Fantasy Baseball Prospects Report: Ranking the 10 best September call-ups, led by Lazaro Montes, Ethan Salas

Chances are we haven't seen the last major prospect call-up of 2026. Just because rosters have already expanded by two doesn't mean a Trey Yesavage or Bryce Eldridge won't arrive later, as happened last September.

But anticipating which ones and stashing them ahead of time feels like a poor use of roster space at this point. The remaining call-ups will be few and not so plainly telegraphed. Plus, a bumpy transition is to be expected. Even if you single out the correct prospect and time your pickup perfectly, at what point will you feel comfortable using him? Only three lineup locks remain.

Fittingly, I'll be forgoing the usual Five on the Verge, Five on the Periphery format for the short time that remains this season. I have some other angles in mind, though, including this one:

September call-ups. A few teams actually did use one (or both) of their extra roster spots on legitimate prospects. I'd like to highlight the top 10 of those here, ranking them by how useful they're likely to be to Fantasy Baseballers down the stretch.

At the risk of putting too fine of a point on it, the answer for all 10 is "not very."
