Philadelphia 76ers forward/center
Guerschon Yabusele is looking forward to free agency and has his mind set on staying in the NBA. "Oh, no, 100 percent," Yabusele said in an interview with HoopsHype. "I made it clear. I really, really want to stay in the NBA, now that I have a real reason over there I want to do some more." As a youngster, Yabusele had an underwhelming stint with the Boston Celtics and left the Association in 2019. Following an impressive tournament at the Paris Olympics, he returned to the NBA for the 2024-25 season and played well. Yabusele averaged 11.0 points and 5.6 rebounds in 27.1 minutes for the injury-plagued 76ers. The Frenchman was on a one-year, $2.1 million contract in 2024-25 and will surely seek a much better deal as a free agent this offseason.

Boston Celtics guard
Jrue Holiday could be moving on from Beantown this summer. According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Celtics are "most definitely listening on calls for" Holiday, who has spent the last two seasons in Boston. Previously, Holiday has expressed a desire to remain with the Celtics. However, the veteran is on an expensive contract, and the Celtics are reportedly seeking a first-round draft pick for Holiday. The two-time NBA champion has just completed the first season of a four-year, $134.4 million contract. Holiday was plagued by health issues throughout the campaign, averaging 11.1 points and 3.9 assists, his worst numbers since his rookie year. Moving away from a stacked team like Boston may improve his fantasy outlook.

Edmonton Oilers right wing Corey Perry took care of the team's consolation goal in Monday's 6-1 defeat to the Florida Panthers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Perry's ninth marker of the postseason cut the deficit to one early in the second period. However, Sam Reinhart responded just 1:20 later, and the Panthers went on to secure a comfortable victory. Zach Hyman's (wrist) absence has given Perry a first-line role, and the veteran has been one of Edmonton's top performers in the Finals. Leading up to Game 4, he's enjoying a five-game point streak, having scored in four of those contests. Throughout the entire postseason, Perry has accumulated 13 points (nine goals, four assists) in 19 outings.

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner was pulled in Monday's Game 3 loss against the Florida Panthers, allowing five goals on 23 shots in a 6-1 defeat. Brad Marchand needed just 56 seconds to beat Skinner at the start of the game, and Florida ended up dominating the entire night. Skinner has now allowed five goals in back-to-back games, and at least three pucks have slipped past him in four straight contests. With this in mind, it wouldn't be surprising if the Oilers made another goalie change for Game 4 against the Panthers. Calvin Pickard, who was beaten once on eight shots Monday, is a strong alternative option, having remained unbeaten in six starts this postseason.

Florida Panthers forward Evan Rodrigues finished Monday's 6-1 triumph against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals with two points. He assisted Carter Verhaeghe on the game-winning goal and completed the scoring himself. Rodrigues notched both of his points on the power play. Monday's prolific performance gives Rodrigues a four-game point streak. He has reached peak form at just the right moment, and his stretch of one point in the first seven games of the postseason has been entirely forgotten. Sitting on 15 points (two goals, 13 assists) through 18 appearances, Rodrigues now only needs to add one more point to his total to set a new scoring record for a single postseason campaign.

Florida Panthers forward Sam Reinhart registered a goal and an assist in Monday's one-sided 6-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The 29-year-old scored Florida's third goal early in the second period and completed his multi-point outing with a power-play assist in the fourth. This gave Reinhart the same number of points he had managed over his previous five outings. For the playoffs, Reinhart boasts 15 points (five points, 10 assists) in 18 appearances. His production has fallen off late in the postseason. Fortunately for the Panthers, several other players have raised their performance, and the defending champions now lead the series against Edmonton 2-1.

June 10, 2025
Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett notched the team's fourth goal in Monday's big 6-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers, becoming the first player in franchise history to score in four consecutive playoff games. Bennett's night included a team-high six hits and 14 penalty minutes. The Panthers have received outstanding production from Bennett throughout the postseason, as the 28-year-old has scored 14 goals and 20 points in 20 games. Strangely, he has scored only two home goals in the playoffs. Bennett has the chance to add to this total in Game 4 when the teams face off again in Sunrise on Thursday night.

Florida Panthers left wing Brad Marchand scored for the third consecutive game as the team whipped the Edmonton Oilers 6-1 in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Monday night. The veteran forward opened the scoring less than a minute into the game, hitting his eighth goal of the postseason. Only Matthew Tkachuk (11) and Dave Lowry (10) have managed more goals during their first playoff campaign with the Panthers. Florida has hit the jackpot with the acquisition of Marchand, who has been one of the team's best players this postseason. With 20 games played, Marchand boasts 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists) and 32 hits while carrying a plus-15 rating.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder
Jake Mangum was in the thick of the action in Monday's 10-8 extra-inning win over the Red Sox. Mangum went 4-for-6 with four singles, two RBI, and a strikeout. The 29-year-old has come out of nowhere to be a surprising fantasy contributor as a late-blooming rookie, slashing .302/.333/.368 with one home run, 15 RBI, and 10 stolen bases in 112 plate appearances. He missed a little over a month with a left groin strain but has seen playing time and has provided batting average and speed, facets he also provided throughout his minor-league career. Mangum is currently rostered in just five percent of leagues, meaning he is likely available even in deep roto leagues where he could provide solid value.

