeup mix. The offensive onslaught began with six steals in the first inning, leading to a commanding 4-0 lead.

Sal Frelick led the charge, tying the game record with his second steal before Caleb Durbin's successful second base steal solidified the new record. It appeared that Athletics starter Jeffrey Springs struggled to control the running game, prompting a balk that allowed another run to score. The Brewers' aggressive base running was a key factor in their victory, igniting excitement among fans and setting a benchmark for the season.

As April heads towards its conclusion, many fantasy baseball managers are looking to bolster their rosters. This week’s waiver wire adds focus on under 40% rostered players who are making waves. Chandler Simpson, with undeniable speed, might not bring power but can significantly impact stolen bases. Pavin Smith is on fire, boasting an impressive .408 batting average and standout power metrics, making him a must-add for those in need of offensive boosts, especially against right-handed pitching.

Caleb Durbin is stepping up for Milwaukee, offering potential steals and a solid batting average, while Heston Kjerstad is warming up for Baltimore, showcasing power with three homers in six games. Carson Kelly has become a crucial asset in the Cubs lineup, leading catchers with a remarkable start. Lastly, pitchers Chase Dollander and Andrew Abbott are proving their worth, providing solid strikeout numbers that could help elevate fantasy rotations.

Caleb Durbin has officially joined the Milwaukee Brewers as their primary third baseman, making him a noteworthy addition for fantasy baseball players. With only 6% of leagues currently rostering him, now is the time to consider adding him, especially in deeper formats. Durbin is recognized for his exceptional speed, demonstrated by his impressive stolen base records in the minors—29 stolen bases in 32 attempts last season and three in five attempts this season. He also offers a solid batting average, hitting .287 in Triple-A last year.

As he makes his MLB debut batting ninth, Durbin's speed can bolster your fantasy team significantly. If he gets on base regularly, expect him to score runs and potentially move up the lineup. With projections suggesting he could finish the year with 10+ homers and 30+ stolen bases, he presents a compelling case for a waiver wire pickup this week.

Roman Anthony, the highly touted Boston Red Sox outfield prospect, has ignited excitement among fantasy managers with a stellar start at Triple-A Worcester. At just 21 years old, Anthony demonstrated his potential by hitting two home runs in his second game, contributing to an impressive .344 batting average and .982 OPS over 35 games last season. Despite being rostered in less than 2.5% of ESPN leagues, many believe he is a player worth investing in, as his performance could soon lead to a call-up, especially if he continues to dominate in the International League.

Other notable minor league players include Kansas City Royals' Jac Caglianone, who has power potential but may struggle with consistency, and Arizona's Jordan Lawlar, known for his speed rather than power. Baltimore's Coby Mayo is looking to improve after a disappointing stint in the majors, while Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer offers solid defensive skills and moderate power. Recent draft pick Travis Bazzana with the Guardians is expected to make his mark, while the Orioles' Sam Basallo and Brewers' Caleb Durbin also hold promise for fantasy relevance in the coming seasons.
