Franklin Arias Fantasy Stats

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Franklin Arias is impressing at Double-A this season, but he could be a long way away from making an impact in fantasy leagues. Double-A Portland has been good to the 20-year-old, as he has amassed 17 homers and 47 RBI while hitting .332 with five stolen bases. The numbers are mighty impressive for Boston's top overall prospect, but at just 20 years old, he would likely need a lengthy look at Triple-A before he would make his major league debut. Arias ranks as the No. 4 prospect in the minors at shortstop, but the Venezuelan is most likely to make his debut in Boston next year. He continues to impress in the minors but is likely not worth using a roster spot this season. His name is one to definitely file away as he continues to progress, but next year might be his time to shine on fantasy teams.

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Franklin Arias' bat has come back to life in a big way after a short slump. From June 11 through June 19, Boston's top-ranked prospect went just 2-for-20 (.100) over a six-game span, but in the nine games since, he's 18-for-38 (.474) with five doubles, three home runs, and a 4:5 BB:K. The surge has raised his season-long slash line at Double-A to .328/.407/.594 with 16 home runs, five steals, and a fairly even split between walks (29) and strikeouts (36). A promotion to Triple-A could be on the way in the near future, and with his abilities, a late-season debut in the majors could be in the cards. The 20-year-old just rose all the way to No. 8 on MLB.com's most recent refresh of the Top 100 prospects list, and fantasy managers will want to put him on their radar as the young Venezuelan could become a worthy stash candidate in deeper leagues in the coming months.

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Franklin Arias broke out of his mini-slump over the weekend, going 6-for-10 with a pair of three-hit games, which included three doubles and his first home run since June 2, a period of 14 games without one. The surge boosted his season-long slash line to .315/.395/.579 with 14 home runs and five stolen bases at Double-A Portland. Also notable was the fact that for the first time all season, the 5-foot-11 Venezuelan made a start at a position other than shortstop, manning second base for the Sea Dogs in Saturday's contest. Although he's played some second base in the past, it is something to keep an eye on, as more starts there could provide added versatility and create another pathway to Triple-A and eventually the majors, perhaps even in 2026. With Boston promoting Anthony Seigler from Triple-A to play second base with Isiah Kiner-Falefa (forearm) hitting the injured list, a promotion to Triple-A for Arias could be forthcoming. Once on the doorstep to the majors, Arias could become a stash option in deeper leagues.

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Franklin Arias has gone cold at Double-A Portland, going 2-for-16 (.125) over his last five games, and is batting just .222 in June. Despite the slowdown, Boston's top-ranked prospect has still been able to get on base this month, thanks to 10 walks compared to just nine strikeouts. Because of his hot start, the right-handed hitter still has a strong slash line of .307/.393/.559 with 13 home runs and five steals through 54 games for the Sea Dogs. His 10.7 percent walk rate and 13.2 percent strikeout shows a solid approach, which should help him break out of the recent slump and propel him to Triple-A in the coming weeks. When that happens, the talented Venezuelan will be knocking on the door to the majors and would be a stash consideration. For now, he is not a must-stash, but keen fantasy managers should keep an eye on his development.

Boston Red Sox top shortstop prospect Franklin Arias has been among the top hitting prospects across the entire minor leagues this season. Through 52 games with Double-A Portland, the No. 10-ranked prospect in the sport (according to MLB.com) has posted an impressive .318/.397/.579 line with a stellar .976 OPS. During this 52-game stretch, Arias has hit 10 doubles, 13 home runs, swiped four bags, and carried a 29:22 K:BB. Last summer, Arias split his time across Low-A, High, and Double-A, with much of his time being spent at Greenville, where he carried a low .265/.329/.380 line over an 87-game stint. Seeing him continue to show higher upside while facing tougher pitching is an excellent sign for his outlook. Fantasy managers should expect Arias to earn the call to Triple-A Worcester in the coming weeks, which could set him up for a late second-half MLB debut. For now, the infielder is only worth stashing in deep 12+ team redraft leagues that have multiple N/A spots.