Toronto Blue Jays closer
Jeff Hoffman picked up his 16th save of the season in Monday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Cardinals. Hoffman came in to pitch the bottom of the 10th inning up by one with an automatic runner on second. He shut the door with a 1-2-3 performance, including a strikeout. The 32-year-old has been erratic overall in his first season with the Blue Jays, converting 16 of 19 save opportunities with a 5.46 ERA, a 1.08 WHIP, and a 13.04 K/9 rate in 29 2/3 innings of work. The good news for fantasy managers is that Hoffman appears to have the confidence of the Blue Jays coaching staff and his underlying metrics look strong overall, so he should continue to see opportunities to provide fantasy value.

St. Louis Cardinals closer
Ryan Helsley blew his fifth save of the season in Monday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays. Helsley came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by one. He got the first out on a pop-out, allowed a game-tying solo homer, got the second out on a strikeout, allowed a double, and ended the inning with another strikeout. The 30-year-old, who was a National League All-Star last season, has already tied his career high in blown saves this season. He has notched 13 saves with a 3.75 ERA, a 1.54 WHIP, a 10.50 K/9 rate, and a 4.50 BB/9 rate in 24 innings of work. His walk rate has been an issue and he has allowed harder contact than in previous seasons, contributing to his bloated WHIP and ERA. The good news for fantasy managers is that Helsley still appears to have a firm grasp on the role, but he will need to start tightening things up.

Boston Red Sox top prospect
Roman Anthony caused plenty of fanfare but did not contribute much to the action in Monday's 10-8 extra-inning loss to the Rays. The 21-year-old, who is the No. 1 overall prospect in all of baseball per MLB Pipeline, made his big-league debut in right field batting fifth. He went 0-for-4 with an RBI, a walk, and a strikeout. Anthony performed very well in the minors last season. He was also slashing .288/.423/.491 with Triple-A Worcester before getting the call-up, so there is plenty for fantasy managers to be excited about. He is already rostered in 62 percent of leagues, but that means he could still be available for some fantasy managers.

June 10, 2025
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder
Bryan Reynolds did his part offensively in Monday's 10-3 win over the Marlins. Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a single, a triple, and three RBI. The 30-year-old broke a 1-1 tie in the third inning, lacing a
Eury Perez breaking pitch into the right-center gap to clear the bases. It was a bright spot for Reynolds in a season that has uncharacteristically had few so far. While Reynolds usually provides a high fantasy floor, he has slashed just .238/.311/.385 with eight home runs, 39 RBI, and three stolen bases in 283 plate appearances. His counting stats are relatively in line with how he has produced over the past several seasons, but hopefully, he can get his batting average up toward his .273 career mark.

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.

June 10, 2025
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.

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.

After coming perilously close to the playoff bubble after three straight crashes at Texas, Kansas, and Charlotte, Bubba Wallace recovered with a fourth-place finish at Michigan. When coupled with both Alex Bowman and Chase Briscoe failing to finish in the top twenty and scoring no stage points, this significantly strengthened Wallace's playoff position. Wallace ran in the top ten for most of the race, although pit strategy pushed him back occasionally. After finishing eighth in Stage 1 and seventh in Stage 2, he made a furious charge late in the race to drive from tenth to fourth in the last 22 laps, passing Kyle Larson on the last lap. He now sits tenth in the championship, 61 points ahead of Ryan Preece, who holds the final playoff spot in a tiebreaker over Kyle Busch.

Ryan Blaney's 2025 bad luck continued at Michigan on Sunday. After taking the lead in the pits after finishing sixth in Stage 1, he fell out of the top 10 after pitting during the caution for Alex Bowman's crash. While driving up through the field, he blew a tire while running 12th and spun onto pit road to trigger the race's fifth caution. Although Blaney returned to the track for points, he finished four laps down in 32nd. The race had minimal impact for Blaney as he maintains his seventh-place points position, and since he won last week at Nashville, he remains locked into the playoffs. Blaney would definitely prefer for bad luck to befall him at this point in the season than during the playoff races.

June 9, 2025
Alex Bowman's chances of making the playoffs have become increasingly doubtful after he crashed and finished last in Sunday's Michigan race. Although Bowman had typically been running well before bad luck struck earlier this season, he didn't even run well as he started 16th and had faded to 26th before crashing on Lap 67. Although Bowman still sits 13 points above the playoff cut line, it's likely that Carson Hocevar and a road-course specialist will win and knock him out of the playoffs. If Bowman runs as well as he did earlier this season, he certainly still could overtake drivers like Chris Buescher and Chase Briscoe to give himself a better chance, but the way he ran in Sunday's race (a race where his teammates all fought for the lead), it now seems he is more likely to miss the playoffs than make them.

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.

Free-agent running back
Cam Akers will try out for the New Orleans Saints this week during their mandatory minicamp, a league source tells Nick Underhill. Akers spent last year with the Houston Texans and Minnesota Vikings, combining for 104 carries for 444 rushing yards and two touchdowns while adding 14 receptions on 18 targets for 68 receiving yards and three additional TDs. The 25-year-old former second-rounder (52nd overall) by the Los Angeles Rams in 2020 out of Florida State would serve in a depth role for the Saints if he were to impress them this week and sign a contract for 2025.
Alvin Kamara is still the team's workhorse back under new head coach Kellen Moore, with former third-rounder
Kendre Miller and rookie sixth-rounder
Devin Neal expected to compete for the RB2 role at training camp this summer. Akers has torn his Achilles twice and remains off the fantasy radar for now.
