Cincinnati Reds catching prospect Alfredo Duno is a name to monitor in dynasty formats ahead of the 2026 regular season. Duno is currently listed as the team's No. 2-ranked prospect on MLB.com and the overall No. 48-ranked prospect on MLB.com. Duno joined the Cincinnati system in 2023 and has continued to show high upside at the lower levels. He made his professional debut in 2023 in the Dominican Summer League, where he held a .303/.451/.493 line with a strong .944 OPS. This past season, he spent the entire campaign with Low-A Daytona, where he posted an impressive .287/.430/.518 slash line with 32 doubles, 18 home runs, and six stolen bases. Given his solid play last summer, managers should expect Duno to spend most of 2026 with High-A.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have officially invited infield prospect Tommy Troy to MLB spring training. Troy was a fast riser in the system last season and is now in a great position to compete for a role on the Opening Day roster in 2026. Troy began the 2025 campaign with Double-A Amarillo and held a .286/.382/.461 slash line with 20 doubles, 12 home runs, and 21 stolen bases. He was then bumped up to Triple-A Reno to close out the campaign, where he continued to perform at a high level. Through 38 games, Troy held a .295/.381/.429 line. He posted an .810 OPS with three home runs and three stolen bases. Currently, Troy figures to compete for a utility role in the infield, serving as a backup option to third baseman Nolan Arenado or shortstop Geraldo Perdomo. He is a name to watch in deeper formats given his five-category upside.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have invited top outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt to big league camp. Waldschmidt is considered the team's top-ranked prospect on MLB.com and the overall No. 66-ranked prospect in the sport. Waldschmidt joined the Diamondbacks in the 2024 Draft and is now knocking on the MLB door. Last summer, the Kentucky product began the season in High-A but reached Double-A by the second half. Through 68 games with High-A, Waldschmidt held a .268/.415/.447 slash line with 13 doubles and nine home runs. During his first taste of Double-A, the outfielder took a step further, holding a stellar .309/.423/.498 line with a .921 OPS. Given Arizona's current outfield, Waldschmidt is a name to closely monitor as he could be in the mix to jump Triple-A and begin the season in the major leagues.

According to Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com, the Pirates are unlikely to pursue a reunion with infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa in free agency. Demillio reported that a reunion between both sides appears to be "unlikely for several reasons." While the Pirates were unable to strike a deal with Eugenio Suarez ahead of his signing with the Reds on Sunday, they remain active in the market in looking to bolster their infield ahead of spring training. Currently, Jared Triolo and prospect Nick Yorke are slated to cover the hot corner at the start of the season. Kiner-Falefa has had multiple stints in the Steel City during his career. Last season, Kiner-Falefa held a .262/.297/.334 line across 138 contests split between the Blue Jays and the Pirates. If he were to find a suitor, he would only be worth targeting in AL/NL-only leagues due to his defensive versatility.
