Miami Marlins starting pitcher
Eury Perez (elbow) did not have the best results in his 2025 season debut, taking the loss in a 10-3 game against the Pirates. Perez pitched three innings, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts on 70 pitches. The 22-year-old had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in April of last year and hadn't appeared in an MLB regular-season game since September of 2023. While the box score wasn't great, it was encouraging to see Perez back on the mound for the Marlins topping out at 99.7 MPH. Perez looked great from a fantasy perspective in 2023 and had success in his minor-league rehab assignment this season, but fantasy managers will need to be patient as he gets back into the swing of things. His next scheduled start will be a decent matchup at the Nationals.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher
Chris Sale was dialed in for Monday's 7-1 win over the Brewers. Sale pitched seven innings, allowing one run on five hits and two walks with a season-high 11 strikeouts. The 36-year-old has shown no signs of slowing down after earning the National League Cy Young Award last season. He has been excellent in his first two seasons with the Braves after an up-and-down tenure with the Red Sox. Sale is now 4-4 with a 2.79 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP, and an 11.94 K/9 rate in 14 starts and 80 2/3 IP. His next start will be an excellent matchup against the Rockies at home.

Philadelphia Phillies infield/outfield prospect
Otto Kemp recorded his first major league hit on Monday, finishing with three hits in the game in five at-bats, and he scored once in the 4-3 extra-innings win over the Cubs. The 25-year-old went hitless in his first five at-bats in the big leagues, and we'll see how he performs going forward now with some confidence under his belt. The Phils' 24th-ranked prospect was on fire prior to his call-up, slashing .313/.416/.594 with 14 home runs and 11 steals in 58 games. Kemp was called up when
Bryce Harper (wrist) hit the IL, but if he continues to hit, Philadelphia may have some tough decisions to make when Harper returns. As for fantasy, Kemp could be a speculative add for his power and ability to steal bases in deep leagues, especially given his eligibility at both 3B and 2B on Yahoo!.

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop prospect
Cooper Pratt went 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored, and stole two bases on Sunday for Double-A Biloxi. After slashing .265/.346/.404 over his first 35 games, the 20-year-old went into a 7-for-59 (.119) funk over his next 16 contests. The 6-foot-3 slugger is now slashing .231/.314/.342 for the year after his three-hit game, with 10 doubles, four home runs, and 12 steals. The Brewers will likely want to see a continuation of Sunday's performance for a while before considering pushing him to Triple-A, and Milwaukee's third-ranked prospect, who has solid all-around tools, has an MLB ETA of 2027 per MLB.com.

Cleveland Guardians infield prospect Angel Genao (shoulder) was activated from the seven-day injured list and is now back with Double-A Akron as of this past Friday. The 21-year-old suffered a right shoulder sprain in spring training that has kept him out until this point, but he recently completed an eight-game rehab assignment with the ACL Guardians during which time he went 8-for-26 (.308) with three home runs and a 6:4 BB:K. The switch-hitter played his first game of the year for the RubberDucks on Friday, going hitless in four at-bats in his season debut. The Guardians' fourth-ranked prospect (MLB No. 52) is coming off a phenomenal 2024 campaign and could find himself in Triple-A in the latter half of the season with a strong showing at Double-A. He looks like a potential multi-category fantasy producer in the making, so dynasty managers should be keeping a close eye on how he performs over the next couple of months.

Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Jurrangelo Cijntje (arm) was pulled from his start back on May 31 with general arm soreness and hasn't pitched since, but is scheduled to get back into the rotation for High-A Everett this Wednesday. The switch-handed pitcher has performed well so far this year when deployed as a starter (12 appearances, nine starts), posting a 2.75 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 42 in 39 1/3 innings pitched. Hopefully this was just a bump in the road and will not be a recurring problem throughout the season. The Mariners' eighth-ranked prospect is an intriguing prospect with the ability to pitch as both a lefty and a righty, and it will be interesting to see if that helps him get fast-tracked to the majors sooner than his 2027 ETA per MLB.com.

