Seattle Mariners catcher prospect
Harry Ford went 2-for-5 with a home run, double, and six RBI in Wednesday's 10-0 win against Triple-A Sacramento. Ford stuffed the box score and posted a career high in RBI. The 22-year-old has displayed a mature approach at the plate this season, with a 36:38 BB:K. His quality of contact has been promising as well, with a 45.6 percent hard-hit rate. Ford is ranked as the number 63 overall prospect in baseball on MLB.com. There's a decent chance we see Ford make his MLB debut at some point this season, with him seeing plenty of reps at DH. His combination of skills would make for a solid speculative add in most formats.

New York Yankees outfielder and reigning American League MVP
Aaron Judge continued to be unstoppable in Wednesday's 6-3 victory over the hosting Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium, homering for the third straight game. Judge finished 1-for-4 on the evening with a solo bomb, his 25th of the year, in the seventh inning off reliever
Steven Cruz. He also walked once and struck out twice. Judge hit two homers in Sunday's loss to the division-rival Boston Red Sox and now has eight RBI over the last three games. We're running out of things to say about Judge, who is now hitting .394 on the year with a 1.269 OPS with 25 home runs, which is one off the major-league lead of 26 (
Cal Raleigh). The 33-year-old slugger is in the 100th percentile in xwOBA, xBA, xSLG, xISO and xOBP.

Boston Red Sox rookie infielder
Marcelo Mayer, the team's No. 2 prospect, had his first career multi-homer game in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park. Mayer finished the contest going 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and two strikeouts. It was the first time that he homered at Fenway Park in just his 15th big-league after recently being called up from Triple-A Worcester. The 22-year-old became the youngest Red Sox player with a multi-homer game since
Rafael Devers did it at age 21 in 2018. Mayer ended May hitting .222 in his first seven games, but he's now up to a .294 average after hitting his first MLB long ball last Friday at Yankee Stadium. Manager Alex Cora called Mayer's swings "effortless." Mayer is the future at shortstop for Boston, but for now he'll continue to play third against righties with
Alex Bregman (quadriceps) on the injured list.

St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect
Tekoah Roby allowed six runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out five across 4 2/3 innings against Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday. Roby got hit around in his Triple-A debut and let up a good amount of hard contact. It was positive to see him reach 85 pitches in the outing at least. The 23-year-old was excellent in 47 innings at Double-A Springfield with a 2.49 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and a 57:11 K:BB. Roby ranks as the No. 4 pitching prospect in the Cardinals system on MLB.com. We could see the right-hander make his big-league debut at some point later in the season, and he could be worth keeping an eye on in deeper formats.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder
Teoscar Hernandez went yard for the first time since May 21 in the team's 5-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. Hernandez came to the plate in a 1-1 tie in the top of the sixth and smashed a three-run blast off right-hander
Jeremiah Estrada to give the Dodgers a 4-1 lead. The homer broke a 17-game dry spell for Hernandez, who finished 1-for-5 with two strikeouts. He now has 11 HRs this season to go with a strong RBI total (47), five stolen bases, and a .261/.288/.488 line in 233 plate appearances. Although solidly above average, Hernandez's numbers represent a notable drop-off from his 2024 output. He amassed a career-high 33 bombs last year and slashed .272/.339/.501. However, if you look at Hernandez's underlying metrics, his .346 xwOBA is right in line with last season's .348 mark.

New York Mets outfield prospect
Drew Gilbert went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 7-5 loss against Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Gilbert blasted his second home run in June, matching his total in all of May. The 24-year-old had been struggling a bit before tonight's performance, hitting .197/.312/.333 since the beginning of May. He has maintained a sound approach, however, with a 15.9 percent strikeout rate and 13.4 percent walk rate. Gilbert has primarily played in centerfield at Triple-A, and with a solid stretch of weeks, he could push for a promotion sometime this summer and share time with
Tyrone Taylor. He would make for a decent add in deeper formats and NL-only leagues.

