James Triantos Fantasy Stats

The Chicago Cubs are calling up second base/outfielder prospect James Triantos from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday for his major-league debut, according to Geoff Pontes of Baseball America. Triantos, the team's No. 7 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is getting his first MLB call after slashing an impressive .306/.344/.440 with a .784 OPS, seven home runs, 52 RBI, 18 stolen bases, and 58 runs scored in 88 games across 378 plate appearances this year at Iowa. The 23-year-old former second-rounder in 2021 should give the Cubbies a utility option off the bench, as he has experience at all three outfield spots while mostly playing second and third base on the farm in 2026. The 5-foot-11, 195-pounder has bounced back nicely after a rough showing in the minors last year, although he's unlikely to have an everyday role in Chicago this year if he sticks in the majors. Triantos, who bats and throws right-handed, has been compared to Alex Bregman and David Wright for his high-end contact skills. To become a big-league regular, he'll need to develop more power and improve his plate discipline. Fantasy managers in most leagues can ignore Triantos for now.

Chicago Cubs second base prospect James Triantos has enjoyed an impressive stretch at the Triple-A level and has put himself on the stash radar for those in deeper formats. Since June 1, Triantos has posted a dominant .358/.403/.515 line with a sharp .918 OPS. During this noted stretch, Triantos has hit 12 doubles, three home runs, five stolen bases, and a 17:9 K:BB. On the season, the No. 8-ranked prospect in the Chicago system has carried a dominant .311/.349/.448 line with 22 doubles, seven home runs, and 18 stolen bases. However, what kept him in Iowa is Chicago's depth in the middle infield. Even though Nico Hoerner and Dansby Swanson have not had the most productive seasons, they remain the clear top options on the depth chart. However, if one were to miss time with an injury, Triantos would enter must-stash territory given his five-category upside.

Chicago Cubs infield prospect James Triantos was removed from last Thursday's Triple-A Iowa game due to tightness in his leg and has missed both games since. Sunday's game was postponed and the team had a day off on Monday, so, after two days off, it will be telling as to the severity of the injury if he remains absent when the team returns to action on Tuesday. The Cubs' fifth-ranked prospect (MLB No. 69) was slashing just .231/.273/.269 with no home runs through 13 games this season, but did have six stolen bases racked up already. The right-handed hitter slashed .300/.346/.427 between Double and Triple-A last season with seven home runs and 47 steals over 115 games, and won the Arizona Fall League's Offensive Player of the Year award in 2023. He's expected to make his major league debut this season, according to MLB.com, but Nico Hoerner blocks his path at the 22-year-old's primary position. His potential to hit for average and tally stolen bases would make him intriguing for fantasy in deeper leagues whenever he does get the call.

Chicago Cubs infield prospect James Triantos has held a strong .364 AVG and .417 OBP through the first three contests of the Iowa Cubs season. Triantos has also been busy on the basepaths, swiping three bags. However, he has yet to tally a hit for extra bases. Triantos is considered the No. 5 prospect in a deep Cubs system. MLB Pipeline has Triantos currently as the No. 72-best prospect in the sport. Last season, the former second-round selection spent most of his time at Double-A before receiving a brief taste of Triple-A. Through 89 games with Double-A Tennessee, Triantos posted a stellar .300/.345/.437 slash line with 18 doubles, seven home runs, and an eye-catching 38 stolen bases. During his first 26 games at Triple-A, Triantos held a similar .302/.351/.384 line with nine stolen bases. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Triantos' power production, as that is the one skill that has yet to translate to the top level of the minor leagues.

