Detroit Tigers right-handed pitching prospect Jaden Hamm tossed five one-hit innings of work en route to picking up his first victory of the campaign against Double-A Altoona. In this outing, Hamm served up just two free passes and struck out four. This was a strong bounce-back outing for the Middle Tennessee State product as he posted a high 7.31 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP over his last 16 innings of work. Hamm is currently considered to be the No. 9-ranked prospect in the system on MLB Pipeline. Last summer, Hamm spent his entire season at High-A, where he logged 99 innings to the tune of a 2.64 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP. Fantasy managers should expect Hamm to spend most of this season at Double-A. If he continues to find his footing, he could earn a taste of Triple-A during the second half.

Cleveland Guardians right-handed pitching prospect
Aaron Davenport enjoyed his best outing of the young season on Tuesday, as he tossed six shutout innings against Double-A Somerset. In this outing, he allowed just three hits, no walks, and struck out a season-best 10 batters. In his most previous outing, Davenport also tossed six shutout innings but only struck out five batters. Prior to this recent impressive stretch, the 24-year-old held a modest 4.86 ERA with a 1.02 WHIP across his first 16 2/3 innings of work. During this stretch, he struck out just 13 batters and served up three walks. Last summer, Davenport held a 2.85 with a 1.18 WHIP across 142 1/3 innings at Double-A. Given his steady progress, he should be in the mix to reach Triple-A later this summer.

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect
Braden Montgomery went 2-for-4 with two home runs during their contest on Tuesday against High-A Bowling Green. The 22-year-old opened the campaign at Low-A but needed just 18 games to get the call to High-A. During his first seven games at High-A, the No. 5-ranked prospect in the White Sox system has posted an impressive .360/.467/.760 slash line with four doubles and a 7:4 K:BB. Earlier in the summer, Montgomery made his professional debut with Low-A Kannapolis and held a .304/.393/.493 slash line with three long balls. The White Sox drafted Montgomery with the 12th overall pick in last year's MLB Draft. Given his steady progression, Montgomery could be in the mix to reach Double-A in the second half of the campaign.

Cincinnati Reds right-handed pitching prospect
Chase Petty tossed six no-hit innings on Tuesday evening during his start against Triple-A Omaha. He struck out eight batters and served up three free passes. Petty was promoted last week to make his MLB debut, but stumbled in his first outing in the majors as he allowed seven hits and nine runs across two 1/3 innings of work. However, the No. 6-ranked prospect in the Cincinnati system was able to return to form at Triple-A. Over his last 25 2/3 innings of work at Triple-A, Petty has performed at an elite level, posting a stellar 1.05 ERA with a 0.97 WHIP. During this stretch, he struck out 31 batters and allowed just 10 free passes. Given his impressive production at Triple-A, Petty should be in the mix to return to the majors later this summer.

Minnesota Twins shortstop
Carlos Correa went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in his team's 9-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. His other two hits were singles. The 30-year-old ripped his second homer of the season in the third inning -- a two-run shot -- off of Orioles pitcher
Cade Povich to put Minnesota up by five. It left the bat at 109 MPH and traveled a staggering 458 feet. Correa isn't enjoying the same batting average success in 2025 as he did a season ago, when he hit .310, but he's underperforming his .261 xBA (.233). Tuesday marked back-to-back multi-hit efforts for the former first-overall pick, and he's done so three times in his last five appearances.

Houston Astros second baseman
Brendan Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. The former third-overall pick drove in Houston's first three runs of the game with his first homer of the season, but that would be all they'd push across in the outing. Rodgers has gotten steady playing time over the past week or so and has actually been better off right-handed pitching this season (13-for-54). It may not be evident in the box score just yet, but he's making far better contact in his first stint with the Astros, sporting career-highs in average exit velocity (91.1 MPH) and hard-hit rate (51.2%). He's still striking out at an undesirable 33.8% clip, though.

San Francisco Giants outfielder
Jung Hoo Lee went 3-for-6 with a home run and three RBI in his team's 14-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. His other two hits were singles, and he scored two runs. Lee put the Giants up 4-0 in the top of the third with his fourth dinger of the season, scoring
Willy Adames. The second-year pro's third RBI came during a scoring outburst in the top of the eleventh inning when the Giants sealed Chicago away for good with an impressive nine runs. Lee has been excellent for the team in 2025, batting a crisp .312 and doubling his home run production from a season ago (four) in seven fewer at-bats. How high he'll reach in that figure remains to be seen, but he's definitely figured something out regarding his swing, and statcast supports the gains (.315 xBA).

Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter
George Springer went 2-for-4 with a single, a home run, and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. The 35-year-old got the Blue Jays on the board in the first inning with a two-run blast -- his fourth of the season -- off of Angels pitcher
Tyler Anderson, scoring teammate
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. It traveled 426 feet and exited the bat at 109.1 MPH, qualifying for the hardest hit ball in the contest. After failing to go yard in nearly a month, Springer is up to two homers over his last four games as he continues to impact the ball well. His other hit in the loss was also well struck (103.2 MPH). He's up to a .316/.419/.541 triple slash with five steals to go along with eight doubles, and a 28:18 K:BB ratio (15.7% walk rate) through 98 at-bats.

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.