June 11, 2025
Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter
Kyle Schwarber smacked his 21st home run of the season in the team's 7-2 victory against the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. The 431-foot solo shot off right-hander
Ben Brown was Schwarber's lone hit during a 1-for-3 afternoon, though he did pick up a walk, a stolen base, and an additional run scored. While Schwarber has gotten off to a horrid start in June (5-for-38 with 18 strikeouts and five walks), he's still hitting a prolific .246/.377/.544 with 47 RBI and 48 runs in 300 plate appearances. As a bonus for fantasy managers, the 32-year-old has stolen five bases and is on pace for just the second season of double-digit steals in his career.
--Connor ByrneSource: ESPN
June 11, 2025
Atlanta Braves outfielder
Ronald Acuna Jr. continued his fantastic start to the season with a three-hit performance in a 6-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. Acuna helped lead the Braves to a win with a 3-for-5 showing that included a fourth-inning two-run homer off Brewers starter
Chad Patrick. Acuna, who needed a year to recover from a torn left ACL, has thrived since making his season debut on May 23. The former MVP has posted an all-world .353/.436/.647 line with six homers and 11 RBI over 78 plate appearances. However, in the wake of a second major knee injury (he tore his right ACL in 2021), stolen bases have been absent from his game in 2025. Acuna swiped a whopping 73 bases during his most recent full season in 2023, but he's exercising caution and has yet to attempt a steal this year.
--Connor ByrneSource: ESPN
June 11, 2025
Pittsburgh Pirates pitching prospect
Bubba Chandler recorded only two outs while allowing one run on no hits and four walks against Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday. Chandler struggled to find the strike zone, with only 13 of his 31 pitches thrown for strikes. The 22-year-old's stuff is tantalizing, but his inconsistency in command is a bit concerning. In his first six starts of the season, he held a manageable 7.7 percent walk rate. In his last seven starts, he owns an elevated 15.3 percent walk rate. He combats it with a strikeout rate north of 30 percent, but there are some reasons to temper expectations. The right-hander should still be expected to be called up in the near future and is a quality stash in standard formats.
--Kyle McCarthySource: MiLB.com
June 11, 2025
Cleveland Guardians outfielder
Lane Thomas turned in his best game of the season in an 11-2 rout of the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. Thomas drilled a three-run homer, his first of the year, as part of a 3-for-5 afternoon. The 29-year-old averaged 20 homers, 20 steals, and 67 RBI per season from 2022-24, but he has started slowly in 2025 during an injury-riddled couple of months. Thomas has already spent time on the 10-day IL twice, including for a foot injury that shelved him from May 27 until this past Monday. Thanks in part to those issues, Thomas is hitting an unsightly .164/.227/.224 with two steals and six RBI in 75 plate appearances. He's 4-for-14 with an HR against his next opponent, Seattle Mariners right-hander
Luis Castillo. They'll face off on Friday.

June 11, 2025
Los Angeles Angels outfielder
Jo Adell connected for his sixth home run of June in the Halos' 6-5 win over the Athletics on Wednesday. Adell took a 95 mph fastball from right-hander
Osvaldo Bido 422 feet to left for a two-run blast that gave the Angels a 6-3 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning. He finished the day 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. The former top prospect slumped to a .190/.236/.210 line with two homers and 14 RBI through April, but he has significantly improved his numbers since the beginning of May. Adell is now batting a much more palatable .223/.296/.473 with 13 HRs and 34 RBI over 203 plate appearances. Furthermore, he ranks anywhere from the league's 83rd percentile to its 92nd percentile in barrel rate, xwOBA, and xSLG. After posting underwhelming production from 2020-24, Adell is finally showing signs of a potential breakout at the age of 26.

