Mondesi was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.
Mondesi certainly has the tools and Triple-A performance to suggest he could be a fantasy asset down the stretch, but it's far less certain that he will get enough starts to make an impact. He probably represents an upgrade over Alcides Escobar at shortstop, but the veteran may get preferential treatment from manager Ned Yost. Mondesi hit .305/.340/.539 with 13 home runs and 21 steals in 85 games in the Pacific Coast League, and is still just 22 years old.
