Happy June, everyone! As the season rolls along, there may still not be a ton of help out there for us deep leaguers, but at least it seems like we’re seeing more roster movement lately. That may or may not be a good thing for your personal fantasy team, as players like Nick Castellanos, Jonah Tong, and TJ Friedl have recently lost their spots on an MLB roster. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Chase Burns (P - CIN)
6/5/26 10:01 AM - Sal Stewart: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player. Welcome back, everyone. Last week I looked at Chase Burns of the Cincinnati Reds as an Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player. This week I figured since I already discussed one Reds player, lets discuss a second Reds player. Sal Stewart burst onto the MLB scene last year when he hit five homers in 18 games and slugged .545. Not a bad way to introduce yourself to Reds fans. With that performance, fantasy owners were excited to see what Stewart would do this year, and so far he has been solid, hitting 12 homers and driving in 37 in 61 games. That is a pretty solid pace of 32 homers and 98 RBI for the season with 26 steals. So let's dive in and take a deeper look at Stewart.
