Detroit Tigers starting pitcher
Reese Olson (finger) appears to be cleared and ready to begin a minor league rehab assignment. Olson has been sidelined since the middle of May due to inflammation in his right finger. He's now taking the next step in his recovery process and beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Saturday. The expectation is that Olson is going to need more than one rehab start before rejoining the Tigers rotation. Hopefully, Olson is back in the mix before the end of June. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for more updates on his status.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder
Kyle Schwarber came up with a big hit at the plate during Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. In the second inning, Schwarber took right-hander
Kevin Gausman deep for a three-run home run to give his team a 4-0 lead. He was fairly quiet the rest of the game as he finished 1-for-4 with one homer, three RBI, and a walk in the win. Schwarber has now homered in back-to-back games and is a threat to go deep every time he comes up to the plate. This blasts puts him one behind
Shohei Ohtani for the National League lead in homer

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher
Ranger Suarez was tough to hit during Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This was a truly masterful performance as the Jays' hitters couldn't really make any hard contact. Suarez tossed seven scoreless frames, allowing four hits, one walk, and striking out six batters in the win. Another gem for Suarez who has allowed one earned run or less in four of his last five starts. He's looking like a must-start option for his next start against the Miami Marlins

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher
David Bednar was called upon to hold a one-run lead against the Chicago Cubs on Friday. The right-hander was given the ball in the 10th inning with an automatic runner at second base to begin the inning. That didn't seem to bother Bednar as he tossed a perfect frame to record his 10th save of the season. The right-hander was thrown nine straight scoreless frames, which dates back to late May. It's nice to see Bednar getting back on the right track as he could be a popular name around the trade deadline. For now, he's worth rostering in fantasy formats where saves matter.

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher
Paul Skenes was once again sharp on the mound during Friday's start against the Chicago Cubs. Skenes saw his pitch count quickly rise on him, so he didn't have an extremely long out. He tossed five scoreless innings, allowing four hits, while walking two batters and striking out five in the no-decision. Skenes has been unbelievable as he's allowed one earned run or less in each of his last seven starts. He's obviously a must-start in all fantasy formats as he heads into a tough matchup against the Detroit Tigers next week.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder
Ha-Seong Kim (hamstring, shoulder) was pulled off his minor-league rehab assignment on Thursday with the Triple-A Durham Bulls due to right-hamstring tightness, according to Bally Sports' Ryan Bass. The Rays expect him to resume his rehab assignment as soon as next week, though. Kim hasn't played yet in 2025 after having offseason surgery on his shoulder, and this hamstring injury will push him back a little bit further from making his debut with Tampa. The 29-year-old has played in 12 games on the farm at Durham, hitting .211/.347/.263 with four RBI, two steals and eight runs scored. Barring another setback, Kim should make his season debut before the All-Star break in mid-July and will be the Rays' starting shortstop. He'll represent a nice source of stolen bases with middling power as middle-infield depth in deep-mixed leagues.

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander
A.J. Puk (elbow) has paused his throwing program and will visit with Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles, according to manager Torey Lovullo. It's ominous news for Puk, who has been on the injured list since mid-April with left-elbow inflammation. Not only will the 30-year-old not return in the first half of the season, but the D-backs got more bad news on Friday when they learned that right-handed reliever
Justin Martinez (elbow) will need Tommy John surgery and be out for at least the next 12 to 13 months. Depending on how Puk's visit with ElAttrache goes, there's a possibility that Puk will also need TJ surgery and miss the rest of the year. Arizona's bullpen has been decimated by injuries this year, with right-handed veteran
Shelby Miller now in the lead for primary save duties.

Seattle Mariners right-hander
Logan Gilbert (elbow) will throw a bullpen session at T-Mobile Park on Friday before their game against the visiting Cleveland Guardians, and if he comes out of it feeling good, the Mariners expect his next start to come in the big leagues, according to general manager Justin Hollander. Gilbert has made three minor-league rehab starts with Triple-A Tacoma and has looked good, posting a 2.79 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with 11 strikeouts and four walks in 9 2/3 frames. The 28-year-old is on the cusp of a return to the big-league rotation in Seattle and should not be floating around on any waiver wires. The former first-rounder was a first-time All-Star in 2024 and is a fantasy ace when he's right. Before his elbow injury, he had a career-best 2.37 ERA and 0.79 WHIP with 44 strikeouts and only six walks in his six starts (30 1/3 innings).

Washington Nationals infield prospect
Seaver King has begun to turn the corner at Double-A. King earned the call to Double-A Harrisburg on June 3. Over his first three games, he went 3-for-14 at the plate with two strikeouts. However, over his last nine contests, King has tallied at least one hit in all but two games. During this stretch, he has hit one home run, tallied five RBI, and swiped two bags. Earlier this season, the No. 4-ranked prospect in the Washington system made his High-A debut and held a .263/.307/.380 line through his first 45 games at the level. The Nationals drafted King with the 10th pick in last year's MLB Draft out of Wake Forest. Fantasy managers should expect King to spend most of the campaign with Double-A. If he continues to produce, he could earn a late-season taste of Triple-A.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander
Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) faced live hitters at Dodger Stadium on Friday before the series opener against the division-rival San Francisco Giants, according to 570 LA Sports' David Vassegh. Glasnow was initially just expected to throw a bullpen session on Friday, but the fact that he actually faced live hitters has to be considered a good thing. It's still unclear when the 31-year-old will be able to come off the injured list, but he at least appears to be getting close to embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. Glasnow has made only five starts in 2025 due to his shoulder injury, but he should remain stashed in all fantasy formats for what could be a strong second half if he's healthy. He was 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 23 strikeouts and 11 walks in 18 innings before getting hurt.

Cincinnati Reds right-handed pitching prospect
Chase Burns fanned seven batters during his Triple-A debut on Thursday against the Iowa Cubs. In this outing, Burns allowed four hits and two runs. He served up four walks. While the Wake Forest product was not as efficient as he had been through the early part of the campaign, this was an impressive debut for the budding ace. Burns made his professional debut at the start of the campaign with High-A Dayton. The former No. 2 overall pick needed just 11 2/3 innings before earning the call to Double-A. With Double-A, Burns struck out an impressive 55 batters across 42 innings. During this stint, he posted a 1.29 ERA with 0.71 WHIP. Given his fast progression through the minor leagues, Burns should be viewed as a high-priority stash in all leagues. He may only need a short tune-up at Triple-A before reaching the majors.
