The Cincinnati Reds have promoted infield prospect
Tyler Callihan to the major league roster. Callihan will also get the starting nod during the first half of their doubleheader on Wednesday afternoon against the St. Louis Cardinals. Callihan is slated to bat in the nine-hole and cover the keystone. The former third-round pick has enjoyed an impressive start to the Triple-A regular season and is being rewarded with an early MLB debut. Through 24 games, Callihan has posted a strong .303/.410/.528 slash line with four doubles, four home runs, and six stolen bases. The 24-year-old needed just 30 career games at the Triple-A level to prove he was ready for the big leagues. Fantasy managers should monitor his production as he could find a short-term role in the big leagues with
Jeimer Candelario (spine), who hit the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. However, he is best to fade in DFS in his MLB debut.

New York Yankees infielder
Jazz Chisholm Jr. (oblique) will have testing on his right oblique during the team's off day on Thursday. Manager Aaron Boone said there is some concern it could be an injured-list situation, although Chisholm told him that he feels "fine." Although the Yankees' lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles hasn't been posted, fantasy managers should be expecting the 27-year-old to sit out. Depending on what testing reveals on Thursday, Chisholm could also be absent this weekend in the Bronx against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays. Although he's hitting just .181 (19-for-105) on the year, Chisholm does have seven home runs and six stolen bases and should be stashed in an IL spot if he lands on the shelf. If Chisholm ends up missing extended time with this injury,
Pablo Reyes figures to be the primary beneficiary at the keystone.

Detroit Tigers first baseman/designated hitter
Spencer Torkelson will get his first day off of the season in Wednesday's series finale against the hosting Houston Astros.
Colt Keith will shift to first base and bat fifth, while outfielder
Kerry Carpenter handles the DH duties and hits leadoff against Astros right-hander
A.J. Blubaugh. Torkelson will get his first day of rest in 2025 after going 4-for-31 in his last nine games. However, the former first overall pick in 2020 out of Arizona State has provided fantasy managers with plenty of production through the first month of the season, hitting .243 (26-for-107) with eight home runs, 24 RBI, 20 runs scored and a stolen base in 30 games played. He should be back for Thursday's series opener against the Los Angeles Angels. Nobody in Detroit's starting nine on Wednesday has faced Blubaugh.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect
Roman Anthony (foot) returned to the starting nine on Tuesday evening and went 1-for-5 with a strikeout. This is an excellent sign as the budding star was dealing with a minor foot injury over the weekend. However, Anthony was able to make a quick return to the starting nine. Through his first 24 games of the Triple-A regular season, the No. 2-ranked prospect in the sport on MLB Pipeline has posted a stellar .306/.439/.565 slash line with five doubles, five home runs, and two stolen bases. Last season, during his first taste of Triple-A action, the outfielder posted a .344/.463/.519 slash line with 12 doubles. Given his impressive start to the campaign, Anthony should be viewed as a top stash option in all standard formats.

New York Mets outfield prospect
Carson Benge has been heating up at the plate at High-A Brooklyn. Over his last five contests, Benge has held a .500/.600/.750 slash line with two doubles, one home run, four RBI, and a stolen base. Prior to this surge, Benge went 1-for-22 over his last five contests. Through his first 17 games at the High-A level, the former 19th overall pick in last year's draft has posted a strong .292/.403/.415 slash line with five doubles, one home run, and a 17:12 K:BB. Benge is currently considered the No. 3-best prospect in the New York system and the No. 98-ranked prospect in the sport on MLB Pipeline. If Benge continues to produce at High-A, the Oklahoma State product should contend for an early promotion to Double-A.

The Cincinnati Reds have officially promoted right-handed pitching prospect
Chase Petty to the MLB roster ahead of his MLB debut on Wednesday evening against the St. Louis Cardinals. Petty is slated to start the second half of Wednesday's doubleheader. The 22-year-old has enjoyed a strong start to the Triple-A campaign and is being rewarded with an early MLB debut. Through his first 23 innings at Triple-A Louisville, Petty has held a 3.52 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP. He has struck out 27 batters and served up just nine free passes. In his last start, Petty tossed six shutout innings and tallied seven punchouts against the Iowa Cubs. He is worth a look in deeper NL-only formats facing the St. Louis Cardinals. However, he will likely be optioned back to Triple-A after this start and should not be targeted in shallow formats.

