Justin Foscue DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Texas Rangers first base prospect Justin Foscue went 2-for-4 with a home run during Tuesday's contest against Triple-A El Paso. This was Foscue's second long ball in his previous three contests. This was also his third-straight contest tallying at least one RBI. Through 30 games at Triple-A this season, Foscue has posted an impressive .307/.409/.500 slash line with seven doubles, five home runs, and a 25:20 K:BB. Last summer, Foscue made his MLB debut and tallied just two hits across his first 15 contests. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he should be in the mix to return to the major leagues later in the summer. If he continues to hit for power at Triple-A, the 26-year-old could eventually earn a permanent role on the MLB roster.

The Texas Rangers reassigned pitcher Emiliano Teodo, infielder Justin Foscue and pitcher Luis Curvelo to minor-league camp on Wednesday, according to general manager Chris Young. Teodo is ranked as the team's No. 6 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, while Foscue checks in at No. 15. The 24-year-od Teodo will continue his development as a starting pitcher in the minors in 2025 after impressing in spring training by throwing 4 1/3 shutout innings with six strikeouts and one walk. However, the hard-throwing right-hander arguably has a higher fantasy ceiling as a potential closer if he's eventually moved to a bullpen role. Teodo hits triple digits with his fastball and can also get swings and misses with his slider and changeup. Foscue, 26, continues to fall as a prospect after going 2-for-42 in the big leagues in 2024 and then posting a .631 OPS this spring.

The Texas Rangers have demoted infield prospect Justin Foscue to Triple-A Round Rock. The club's No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline was recalled last week and went 1-for-17 with limited playing time. Without much of an opening in the Rangers lineup, it made the most sense for Foscue to get everyday at-bats in Round Rock. The infielder dealt with an oblique injury that has sidelined him for most of the season, but he is a valuable utilityman when healthy. He can still get a chance with the Rangers later this summer, but managers shouldn't expect much out of him without a frequent role in the lineup.
