Mon Jun 3018:37Yanquiel Fernandez Called Up to Majors
Colorado Rockies outfielder Yanquiel Fernandez is reportedly set to be recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque. According to Patrick Lyons, Fernandez is set to join the Rockies roster ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros. The 22-year-old prospect is hitting .284/.347/.502 with 13 home runs and 39 RBI across 64 games in Triple-A this season. Fernandez has some serious power with two 20-plus home run seasons during his minor league career. He should have some fun hitting in Coors Field, but there might be some growing pains in the beginning. Fernandez is at least worth a look in deep leagues, assuming he gets regular playing time in Colorado.

Mon Jun 3005:53Yanquiel Fernandez Continues Power Surge on Sunday
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Yanquiel Fernandez continued to hit for power on Sunday as he went 1-for-3 with a 475-foot long ball. This was his second-straight game going deep and third home run over his last four games. During this four-game stretch, Fernandez has tallied nine RBI, hit a double, and held a 3:3 K:BB. The 22-year-old and No. 6-ranked prospect in the system has spent the entire campaign at the Triple-A level. Through 64 games with Albuquerque, Fernandez has posted a solid .284/.347/.502 slash line with 14 doubles, 13 home runs, and a 38:22 K:BB. Last season, during his first taste of Triple-A, Fernandez struggled, holding a .211/.268/.313 line. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression this season, as he should reach Colorado later in the second half.

Thu Apr 2400:31Yanquiel Fernandez With Another Multi-Homer Game
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Yanquiel Fernandez went 3-for-6 with two home runs, four RBI, and two runs scored on Wednesday for Triple-A Albuquerque. The two home runs put him atop the minor-league leaderboard with a total of seven home runs, tied with the Athletics' Nick Kurtz, who is now in the major leagues. Fernandez has come aliveover the last three games, going 7-for-13 (.538) with a double, four home runs, seven RBI, and five runs scored over that stretch. The 22-year-old owns a .254/.325/.592 slash line through 19 games, and with the Rockies currently with the worst record in baseball while averaging the third-lowest runs per game output, expect the team to see what they have in their sixth-ranked prospect at the major league level at somepoint this season, perhaps soonerthan later if he continues to rake. The left-handed slugger has big power that should play well at Coors, so fantasy managers should take notice whenever he gets the call.

Mon Apr 2111:41Yanquiel Fernandez Goes Deep Twice On Sunday
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Yanquiel Fernandez went 2-for-3 with two long balls during their contest on Sunday against Triple-A El Paso. This was a much-needed breakout game for Fernandez, as he entered Sunday riding a .059/.150/.059 slash line with just one hit over his last five contests. However, before this slump, Fernandez posted a stellar .333/.375/.700 line with two doubles and three long balls over his previous seven games. Overall through 17 games at Triple-A Albuquerque, Fernandez has held a .213/.300/.492 line. Last summer, Fernandez received his first look at Triple-A and held a modest .211/.268/.313 line through his first 33 games at this level. Fantasy managers should monitor his progression at Triple-A, as he should be in the mix for an MLB debut later this season.

Last summer, Fernandez spent most of his time at Double-A before receiving a brief taste of Triple-A. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression as he should be in the mix for an MLB debut later this season.

Tue Mar 1123:12Yanquiel Fernandez Optioned To Triple-A Albuquerque
The Colorado Rockies optioned outfield prospect Yanquiel Fernandez to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday. The 22-year-old went 7-for-26 (.269) in Cactus League action with one home run and a 2:8 BB:K. Rockies fans will have to wait a bit longer to see how the left-handed hitter's power will play at Coors Field, which, according to MLB.com's Top Prospects list, should be sometime in 2025. The Cuban hit well at Double-A in 2024, slashing .283/.339/.439 with 10 home runs in 89 games, but stumbled when he got his first dose of Triple-A pitching, slashing .211/.268/.313 with two home runs in 33 games. If the Rockies' sixth-ranked prospect can get off to a good start at Triple-A, he could be one of the earlier call-ups this season, and redraft managers should be alert for any news on that front, as his power stroke would get an instant boost in the thin air of Colorado.

Thu Aug 8 202408:20Yanquiel Fernandez Picks Up First Triple-A Hit
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Yanquiel Fernandez picked up his first hit for Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday. The 21-year-old went 1-for-4 in the contest, connecting for a single and RBI. It was his second game with his new team, but he continues to have strong exit velocities off his bat. Fernandez has seen his stock shoot up over the last few seasons for a Rockies system that has been loaded with outfield prospects like Jordan Beck, Benny Montgomery and Zac Veen to name a few. Fernandez has worked on his plate discipline and that has been a big reason for his ascension, but his hard-hitting bat cannot be ignored. Between Double-A and Triple-A this season, Fernandez has hit a combined .280 with 10 homers and 47 RBI. Fernandez should continue to tap into his power and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him in Colorado at some point in 2025. With his upside, dynasty managers should consider adding the outfielder before it is too late.

The Rockies' No. 4 prospect (MLB No. 64) has big-time power and Coors Field should treat him well when he makes it there, which should be sometime next season.

Fernandez has 60-grade power and profiles as a plus-contributor in the power categories. The Cuban is a name to monitor as he continues to progress through the Rockies' minor league system. Eventually hitting at Coors Field would be a nice setup for Fernandez but that could be a year or two away.

Tue Jul 2 202408:50Yanquiel Fernandez Continues To Show Power In Double-A
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Yanquiel Fernandez continued his strong season by going 2-for-5 with a pair of runs and a two-run home run on Monday. Fernandez, 21, is the 67th ranked prospect per MLB Pipeline rankings and he has backed that up by hitting .269 with seven home runs and 39 RBI over 219 at-bats this season. Fernandez offers tons of raw power from the left side of the plate, but still needs to work on his aggressiveness at the plate. The outfielder should be rostered in dynasty formats with his power likely to translate in a big way at Coors Field when he eventually makes his big-league debut, which could come as soon as 2025.

Thu Jun 6 202401:13Yanquiel Fernandez Hits Fifth Home Run At Double-A
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Yanquiel Fernandez crushed his fifth home run of the season for Double-A Hartford on Wednesday, part of a 2-for-6 day for the slugger.

The lefty hitter's power looks like it'll be an asset at Coors Field whenever he gets the call to the majors, which should be 2025 according to MLB.com's Top Prospects List.

Thu Apr 25 202407:55Yanquiel Fernandez Showing Power Potential
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Yanquiel Fernandez went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Wednesday's contest for Double-A Hartford. The home run for Cuban was absolutely crushed and marked his second of the season. The 21-year-old is a consensus Top-100 prospect is now hitting .243 with 12 RBI on the season. Fernandez is a very aggressive hitter, but he makes good contact and is only beginning to tap into his power potential, which should play very well in his future home of Coors Field. It is unlikely that Fernandez will make his big-league debut in 2024, but it is realistic that 2025 could be a big year for him. The Rockies do not have much to be excited about at the big-league club, but Fernandez offers excitement for patient fans. He should be rostered in dynasty leagues and redraft managers should file his name away for the future.
