Chicago White Sox infield prospect
William Bergolla is performing well during his first taste of Double-A. Through his first 24 games at this level, Bergolla has held a strong .315/.390/.382 slash line with six doubles, seven RBI, and 12 stolen bases. During this stretch, he held a 10:9 K:BB. Last summer, the 20-year-old spent all of his time at the High-A level, split between Jersey Shore and Winston-Salem. Across 89 total games, Bergolla held a .300/.359/.381 slash line with five triples, 12 doubles, and one long ball. Fantasy managers should expect Bergolla to spend most of his time this season at the Double-A level. However, if he continues to produce well, he could open the door for a late-season taste of Triple-A.

Chicago Cubs infield prospect
Jefferson Rojas went 3-for-4 during Tuesday's contest against High-A Fort Wayne. This performance also extended his current hitting streak to seven games. During this stretch, the No. 7-ranked prospect in the Cubs system has posted an impressive .429/.452/.750 slash line with a double, a triple, two home runs, and three stolen bases. Through the first 17 games of the High-A regular season, Rojas has been quite productive, holding a .288/.368/.455 slash line. Last summer, Rojas spent most of his time at High-A and has shown consistent progression. Fantasy managers should expect the 20-year-old to get the call to Double-A in the coming weeks, especially if he continues to swing a hot bat. Rojas remains on track for a 2026 MLB debut.

Cleveland Guardians infield prospect
Travis Bazzana went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases during their contest against Double-A Somerset on Tuesday evening. Bazzana has begun to find his footing following a slow start to the campaign. Over his last eight games, the former No. 1 overall pick from last year's draft has posted .242/.306/.455 slash line with a double, two home runs, and three stolen bases. However, during his first 18 games of the Double-A regular season, the Oregon State product held a .239 AVG with a mere .380 SLG. After last year's draft, the Guardians assigned Bazzana to High-A Lake County, where he posted a .238/.269/.396 slash line with seven doubles and three home runs. Given his slow start to the season, fantasy managers should not expect Bazzana to contend for an early MLB debut.

Cincinnati Reds infield prospect
Sal Stewart went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, and a strikeout during Tuesday's contest against Double-A Knoxville. This was the second time in his previous three contests that Stewart tallied multiple hits. However, prior to this recent surge, Stewart went 0-for-10 at the plate. Before his slump, Stewart swung a hot bat as he held a .313/.389/.475 slash line with seven doubles, two home runs, 13 RBI, and nine stolen bases over the first 21 games of the regular season. Stewart spent his entire 2024 campaign at High-A Dayton and is looking quite comfortable during his first taste of Double-A action. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the No. 81-ranked prospect in the sport as he could eventually earn a late-season promotion to Triple-A.

New York Yankees shortstop prospect
George Lombard Jr. went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts during his Double-A debut on Tuesday evening. Lombard opened the campaign at High-A but was given an early promotion. Through his first 24 games of the campaign at High-A, the 19-year-old looked quite comfortable, holding a .329/.495/.488 slash line with eight doubles, one home run, 11 stolen bases, and an impressive 22:23 K:BB. Last summer, Lombard received his first look at High-A but posted a modest .226/.321/.296 slash line. Given his steady progress, fantasy managers should continue to closely monitor his progression at Double-A. The No. 2-ranked prospect in Bronx could even push for a late-season taste of Triple-A if he continues to produce.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop
Zach Neto had a nice night in an 8-3 victory Tuesday over the Toronto Blue Jays. Neto finished 1-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases, and two runs scored on Tuesday. He picked up a single in the first inning before scoring on a
Taylor Ward two-run homer. The 24-year-old also stole two bases in the victory, bringing his season total up to seven. Neto has produced well at the top of the Angels' lineup, hitting .290 (18-for-62) with a .323 OBP and a .888 OPS. His barrel percentage has also doubled in this young season, from 8.4 last year to 16.7 this year. Fantasy managers should continue to roll with Neto while he's swinging a hot bat.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder
Taylor Ward had a solid night at the plate in an 8-3 victory Tuesday over the Toronto Blue Jays. Ward finished 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk, and an additional run scored in Tuesday's win. He blasted a two-run shot off Blue Jays pitcher
Jose Urena in the first inning, which traveled 419 feet and left the bat at 106.4 mph, kicking off the scoring for the Angels. It was his seventh long ball of the season. Ward has struggled to find consistency in a banged-up Angels lineup this season, slashing just .188/.234/.391 with a .625 OPS. He will look to find more production as the Angels try to climb in the AL West.

