Yennier Cano was called upon to get out of a jam during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The O's were up 8-3 but a walk and two errors loaded up the bases for Philly in the ninth inning. After that, O's manager Brandon Hyde decided to go with Cano to get the final out of the game. The right-hander needed only four pitches as he struck out the only batter he faced. He earned himself his third save of the season, but remains behind
Craig Kimbrel in a set-up role.

Josue De Paula went 2-for-4 for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday and homered on Saturday. The 19-year-old is hitting .235 with six homers and 32 RBI this season. De Paula, the No. 2 prospect in the Dodgers' farm system, is Brooklyn-born but signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2022. The sweet-swinging lefty has all the tools to be an impact big leaguer but will likely need a few more years of minor-league seasoning. He should be a priority name in dynasty leagues as he progresses through the minor leagues. De Paula could be a household name and fantasy staple playing for a big-time franchise for several years.

Pete Alonso has been off to an extremely slow start to the season. However, the right-handed slugger was able to find a spark during Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres. Alonso went 2-for-5 with a home run and five RBI during the blowout win. This five-RBI performance matched his total amount of runs driven in coming into that contest. Fantasy managers are hopeful that this is a sign of Alonso finally getting back on track.

JJ Bleday was doing all he could during Sunday's doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins. The third-year outfielder went 6-for-9 with a home run and one RBI between the two games. Bleday is now 7-for-18 which is nearly a .400 batting average over the last five games. It has been a fairly strong season for Bleday who has been a nice bright spot for the A's.

Coby Mayo (rib) was 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI for High-A Aberdeen Sunday on a rehab assignment. Mayo is 6-for-13 in four games on his rehab stint, with three homers and six RBI. The power display not only proves he is approaching full health but is also a reminder of the potential that the 22-year-old possesses. This season, he has 16 homers and 43 RBI in the minor leagues with a .303 average and 1.034 OPS. The fourth-round pick in the 2020 draft boasts some serious power and, in a loaded Orioles minor-league system, is one of the standouts this season. If Baltimore can make room for him on the major league roster, he could do some serious damage in that lineup. He could be a significant boon to fantasy managers in the second half.

Jorge Soler finally got his bat going during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The veteran slugger went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and four RBI in the blowout victory. It has been a slow start for Soler but the four RBI and three runs scored were both season highs for him. He's slashing .224/.309/.383 which isn't ideal but the Giants are committed to him as the everyday DH.

Jose Altuve gave his team a big lift during Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The veteran slugger went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in the 4-1 win. He also drew a walk and stole a base in what was a fairly productive day at the plate for Altuve. He's now slashing .299/.350/.460 with 11 home runs, 29 RBI, and 10 stolen bases on the season.

James Outman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. Outman has had three homers and eight RBI in June, along with a .226 batting average. The 27-year-old was optioned to Triple-A by the Dodgers on May 17. Since then, he has hit .292 with six homers, 16 RBI, and a .987 OPS. With
Mookie Betts (hand) set to miss time, Outman could be on the radar for a call-up to the major leagues. He hit just .147 in 109 at-bats with the Dodgers this season, but his numbers since his demotion to the minors have been good, and they suggest he may be ready for another shot in L.A. Given another opportunity, Outman could be an interesting waiver-wire addition.

2 hours agoMinnesota Twins outfielder
Matt Wallner went 2-for-5 with two runs, three RBI and a home run for Triple-A St. Paul. Wallner's home run would be the 16th of the season for Wallner, who opened the season with the big-league club. To go along with his impressive 16 longballs, Wallner has driven in 43 runs and hit .250 over 200 at-bats. Wallner made his debut last season and hit 14 homers in 76 games, but struggled with his time in the big leagues earlier this season with two hits in 25 at-bats. Wallner has light tower power, but doesn't offer much else and could eventually become a Quad-A type of player. The power is nice, but dynasty managers could feel safe swapping him for a player with better upside.

Kutter Crawford showed off his hit-and-miss stuff during Sunday's outing against the New York Yankees. The right-hander racked up nine strikeouts while allowing only three hits in the win. The 28-year-old gave up a home run to
Aaron Judge during the opening frame, but Crawford settled down after that. He gave his team six innings of three-run ball which was good enough to get the victory. He'll take a 3.54 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 88/26 K/BB ratio into his next start against the Cincinnati Reds.

2 hours agoAfter beginning the year on the 60-day injured list with shoulder fatigue, Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect
River Ryan was activated and made his season debut on Saturday. Ryan started the game, but struggled in his 2/3 of an inning by allowing three hits, two runs and one walk. Ryan was likely on a pitch count and exited after tossing 33 pitches. As one of the top arms in one of the best systems in baseball, the Dodgers are almost certain to take it easy with Ryan the rest of the way. Although he has a bright future ahead of him, Ryan is only an option in dynasty leagues.

Max Clark went 4-for-8 during a doubleheader Sunday with a home run and four RBI for Low-A Lakeland. The 19-year-old is hitting up in June, hitting .283 this month with two homers and eight RBI with five stolen bases. That has raised his season-long batting average to .277 with a .755 OPS. The five-tool mega-prospect was recently passed by
Jackson Jobe for top prospect status with the Tigers. However, the 2023 first-round draft pick has loads of potential. His major league ETA is likely a few years away, but he continues to turn heads with his 70-grade speed and plus hitting tools. Clark is someone to stash in dynasty leagues with an eye toward the future.

Bailey Ober looked sharp during Sunday's outing against the Oakland Athletics. The right-hander allowed one run on six hits while striking out eight batters over 6 1/3 innings of work. Ober only walked two batters as he made easy work of the A's lineup. He been up-and-down this season but does have another favorable outing against the Oakland Athletics next week.

Tyler Glasnow had seemingly no issues during Sunday's outing against the Kansas City Royals. The right-hander struck out nine batters while throwing seven shutout innings during the victory.

2 hours agoPhiladelphia Phillies shortstop/third base prospect
Aidan Miller went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI for High-A Jersey Shore on Sunday. Miller was promoted from Single-A to High-A last week and Sunday marked his first homer for Jersey Shore. Between both levels, he is now hitting .272 with 16 doubles, six homers, 30 RBI and 12 stolen bases. Miller, 20, was the club's first-round pick in 2023 and his power-speed combo should be intriguing to managers in dynasty leagues, even though Miller is still a few years away from a big-league debut.