Minnesota Twins outfielder
Byron Buxton had a huge Wednesday night to help the team to a 6-2 win over the Texas Rangers. His most noteworthy contribution came with the Twins trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the third inning. Buxton stepped to the plate with two on and hit a mammoth 479-foot home run off right-hander
Jack Leiter to give the Twins the lead. It was the highlight of a dominant game for Buxton, who went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a stolen base. Buxton, fresh off back-to-back three-hit nights, is now slashing a robust .279/.339/.518 with 11 homers, 41 RBI, 38 runs, and 11 steals in 221 plate appearances. As always, the question is whether the uber-talented Buxton will be able to stay healthy. Injuries have limited the 31-year-old to just two 100-game seasons in his career. With 51 appearances so far, he has held up well this year and provided high-end production.

New England Patriots beat writer Mike Dussault writes that rookie running back
TreVeyon Henderson has been hard to miss during offseason workouts. His explosiveness is noticeable and he's been a consistent factor during team periods while showcasing a versatile skill set that could make him a key contributor in his first year in the NFL. The 5-foot-10 back's pass-protection skills have stood out, with his technique and mindset setting him apart. In addition to his blocking, Henderson has flashed plenty of playmaking ability during OTAs and training camp. The 22-year-old may never be a prototypical workhorse back because of his frame, but his pass-catching chops and big-play ability make him intriguing in fantasy right away in 2025, even with
Rhamondre Stevenson and
Antonio Gibson in the RB room. In PPR leagues, he could become an RB2 before the end of his rookie campaign.

New York Mets outfielder
Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk in Wednesday's 5-0 victory over the Nationals. He's enjoyed a nice start to June, picking up at least one hit in eight of ten games. The 32-year-old is slashing .236/.302/.439 with 12 home runs, 36 RBI, 32 runs, and four stolen bases this year. He is usually known more for his on-base skills than his power, but there has been a reversal so far this season. Nimmo's walk rate is all the way down to 8.0% compared to his 12.4% career mark, while he is already over halfway to his 2024 home run total. It's still a productive skill set for fantasy purposes, and he should be viewed as a top-35 outfielder moving forward.

Boston Celtics forward
Jaylen Brown (knee) underwent a right-knee arthroscopic debridement procedure on Wednesday. The procedure was successful, with the team reporting he is "expected to participate in training camp without limitation." It will be an interesting offseason in Boston, especially with the franchise potentially looking to move
Kristaps Porzingis,
Sam Hauser, and
Jrue Holiday. Brown's name has also been thrown around in trade rumblings, although it's unknown if the Celtics will seriously entertain any offers. The 28-year-old is coming off another solid season, averaging 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.2 steals. With
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) not expected back on the court anytime soon, Brown's statistical contributions could increase during the 2025-26 campaign. However, he's played fewer than 70 games in five of his previous six seasons, and his career-low 32.4% shooting from behind the arc in 2024-25 is something that will negatively impact his fantasy value for category managers.

New York Mets starting pitcher
David Peterson was masterful on Wednesday against the Nationals, striking out nine in a complete-game shutout. He allowed six hits and didn't walk a batter. It looked to be a great matchup going in against a Washington lineup that struggles against lefties, but no one would have predicted a start this good. He induced 13 whiffs on the night, and all five of his pitches each had an individual called strike plus whiff rate of 30 percent or higher. The 29-year-old has yet to allow more than three runs in a start all season long and will carry a 2.49 ERA into his next outing against the Braves.

According to Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype, Milwaukee Bucks guard
Kevin Porter Jr. is expected to decline his $2.55 million player option. The 25-year-old began the 2024-25 campaign with the Clippers before being moved to the Bucks ahead of the trade deadline. He played well in Milwaukee, averaging 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting a career-high 40.8% from behind the arc. The franchise is hoping to retain him, considering
Damian Lillard (Achilles) isn't expected to return anytime soon. If Porter stays in Milwaukee, he will have a good chance to handle things as a starter. If anything, he should have a routine role in head coach Doc Rivers' rotation.

