Michael Forret Removed With Back Discomfort

Baltimore Orioles right-handed pitching prospect Michael Forret (back) was removed from his outing on Tuesday due to low back discomfort. Forret logged two innings of work and struck out three before exiting the game. The 21-year-old is currently ranked as the No. 8-best prospect in the Baltimore system on MLB Pipeline. Fantasy managers should monitor […]

During this five-game stretch, Nimmala has held a .318/.375/.727 slash line with a 5:2 K:BB. Through the first 18 games of the High-A campaign, Nimmala has held […]


Ronny Mauricio Tallies Hit, Swipes A Bag In First Rehab Outing

New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a strikeout during his first rehab outing with Single-A St. Lucie on Sunday.

Luke Keaschall Expected To Miss At Least Two Months

Minnesota Twins infield prospect Luke Keaschall (forearm) is expected to miss at least a "couple of months" of action.

The 22-year-old has enjoyed an impressive […]


Xavier Isaac Heating Up At Double-A

Tampa Bay Rays infield prospect Xavier Isaac has begun to find his footing at Double-A. After missing the start of the campaign due to an elbow injury, Isaac went 2-for-20 with two doubles during his first six games of the season. However, over his last three contests, the 21-year-old has tallied at least one hit […]


Will Warren Stumbles In Monday's Loss

New York Yankees pitching prospect Will Warren struggled during his loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Monday evening. The right-hander logged just three 1/3 innings of work and allowed six hits and four runs. He served up two walks and struck out five batters. Warren was able to earn a spot on the Opening Day […]

Spencer Arrighetti Progressing Well

Houston Astros starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) has continued to progress well. On Monday, Arrighetti got imaging done on his thumb, and the results show that the bone was healing properly. Arrighetti was placed on the injured list earlier in April due to a fractured left thumb. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression […]


Marcus Stroman Still Dealing With Knee Discomfort

New York Yankees right-handed pitcher Marcus Stroman (knee) is still dealing with discomfort in his left knee. The 33-year-old has been sidelined with left knee inflammation for the past two weeks and has been on the 15-day injured list. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but since he continues to face limitations, his […]


Ezequiel Tovar Not Progressing Well

Colorado Rockies infielder Ezequiel Tovar (hip) is "not progressing as we'd hoped," according to manager Bud Black. Tovar has been sidelined due to a left hip contusion and is still struggling to field ground balls. Patrick Lyons of JustBBMedia noted that the infielder may still be at least 10 days from returning. Through his first […]


Austin Gomber Has Not Thrown For A Month

Colorado Rockies left-handed pitcher Austin Gomber (shoulder) has yet to throw since his first rehab outing on March 28. The southpaw made one rehab outing with Triple-A Albuquerque but faced a setback after this start. In this outing, Gomber allowed two runs and three hits, and struck out five batters. Fantasy managers should continue to […]


Jake Fraley Scratched From Monday's Lineup

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (undisclosed) was scratched from Monday's lineup with an undisclosed injury. Instead, Blake Dunn will get the nod in right field. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as the team did not provide any information on why he was removed from the starting nine. Over his last four games, […]


Jordan Westburg Placed On Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles have placed infielder Jordan Westburg (hamstring) on the injured list with a hamstring injury. The team initially noted that he was "day-to-day." However, the infielder has not progressed well and will now miss at least a few weeks of action. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status while he is sidelined. […]


Brandon Clarke Earns Call To High-A

The Boston Red Sox have promoted left-handed pitching prospect Brandon Clarke to High-A Greenville on Monday. Clarke will join fellow Low-A teammate, infielder Franklin Arias, at High-A.

Braden Montgomery Promoted To High-A

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery is being promoted to High-A Winston-Salem. The White Sox selected Montgomery with the 12th pick in last year's draft, and he is already progressing through the White Sox system fairly quickly. The Texas A&M product opened the 2025 season with Low-A Kannapolis and needed just 18 games to […]


Chayce McDermott Struggles In First Rehab Start

Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Chayce McDermott (lat) struggled in his first rehab start with Double-A Chesapeake on Sunday. In this outing, the right-hander logged just 1 2/3 innings of work.

[…]

Cincinnati Reds left-handed pitcher Wade Miley (elbow) exited his rehab outing on Sunday with an undisclosed injury. The southpaw was only able to tally two outs before exiting the contest. Before leaving, Miley allowed one hit and a run and did not tally a strikeout. In his first rehab outing with High-A Dayton, Miley struggled […]

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony (foot) is dealing with a minor foot injury. The top prospect fouled a ball off his foot on Friday and was held out of action over the weekend. However, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic noted that the team does not anticipate him hitting the injured list. Fantasy managers […]


Slade Cecconi Throws Bullpen On Sunday

Cleveland Guardians right-handed pitcher Slade Cecconi (oblique) threw a bullpen session on Sunday. Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt noted that the 25-year-old "looked really good." This is an excellent sign for Cecconi as he has yet to make his 2025 season debut. Cecconi is working his way back from a left oblique strain he suffered in […]


Matt Wallner Could Miss Most Of May

Minnesota Twins outfielder Matt Wallner (hamstring) could miss most of May due to his left hamstring strain. Team president Derek Falvey noted that the severity of his injury could keep him sidelined for the upcoming month.
