Walcott

Walcott will finish the year on the doorstop of the majors after going 4-for-11 with one homer and four steals during a three-game playoff series for Double-A Frisco, which wrapped up on Friday night. The 20-year-old phenom missed most of the year after undergoing elbow surgery back in the spring, but he’s looked like one of the top fantasy prospects in the game since returning back in mid-July. He’s hit .322/.398/.585 with nine homers and 11 steals in 171 plate appearances at the Double-A level this year. He has a chance to arrive in the majors at some point next season.

Walcott made a massive impact during the RoughRiders’ postseason run, which came to an end on Friday night, going 4-for-11 with one homer and four steals in their three-game playoff series. The 20-year-old prodigy missed most of the year after undergoing elbow surgery back in the spring, but looked like one of the top fantasy prospects in the game after returning, hitting .329/.404/.608 with 10 homers and 12 steals in 39 games.

Walcott missed a couple months at the outset of the year recovering from surgery to repair a UCL tear in his throwing elbow and has been limited to DH while playing for Double-A Frisco since late July. The 20-year-old shortstop is arguably a top-five overall prospect in dynasty formats thanks to his over-the-fence power upside and bat-to-ball skills. He figures to reach the majors at some point next year.

Walcott returns after spending just over one week with on the injured list after being struck by an errant pickoff throw on August 1. The 20-year-old top prospect has homered three times in 13 games since making his season debut back on July 17. He boasts one of the more intriguing fantasy skillsets of any prospect in the minors given his raw power upside and likelihood that he’ll stick at shortstop long-term.

Walcott was hit in the head by an errant pickoff throw during Saturday’s game. This sounds precautionary, but it’ll likely keep Walcott out for at least a week. The 20-year-old has been sensational since returning from his internal brace surgery, and has a chance to be an impact player for Texas in 2027, with an outside chance of reaching the bigs before the end of this season.

In nine Double-A games since coming back from internal brace surgery, Walcott has gone 14-for-37 (.278) with two home runs, nine runs scored, eight RBI, two steals, and a 1.101 OPS. The 20-year-old remains one of the top prospects in baseball, and it’s nice to see him not skip a beat after coming back from major surgery.

Walcott has hit the ground running in his return from elbow surgery, going 7-for-17 with two home runs and two steals in five games. He put on nearly 20 pounds of muscle while rehabbing the elbow, and that should only help his impressive power ceiling. He’s likely to finish the remainder of this season at Double-A, but he could begin next year in Triple-A with a chance at an early call-up.

Walcott returned to action at Double-A after getting a pair of games under his belt earlier this week in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League. The 20-year-old prodigy missed the first couple months of the season recovering from an internal brace procedure on his right elbow back in late February. He’s one of the top fantasy prospects in baseball and offers a significant power ceiling for a middle infielder.

Walcott is seeing his first game action since undergoing an internal brace procedure on his right elbow back in late February. The 20-year-old top prospect has been on a rocket ship towards the majors since signing with the Rangers back in 2023. He hit .255/.355/.386 with 13 homers and 32 steals in 552 plate appearances as a teenager at Double-A Frisco. He doesn’t offer massive stolen base upside, but he might have one of the highest power ceilings of any middle infield prospect in the minors.

Walcott is roughly two months removed from an internal brace procedure on his right elbow and isn’t expected to be ready to return to game action until at least mid-July. The 20-year-old shortstop remains one of the top fantasy prospects in the game but he’s highly unlikely to reach the majors until 2027.
