Shohei Ohtani Sets The Tone With Leadoff Homer
Shohei Ohtani got his team off to a strong start against the Athletics by taking the third pitch he saw from rookie Gunnar Hogland into the right field bleachers. He finished the night 2-for-4 with an intentional walk, two runs scored, and an RBI. Ohtani has five home runs in his last nine games and seven in his last 14. He is hitting .307 on the season after hitting .351 over his last nine games with a .541 ISO, a .540 wOBA, and 10 barrels during that nine-game stretch. Ohtani is on pace for 49 homers and 38 stolen bases in an impressive follow-up to his historic 2024. He remains an elite producer in all fantasy formats.Source: ESPN.com
Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Andy Pages Hits Home Run No. 7
Andy Pages hit a solo home run in the second inning of Wednesday night's 9-3 win over the Athletics. Pages led off the second frame with a 417-foot blast to left field, which was one of his three hits on the night. He finished 3-for-4 with a walk, a strikeout, one run scored, and one RBI. On the season, Pages is hitting a solid .291 with his seven home runs, five stolen bases, and a .365 wOBA. The 24-year-old righty has five multi-hit games in his last 10 contests while going 15-for-44 (.341) with two doubles, a triple, and Wednesday's home run. After a slow start, he's become a very productive piece in the Dodgers' outfield, and he definitely is worth a look if he's on waiver wires in standard mixed leagues. His role as a regular in the productive Dodgers' lineup gives him a high floor, and his recent form gives him a very good ceiling as well.Source: ESPN.com

Tarik Skubal Strikes Out 11 In No-Decision
Tarik Skubal allowed seven hits and five earned runs over 6 1/3 innings in his team's 6-5 win over the Boston Red Sox. He walked one and struck out 11, but did not factor into the decision. The 28-year-old was mostly superb, tossing 67 of 95 pitches for strikes and inducing 21 whiffs for an elite 38% CSW. He was initially in line for a quality start, but Boston strung together a few hits in the seventh and plated three runs that Skubal was on the hook for (two after he was pulled). Fortunately, he wasn't in danger of being saddled with a loss, but it's an outing he'll want to forget. Even with the sizable run total let up, the California native still holds an exceptional 2.67 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and 71:6 K:BB ratio through his first nine starts (54 innings). He'll carry a 4-2 record into his next outing, which projects to come on the road against the St. Louis Cardinals early next week.Source: ESPN

Source: MiLB.com
Atlanta Braves right-handed pitching prospect Luke Sinnard struck out a season-high nine batters during his start against Low-A Columbia on Wednesday. In this outing, Sinnard logged six innings of work. He allowed no runs, three hits, and one walk. Through his first 23 2/3 innings of work at the Low-A level, Sinnard has held an impressive 0.77 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP. He has only allowed a run in two of his six starts. He has tallied 36 punchouts. However, he has struggled to command his pitches at times, as he has served up 11 walks. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression as the third-round pick from last year's MLB Draft should be in the mix to join High-A later this season.Sean Sullivan Tosses Five Shutout Innings In Double-A Season Debut
Sean Sullivan logged five shutout innings during his Double-A season debut on Wednesday evening. Sullivan was sidelined during the start of the season after recovering from hip surgery. He made one start in the Arizona Complex League and with Low-A before getting the call to return to Double-A. On Wednesday, Sullivan allowed just two hits and no walks against Binghamton. He struck out three batters. This was a strong season debut for Sullivan. Last season, the southpaw logged 32 innings with Double-A Hartford and held a strong 1.97 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP. If he continues to find success, he should be in the mix to make his Triple-A debut early in the 2025 season.Source: MiLB.com
Colorado Rockies left-handed pitching prospect Chase Burns Punches Out Seven In Latest Start
Chase Burns struck out seven batters across five innings of one-run ball on Wednesday against Double-A Birmingham. In this outing, Burns allowed just two hits and no walks. Since joining Double-A Chattanooga, Burns has logged 19 innings to the tune of a stellar 1.89 ERA with a 0.95 WHIP. He has struck out 28 batters and served up just two free passes. Burns began his season with High-A and held a 3.02 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP across three starts before getting the call to Double-A. The Reds drafted Burns with the second pick in last year's MLB Draft. Given his current production at Double-A, Burns should be in the mix to join the majors later this season.Source: MiLB.com
Cincinnati Reds starting pitching prospect Andrew Salas Continues To Flash Speed Upside
Source: MiLB.com