Athletics outfielder
Brent Rooker went 3-for-5 with an RBI single, two runs, two stolen bases, and a walk in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners. The 30-year-old drove in a run in the third inning with a 96.3 mph single to center field and later added a double and a single in the eighth and ninth innings, respectively. He also stole his first two bases of the season and has logged multi-hit efforts in two of his last four games. Rooker is now slashing .255/.323/.497 with an .820 OPS and a .345 wOBA in 2025. Rooker and the Athletics will look to bounce back and win the series on Wednesday in an afternoon rubber match against the Mariners.

Kansas City Royals shortstop
Bobby Witt Jr. went 1-for-5 with an RBI single during their victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday evening. Witt played the hero as he hit a single in the final frame, which brought home the game-winning run. This was Witt's third-straight game tallying an RBI and a hit. After going hitless in just two games following his impressive 22-game hitting streak, it appears the 24-year-old superstar has gotten right back on track. During his 22-game hitting streak, Witt held a stellar .362/.442/.550 slash line with nine doubles, two home runs, and six stolen bases. Under the hood, Witt has generated an elite .380 xwOBA with a .308 xBA, which are both well above the average marks. He remains a high-end option in all formats given his five-category production.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander
Zac Gallen (3-4) earned his second consecutive win Tuesday in a 5-1 victory over the New York Mets. Gallen threw 101 pitches over seven dominant innings, striking out six and allowing just one run on two hits and three walks. He picked up his third win of the season. The 29-year-old now owns a 4.37 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 49 strikeouts across 45 1/3 innings this season. Gallen has looked sharper in recent outings, and the Diamondbacks have reason to be encouraged by his form. He is scheduled to start at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers this weekend.

New York Yankees catcher
Austin Wells was busy during their dominant 12-3 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday evening. Wells went 2-for-5 with a home run, five RBI, a stolen base, and two runs. In the seventh inning, Wells would tally his first RBI of the evening with an RBI single, scoring outfielder
Jasson Dominguez. Later in the frame, Wells would cap off their victory with a grand slam. Through 32 games this season, Wells has struggled to find consistency but has continued to flash upside power as he has gone deep seven times and held a .220/.273/.486 line. He has tallied 23 RBI, which is currently the seventh-most in the American League. Given his role as the everyday backstop in a potent lineup, he remains a strong option in standard formats. He will look to stay hot on Wednesday, facing San Diego right-hander
Dylan Cease.

St. Louis Cardinals left-hander
Matthew Liberatore (3-3) delivered his best outing of the season Tuesday night, tossing seven impressive innings in a 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Liberatore, who took a loss in his previous start against the Cincinnati Reds, rebounded with authority, allowing just one run on three hits and three walks while striking out a season-high eight batters. The win was his third of the year, lowering his ERA to 3.07 and WHIP to 0.95. With a difficult matchup against the Philadelphia Phillies on deck, Liberatore will look to maintain his momentum and further solidify his spot in the Cardinals' rotation.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher
Nathan Eovaldi was sharp during Tuesday's victory over the Boston Red Sox as he tossed six innings of one-run ball. He allowed just five hits and one free pass. He struck out seven batters. His lone blemish came in the sixth inning when Red Sox second baseman
Kristian Campbell hit an RBI single. This was Eovaldi's fourth-straight contest, logging six innings of work. During this stretch, the right-hander has held an impressive 1.50 ERA with a 0.88 WHIP. Over these 24 innings, he has struck out 29 batters and served up just two free passes. Across 48 2/3 total innings of work, the 35-year-old has posted a 2.03 ERA with a 0.80 WHIP. Given his strong start to the campaign, fantasy managers should continue to view him as a must-start option in all formats.

Minnesota Twins outfielder
Byron Buxton went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, four RBI, and two runs during their victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday evening. Buxton hit an RBI double to left field in the second frame, scoring
Trevor Larnach. Later in the seventh, Buxton hit his eighth long ball of the season, scoring
Jonah Bride and
Willi Castro. This was Buxton's second-straight contest hitting a long ball. Over his last 10 contests, he has only gone hitless once and held an impressive .357/.378/.643 slash line with one double, one triple, and three home runs. The 31-year-old has generated an elite 14.1 percent barrel rate with a 55.3 percent hard-hit rate, which suggests he should continue to see his power production increase. He will be a popular play in DFS on Wednesday, facing Baltimore right-hander
Charlie Morton.

San Francisco Giants outfielder
Heliot Ramos went 4-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI during their victory over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday evening. In the second inning, Ramos would knock an RBI single to third base, which would score
Matt Chapman. Later in the 11th inning, Ramos would hit his second double of the contest, which scored Matt Chapman again. Ramos has continued to swing a hot bat over the past two weeks. Over his last nine contests, the 25-year-old has posted an impressive .375/.459/.625 slash line with two home runs. Overall, Ramos has held a solid .257/.323/.429 line with five long balls and three stolen bases. He continues to have an everyday role in the San Francisco starting nine. He will look to continue this productive stretch on Wednesday, facing Cubs right-hander
Ben Brown.
