  "textContent": "Welcome to Diamond Diplomas! Whether you compete in the deepest of dynasty leagues or want to win the office redraft title, Prospects Live has you covered. Before we dive in, here is a quick overview of the tier system. Both the hitter and pitcher lists feature three “tiers” of prospects. These tiers loosely correspond to the PLive Dynasty prospect rankings of these players relative to one another, but the author (yours truly) will often place and move names to better reflect both their real-time dynasty value and their potential for major league fantasy production in 2026. For an overview of the tier system used to prioritize players in this series, take a look at the first article in this season’s series here:\n\nDiamond Diplomas 3/31/26: A Quero’s JourneyLucas Morel (@theprospectprof) delivers a rundown of all the players getting their caps and gowns ready for graduation to the major leagues. Class is in session, time to find out who you need to add to your roster or watch list this week.Prospects LiveLucas Morel\n\nCheck out the standout performers from the past week in the latest Report Card (all statistics courtesy of _Baseball Reference, Baseball Savant_ , _Fangraphs, ProspectSavant.com, Milb.com, and TJStats_ , updated as of the conclusion of play on April 6):\n\n## Report Card\n\n### **Called Up** :\n\n  * Konnor Griffin, SS (PIT): The baseball world did not have to wait long for its top prospect to get the call to the majors, as Griffin made his big league debut for the Pirates this past Friday. Still just 19 years old, he has the power and speed potential of an absolute superstar. While an adjustment period is to be expected as the shortstop acclimates to MLB-caliber pitching, he should be rostered in all formats due to his immense fantasy upside.\n  * Logan Henderson, P (MIL): Henderson stepped in to start game two of the Brew Crew’s doubleheader on Saturday. His final line may not look like much, but it is worth noting that the righty seems to be the next man up for Milwaukee if Brandon Sproat continues to struggle in the rotation. Hold on in dynasty, but feel free to drop Henderson in redraft until he rejoins the big league roster on a more permanent basis.\n  * George Klassen, P (LAA): The Angels never shy away from turning to their top prospects when the major league squad needs help, so Klassen’s call-up on Easter came as little surprise. The 24-year-old showed he knows how to miss bats, punching out four batters in just two and 2/3 innings, but four walks highlight his questionable command as well. Klassen did not immediately get optioned back to the minors after his debut, implying that he will see at least one more turn through the rotation. Redraft managers should watch and wait for the time being, while dynasty managers can feel cautiously optimistic that the former Phillies draftee will see significant time in the majors in 2026.\n  * Cade Povich, P (BAL): Povich got squeezed out of the Orioles rotation by their flurry of off-season acquisitions, and started the season in Triple-A, but he has now rejoined Baltimore to work out of the bullpen. He provided five and 2/3 innings of two-run baseball on Sunday after Chris Bassitt got shelled for the first two innings. While this was a solid performance from the southpaw, he will likely remain in a long-relief role for the foreseeable future, which limits his fantasy value.\n  * Tyler Uberstine, P (BOS): Uberstine made his MLB debut out of the bullpen over the weekend and was saddled with the loss, unfortunately, despite being responsible for only one of the eight runs that the Red Sox pitching staff allowed. Boston sent him back down to Triple-A following the game, where he will most likely continue to bide his time until the big league roster needs a fresh arm to eat some innings.\n\n\n\n### **Locked In** :\n\n  * Jasson Domínguez, OF (NYY): For as strong as the Yankees have looked through their first nine games, Domínguez has nevertheless made quite the case for a call-up at the plate in Triple-A. His outfield defense needs work to say the least, but his two homers, two steals, and a 1.110 OPS serve as a reminder of his exceptional fantasy potential should he earn an everyday role in a lineup as loaded as New York’s. The second he rejoins the Yankees, he should be scooped up in redraft formats. All but the most win-now of dynasty managers likely ought to hold on to their shares as well.\n  * James Tibbs III, OF (LAD): No human on the planet is seeing the baseball as well as Tibbs right now. Fresh off a “One to Watch” appearance in this article series last week, the 23-year-old somehow got even better over the last seven days, slugging five home runs to bring his season total to seven in just nine games played. The stellar performance of the Dodgers’ current outfield three is the only reason why a call-up for Tibbs does not appear imminent. Still, expect him to get a look in Los Angeles just as soon as they need reinforcements.\n  * Rece Hinds, OF (CIN): If you are like me, seeing Rece Hinds on this list has you feeling a bit like Obi-Wan Kenobi in _Star Wars:_ _A New Hope_ : “Now that’s a name I have not heard in a long time.” Yet here he is, raking to start the 2026 campaign. Hinds did his best James Tibbs III impression over the past week, crushing four home runs and driving in ten runs altogether. The Reds already carry two reserve outfielders on their roster, but Hinds just may hit his way into the mix if he keeps this up.\n  * Didier Fuentes, P (ATL): After making just one bullpen appearance for the Braves following his sparkling spring training, Fuentes returned to Triple-A last week and dominated immediately. The righty notched seven strikeouts over three and 2/3 shutout innings, conceding just one hit. The Braves' rotation has already been decimated by injuries, so Fuentes will likely spend much of this season in the majors if he keeps up the good work in the meantime.\n  * Payton Tolle, P (BOS): Like Fuentes, Tolle (and his fantasy managers) must have been disappointed that he began the season in Triple-A, but his most recent start should put Boston’s front office on notice. The mustachioed lefty tossed six innings and gave up two runs (one earned), while striking out seven batters and walking just one. The Red Sox have struggled mightily out of the gate in 2026, so turning to Tolle for rotation help may be the play if Brayan Bello keeps pitching poorly.\n  * Kohl Drake, P (ARI): Drake looked excellent in his first outing of 2026, logging five no-hit innings with five strikeouts to just two walks. More on him later, but suffice it to say that Arizona should have no problem finding a rotation spot for the former Rangers draftee later on this season.\n\n\n\n### **Dropped Off** :\n\n  * Max Anderson, 2B (DET): Though no context has been given, Anderson landed on the injured list on April 5 after not having played since March 31. Until he comes back healthy, he loses his Diamond Diplomas status.\n  * Santiago Suarez, P (TB): Despite finishing his 2025 by making two solid starts with Triple-A Durham, Suarez wound up getting assigned to Double-A Montgomery to begin 2026. This delays his probable timeline for a big league call-up enough to warrant his removal from the Diamond Diplomas list for now.\n  * Yoniel Curet, P (PHI): Curet has yet to make his first start for a Phillies affiliate after they acquired him from Tampa back in December. Though he finished 2025 in Triple-A, his transaction log shows a somewhat surprising Single-A assignment for the right-hander to kick things off this season. Evidently, he will need to prove himself in his new organization before earning a promotion to the upper levels.\n\n\n\n## Sign up for Prospects Live\n\nYour one stop shop for Dynasty Fantasy Baseball, MLB Draft, Baseball Card & MiLB Baseball content.
