Zach Neto Hits First Career Home Run Tuesday
Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto made his only hit count in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Astros. The 22-year-old went 1-for-3 with a solo home run off of Framber Valdez and a strikeout. It was the prospect's first long ball of his big-league career. While a good deal of fantasy hype surrounded Neto upon […]
Ezequiel Duran To Continue Seeing Playing Time
Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said on Tuesday that infielder Ezequiel Duran will continue to get "a lot" of playing time, even after shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) returns from the injured list. Duran has been starting every day and was bumped up to the second spot in the batting order on Tuesday against the Seattle […]
Geraldo Perdomo On The Bench Tuesday
Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo is sitting to start Tuesday's game against Jesus Luzardo and the Miami Marlins. The third-year player is currently in a platoon, so won't start with a left-hander on the mound. Instead, it will be Nick Ahmed at short, batting seventh. The 33-year-old is mostly known for his glove, as he's […]
Tim Anderson Resting Versus Royals
Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 29-year-old infielder. Anderson was banged up to begin the season, but appears to be getting back into a groove. Elvis Andrus will cover shortstop while […]
J.P. Crawford Remains Out
Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (knee) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Crawford was scratched ahead of Monday's game and continues to sit out due to a left knee contusion. It sounds like a minor issue, so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Fellow infielder Kolten Wong (wrist) […]
Austin Gauthier - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis
PROSPECT: Austin Gauthier, SS, Los Angeles Dodgers ANALYSIS: Gauthier is a talented infielder who signed with the Dodgers as an undrafted free agent in 2021. He has quickly made his mark within the lower levels of the organization thanks to his physical, aggressive style of play and ability to put the ball in play. He […]
Aaron Judge Comes Off Injured List, Oswald Peraza Goes On It
The New York Yankees officially reinstated outfielder Aaron Judge (hip) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and placed infield prospect Oswald Peraza (ankle) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 6) in a corresponding move with a right-ankle sprain. The team also recalled right-hander Greg Weissert from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Judge is back after […]
Jose Caballero Swinging A Hot Bat
Seattle Mariners rookie infielder Jose Caballero went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and a strikeout in the team's 2-1 loss to the visiting Texas Rangers on Monday night. Caballero now has a modest five-game hitting streak, and he's gone 11-for-36 (.306) with three doubles, four RBI, three stolen bases and six runs scored in his […]
Strong Chance Giants Call Up Casey Schmitt
There is a strong chance that the San Francisco Giants call up infield prospect Casey Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals, according to sources. Schmitt has gotten off to a nice start in the minors and recently added second base to his work at third and shortstop. The 24-year-old was […]

David Hamilton - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis
PROSPECT: David Hamilton, SS/2B, Boston Red Sox ANALYSIS: You could say that David Hamilton is running wild this season, even at a better pace than his 70-steal season in 2022. Through his first 28 games for Triple-A Worcester, Hamilton has already racked up 20 steals along with six home runs and a .311/.398/.557 slash line. […]
Nico Hoerner Leaves Early With Hamstring Tightness
Updating a previous report, Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner (hamstring) left Monday's game early against the St. Louis Cardinals due to left-hamstring tightness. Hoerner injured his leg running the bases, and it's currently unknown if he'll need a stint on the injured list. Fantasy managers will want to check back for more information on his […]
Austin Gauthier Reaching Base With Ease
Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Austin Gauthier is a talented infielder who signed with the club as an undrafted free agent in 2021.

Corey Seager Expected To Begin Rehab Assignment Thursday
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) is planning to begin a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday. Seager has been sidelined since April 11 with a Grade 2 hamstring strain. It is a good sign that he is nearing a return to action and could be ready to return to the MLB lineup by early […]
J.P. Crawford Scratched Monday
Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (knee) was scratched ahead of his team's Monday game against the Texas Rangers. Crawford was replaced in the lineup by Kolten Wong, who will play second base, while Jose Caballero will shift over to shortstop. Crawford is dealing with a knee issue after he fouled a ball off of his […]
Jordan Westburg - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis
PROSPECT: Jordan Westburg, 2B/3B/SS, Baltimore Orioles ANALYSIS: I'm honestly not sure what Baltimore is waiting for when it comes to Jordan Westburg. While Adam Frazier hasn't exactly been terrible offensively, it's not like he's lighting the world on fire with his .240/.330/.375 slash line either. Meanwhile, Westburg is slashing .333/.395/.593 in Triple-A with eight home runs and […]
Matt McLain - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis
PROSPECT: Matt McLain, 2B/SS, Cincinnati Reds ANALYSIS: There are a lot of Cincinnati Reds prospects standing out right now. Last week, many were discussing Christian Encarnacion-Strand and we now switch the microscope to his Triple-A Louisville teammate, Matt McLain. In 31 games this season, McLain already has racked up 10 doubles, nine home runs, and […]
Carter Kieboom Activated And Optioned To Minors
The Washington Nationals activated infielder Carter Kieboom (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Rochester.

The Nationals will want to see the 25-year-old have some […]
J.P. Crawford Continues On-Base Streak
Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford extended his on-base streak to seven games on Sunday by going 2-for-4 in the 3-1 win over the visiting Houston Astros.

Orlando Arcia Hits A Double In His Return
In his return from the injured list on Sunday, Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia went 1-for-4 with a double and two strikeouts in the team's 3-2 extra-inning victory over the visiting Baltimore Orioles. It was Arcia's first game action since April 12 because he didn't go on a minor-league rehab assignment before he returned from […]
Royce Lewis Ready For A Rehab Assignment
Minnesota Twins utility man Royce Lewis (knee) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Wichita on May 11, according to MLB.com, before eventually joining Triple-A St. Paul to finish the assignment. The 23-year-old has yet to play in 2023 after sustaining an ACL tear in May of last season but is close to […]
