Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base, and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Mariners. The home run was his 10th of the season, and it came in the fourth inning off
Logan Evans to extend the Diamondbacks' lead to 3-0. Gurriel is having a steady 2025 campaign thus far, slashing .258/.304/.446 with 10 home runs, 37 RBI, 24 runs scored, and four stolen bases. He also continues to bat fifth or sixth in one of the best offenses in baseball (fourth in runs scored) and should continue to provide fantasy managers with opportunities to continue to contribute at a high level. In points leagues specifically, he does not strike out a ton (14.4 percent), so that, combined with his ability to drive in runs, makes him a valuable asset.

Arizona Diamondbacks speedy outfielder
Alek Thomas went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, a stolen base, and four total runs scored in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Mariners. It was quite the evening for Thomas, as he was active on the basepaths and blasted his third home run of the season. The home run came in the eighth inning with the Diamondbacks already up 9-3 in the contest. Thomas is enjoying a nice 2025 campaign, slashing .273/.315/.395 with 21 runs scored, 19 RBI, and four stolen bases. He has taken off in June, slashing .370/.393/.593. He seems to have an everyday role with the Diamondbacks, perhaps occasionally sitting against a left-handed pitcher, but the 25-year-old provides a lot of speed and good defense, making him an interesting player if he can continue to stay hot and get the opportunities. For now, he can remain on the waiver wire in most formats.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder
Brandon Marsh (elbow) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cubs due to left elbow soreness, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. Marsh appeared to injure his elbow after sliding into second base during the second inning. The good news is that he was not removed from the game until the sixth inning, suggesting that the injury may be minor. The Phillies will likely provide more clarity on the injury in the coming days.
Johan Rojas entered the game for Marsh and would likely pick up some starts in center field if Marsh needs to sit out another few games. On the season, Marsh is slashing a modest .241/.341/.345 with two home runs, 13 RBI, three stolen bases, and 15 runs scored.

Colorado Rockies outfielder and corner infielder
Kris Bryant (back) played catch on the field before Tuesday's game against the Giants, the team reports. Bryant had an ablation procedure on his back on May 8. The surgery was designed to relieve the pain that has hampered his rehab from the chronic lumbar degenerative disc disease that has limited him to 11 games thus far in 2025. The former MVP has struggled mightily with back issues throughout his career, and based on his last few seasons with the Rockies, fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be much of an asset outside of a potential hot streamer bat for a couple of weeks once he's healthy. Although it's a positive sign he is taking his first steps towards action, there is still no concrete timeline for his return.

San Francisco Giants shortstop
Willy Adames homered in Tuesday's 6-5 comeback win over the Colorado Rockies. Adames opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the first inning, then tied the game in the fifth with a 439-foot blast to center field—his sixth home run of the season. He finished 1-for-3 with a walk and an additional run scored. The 29-year-old has struggled in his first season with the Giants, slashing .194/.283/.316 with a .599 OPS through 66 games. His .269 wOBA is a career low, but the Giants hope this performance signals better days ahead.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander
Quinn Priester (4-2) delivered six strong innings in Tuesday night's 4-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Priester struck out seven and allowed one run on seven hits, securing his fourth win of the season. After moving between teams and struggling with consistency last year, the 24-year-old is settling into his role with Milwaukee. He currently owns a 3.65 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 43 strikeouts in 61 2/3 innings, all career bests. Priester will look to earn his fourth consecutive win in his next scheduled start Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman
Andres Gimenez homered in Tuesday night's 9-8 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Gimenez opened the scoring with a 387-foot, three-run blast in the first inning and later added an RBI single. The 26-year-old went 2-for-5 with four RBI and five total bases. After missing much of May with a quad injury, Gimenez appears to be settling back into his role nicely. In his first season with Toronto, he is slashing .213/.287/.333 with a .620 OPS. The glove-first infielder will look to contribute in any way possible as the Blue Jays push to catch the New York Yankees atop the AL East.

Texas Rangers third baseman
Josh Jung drove in four runs during Tuesday's 16-4 win over the Minnesota Twins. Jung hit a two-run single in the fifth inning, then added a two-RBI double in the eighth that left the bat at 102 mph. The 27-year-old went 2-for-5 with two runs scored. It was a much-needed showing for a bat that has struggled in June. Jung is now slashing .259/.305/.406 with a .711 OPS across 58 games after missing a large portion of last season due to injury. Fantasy managers should monitor him closely. His 96th percentile Launch Angle Sweet-Spot rate of 43% suggests he could heat up quickly.

