MLB teams promote top prospects to active rosters for September stretch

Major League Baseball organizations have utilized September roster expansions to call up several prospects, including Lazaro Montes of the Mariners and Ethan Salas of the Padres. These additions, while high-profile, are expected to see limited roles as teams evaluate talent for future seasons. Montes debuted with a 407-foot home run for Seattle, though his high strikeout rate remains a focal point for scouts. Salas enters the Padres organization as the youngest catcher to reach the major leagues since 1991, though he is currently designated for depth roles. Meanwhile, Yohandy Morales earned a spot with the Nationals and saw immediate playing time as a designated hitter. Fantasy managers are advised that despite the individual talent, most of these prospects offer minimal immediate contribution for the remainder of the season due to inconsistent playing time.
