Braden Montgomery Fantasy Stats

Chicago White Sox right fielder Braden Montgomery has not delivered the home-run burst fantasy managers hoped for after his June 9 promotion, but there is enough here to justify a waiver claim. The 23-year-old is batting .244/.315/.415 with two homers, 12 runs, and eight RBI through 82 at-bats. He has also remained in the lineup, appearing 23 times in right field and once in center. Before the call-up, Montgomery hit .314/.422/.548 with 10 homers and 41 RBI over 210 minor-league at-bats. MLB Pipeline gives his power a 60 grade, and his first MLB sample includes a 90.0 mph average exit velocity and 43.5% hard-hit rate. The catch is a 62.9% ground-ball rate, which has kept too many hard-hit balls on the ground. Montgomery is rostered in 15% of Yahoo leagues and is worth adding in 12-team formats, matching RotoBaller's latest recommendation.

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery is starting to settle in after a memorable walk-off homer in his June 9 debut. He went 2-for-4 with an RBI against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday, June 27, and launched his second big-league homer three days earlier. Through 57 at-bats, the 23-year-old is hitting .246 with two homers, eight RBI, and 10 runs. Chicago is giving Montgomery enough runway to work through his growing pains. He hit .314/.422/.548 with 10 homers, 41 RBI, 52 runs, and five steals across 56 games between Double-A and Triple-A before his promotion, while his 25.4% strikeout rate in the majors shows the adjustment is not finished. He is rostered in 17% of Yahoo leagues, ranks 27th in RotoBaller's Week 14 waiver rankings, and carries an add recommendation in 12-team leagues. The everyday role and prospect pedigree make him a worthwhile upside bet before his price climbs.

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery has produced modest results since reaching the majors, but his prospect pedigree and everyday role make him an appealing proactive waiver-wire target. The 23-year-old is batting .231/.268/.385 with one home run, four RBI, five runs, and a .653 OPS over his first 39 MLB at-bats. Chicago promoted Montgomery after he batted .314/.422/.548 across 56 games between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte, including a 15-for-34 run during a nine-game hitting streak immediately before his call-up. The White Sox have committed to playing their No. 2 prospect regularly, primarily in right field, giving him a secure opportunity to work through his early adjustment. Montgomery's swing-and-miss tendencies create some batting-average risk, but his raw power and strong minor-league production give him considerable breakout potential. Montgomery is rostered in just 20% of Yahoo leagues, making him a worthwhile proactive pickup in 12-team formats or deeper.

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery debuted to plenty of fanfare last week, and he turned plenty of heads in his MLB debut against the Atlanta Braves, going 2-for-5 at the plate, including a walk-off home run. The White Sox's No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, followed up his noteworthy debut with a 2-for-4 performance last Wednesday with two doubles in a win over the Braves. The 23-year-old switch-hitter and former 12th overall pick by the Boston Red Sox in 2024 out of Texas A&M University has gone 5-for-19 with a homer, four RBI, and four runs scored in his first 20 plate appearances in the big leagues for a rising young White Sox club. Before getting the call to the South Side of Chicago, Montgomery hit an impressive .314/.422/.548 with a .970 OPS, 10 homers, 13 doubles, three triples, 41 RBI, 52 runs scored, and five steals in 56 games with Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte. He should see regular playing time in his rookie campaign, and he can contribute for fantasy managers in multiple categories right away. There aren't many better young outfielders with this amount of upside than Montgomery, and he's available in more than 60% of Yahoo leagues.

Chicago White-Sox 2024 first-round pick, MLB's No. 23 prospect, and the organization's No. 2 prospect, Braden Montgomery, had an MLB debut to remember, as he went 2-for-5 with three RBI, two runs scored, and a walk-off home run to help the White Sox beat the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday by a score of 6-5. Since playing Single-A ball in 2025, Montgomery has had a very successful path through the Minors, hitting .260 or higher at every level. In Triple-A this season, he slashed .314/.422/.548 with 10 homeruns, 52 runs scored, 41 RBI, and five stolen bases with a 15.1 percent walk rate and 24.8 percent strikeout rate. Montgomery was a part of the blockbuster deal with the Red Sox for Garrett Crochet, and with his call-up to the Majors, he should see a lot of playing time in the outfield, and as for fantasy baseball, he has the power and speed combination tto provide a lot of upside, and for the most part, has held his walk to strikeout rate in the Minors in check, making him a solid waiver-wire pickup and a young star on the rise. Fantasy managers will want to find a way to add him to their rosters in most 12-plus team formats.

