Each week we will try to give a quick update on each of the top-40 minor leaguers that could help out in the fantasy game in 2019. Of course, there is an element of uncertainty with all of this as we never quite know when a team will decide to call up a youngster or if that role will be of the full-time variety. We will do our best each week to give you a quick reference guide.
| 2019 Prospect Report | TEAM | POS | COMMENT | |
| 1 | Vladimir Guerrero | TOR | 3B | He’s 2-for-8 at Single-A, but should move to AAA soon and the bigs before the end of the month. |
| 2 | Nick Senzel | CIN | Player | He’s out of the walking boot and will attempt to join the big league club by the end of the month. |
| 3 | Kyle Tucker | HOU | OF | Six Ks in 10 at-bats as he looks to put the disappointment of not making the team behind him. |
| 4 | Justus Sheffield | SEA | SP | Rough first outing allowing two homers, five walks and four runs over 4.2 IP. |
| 5 | Forrest Whitley | HOU | SP | Only 137.1 innings in his professional career with 203 Ks and just seven homers allowed. |
| 6 | Brendan Rodgers | COL | SS | Has a .500 SLG in four games. If that injury to the calf of T. Story proves to be serious… |
| 7 | Austin Hays | BAL | OF | The luster is coming back with Hays. All he needs to do is to stay within himself. Currently has hand issue. |
| 8 | Bo Bichette | TOR | SS | He’s off to a slow start the first week, but it won’t matter in the long run. Lots of offense is coming. |
| 9 | Logan Allen | SD | SP | Blasted in his first outing 7 R (6 ER). He can pitch, and will start for the Pads this season. |
| 10 | Anthony Alford | TOR | OF | He was up, and the demoted when Socrates Brito was acquired. Already has six Ks in four games. |
| 11 | Dennis Santana | LAD | SP | The walks can be an issue. He could start or be used in long relief by the Dodgers this year. |
| 12 | Keston Hiura | MIL | 2B | Been off in the early going with 11 Ks in 17 ABs. Make no mistake, he can rake. |
| 13 | Willie Calhoun | TEX | OF | He has walked six times in four games leading to a .444 OBP. Just needs a spot, and an attitude adjustment. |
| 14 | Dylan Cease | CWS | SP | Dominant armwith 377 punchouts in 286 innings. Reports surfaced that Sox tried to sign him to a long-term deal. |
| 15 | Jesus Luzardo | OAK | SP | Luzardo still working on overcoming his health issue. He’s targeting a MLB debut near A.S. Game. |
| 16 | Nick Madigral | CWS | 2B | Starts with Winston-Salem and hopes to end with the White Sox. Can rake. |
| 17 | Yusniel Diaz | BAL | OF | Two RBI, two BBs last game. He’s good everywhere, but not great anywhere. |
| 18 | Sixto Sanchez | FLA | SP | Looking to make his first start. Could come quickly with athleticism and dominant stuff. |
| 19 | Cal Quantrill | SD | SP | Had a shot at rotation spot, but underperformed, much like he did most of last season. |
| 20 | Austin Riley | ATL | 3B | Has two homers and five Ks in four games. Seems about right. |
| 21 | Nick Gordon | MIN | SS | Still on the DL with gastritis, but shouldn’t be there too long. |
| 22 | Luis Urias | SD | 2B | Hasn’t sulked with a .333/.400/.556 line in four games. |
| 23 | Mitch Keller | PIT | SP | Uncharacteristically walked five his first time out. Watch Jordan Lyles… Keller is close. |
| 24 | Michael Soroka | ATL | SP | Five shutout/hitless innings with seven strikeouts in his first outing. |
| 25 | Jonathan Loaisiga | NYY | SP | Big arm who walked three in four innings in first start. Will see time in NY, but might be out of pen. |
| 26 | Griffin Canning | LAA | SP | Pitchability if off the charts. Sharp first outing (5 K, 0 ER, 5 IP). |
| 27 | Yordan Alvarez | HOU | 1B/OF | Blazing with four homers and a 1.614 OPS in four games. |
| 28 | Brendan McKay | TB | SP | Sent to Double-A. The arm could be used this season. Career – .187 BAA and 11.35 K/9 in 98.1 IP. |
| 29 | Kolby Allard | ATL | SP | A phone call away at AAA. He’s got a 2.93 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and .245 BAA in 65 starts. |
| 30 | Ian Anderson | ATL | SP | Seven Ks in his first outing, unsurprising given he has 286 in 246 career innings. |
| 31 | Sean Murphy | OAK | C | He has two walks and four hits in three games. He could come quickly. |
| 32 | Monte Harrison | FLA | OF | Has the talent to be a 20/20 performer, but massive contact issues. Dealing with a wrist injury. |
| 33 | Casey Mize | DET | SP | Likely could get outs right now, but the Tigers will be patient. |
| 34 | Zack Collins | CWS | C | Three homers, seven RBI and a 1.748 OPS in his three outings. |
| 35 | Touki Toussaint | ATL | SP | Walked four in an abbreviated first outing. Still searching for that stable third offering. |
| 36 | Triston McKenzie | CLE | SP | Will await a return from an upper back strain. Hoping to start throwing in a week or two. |
| 37 | Kevin Newman | PIT | SS | Hit .302/.350/.407 in 109 AAA games last year. No power, but stole 28 bases. |
| 38 | Chris Shaw | SF | OF | Had 24 homers and a .505 SLG in 101 AAA games. Has power, but lots of swing and miss. |
| 39 | Luiz Gohara | ATL | SP | Threw just 77.2 innings last year and allowed 44 ERs leading to a 5.10 ERA. |
| 40 | Stephen Gonsalves | MIN | SP | Could be AAAA player. In 24 AAA outings he is 10-5, 3.44 ERA and 1.26 WHIP. |