Miami Marlins infield prospect Andrew Salas went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases during their contest against Low-A Fort Myers on Wednesday. This was Salas' second time swiping three bags in a single contest this season. Over his last 13 contests, the 17-year-old has posted an impressive .327/.444/.327 line with a 14:11 K:BB and nine stolen bases. Through his first 26 games at the Low-A level, Salas has been able to hold his own, posting a .304/.538/.337 line with a 26:26 K:BB and 14 stolen bases. Given the 17-year-old's strong eye at the plate and elite speed upside, he should be in the mix to join High-A in the coming weeks. He is currently ranked as the No. 6 prospect in the Miami system but will likely continue climbing prospect boards this season.Gage Jump Strikes Out Six On Wednesday
Gage Jump tossed six shutout innings of work on Wednesday evening against Double-A San Antonio. This was his Double-A debut. In this outing, Jump allowed just five hits and one walk. He struck out six batters. Since posting a high 6.35 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP across his first 11 1/3 innings of work this season, the southpaw has flipped the script. Over his last 25 2/3 innings of work, the LSU product has allowed just one run and one walk and struck out an impressive 34 batters. Jump joined the Athletics system in the 2024 MLB Draft. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression as he is moving quite quickly through the system. If he continues to find success at Double-A, he could be in the mix to join Triple-A in the second half of the season.Source: MiLB.com
Athletics left-handed pitching prospect Agustin Ramirez Goes Deep In Victory
Agustin Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run during their 3-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday evening. Ramirez went deep in the fourth inning against Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon. Over his last nine games, the young backstop has been swinging a hot bat, posting a stellar .294/.351/.588 slash line with four doubles, two home runs, and a 10:3 K:BB. Overall, the 23-year-old has looked quite comfortable through his first taste of the major leagues, holding a .260/.305/.571 line with nine doubles and five long balls across a 20-game stint. Under the hood, he has generated an impressive 51.7% hard-hit rate and a 12.1% barrel rate, which suggests his power numbers should continue to remain consistent. He should be viewed as a C1 in all formats, given his power upside.Source: MLB.com
Miami Marlins catching prospect Hurston Waldrep Records Quality Start
Hurston Waldrep allowed two runs on three hits and three walks across six innings against Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday. He struck out six. The 23-year-old has strung back-to-back effective outings, giving up only four runs and allowing five hits in 11 1/3 innings while striking out 16. The former Florida pitcher made his MLB debut last season and struggled with 13 runs allowed in only seven innings. The right-hander's season-long numbers in 2025 are still poor, with a 5.77 ERA and an elevated 14.7% walk rate. While the Braves have dealt with some injuries in the rotation, it appears Waldrep needs more refinement in the minor leagues before being brought back to the majors. He is currently ranked as the 2nd overall prospect in the Braves system on MLB.com.Source: MiLB.com
Atlanta Braves pitching prospect Brandon Sproat Gives Up Six Earned Runs Wednesday
Brandon Sproat allowed six earned runs on four hits and three walks in 4 1/3 innings on Wednesday against Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He struck out four and gave up three home runs. It's been a bit of a downseason for Sproat so far, as his strikeout rate has fallen from 28.3% last season to 18.6% this season. It is still a small sample in just 28 innings, but his season-long ERA now sits at 5.85. The 24-year-old still ranks as one of the best arms in the Mets farm system and should be expected to debut sometime this summer. He would be worthy of picking up in deeper leagues as he will benefit from a pitcher-friendly home ballpark. Sproat is currently ranked as the 68th overall prospect in baseball on MLB.com.Source: MiLB.com
New York Mets pitching prospect Brady House Homers On Wednesday
Brady House went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's game for Triple-A Rochester. The top prospect has gotten off to a solid start in 2025 with a slash line of .286/.346/.442 and 114 wRC+ through 38 games. House is faring better in his second stint at Triple-A as he struggled over 542 PA last season, with a 93 wRC+. He is young for the level at just 21 years old and is showing signs of improvement this season. House reduced the rate of chasing outside the zone. However, he still has issues making consistent contact. With the Nationals' third base spot seemingly wide open, House should have an opportunity to make an impact with the big league club at some point this summer, which would make him worthy of stash in most leagues. He is currently ranked as the 95th overall prospect on MLB.com.Source: MiLB.com
