Pittsburgh Pirates infield prospect Termarr Johnson has posted an underwhelming .176/.263/.306 slash line with one double and two stolen bases. During this stretch, he has struck out eight times and drawn three walks. Through 78 total games with Double-A Altoona this season, the former fourth overall pick from the 2022 MLB Draft has held a .247/.329/.3775 slash line with nine doubles, two triples, eight home runs, and 12 stolen bases. Johnson received a brief taste of Double-A at the end of the 2024 campaign and held a similar .229/.316/.396 line with two long balls across 14 games. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the 21-year-old's progression as he could be in line to earn a similar taste of Triple-A at the end of this season. However, given his modest production, the Pirates may opt to keep him with Double-A to continue his development.

Pittsburgh Pirates infield prospect Termarr Johnson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored on Sunday for Double-A Altoona. The home run was his sixth of the year but first since May 10, a period of 17 games without one, and ended a 5-for-29 (.172) skid he was on coming into the game. The former fourth-overall draft pick hasn't quite lived up to expectations yet, owning a .241 career batting average in the minors. However, the left-handed hitter is coming off two consecutive double-digit home run, 20-steal seasons, and boasts a 17.9 percent career walk rate in the minors. If he can continue to produce, he should reach Triple-A by season's end, but an MLB debut is looking more like next year at this point.

Pittsburgh Pirates infield prospect Termarr Johnson finished 0-for-4 with a strikeout in a 10-0 loss to Double-A Akron on Saturday. The performance snapped a 12-game on-base streak for the 21-year-old. While Johnson hasn't yet lived up to the immense hype surrounding him when he went fourth overall in the 2022 draft, he has shown encouraging signs this season in his first extended look at the Double-A level with the Altoona Curve. Thanks partly to an impressive 28:24 K:BB, the 5-foot-8, 190-pounder has posted a strong .262/.370/.418 line with five home runs and eight stolen bases in 166 plate appearances. If Johnson continues to log that type of production, he could ascend to Triple-A or even the majors later this year.

Pittsburgh Pirates infield prospect Termarr Johnson (knee) went 2-for-5 with a double during their contest against Double-A Somerset on Monday. Johnson suffered a minor knee injury on Friday. However, this is a great sign as Johnson was only held out of action over the weekend, which suggests the injury was not very serious. Through the first 12 games of the Double-A regular season, Johnson has held a .245/.351/.347 slash line with two doubles and one home run. Johnson has swiped five bags and held an impressive 9:8 K:BB. Last summer, the former fourth overall pick spent most of the campaign with High-A and held a modest .238/.372/.385 before earning a brief taste of Double-A. Fantasy managers should expect Johnson to spend most of the campaign at Double-A before earning a late-season look at Triple-A.

Pittsburgh Pirates infield prospect Termarr Johnson (foot) has started in two of the first three games of the Double-A regular season. Johnson suffered an injury during the Spring Breakout game in March but has not missed much time early in the campaign. Fantasy managers should expect the team to continue to monitor his workload, especially early in the campaign. Johnson tallied one hit in each contest, including a double on Sunday. He has swiped one bag and held a 1:1 BB:K. The former fourth overall pick of the 2022 MLB Draft spent most of the 2024 campaign with High-A Greensboro and posted a .238/.372/.385 line with 13 home runs. He then earned a brief taste of Double-A, where he tallied 11 hits across his first 14 games. Johnson will likely spend most of the 2025 season with Double-A.