The Chicago Cubs are bringing infield prospects Matt Shaw and James Triantos, and catcher/first baseman Moises Ballesteros to major-league spring training this year as non-roster invites. Per MLB Pipeline, Shaw is ranked as the No. 19 overall prospect in baseball, with Triantos checking in at No. 73, and Ballesteros at No. 69. If the Cubs don't sign free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman, Shaw is expected to be the "leading contender" for starting duties at third base on Opening Day despite having yet to play in the majors. The 23-year-old Shaw hit .284/.379/.488 with 21 homers and 31 steals in the minors in 2024 and could be in play in mixed fantasy leagues in 2025 given his power/speed potential. Ballesteros, 21, has great contact skills from the left side but does have a tendency to chase outside the zone. Triantos, 22, has limited power but stole 47 bags on the farm in 2024.

Chicago Cubs second baseman prospect James Triantos is starting to find a groove at Triple-A Iowa. The Cubs promoted the 21-year-old to Iowa last week, and after starting off 0-for-8 over his first two games, he's now hit safely in the last four games, going 6-for-17 (.353) with a pair of stolen bases over that stretch. Triantos had a nice 2023 that earned him an invite to the 2023 Arizona Fall League where he had a phenomenal showing, then posted a .300-7-40-63-38 line in 89 games at Double-A in 2024 which prompted the promotion to Triple-A. It's unclear how the former second-round pick fits into the Cubs' future plans with Nico Hoerner manning second base and Dansby Swanson signed at shortstop, but expect to see him in the majors at some point next season.

The Chicago Cubs will promote second base prospect James Triantos to Triple-A Iowa. Triantos earns the promotion after hitting .300 with five triples, seven homers, 40 RBI and 38 stolen bases. The 22-year-old doesn't offer much power, but he has very good contact skills that gets him on-base, where is he has the speed to rack up stolen bases. With his lack of power, he does not offer much yet in the fantasy world, but the Cubs No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline is certainly worthy of being added to the watch-list in dynasty leagues. While he is still in between positions in the infield, the Cubs have Michael Busch, Nico Hoerner, Dansby Swanson and Isaac Paredes all locked in for the 2025 season, meaning Triantos would really need to turn heads in Spring Training or an injury to happen to break camp. Either way, his promotion could mean that his big-league debut can come sooner than expected as a utilityman.

Chicago Cubs second base prospect James Triantos enjoyed a big July at Double-A. Through 19 games, the former second-round pick held an excellent .299/.371/.377 line with a 7:9 BB:K ratio, six stolen bases, and 23 total hits. In his past 11 games, he has only gone hitless once and is riding a .364 AVG and .440 OBP. This is a great sign for the 21-year-old as this was yet another dominant month for him. Through 86 games this season, he sits with a .304/.349/.442 line. Triantos is considered the fourth-best prospect in the Chicago system on MLB.com and the 51st-best overall prospect. Triantos should start next summer at Triple-A Iowa and could push for a major league debut.

Chicago Cubs second base prospect James Triantos homered Thursday for Double-A Tennessee to continue his red-hot month. Triantos is hitting .429 in June with four homers and 12 RBI to go with 14 stolen bases. The 21-year-old has been showcasing his power-speed potential all season with 27 stolen bases to his name along with seven homers and 31 RBI while hitting .319. The Cubs' No. 5 prospect is crushing Double-A this year and could be in line for a promotion to Triple-A shortly. With a 60-grade hit tool, Triantos profiles as someone who can quickly adjust at the plate each time he advances a level. He could be looking at a big-league debut sometime next season at this rate and is someone who should be on the fantasy radar.

Chicago Cubs second baseman prospect James Triantos went 3-for-4 with a double and two home runs on Tuesday for Double-A Tennessee, extending his mini-hit streak to four games. He also drove in three and scored three times in the contest. That brings his season line to .296-3-10-11-4. Triantos spent most of 2023 at High-A but played three games at Double-A at the end of the regular season. He had a phenomenal showing in the 2023 Arizona Fall League in which he batted .417 with the second-most hits during the campaign at 35, while also stealing nine bases in 22 games. A good spring that extends into summer should get him to Triple-A this year, but Gold Glove second baseman Nico Hoerner currently blocks his path to the majors. Regardless, he'll likely make it there sometime in 2025, so dynasty managers should be keeping tabs on him.
