It’s the MLB All-Star break this week and other than the top stars, most players are off. With the break, we also got the Futures Game, which featured some of the best young players in MLB farm systems. Here we’re going to recap the game a bit while also checking in on how some of the top prospects have fared in the first half of the 2026 season and what it means for fantasy baseball dynasty leagues.MLB.com Rank: No. 72 overallAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe Rays had two prospects participate in the Futures Game. One is a top-10 overall prospect on MLB.com. The other, is Flewelling, who won game MVP after belting a two-run HR in the sixth in his only at-bat. The 19-year-old has a ways to go before reaching the majors but is worth monitoring for fantasy considering the lack of talent Tampa Bay has at the catcher position. Flewelling has a plus-bat with 16 homers in High-A.OF Theo Gillen is the top-10 prospect we alluded to earlier in this section. He’s flown up the prospect board after raking in High-A, hitting .342 with a 1.038 OPS (12 HRs, 44 RBI) before being promoted to AA. He had an RBI in the Futures Game.Play Derby Pick ‘Em: Make your picks for tonight’s big eventMLB.com Rank: No. 2 overallAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWe’ve talked about the No. 1 overall prospect, Brewers SS Jesus Made, previously in this series. The other elite SS prospect came over to the Athletics as the centerpiece of the Mason Miller trade to San Diego. A year ago, De Vries played for the NL while in the Padres system. In his second Futures Game appearance, De Vries flashed speed with a pair of stolen bases after a single to open the game.De Vries should get a taste of AAA before the end of 2026 and will be a threat to be called up next season. The A’s could use his speed; the team leader in SBs so far this season is Henry Bolte with 11. Given Jacob Wilson’s regression and the lack of base-stealing threats, De Vries could be making a fantasy impact as early as 2027.MLB.com Rank: No. 5 overallAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAnderson has had to weather a tumultuous road throughout his baseball career. He’s been able to work his way back from Tommy John surgery in high school and became the best pitching prospect in college before being drafted third overall by Seattle in 2025. He started for the AL in the Futures Game, working a clean inning.In the minors, Anderson is the ERA leader in the Texas League (AA) at 1.36 with 108 strikeouts to just 10 walks in 14 starts. It’s only a matter of time before he’s promoted to AAA and we could even see Anderson get a taste of the big leagues when rosters expand in September. The Mariners have underperformed this season but are still in the hunt for the AL West title. Seattle may need to make room for Anderson to jump into the rotation next season if he keeps this up.MLB.com Rank: No. 4 overallAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementNot to upset any non-Dodgers fans here but the franchise not only is stacke
