PROSPECT: Ty Madden, SP, Detroit Tigers ANALYSIS: If Madden wouldn’t have been injured in his draft season, he would have potentially gone in the top 10 selections of the 2021 draft, rather than with the 32nd overall pick to the Tigers.

Hopefully, Garcia only needs a […]

He opened […]

Chase Silseth - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Chase Silseth, SP, Los Angeles Angels ANALYSIS: Silseth enjoyed a meteoric rise through the Angels’ system in 2022, going from an 11th-round selection out of the University of Arizona in 2021 to making seven starts with the big league club a year later.

PROSPECT: Maikel Garcia, SS, Kansas City Royals ANALYSIS: After impressing in a nine-game MLB audition last season, Garcia competed for a role until the very end of spring.

Carlos Correa Remains Out Of Lineup

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (back) remains out of the lineup on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox.

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Zach Eflin (back) is going on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday with lower back tightness.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh is not in Tuesday's starting lineup against the Miami Marlins and left-hander Jesus Luzardo.
