Milwaukee Brewers catching prospect
Jeferson Quero continued to work his way back from a strained hamstring, playing in his ninth rehab game for the team's Arizona Complex League affiliate on Tuesday, and what a game it was. The 22-year-old went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run, four RBI, and two runs scored in the contest. The Brewers' second-ranked prospect could be headed back to Triple-A Nashville after this performance and has a chance to make his MLB debut later this year. The Venezuelan backstop logged one plate appearance at Triple-A last year before going down with a shoulder injury that kept him out all season, but MLB's 41st-ranked prospect has a solid offensive profile that could make him an intriguing add in fantasy if he were to get the call, although he's not a stash candidate at this time.

Seattle Mariners catcher
Cal Raleigh continued to provide elite power in Tuesday's 9-1 win over the Nationals. Raleigh went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs and two strikeouts. The 28-year-old launched a first-inning
Mitchell Parker fastball into the left-field second deck, and he got Parker again into the left-field bullpen in the fifth inning. Raleigh is now second in baseball with 19 HR and has a career-best .258/.372/.603 slash line with 37 RBI and a surprising five stolen bases. Fantasy managers came into the season expecting top-tier power and decent counting stats from Raleigh, but they were also likely expecting a low batting average and minimal stolen bases. He has started the season on a fantasy All-Star pace and has been a five-category contributor.

Texas Rangers relief pitcher
Robert Garcia earned his third save of the season in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Blue Jays. Garcia came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by two and shut the door with a 1-2-3 performance, including two strikeouts.
Luke Jackson, who leads the team in saves, pitched the eighth inning with the score tied 0-0. Garcia has pitched well this season, converting three of four save opportunities with 10 holds to go with a 2.35 ERA, a 1.00 WHIP, and an 8.22 K/9 rate in 23 innings of work. The Rangers have implemented four different relievers in save situations over the last 15 days, and Garcia is tied for the most opportunities in that time with three. The team appears to be in flux when it comes to determining a potential closer, but Garcia has the sturdiest peripherals, making him worth considering for fantasy managers in deeper roto leagues.

Washington Nationals pitching prospect
Travis Sykora dominated in his High-A debut on Sunday. The team's top-ranked prospect tossed four scoreless innings for Wilmington, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out nine of the 13 batters he faced. The 6-foot-6 righty struck out 129 batters in 85 innings last year at Single-A, registering a ridiculous 39.2 percent strikeout rate. After just two starts there this season, the Nats promoted the former third-round draft pick, and he looks like he's up for the challenge so far. The 21-year-old should get a taste of Double-A by the end of the year, and at this rate, he could be in line for a major league debut sometime next year. With the type of strikeout numbers he's putting up, dynasty managers should be on high alert.

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter
Shohei Ohtani smashed his league-leading 20th home run during a 9-5 defeat of the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday. It was the third straight game with a homer for Ohtani, who knocked in two in the fourth inning on a 363-foot opposite field drive to left against Guardians right-hander
Tanner Bibee. Ohtani ended the night 1-for-3 with two walks and an additional run scored. The three-time MVP has continued to serve as a fantasy goldmine this season with a .296/.396/.657 line, 35 RBI, 59 runs, and 11 stolen bases through 250 plate appearances.

San Francisco Giants right-hander
Logan Webb (5-5) struck out 10 Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, but it wasn't enough to earn the victory. Instead, Webb suffered his fifth loss of the season after giving up three earned runs on seven hits and one walk over six innings. Webb allowed all of those runs in the first three innings before taming the Tigers' offense for the rest of his night to secure his eighth quality start of 2025. The 28-year-old has now piled up 10 or more strikeouts in three starts this season. Overall, Webb has recorded a superb 2.82 ERA with even better underlying metrics (2.18 FIP, 2.27 xFIP) and 84:17 K:BB over 73 1/3 frames. He'll head back to San Francisco to face the division-rival San Diego Padres on Monday.

Detroit Tigers right-hander
Jack Flaherty (3-6) shut out the Giants over six innings on Tuesday to pick up his third victory of the season. Flaherty yielded a mere two hits (both singles) and racked up eight strikeouts against one walk during the 3-1 win. It was the best outing of 2025 for Flaherty, who has gotten back on track since a rocky three-start stretch from April 28-May 10. In three starts since then, Flaherty has combined for 18 1/3 innings of five-run ball with 10 hits allowed and 22:5 K:BB. The 29-year-old owns a respectable 3.94 ERA with a lofty 72 punchouts and just 19 walks through 59 1/3 frames this season. He has a favorable matchup against the Chicago White Sox next Monday.