The Kansas City Royals have officially promoted left-handed pitching prospect
Noah Cameron from Triple-A Omaha ahead of his MLB debut on Wednesday. Cameron is slated to fill in for the injured
Cole Ragans (groin) during Wednesday's contest against the Tampa Bay Rays. Cameron has enjoyed a solid start to the Triple-A regular season. Through his first 22 1/3 innings of work, the Central Arkansas product has held a 3.22 ERA with a strong 1.03 WHIP. He has struck out 27 batters and shown strong command as he has served up eight free passes. Last season at Triple-A, the southpaw posted an impressive 2.32 ERA with a 1.01 WHIP across 54 1/3 innings of work. Given his steady production at Triple-A, fantasy managers should consider adding Cameron as a streaming option on Wednesday ahead of his outing against the Rays.

Chicago Cubs infield prospect
Matt Shaw went 4-for-5 with a double and an RBI during Tuesday's contest against Triple-A Buffalo. This was Shaw's third-straight game tallying multiple hits. Since returning to Triple-A Iowa on April 18, the Maryland product has held a strong .290/.405/.452 slash line with two doubles and a home run. Shaw was able to make the Opening Day roster out of spring training but was optioned back to the minor leagues after he struggled. Across his first 18 games in the big leagues, the former 13th overall pick held a modest .172/.294/.241 slash line with just two extra-base hits. Fantasy managers in deeper NL-only formats should continue to monitor his status at Triple-A, as he should contend for an early return to the big leagues. When he does return, he will be worth rostering in all standard leagues given the potential he has shown at Triple-A.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander
Kyle Gibson (0-1) made his season debut Tuesday night but struggled significantly in the 15-3 loss to the New York Yankees. He allowed nine earned runs on 11 hits, including five home runs, and was pulled before finishing the fourth inning. The Bronx Bombers jumped on the 37-year-old early, launching back-to-back-to-back home runs in the first. His rough outing only adds to the concerns for a Baltimore rotation that has struggled to find consistency early in the season. Gibson will look to rebound in his next scheduled start on Tuesday on the road against the Minnesota Twins.

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander
Bowden Francis (2-4) faced significant challenges on Tuesday night, surrendering seven earned runs in just three innings in a 10-2 home loss to the Red Sox. He was tagged with his fourth loss of the season. Francis gave up five home runs and struck out only one batter, capping off a tough April. After showing promise as a starter for Toronto last August, Francis now holds a 5.28 ERA over 30 2/3 innings, with opponents batting .274 against him. The Blue Jays will need him to regain his form as they fall behind in the AL East. Francis will look to rebound in his next start on Sunday at home against the Cleveland Guardians.

Boston Red Sox left-hander
Garrett Crochet (3-2) continued his early-season dominance in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Blue Jays. Crochet earned the win after allowing two runs on four hits while striking out six over seven innings. He now has a 2.05 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 50 strikeouts through 44 innings and has firmly established himself as the Red Sox's No. 1 starter. Crochet figures to shoulder a significant workload as Boston pushes to stay in the mix in a competitive American League East. The southpaw's next scheduled start is Sunday at home against the Minnesota Twins.

April 30, 2025
Cleveland Guardians right-hander
Tanner Bibee went seven strong innings in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Minnesota Twins. Bibee recorded five strikeouts and allowed just one run on five hits, lowering his ERA to 4.36 on the season. He did not factor into the decision. While he was not able to record a win after a
Ty France home run tied the game in the fifth, Bibee still built on his previous outing in a significant way. He now has 25 strikeouts in 33 innings and carries a 1.30 WHIP while holding opponents to a .242 average. Bibee will look to build on Tuesday's performance in his next start on Sunday on the road against the Toronto Blue Jays.