The Chicago White Sox are officially calling up their No. 2 prospect, outfielder Braden Montgomery, for his MLB debut on Tuesday, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Montgomery is ranked as the No. 21 overall MLB prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and will get his first call to the big leagues after slashing an impressive .314/.422/.548 with a .970 OPS, 10 home runs, 13 doubles, three triples, 41 RBI, 52 runs scored, and five stolen bases in 56 games across 258 plate appearances with Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte this year. The 23-year-old switch-hitter was the 12th overall pick in 2024 by the Boston Red Sox out of Texas A&M University. Montgomery has played both center and right field on the farm, and he should play regularly in Chicago, making him waiver-wire worthy in most fantasy formats for his plus-plus power upside. The 6-foot-2, 220-pounder could become a superstar if he tightens up his plate discipline and makes more contact.

Matt Snyder of CBS Sports reports that he is "hearing whispers" that Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery is on the verge of being called up for his MLB debut. The 23-year-old has dominated Triple-A pitching so far in 2026, hitting .314/.422/.548 with 10 home runs, 41 RBI, 52 runs scored, and five stolen bases across 258 plate appearances. He also owns an elite 15.1% walk rate and has posted a 53.8% hard-hit rate this season. Montgomery is considered to be one of the elite prospects in the White Sox system, so it seems unlikely that the team would promote him to the big leagues without a plan to play him every day. Chicago has gotten middling production from the right field combination of Rikuu Nishida, Randal Grichuk, and Derek Hill, which could be where Montgomery slots in at the big-league level. If Montgomery is indeed on his way up to the Majors, he profiles as a high-upside waiver wire target for fantasy managers.

Chicago White Sox top hitting prospect Braden Montgomery has enjoyed an impressive campaign with Triple-A Charlotte and is knocking on the MLB door. Given the team's lack of depth in the outfield, Montgomery may not need to wait much longer before making his MLB debut. This season, during his first 26 games at the Triple-A level, the outfielder has held his own, posting a .298/.373/.462 line with a .835 OPS. The former first-round pick began the season in Double-A but needed only another 27 games at that level before earning the call to the top club in the minor leagues. With Chicago already turning to several of their top prospects at Triple-A, such as Jacob Gonzalez and Sam Antonacci, Montgomery's promotion may be in the near future, and his current play at Triple-A suggests he may not endure many growing pains on the South Side.

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery broke out of a recent slump with a strong four-game stretch at Triple-A Charlotte that saw him go 8-for-16 (.500) with two doubles, a home run, four RBI, seven runs scored, and a stolen base. Perhaps most impressive of all was that the switch-hitter did not strike out once in those four games, his longest stretch of the season without a strikeout, while also drawing three walks. Chicago's second-ranked prospect is performing admirably since earning a promotion to Triple-A, hitting .281 with seven doubles and three home runs in 23 games for the Knights, getting on base at a .366 clip thanks to a solid 10.9 walk rate, and he's also swiped two bags. At this rate, the former first-rounder looks poised for a midseason call-up to the majors, and with a blend of contact, power, and speed, the 23-year-old makes for a stashworthy fantasy asset in deeper leagues.

Chicago White Sox top hitting prospect Braden Montgomery has hit a bit of a skid at the top club in the minor leagues over the past week. After putting together a dominant start to his time at Triple-A, the former first-round pick has gone 0-for-13 over his last five games while holding a 7:3 K:BB. However, prior to this, Montgomery carried a much higher .283/.348/.467 slash line with five doubles, two home runs, and one stolen base over his first taste of Triple-A earlier in May. Montgomery began the regular season with Double-A, but needed only another 27 gams at that level to prove he was ready to join the top ranks. If Montgomery can snap out of this skid in the immediate future, the young slugger should firmly be back on the stash radar, given Chicago's lack of depth in the outfield.
