Philadelphia Phillies shortstop prospect
Aidan Miller continued his hot stretch of hitting on Saturday, going 2-for-4 with a double, two walks, two RBI, four runs scored, and a pair of stolen bases at Double-A Reading. The Phils' second-ranked prospect has now hit safely in 10 of his last 11 games, going 16-for-43 (.372) over that stretch. Saturday's game also marked the fifth straight game in which he stole a base. The performance pushed his season-long slash line to .237/.356/.380 with nine home runs and 44 steals. With a hot bat, the 21-year-old could see some time at Triple-A before the season is over in order to prepare him for next season. The right-handed hitter has plenty of pop to go along with a good eye (14.3 percent BB%) and a ton of speed, all of which make for impactful fantasy assets, so keep an eye on him as a major league debut could come as soon as next season.

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop prospect
Carson Williams belted his 19th home run of the season on Saturday in a 1-for-4 day at the plate at Triple-A Durham. The Rays' top-ranked prospect can clearly make hard contact, and even looked like he was beginning to hit for average from mid-June to mid-July when he hit .308 over a 22-game stretch, but since then he's 9-for-55 (.163) while the strikeouts continue to plague him, recording 22 strikeouts to just five walks over the last 15 games. For the season, the former first-rounder is slashing .212/.312/.426 with a 34.5 percent strikeout rate. If he can get going, maybe the Rays call him up in September, otherwise, he should make a debut in 2026, although he may get the call for his glove more than his bat.

Seattle Mariners outfielder
Julio Rodriguez came up clutch for this team during Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Rodriguez got the fun started off early with a two-run home run in the first inning. He continued his hot swinging with a solo blast in the third inning as well. He finished this game 2-for-5 with two homers and three RBI in the win. Rodriguez now has 23 homers on the season and 22 steals to his name. That being said, Rodriguez could very well get to a 30-30 season if everything keeps going his way.

Seattle Mariners catcher
Cal Raleigh has been in a bit of a slump recently, but was able to make some noise during Saturday's game. Raleigh helped extend the lead with a three-run home run off right-hander
Joe Boyle in the third inning. It was his 44th long ball of the season, which now puts him in third place for single season homers by a catcher. Raleigh put together an unbelievable first half of the season, but has really struggled to find the same magic since then. There is still plenty of time for Raleigh to keep mashing and earn himself the single-season homer record for catchers.

San Diego Padres catching prospect
Ethan Salas (back) has been cleared to resume baseball activities. The Padres' top-ranked prospect hasn't played in a game since April 17 due to a stress reaction in his back. The 19-year-old played in only 10 games at Double-A San Antonio before succumbing to injury, going 6-for-32 (.188) with a 6:5 BB:K and two steals. With about a month left in the season, there is a chance that he could return before it ends, however, at this point, there is no need to rush it. The left-handed hitter may get assigned to the Arizona Fall League (AFL) for some extra work before the year is out, just like in 2024 when he participated in the AFL. Either way, with just 10 games played at the Double-A level, that's likely where the youngster will begin the 2026 season before making a push to Triple-A. MLB's 19th-overall prospect still has great potential in his bat, so dynasty managers should continue to keep tabs on his progression.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher
Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) recently underwent a procedure to remove a parasite from his digestive tract. Woods Richardson was placed on the injured list in early August due to an illness. The organization figured out it was a parasite that he likely got from a seafood meal. Now with it removed, Woods Richardson is feeling much better. He lost quite a bit of weight because of this, so he'll need time to build himself back up. Woods Richardson will probably need a few rehab starts, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him back in the mix until late August. The 24-year-old is really only a deep league option at the moment.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder
Michael Conforto (knee) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Conforto was hit by a pitch in the knee during the sixth inning of this contest. He stayed in to run the bases, but was pulled out of the lineup when his spot came back up in the order. Conforto finished this game 1-for-1 with a double and a walk before exiting.
Alex Call took over in the outfield and is likely to play in Sunday's game with the Dodgers scheduled to face left-handed
Eric Lauer. That being said, Conforto will likely sit out on Sunday, but fantasy managers should check back for another update.

New York Yankees starting pitcher
Gerrit Cole (elbow) is reportedly close to beginning to throw, according to manager Aaron Boone. There was no date or many details, but Cole is scheduled to throw at some point in August. This would be the first time that Cole has pitched since having Tommy John surgery in mid-March. Cole won't pitch during the 2025 season, but the hope is that he'll be ready for the start of the 2026 campaign. It sounds like the veteran right-hander is making progress, but has a long road ahead of him.

Washington Nationals outfielder
James Wood belted his first home run since July 9 to end a 21-game drought in a 4-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. Wood led the game off with a 385-foot homer against left-hander
Carson Whisenhunt and later doubled to finish 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI. The 22-year-old made his first All-Star appearance and participated in the Home Run Derby last month, but his production over the past few weeks has been abysmal. During his 21-game dry spell, he went a shocking 9-for-80 (.113) with two RBI and 38 strikeouts against nine walks. While Wood did strike out three more times on Saturday, it's encouraging that his power stroke finally came back. Despite his month-long tailspin, Wood is still slashing a more-than-respectable .256/.357/.484 with 25 homers, 73 RBI, 64 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases in 502 plate appearances in his first full season.

Boston Red Sox infielder
Marcelo Mayer (wrist) still hasn't resumed baseball activities since he received an anti-inflammation injection in his ailing right wrist on Aug. 2, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. The Red Sox hoped Mayer would be ready by now, but it appears that surgery is still an option for the 22-year-old rookie. Before a sprained wrist forced him to the 10-day injured list on July 24, Mayer struggled to a .228/.272/.402 line with four homers, 10 RBI, and 20 runs scored in 136 plate appearances. He won't be able to improve on those numbers this season unless his wrist starts responding to treatment.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander
Jacob Misiorowski (leg) faced hitters over three simulated innings and threw approximately 60 pitches on Saturday. Misiorowski said he felt great afterward and expects to come off the 15-day injured list when he's eligible on Aug. 15, according to the team. Misiorowski landed on the IL on Aug. 3 (retroactive to July 31) with a contusion in his left tibia, an injury that has temporarily interrupted an exhilarating start to his career. The 23-year-old flamethrower has logged 33 1/3 innings over seven starts and gone 4-1 with a 2.70 ERA, a .96 WHIP, and 47 strikeouts against 14 walks.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander/designated hitter
Shohei Ohtani will make his next scheduled start on the mound Wednesday against the Angels, manager Dave Roberts told reporters. The plan is for Ohtani to throw four innings against his former team. Ohtani reached the four-inning mark for the first time this season in his previous start on Aug. 6 against the St. Louis Cardinals. He held them to one run on two hits while striking out eight and issuing no walks. Ohtani has made eight short starts this year in his return from 2023 Tommy John surgery and recorded stellar numbers across the board. The two-way sensation has put up a 2.37 ERA with a 1.11 WHIP, 25 strikeouts, and five walks in 19 innings.

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman/outfielder
Brendan Donovan (groin) was out of the lineup against the Chicago Cubs on Saturday with tightness in his left groin, Jeff Jones of the BND reports. It's unknown if Donovan will also need off on Sunday, so fantasy managers should check back for more information.
Thomas Saggese filled in at second base for him Saturday, while outfielder
Lars Nootbaar took over the leadoff spot in the Cardinals' lineup. Donovan made his first All-Star team this year and has hit .278/.349/.402 with nine homers, 43 RBI, 57 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 466 plate appearances. He's off to a slow start in August, though, having gone 4-for-24 with no home runs and one RBI in six games.
