Fantasy Baseball Prospect Report

Cantillo had a 2.35 ERA in 15 1/3 innings out of the pen, though that was largely because five of the nine runs he’d allowed were unearned. One imagines the Guardians will stretch him back out now to have him available as a rotation alternative. He threw a season-high 55 pitches on Sunday, so he wasn’t going to be available for a couple of days anyway.

It’s certainly more of an opinion than a fact, but Buscaglia writes that Kincaid “can be the single-most important key to giving the Bills a different element to their game.” Perhaps more notable is the fact that Kincaid is healthy after dealing with “ill-timed injuries” last season, which includes but are perhaps not limited to a knee injury that led to him missing four regular season games. Kincaid caught 73 passes for 673 and two touchdowns as a rookie in 2023, but was limited to just 44-448-2 across 13 games last season. Kincaid was selected 25th overall by the Bills two seasons ago and will hopefully have more to offer in his third season. A more reliable role could have him on the fantasy radar as a low-end TE1 after he ranked 11th amongst TE in points as a rookie.

It’s the first stint in the majors for Strowd, who, in spite of a 5.44 ERA as a minor league reliever last year, was added to the 40-man over the winter. Considering that he had an 8.10 ERA in 10 innings for Norfolk to open this year, one imagines it will be a short stay. The Orioles will need to make another move Tuesday with Kyle Gibson expected to be added.

Wolfram pitched both days he was with the Orioles and gave up two runs over 1 1/3 innings.

Reunited with Jaxson Dart! Wells (6’1/201) is a fifth-year senior with stops at three college programs. He began at James Madison, catching 83 passes for 1,250 yards and 15 touchdowns as a sophomore. Transferring to South Carolina before his junior year, Wells tallied 68 receptions for 928 yards and six scores before playing just three games his fourth year. He transferred to Ole Miss for a final 28-catch, 553-yard season with six touchdowns. With 19.8 yards per reception last season, Wells showed strong vertical ability. He lacks clean routes and his production dwindled in his final college years, but Wells has a good frame and the physicality to contribute at the end of a pass-catching rotation in the NFL.

The Nationals have James Wood DHing and Alex Call in the outfield. Bell, a notoriously slow starter, has hit .140/.238/.290 through 105 plate appearances. It’s been enough to pull his career OPS in March/April under .700 to .698. He’s over .800 every other month except for September, when he’s stumbled to .745.
