Among 2026’s fantasy baseball rookie class TJ Rumfield was largely ignored in favor of sexier names like Konnor Griffin, Kevin McGonigle and JJ Wetherholt. In his first six games Rumfield has already made his presence felt and while he’s only rostered in 41% of Fantrax leagues, that ownership rate will likely quickly increase after this weekend’s waiver wire run. With Ben Rice and Paul Goldschmidt set to split time at first base this season for the Yankees, Rumfield was considered expendable, and he was traded to Colorado for reliever Angel Chivilli on January 28th.