Matt McCarty got off the mat up in Ontario. The American golfer shook off consecutive missed cuts to end up T-4 at the RBC Canadian Open. Now, the Masters was a bit rougher this year and McCarty did finish T-15. This is only his second U.S. Open appearance. In 2022, he missed the cut at The Country Club. The lack of experience and fear of inconsistent form has McCarty now at +40000 to win at Oakmont. That translates to +1100 for a Top 10. McCarty putts well (21st at 0.378 strokes gained). Unfortunately, McCarty often starts out poor. He averages 29.2 putts per round in Round 1 (126th). That number drops to 26.73 for Round 2 (1st on tour). The key to the U.S. Open is surviving the course. McCarty can do that but consistently is a red flag.

The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye said that Carolina Panthers wide receiver
Jalen Coker (undisclosed) looked fast during offseason practice on Wednesday, and his undisclosed soft-tissue injury appears to be mostly resolved. Both he and
Xavier Legette had nice catch-and-run plays during seven-on-seven drills. Coker went undrafted out of Holy Cross last year but latched on with the Panthers and exceeded expectations with a 32-478-2 line on 46 targets over 11 games (four starts). However, the return of veteran
Adam Thielen and the team drafting
Tetairoa McMillan in the first round of this year's NFL draft won't make it easier for the 23-year-old to develop a bigger role in his sophomore campaign in 2025. If he wants to remain in starting three-wide sets, he's going to have to beat out Legette. RotoBaller has Coker ranked as the No. 69 fantasy receiver.

Baltimore Orioles third baseman
Jordan Westburg went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Wednesday's 10-1 win against the Tigers. This is about as good of a return as you can ask for, with the 26-year-old homering in back-to-back games after getting activated off the injured list. There's seemingly no rust to shake off after missing over a month with a hamstring strain. He's still slashing only .232/.290/.465 thanks to an underwhelming April, but the youngster still has the upside to be a high-end third baseman for fantasy if he returns to his 2024 form.

Justin Thomas wants to continue his good 2025 season. The American golfer has six Top 10 results and a win in just 13 events. Thomas has not won a major since the 2022 PGA Championship. Furthermore, his record at the U.S. Open has not been great. That includes back-to-back missed cuts. He did finish inside the Top 10 at Erin Hills (2017) and Winged Foot (2020). Unfortunately, Oakmont saw him falter outside the Top 30. (T-32). In six Sunday appearances, Thomas has never shot better than a 72. Combine that with the expected weather forecast and Thomas may be a weekend DFS liability and a fade to bet too.

According to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, the New York Knicks will not pursue a trade involving Phoenix Suns forward
Kevin Durant. A report from ESPN's Shams Charania linked Durant to several teams, including the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Knicks. However, it appears the Knicks aren't interested, especially since making a swap for the multi-time All-Star could mean players like
OG Anunoby and
Mikal Bridges, among others, would need to be involved. Durant, who is eligible to sign a two-year extension on July 6, averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists in 62 games for the Suns last season. He also shot an impressive 43.0% from behind the arc. The 36-year-old should remain a top-25 fantasy option in preseason fantasy rankings, regardless of format, although that could change based on where he ends up.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman
Eugenio Suarez went 3-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Mariners. The slugger has been heating back up at the plate, launching three home runs in the past five games. His .233 batting average leaves something to be desired, but 32 of his 58 hits have gone for extra bases. This has led to a .514 slugging percentage that is third among all third basemen, behind only
Rafael Devers and
Jose Ramirez. The 33-year-old's 19 home runs on the season tie him for the fifth most in all of major league baseball, and he is on pace to top 40 home runs for the second time in his career.

Jon Rahm is ready as he will ever be for the U.S. Open. The Spanish golfer is in solid form but remembers what happened nine years ago at Oakmont. Rahm started with a 76 before rebounding on Friday. One of the biggest reasons then was errant shots and not the rough. Also, Rahm missed the U.S. Open in 2024 but was in the Top 12 the two previous years. 2021 saw him win at Torrey Pines. Rahm is always a threat to win majors (has won twice). Rahm stands at +1200 to win and +110 to finish inside the Top 10. He did falter in the PGA Championship but still ended up T-8. Even at the Masters, Rahm flirted with the Top 10 and was a few missed shots from truly contending. Expect him to be a threat around Oakmont.