Milwaukee Brewers designated hitter/outfielder
Christian Yelich smacked a walk-off grand slam to lead the team to a 5-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. Yelich stepped to the plate against Red Sox right-hander
Liam Hendriks with one out in the bottom of the 10th and ended the game with a 400-foot blast, his 10th of the year. It capped off a highly productive night for Yelich, who added a double and a stolen base during a 2-for-5 showing. With a .210/.296/.385 line across 226 plate appearances, the 33-year-old former MVP is off to a poor start this season. However, Yelich is currently enjoying a five-game hitting streak in which he has gone 9-for-21 with three homers, eight RBI, seven runs scored, and two steals. He'll attempt to keep rolling Wednesday against Red Sox righty
Brayan Bello.

Detroit Tigers shortstop prospect
Kevin McGonigle went 2-for-5 with a walk, a double, and two runs scored on Tuesday for High-A West Michigan. The Tigers' second-ranked prospect (MLB No. 26) injured his ankle on Opening Day and recently completed a six-game rehab assignment for Single-A Lakeland, finally returning to action at High-A on May 21. The former 37th-overall draft pick is 5-for-14 in the five games since returning with six walks compared to four strikeouts, and has four doubles in the last three games alone. The 20-year-old is coming off a fantastic 2024 campaign in which he slashed .309/.401/.452 with five home runs, 22 steals, and a minuscule 8.5 percent strikeout rate, which saw him make a big jump up the prospect ranks. He's a couple of years away from the big leagues, but has great bat-to-ball skills to go along with some speed, so dynasty managers should keep an eye on how he performs the rest of the year.

Cincinnati Reds shortstop
Elly De La Cruz crushed a pair of solo home runs to help lead the team to a 7-2 win over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday. De La Cruz's first homer, a 436-footer, came in the fourth inning against right-hander Jonathan Bowlen. He followed that up in the sixth with a 451-foot blast into the Kaufman Stadium fountain off righty
Taylor Clarke. The switch-hitting 23-year-old finished the night 2-for-4 with a walk and an additional run scored. De La Cruz is now slashing .256/.331/.443 with 11 homers, 40 RBI, and 17 steals over 245 trips to the plate this season. He is currently riding a five-game hitting streak in which he has gone a prolific 8-for-21 with three HRs, seven RBI, and nine runs.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect
Roman Anthony flexed some muscle on Tuesday with a leadoff home run that registered a 115.5 mph exit velocity, finishing the day 1-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, and two runs scored in the contest for Triple-A Worcester. The game's top-ranked prospect already owned the highest average EV at Triple-A coming into the game, and there will be more of the same on a nightly basis so long as he's in the minors. The 21-year-old has eight home runs and has been on base in 23 straight games, either via hit or walk. He's just waiting for an opportunity to open up in Boston, although at some point, it seems he'll force their hand. The left-handed slugger is the top prospect stash for fantasy in all formats.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect
Josue De Paula snapped a 4-for-33 (.121) skid on Tuesday by going 3-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run for High-A Great Lakes. Despite the recent downturn, the 20-year-old owns a solid .277/.407/.898 slash line with eight home runs and 11 stolen bases on the season. The .407 OBP is buoyed by a phenomenal 17.5 percent walk rate, walking more than he's struck out this season (34:31). MLB's 33rd-ranked prospect will continue to climb the ladder and could be knocking on the door to the majors in the latter half of next year. With the amount of future offensive potential he can still grow into, managers in dynasty leagues should remain very interested in his progress.

Houston Astros outfielder
Jose Altuve delivered a performance to remember Tuesday in an 11-1 blowout of the Athletics. Altuve finished a perfect 4-for-4 with two home runs (his seventh and eighth of the season) and three RBI. The nine-time All-Star's production hasn't been great this season, but he has looked more like his vintage self of late. Altuve has raised his line to a respectable .272/.321/.417 during a five-game hitting streak in which he has gone an eye-popping 12-for-21 with four homers, seven RBI, and eight runs scored. He'll attempt to keep posting video game-like numbers Wednesday against Athletics right-hander
Luis Severino. Altuve is a modest 8-of-26 with one extra-base hit (a double), one RBI, five strikeouts, and no walks versus Severino.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher
Bryce Miller (elbow) has a bone spur in the back of his pitching elbow, which caused the inflammation, reports Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Miller feels good after resting his elbow since May 11, and the Mariners don't anticipate any further management of the spur or inflammation. He's nearing a return from the injured list, with reports that he could skip a rehab assignment and start for Seattle as early as this weekend. He was struggling prior to the injury, as he has posted a 5.22 ERA and 1.54 WHIP so far this year.

Seattle Mariners outfielder
Victor Robles (shoulder) is beginning the strengthening part of his rehab but probably won't be back until September, reports Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. His latest scan showed stability and good healing, but he won't be able to take part in baseball activities until July. It's a long road to recovery for Robles, who fractured his shoulder while making a catch on April 6. The positive news is that he avoided surgery and could still be part of a playoff push for Seattle down the stretch.
