AJ Smith-Shawver Strikes Out Eight In Defeat

Atlanta Braves pitching prospect AJ Smith-Shawver tossed five 2/3 innings of three-run ball in his first start at Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday. While Smith-Shawver took the loss in this contest, he flashed high strikeout upside as he struck out eight batters. The top prospect in Atlanta was able to earn a spot on the Opening […]


Marcelo Mayer Tallies Seven RBI On Friday

Boston Red Sox infield prospect Marcelo Mayer went 2-for-7 with a home run and seven RBI during their contest against Triple-A Rochester on Friday evening. Mayer would tally most of his RBIs on a grand slam in the second frame. Through his first taste of Triple-A, Mayer has struggled to find consistency. Through the first […]


Zyhir Hope Hits Two Home Runs On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Zyhir Hope went 2-for-4 with two home runs during their contest against High-A Great Lakes. Hope would hit his first home run against former No. 2 overall pick, Chase Burns. Through his first 13 games at the High-A level, Hope has looked quite comfortable as he has posted a strong […]


Andrew Painter Sharp In Second Rehab Outing

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter was sharp in his second rehab outing with Low-A Clearwater. Painter tossed three no-hit frames. He did not allow a walk and struck out four. This was a strong improvement compared to the two runs he allowed over his first rehab outing (one 1/3 innings). During his first outing, […]

The Minnesota Twins have designated right-handed pitcher Matt Canterino for assignment. This transaction opened a spot on the roster for infield prospect Luke Keaschall. Entering spring training, Canterino did not pitch in a minor league contest since the 2022 campaign due to Tommy John surgery. He was able to enter camp healthy but suffered a […]


Mickey Gasper Sent To Triple-A St. Paul

The Minnesota Twins have optioned catcher Mickey Gasper to Triple-A St. Paul on Friday. Gasper was able to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster but was unable to find much success during the opening weeks of the campaign. Through 10 contests, Gasper posted a .111/.273/.111 line with just two hits and a 4:7 […]


Nicky Lopez Designated For Assignment

The Los Angeles Angels have designated infielder Nicky Lopez for assignment. In a corresponding move, the Angels activated infielder Zach Neto (shoulder) off the injured list.

Alex Bregman Back From Paternity Leave

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman has been activated from the paternity list prior to Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. In a corresponding move, the Red Sox have designated right-handed pitcher Michael Fulmer. Bregman is slated to cover the hot corner and bat third on Friday evening. The 31-year-old was held out […]


Dodgers Recall Noah Davis From Triple-A

The Los Angeles Dodgers have recalled right-handed pitcher Noah Davis from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Friday's contest against the Texas Rangers.

Davis has spent his major league career with the […]


Brooks Raley Throws Bullpen, Drawing Interest From Several Teams

Relief pitcher Brooks Raley threw a bullpen session with at least a "dozen" teams in attendance, according to Will Sammon of The Athletic. Raley logged just seven innings of work with the New York Mets before undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Nathan Lukes Activated From Paternity List

The Toronto Blue Jays have reinstated outfielder Nathan Lukes from the paternity list. The team noted the outfielder will be active during their contest on Friday evening against the Seattle Mariners. Through the first 12 games of the season, Lukes has posted a modest .167/.310/.208 slash line with one double and a 4:4 BB:K. During […]


Carson Spiers Recalled From Triple-A

The Cincinnati Reds have recalled right-handed pitcher Carson Spiers from Triple-A Louisville. In a corresponding move, the Reds placed starting pitcher Nick Lodolo on the paternity list. Lodolo was slated to start Sunday's contest against the Baltimore Orioles. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Spiers to get the nod instead. Spiers has logged nine […]


Nick Lodolo Placed On Paternity List

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Nick Lodolo was placed on the paternity list prior to Friday's contest against the Baltimore Orioles. In a corresponding move, the Reds promoted Carson Spiers from Triple-A Louisville. Lodolo was set to get the nod on Sunday, but instead, the Reds will likely give Spiers the nod. Lodolo has enjoyed an […]

As a result, this game will be played on Sunday as part of a doubleheader. The first game on Sunday will begin at 1:10 PM EST, and the second contest is scheduled to begin at […]


Drew Gilbert Returns To Triple-A

New York Mets outfield prospect Drew Gilbert (hamstring) returned to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday. Gilbert was on the 7-day injured list due to a hamstring injury at the start of the campaign. He participated in a brief six-game rehab assignment with Low-A St. Lucie before returning to action. During his rehab assignment, Gilbert held a […]


Henry Bolte Snaps Skid With Two-Hit Game

Athletics outfield prospect Henry Bolte snapped his skid on Thursday as he went 2-for-4 with a home run and a stolen base. Entering Thursday, Bolte carried an underwhelming .100/.182/.100 line over his last three contests. However, prior to this minor slump, Bolte began the season riding an eight-game hitting streak. During this hot start, the […]


Jett Williams Goes Deep, Swipes A Bag

New York Mets infield prospect Jett Williams went 2-for-5 with a home run and a stolen base during their contest on Thursday against Double-A Reading. This outing extended Williams' current hitting streak to three games. Through his first 10 games of the Double-A campaign, Williams has tallied at least one hit in all but two […]

Caden Dana Strikes Out Seven Over Seven Shutout Frames

Los Angeles Angels pitching prospect Caden Dana tossed seven shutout innings in his latest outing on Thursday against Triple-A Sacramento. In this start, Dana allowed just four hits and no walks. He struck out seven batters. Through his first three starts of the Triple-A campaign, Dana has enjoyed an impressive start, holding a 1.13 ERA […]

Philadelphia Phillies left-handed pitcher Jose Alvarado earned his fourth save of the campaign on Thursday afternoon during their victory over the San Francisco Giants. Alvarado entered the game in the ninth inning but ran into some trouble. After retiring Casey Schmitt via a lineout, he would allow a solo shot to Tyler Fitzgerald. He would […]


A.J. Puk Earns Save On Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher A.J. Puk earned his fourth save of the campaign on Thursday afternoon during their 6-4 victory over the Miami Marlins. The southpaw entered the contest in the final frame. Puk allowed a leadoff double to designated hitter Griffin Conine. However, he would then retire the next three batters he saw to […]
