Through 30 games this season, the 21-year-old has posted […]


Ryan Clifford Goes Deep In Second Straight Game

New York Mets first base prospect Ryan Clifford has gone deep in back-to-back games at Double-A Binghamton. Over these two games, Clifford has gone 5-for-10 at the dish with three runs and five RBI. However, prior to this recent power surge, Clifford held a modest 0.80/.179/.080 slash line over his last eight contests. During this […]

Made scored 18 runs, brought in 15, and held […]

Through his first 35 games of the Triple-A regular season, Kemp has posted an impressive .331/.423/.662 slash line with 14 doubles, one triple, and 10 long balls. He is the […]

A.J. Ewing Showing Speed Upside At High-A

New York Mets infield prospect A.J. Ewing is continuing to showcase his speed upside at High-A. Through his first eight games at the level, Ewing has stolen seven bags and held a .294/.351/.382 slash line. Ewing has tallied two doubles and held an 8:3 K:BB. Ewing opened the campaign with Low-A St. Lucie, where he […]


Eduardo Quintero Goes Deep Twice On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Eduardo Quintero went 3-for-5 with two long balls during their contest against Low-A Visalia. This performance extended Quintero's hitting streak to an impressive eight games.

Mike Tauchman To Begin Rehab Assignment On Saturday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Mike Tauchman (hamstring) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday. Tauchman has been held out of action since early April with a Grade 2 hamstring strain. Given the time he missed, Tauchman may need a somewhat lengthy rehab assignment. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his […]


Cade Horton Joining MLB Roster This Weekend

The Chicago Cubs are expected to promote top pitching prospect Cade Horton to the MLB roster for their weekend series against the New York Mets. The 23-year-old is considered the No. 49-ranked prospect in the sport and the No. 2-ranked in the system on MLB Pipeline. Horton was on track to make his MLB debut […]

Colorado Rockies infielder/outfielder Tyler Freeman (oblique) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque this weekend.

Freeman appeared in just seven games before suffering the injury. During […]


Max Scherzer Completes Bullpen Session On Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Max Scherzer (thumb) completed a bullpen session on Wednesday. This was a significant step for the right-hander as he has been sidelined since his first start with a right thumb injury. He was initially placed on the 15-day IL but was recently shifted to the 60-day IL earlier in May. […]


Pirates Fire Derek Shelton

The Pittsburgh Pirates have fired manager Derek Shelton. The Pirates have had a disappointing start to the season, holding a 12-26 record, which puts them at the bottom of the NL Central. He is being replaced by Don Kelly, who was a bench coach. Shelton has been the manager of the Pirates since the 2020 […]


Trey Yesavage Strikes Out Seven In Latest Start

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitching prospect Trey Yesavage tossed five innings of three-run ball (one earned) on Wednesday to pick up his second-straight victory.

Zyhir Hope Goes Deep On Wednesday

Fantasy managers […]
