Tobias Myers Activated Off Injured List, Starting On Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitcher Tobias Myers (oblique) was activated off the 15-day injured list prior to his season debut on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants. Myers has been out of action since spring training due to this injury. In a corresponding move, the Brewers optioned left-handed pitcher Bryan Hudson to Triple-A Nashville. Myers made […]


Jacob Stallings, Nick Martini Sitting In Game 1

Colorado Rockies catcher Jacob Stallings and outfielder Nick Martini will take a seat in Game 1 of their doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday afternoon. Fantasy managers should expect Stallings to return to the lineup for Game 2. Instead, Hunter Goodman will be behind the dish in the early game. Martini has typically […]


Jorge Polanco Sitting Against Lefty

Seattle Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco will take a seat during Thursday's contest against the Boston Red Sox with left-hander Garrett Crochet set to take the mound. Through the early part of the campaign, Polanco has only made one start against a southpaw. Instead, Ben Williamson will cover the hot corner, and Cal Raleigh will shift […]


David Festa Optioned To Triple-A

The Minnesota Twins have optioned right-handed pitcher David Festa to Triple-A St. Paul. Festa was promoted to the majors to fill Pablo Lopez's rotation spot. However, with Lopez set to return to action this weekend, Festa will return to the top level of the minor leagues. Through three starts this season (13 innings), Festa held […]


Willi Castro Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Willi Castro (oblique) is on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain. In a corresponding move, the Twins promoted Mickey Gasper from Triple-A St. Paul. Castro has been held out of the lineup since suffering this injury on April 16. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as this […]


Hagen Smith Showing Strikeout Potential At Double-A

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Hagen Smith has looked sharp during his first taste of Double-A action. On Wednesday, Smith logged four shutout innings.

Chase Petty Strikes Out Seven On Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds pitching prospect Chase Petty struck out seven batters across six shutout innings on Wednesday evening. Petty allowed just one hit and two free passes.

Cade Horton Shines On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs pitching prospect Cade Horton looked strong again in his latest outing on Thursday against Triple-A Louisville. Horton tossed four 2/3 shutout innings. He allowed just two hits and one walk, and struck out five batters. Through his first four outings of the Triple-A campaign, the top pitching prospect on the Northside has held […]


Chandler Simpson Extends Hitting Streak To Four Games

Tampa Bay Rays outfield prospect Chandler Simpson went 1-for-3 with an RBI and run during their 7-6 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday evening. Simpson would tally his hit in the eighth inning. It was a clutch RBI single that tied the game and eventually forced extra innings, where the Rays would eventually win […]


Jacob Melton Quiet Since Returning From Injured List

Houston Astros outfield prospect Jacob Melton has held a modest .190/.292/.571 slash line across his first six games of the regular season. Melton missed the opening week of the season due to a back injury. The No. 3-ranked prospect in the system enjoyed one impressive game on April 11 when he hit two home runs. […]


Lazaro Montes Hits Home Run No. 5

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes went 1-for-4 with a home run during their contest on Wednesday against High-A Vancouver. Montes has enjoyed a strong start to the High-A regular season, posting a .262/.410/.623 slash line with three doubles, two triples, and five home runs across 17 contests. Over his last eight games, the 20-year-old […]

Ryan Clifford Goes Deep On Wednesday

New York Mets first base prospect Ryan Clifford went 2-for-3 with a home run during their contest on Wednesday evening against Double-A New Hampshire. This outing extended his current hitting streak to four games. During this four-game surge, Clifford has tallied at least two hits in all but one contest. Before this recent surge, the […]


Jaison Chourio Hits First Home Run Of High-A Regular Season

Cleveland Guardians outfield prospect Jaison Chourio went 1-for-2 with a home run and two walks during their contest on Tuesday against High-A Great Lakes.

Jacob Stallings, Kyle Farmer Sitting On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies catcher Jacob Stallings and shortstop Kyle Farmer are not in the starting nine on Wednesday evening when they continue a series against the Kansas City Royals.

Willi Castro Not Playing On Wednesday

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Willi Castro (oblique) remains out of the starting nine on Wednesday evening when the Twins continue a series against the Chicago White Sox. Castro has been dealing with an oblique injury and has yet to return to the lineup since April 16. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as the […]


Zac Veen Optioned to Triple-A

The Colorado Rockies have optioned outfield prospect Zac Veen to Triple-A Albuquerque. In a corresponding move, the team activated outfielder Brenton Doyle from the bereavement list. Veen has held a modest .118/.189/.235 slash line with one double and one home run across his first 12 games at the MLB level. Veen will look to find […]


Brenton Doyle Activated From Bereavement List

The Colorado Rockies have activated outfielder Brenton Doyle from the bereavement list. In a corresponding move, the Rockies designated outfielder Zac Veen to Triple-A Albuquerque. Doyle has been held out of the starting nine since April 10 due to a quadriceps injury, before hitting the bereavement list. However, he did take one at-bat on April […]


Lucas Erceg Returns To Action On Tuesday

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Lucas Erceg (foot) returned to action on Tuesday evening during their victory over the Colorado Rockies. Erceg logged a scoreless frame in the eighth inning. He did not allow a baserunner en route to picking up his seventh hold of the season. Erceg has been held out of action since […]


Nolan Gorman Expected To See More Playing Time

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Nolan Gorman is expected to be given more playing time for the time being. Gorman played the hero during their victory over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday evening when he hit a three-run double. As a result, the team will reward him with more opportunities, especially with Brandon Donovan (rib) […]


Quinn Mathews Set To Start Throwing Program

St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Quinn Mathews (shoulder) is set to begin a throwing program on Wednesday or Thursday. Mathews was placed on the 7-day injured list with shoulder soreness. However, it appears this injury is not overly serious, and the top pitching prospect is already set to begin building back up. After an impressive […]


Jac Caglianone Posts Third Straight Multi-Hit Game

Kansas City Royals first base prospect Jac Caglianone went 3-for-4 with one double, two runs, and a 1:1 K:BB during their contest against Double-A Tulsa on Tuesday evening.

Nick Nastrini Rebounds In Latest Outing

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Nick Nastrini tossed six shutout innings on Tuesday evening against Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. In this outing, Nastrini allowed just two hits and two walks. He struck out six. This was a much-needed bounce-back for Nastrini as he posted an underwhelming 6.89 ERA with a 1.66 WHIP across his first four starts […]


Alex Pham Strikes Out 11 On Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Alex Pham enjoyed one of the best starts of his professional career on Tuesday evening against Double-A Altoona. In this outing, the right-hander tossed five 1/3 innings of one-run ball. He allowed just three hits, no walks, and struck out an impressive 11 batters. The former 19th-round pick has flashed high […]

Crisantes went 4-for-4 at the dish with a home run, three RBI, and a stolen base. This outing extended his current hitting streak to three games.