Athletics left-hander
Brady Basso (shoulder) felt good after throwing an inning with Single-A Stockton during a minor-league rehab outing on Sunday, according to MLB.com's Martin Gallegos. The A's are looking at using him in a relief role, which could get him back to the big leagues quicker. Basso is currently on the 60-day injured list and has yet to pitch in the big leagues this year due to his shoulder injury, but he could be an option out of their bullpen before the All-Star break. The 27-year-old southpaw made his MLB debut with the A's last year and posted a 4.03 ERA (3.88 FIP) and 1.25 WHIP with 19 strikeouts and five walks in seven outings (four starts) over 22 1/3 innings. Basso relies on command and doesn't have strikeout stuff, so he certainly won't be in play in mixed fantasy leagues when he returns to the majors in 2025.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder
Brandon Marsh hit a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 11th inning to send the Phillies to a 4-3 win over the Cubs on Monday. He actually entered the game as a pinch hitter initially, and collected two singles in his three at-bats. While it'll go down as a single on the stat sheets, the ball was a rocket to the warning track that would have been a double if it hadn't won the game. Hopefully this is the spark that the 27-year-old needed to get going, as he's slashed just .228/.331/.325 on the season. The one silver lining of his profile has been a 13.4% walk rate, which has kept his on-base percentage manageable during the slump.

Athletics third baseman
Gio Urshela (hamstring) is expected to begin a rehab assignment this week, reports Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. He has been on the injured list since May 23 with a left hamstring strain. A few weeks off isn't that long in the grand scheme of things, so he should be able to progress quickly and return to the major league lineup next week. It's not clear how much playing time Urshela will get once he is activated, as there's about to be a logjam between him,
Luis Urias,
Max Muncy, and
Zack Gelof once he is also healthy.

Athletics second baseman
Zack Gelof (ribs) is expected to begin a rehab assignment this week, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. He's already had to fight through multiple injuries in 2025, as the stress fracture in his ribs occurred while on a rehab stint to recover from hamate bone surgery that he underwent in March. The 25-year-old will fit in nicely with a young Athletics lineup that is taking a huge step forward this year. The youngster is coming off of a 2024 season where he hit 17 home runs and stole 25 bases, and his power could play up even more in Sutter Health Park. However, it also wouldn't be surprising if he struggled out of the gate, as the recovery from hamate bone surgery has a reputation for sapping power from hitters. Only time will tell but expect to see Gelof activated by the end of the month.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher
Simeon Woods Richardson is expected to be called back up to join the major league rotation on Tuesday, reports Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston. With
Pablo Lopez and
Zebby Matthews both going on the injured list, it leaves a spot for the 24-year-old to face off against the Rangers. He'll be looking to turn his season around, considering he posted a 5.02 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 37 ⅔ innings earlier in the season. It's not likely the youngster will be fantasy-relevant, considering even in Triple-A he allowed eight runs over 17 innings.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher
Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) is back to throwing off the mound after a brief shutdown due to back soreness, reports Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register. The ace has been on the injured list since April 27 due to shoulder inflammation, so the back soreness that popped up wasn't considered to be serious. Once he does start a minor league rehab stint in the coming weeks, it likely won't be as long as teammate
Blake Snell's, since Glasnow was able to get four full starts under his belt before suffering the injury. In those 18 innings, the right-hander posted a 4.50 ERA and 1.28 WHIP.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher
Blake Snell (shoulder) is set to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday, reports Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register. This will be a significant step in his rehab process, as the lefty recovers from shoulder inflammation that has sidelined him since April 2. The 32-year-old made it this far in his recovery last month too, but was shut down when his first bullpen session caused further inflammation. The extended absence means the two-time Cy Young winner still has a long road ahead that will include many rehab starts.

Cleveland Guardians infield prospect
Juan Brito (thumb) is tracking toward playing in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League this week as he works his way back from surgery on his right thumb back in late April to fix a torn ligament, according to MLB.com's Tim Stebbins. Brito, the team's No. 10 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was hitting .291/.406/.491 with an .897 OPS, two home runs, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored and four stolen bases in 16 games with Triple-A Columbus before landing on the seven-day minor-league injured list. The 23-year-old Dominican switch-hitter is nearing a return to minor-league action and could be a candidate to make his major-league debut later this season if he continues to hit the ball well upon his return. Brito never showed much power until last year, when he hit 21 bombs in 144 games. Fantasy-wise, Brito won't have a very high ceiling with fringy speed and questionable power at second base.