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Franklin Arias has cooled recently after a strong start to his 2025 campaign at Double-A Portland, going 3-for-24 (.125) over his last seven games. Despite the slowdown, Boston's top-ranked prospect recorded a 4:4 BB:K during that stretch, which was good for a better-than-average 13.8 percent walk and strikeout rate, so expect the young Venezuelan to get rolling again soon. All in all, the right-handed hitter is slashing .311/.389/.588 with a .416 wOBA and 147 wRC+ through 47 games, and should be headed to Triple-A soon. At just 20 years old, the Red Sox may opt to keep him in the minors for the entire year, but should he get hot at Triple-A, Arias may force the issue, and fantasy managers would be wise to keep an eye on his development.

Though Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Franklin Arias went 0-for-4 on Sunday, he's still riding a 12-game on-base streak after getting hit by a pitch in the game, and he has now reached base safely in 37 of 41 games at Double-A Portland. The 20-year-old's 1.026 OPS is second-best in the Eastern League, second only to Jonah Cox, who was recently promoted straight to the majors by the Giants. Hitting .331 with a low 12.3 percent strikeout rate, the 5-foot-11 Venezuelan seems destined for Triple-A in the near future, and with a good showing there, he could be in the mix for a debut in the majors later this season. Given his age (Cox is four years older than Arias), a Cox-like promotion straight to the majors is unlikely, but with Trevor Story (hernia) out for several more weeks at a minimum, it wouldn't be totally out of the question with how good Arias has looked. Fantasy managers should keep the youngster on their radar, as he could quickly become a stash target.

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Franklin Arias isn't slowing down at Double-A Portland, currently riding a five-game hitting streak, during which time he's gone 10-for-24 (.417) with a double, a triple, and four home runs. Boston's top-ranked prospect is hitting .343 on the year with 12 home runs and four steals, while his 1.079 OPS is third-highest in the minors out of hitters with at least 150 at-bats. The right-handed hitter is walking at a solid 9.1 percent clip, while maintaining a low strikeout rate of 12.8 percent. There doesn't appear to be much left to prove at this level, and a ticket to Triple-A should be coming in the near future. If he can continue to mash at Triple-A, the Venezuelan could see time in Boston later this year despite being just 20 years old, especially with the team thin at short as Trevor Story (hernia) is expected to miss anywhere from six to 10 weeks. Arias isn't necessarily a stash option at the moment in redraft leagues, but that could quickly change, so fantasy managers should monitor his progress.

Boston Red Sox top infield prospect Franklin Arias continues to showcase elite upside at the Double-A level and remains in play for a late-season MLB debut. Through his first 36 games with Double-A Portland this season, the team's No. 1-ranked prospect per MLB.com has posted a dominant .346/.422/.662 slash line with a dominant 1.084 OPS. During this stretch, the infielder has launched 11 home runs, swiped four bags, while carrying a 19:15 K:BB. Over his last three games, Arias has launched three of these long balls. Given his incredible start to the campaign, the top prospect remains in serious contention not only to reach Triple-A in the coming weeks but also to debut in the big leagues in the second half. If he maintains this pace, he will find himself near the top of most stash lists in the coming months.

Boston Red Sox infield prospect Franklin Arias is off to a scorching start at Double-A Portland, producing four multi-hit performances in his first six games, going 10-for-17 (.588) with two doubles and a 2:2 BB:K. He has even been hit by a pitch twice, giving him a remarkable .636 on-base percentage. Boston's second-ranked prospect earned two promotions last year, finishing the season with a 10-game stint at Double-A, and tallying a .278/.335/.388 slash line overall with eight home runs, 12 steals, and a low 10.1 percent strikeout rate in 116 games. The 20-year-old is a hit-over-power prospect and doesn't have a ton of speed, but could grow into a 15-ish home run player and can be an opportunistic base-stealer who should see time at Triple-A in the coming months. The right-handed slugger's ability to put the bat on the ball could earn him a big league debut late in the season, especially on his current trajectory, and could be worthy of consideration for a roster spot in deeper leagues whenever he gets that call.