Boston Red Sox left-handed pitching prospect Payton Tolle tossed five innings of one-run ball against High-A Hudson Valley on Tuesday evening. In this outing, Tolle struck out eight batters for the second straight start and allowed just three hits and three walks. Throughout his first professional season, Tolle has flashed high-strikeout potential with High-A Greenville. Over his last 20 innings (four starts), the southpaw has struck out 30 batters and held a 3.10 ERA with a 1.10 WHIP. Through 43 2/3 innings of work, the left-hander has struck out an eye-catching 70 batters while holding a 3.92 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. Given his steady production during his debut season, Tolle should be in the mix to reach Double-A later this summer. The No. 16-ranked prospect in the Boston system remains on track to reach the majors next season.

San Diego Padres third baseman
Manny Machado powered the offense with five RBI in Tuesday's 11-1 rout of the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers. The 32-year-old went 3-for-5 with one run scored, marking his fifth multi-hit game in his last eight contests. Machado also extended his hitting streak to eight games and is slugging a scorching .732 in June. The veteran third baseman is now batting a career-high .325 with a .904 OPS and a .392 wOBA across 59 games. Fantasy managers should continue to treat him as a must-start option while he remains on this tear in his seventh year with San Diego.

New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Jonah Tong enjoyed another stellar outing at Double-A Richmond on Tuesday evening. In this start, Tong tossed 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball with four hits and two walks. He struck out eight. Over his last four outings with Double-A (26 1/3 frames), Tong has struck out 40 batters and held a 1.37 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP. Through 54 1/3 total innings with Double-A Binghamton, Tong has performed at an elite level, posting a 1.99 ERA with a 1.03 WHIP. During this stretch, Tong has tallied 91 total strikeouts but has sometimes struggled with his command, allowing 29 free passes. Last season, Tong spent most of his time with High-A and held a higher 3.71 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP across 85 innings of work. Given his steady progress, Tong should be in the mix to reach Triple-A later this summer.

Los Angeles Angels infield prospect
Christian Moore went 2-for-4 with a home run during their contest against Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday evening. Moore has been swinging a hot bat since earning the call to Triple-A. Over his first 19 games with Salt Lake, Moore has posted an impressive .342/.414/.539 slash line with four doubles, one triple, three home runs, and three stolen bases. During this stretch, he has tallied 15 RBI and scored 14 runs. The eighth overall pick in last year's MLB Draft opened the season with Double-A and held a .234/.342/.323 line. Last summer, Moore performed at an elite level at Double-A following the draft, posting a .911 OPS through 23 games. If the 22-year-old continues to produce at this level, he could reach the majors in the coming weeks.

Seattle Mariners infield prospect
Colt Emerson went 1-for-5 with a home run during their contest against High-A Tri-City. Over his last five games, Emerson has begun to heat up at the plate. Over this stretch, he has posted a .300/.364/.600 line with a double, triple, and a home run. Prior to this recent surge, Emerson held a modest .200/.297/.271 line with just 17 total hits over his last 21 contests. His home run on Tuesday was also his first round-tripper since May 18. Through 53 games with High-A this season, Emerson has struggled at times, holding a .244/.341/.378 line with five doubles and five home runs. Given his lack of consistent success at High-A this season, fantasy managers should expect the No. 19-ranked prospect in the sport to spend most of the season at this level. If he continues to turn the corner, he could earn a late-season taste of Double-A.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect
Slade Caldwell went 2-for-5 with two singles, a stolen base, and a strikeout during his High-A debut against Eugene on Tuesday evening. Caldwell was selected with the 29th pick in last year's MLB Draft out of Valley View HS. Caldwell made his professional debut this summer with Low-A Visalia. Through 48 games, the 18-year-old performed at an elite level, posting a .294/.460/.454 line. He went deep three times and added 13 doubles with two triples. He swiped 13 bags and showed a strong eye at the plate, holding a 62:44 K:BB. Over his final 13 games before earning the promotion, the No. 97-ranked prospect in baseball posted a .327 AVG with a .880 OPS. Fantasy managers should expect Caldwell to spend the majority of the campaign with High-A.
