Kansas City Royals prospect Jac Caglianone went 2-for-5 with two singles against Triple-A Salt Lake Wednesday night. Caglianone showed off his elite raw power with a 113.4 MPH single in the third inning. The 22-year-old cruised through Double-A in just 38 games, slashing .322/.394/.540. Caglianone's plate discipline at Triple-A will be worth paying attention to, as he is known to chase outside the zone a fair amount. As long as his feel for the zone and contact ability improve over time, he has massive potential with his prodigious power. Caglianone should be expected to make his MLB debut sometime this summer and is worth stashing in standard leagues.

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop prospect Carson Williams went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI, and an additional run in Wednesday's extra-inning win against Triple-A Worcester. The season-long numbers for Williams are disappointing, with a .181/.287/.362 slash line and a 39% strikeout rate. The 21-year-old has plus power and discipline, but the inability to make consistent contact holds him back. He is still young for the level, and there is a chance we see him in the majors later this summer if he turns things around.

Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski went three innings Wednesday night against Triple-A Scranton. He allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out four. Although the flame-throwing right-hander only threw 54 pitches, he managed to induce 14 swings and misses on 32 swings. Bryan De La Cruz tagged him for a solo home run, but it was an otherwise dominant, albeit shorter outing for the top prospect. The 23-year-old owns a minuscule 1.19 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over 22 2/3 innings in May. Misiorowski is expected to debut sometime in June and is worth stashing in most standard leagues.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner went 2-for-5 out of the leadoff spot in Wednesday's 9-5 win over the Rockies. He hit his third homer of the season in the second inning as the first half of back-to-back blasts since Bryce Harper followed with a long ball of his own. Turner also singled, stole a base, and scored in the first inning. He has multiple hits in each of the Phillies' three games in Colorado and is 29-for-85 (.341) over his last 19 games with two home runs and five stolen bases. While his power production has been lower this season, his stolen bases and batting average have trended up enough to still make him a top shortstop play. Hitting atop a productive lineup makes him a strong starting option whenever the Phillies are in action, especially as they finish their series at Coors Field on Thursday and then head to Sutter Health Park for the weekend.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto continued his impressive delayed start to the season on Wednesday by going 2-for-5 out of the leadoff spot for the Halos with a home run, a stolen base, two runs scored, and two RBI. In just 30 games, Neto is already up to eight homers and eight stolen bases while hitting .283 and scoring 25 runs for the Angels. Over his last nine games, he is hitting a robust .316 (12-for-38) with four homers, three walks, a stolen base, and a 51.9% hard-hit rate, per Statcast. Neto's blend of power and speed in a premium lineup spot should make him a top-10 shortstop the rest of the season.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez hit a three-run home run in the sixth inning of Wednesday night's win over Arizona, providing the Dodgers with all their offense for the entire game. Hernandez finished the game 1-for-3 with his home run and a strikeout, and the rest of the batting order went just 4-for-26. His three-run blast came off Corbin Burnes and gives Hernandez 10 homers in his 36 games this season. He's hitting .307, which would be a new career-high, with a .292 ISO and .395 wOBA. Since returning from the IL, Hernandez is 1-for-8 with two runs scored and four RBI, but he made that one hit count on Wednesday, delivering the difference-maker as the Dodgers took their second straight win headed into Thursday's scheduled off-day.

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman delivered a great performance in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Rutschman drilled a three-run home run in the 11th inning off Brewers left-hander Tyler Alexander to help the O's snap their eight-game losing skid. It was the second hit of the game for Rutschman, who chipped in a double earlier in the contest and finished 2-for-6. Rutschman ended a long drought of his own with the homer, his first since April 20, and knocked in his first run since May 11. Mainly due to his 13-for-65 offensive performance in May, the 27-year-old has stumbled to a disappointing .213/.299/.360 line with five homers in 184 plate appearances this season. However, his xBA (.270), xSLG (.474), and xwOBA (.358) do provide reasons for optimism. Despite his struggles in May, fantasy managers should continue to roll with Rutschman in all leagues.

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez smashed his third home run of the season Wednesday in an 8-4 win over the San Francisco Giants. With that two-run, 397-foot blast, Perez added a single and a double to finish the day 3-for-5. Wednesday aside, it has been a surprisingly rough start to the season for the 35-year-old Perez, who hadn't homered since April 13 and has batted a paltry .223/.258/.346 through 199 trips to the plate. Considering his subpar performance thus far, Perez is facing a severely uphill climb as he goes for his ninth season of 20-plus HRs, though underlying metrics such as xBA (.292), xSLG (.521), and xwOBA (.359) remain bullish on him.

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Owen Caissie went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Wednesday against Triple-A Columbus. The 22-year-old has struck out at a 34% clip at Triple-A this season, but has combated it with a 13.4% walk rate. He flashed exciting power potential with a strong 115.5 MPH MaxEV last season in Triple-A and boasts a 53% hard hit rate this season. The Cubs' outfield is crowded with good players at the moment, but things can change fast with injuries. With his power potential and the strength of the Cubs' lineup, Caissie would be worth an add if he were to be called up.

Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler teamed up with Nick Kurtz to provide all the Athletics' offense on Wednesday night, but unfortunately, their power display wasn't enough to overcome the Angels. Butler hit his seventh homer of the season in the second inning off Jack Kochanowicz, turning a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 lead at the time. In the fifth inning, Butler reached on a fielder's choice and stole second for his eighth stolen base of the season. Butler now has two thefts in his last three games, and his fantasy managers hope he stays so aggressive on the bases. Last year, he stole 18 bases in 125 games, and he's ahead of that pace this year, although his batting average and slugging have each taken a step backward. He has hit safely in five straight games, though, so he seems to be trending up as the A's finish their series with the Angels before hosting the Phillies this weekend.

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom delivered an excellent performance in a no-decision in Wednesday's 4-3 loss against the New York Yankees. The two-time Cy Young winner fired seven innings of three-hit, two-run ball with nine strikeouts against one walk. Although deGrom pitched well enough to earn the victory, the Rangers' bullpen surrendered a pair of runs in a 4-3 defeat. The 36-year-old has now allowed two or fewer earned runs and totaled at least five innings in seven consecutive starts. DeGrom owns a sterling 2.33 ERA with 62:12 K:BB through 58 innings, making him a must-start each time he takes the ball. He's scheduled to face the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday.

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman (4-4) helped lead the Jays to a 14-0 rout over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. Gausman tossed seven shutout innings, allowed just three hits, and finished with nine strikeouts and no walks en route to his fourth victory of the season. Gausman had a poor start in his previous outing and has mixed a few clunkers this year, but his results have been solid on the whole. The 34-year-old has pitched to a sturdy 4.03 ERA with 55:12 K:BB across 58 innings, and the minuscule 0.98 WHIP he carried into Wednesday's start ranks among the majors' best. Gausman's next scheduled start is on the road Monday against the Texas Rangers, whose offense has sputtered this year.

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor helped the Mets avoid a sweep at Fenway Park on Wednesday night by going 2-for-5 out of the leadoff spot with a home run for an insurance run in the ninth inning. He doubled to lead off the game against Garrett Crochet and stole third base before being stranded. He added another theft in the seventh inning after reaching on a fielder's choice. On the season, Lindor has 10 homers and nine stolen bases and is hitting .283 with a .361 wOBA. He has been a solid contributor at the top of the Mets' lineup and will remain a great option at shortstop in all formats with a very high ceiling on a nightly basis since he can have a big night with power, speed, or a combination of the two.

Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe had a pair of home runs in the Halos' 10-5 win on Wednesday night. The 25-year-old backstop went 2-for-4 with a walk, three runs scored, and three RBI. His first home run was a two-run shot in the second inning, and his second was a solo shot in the fourth. Both blasts came off lefty JP Sears, and O'Hoppe is now hitting .364 against southpaws this season with three of his 13 homers on that side of the split. Overall, O'Hoppe is up to .270 on the year with 13 homers and a .363 wOBA. He's on pace for a career year and has been one of the most productive hitters at a thin catcher position. He's definitely mixed-league material and a strong pickup if available.

Athletics first base prospect Nick Kurtz posted his first career multi-home run game during their loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday evening. Kurtz went deep for the first time in the fifth inning off Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz. Then in the seventh, Kurtz would tally his second solo shot of the contest, this time off Shaun Anderson. This was Kurtz's second-straight game going deep and fourth long ball of his MLB career. Through his first 25 games at the major league level, the former fourth overall pick has posted a .233/.277/.419 slash line. However, it appears he is starting to turn the corner from a power perspective. Earlier in the summer, Kurtz flashed elite power potential at Triple-A, launching seven home runs in just 20 games. Given his increasing production, he is a viable corner infielder in all standard formats.

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara went 2-for-3 with two round-trippers during their contest against Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday. Alcantara tallied three RBI. Over his last four contests, Alcantara has gone deep three times and tallied eight RBI. However, prior to this stretch, Alcantara carried a 16-game power slump. During this skid, the 22-year-old posted a modest 203/.282/.266 slash line with just four doubles. Through 37 total games at Triple-A Iowa, Alcantara has posted a solid .248/.325/.426 slash line with 10 doubles and five long balls. Last season, the No. 74-ranked prospect in the sport received a brief taste of MLB action and tallied one hit across three games. However, given Chicago's depth in the outfield, Alcantara may have to wait for his first extended look in the major leagues.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-handed pitching prospect Cristian Mena struck out six batters across five frames on Wednesday evening. In this outing, Mena allowed three runs (all unearned) and four hits. He did not serve up a free pass. This was the right-hander's second-straight outing now allowing an earned run. During this stretch, Mena has logged 10 1/3 innings of work to the tune of a 0.68 WHIP with 13 punchouts. Before this recent stretch, Mena carried a high 5.78 ERA with a 1.48 WHIP across his first 29 2/3 innings of work this season. Mena received a brief taste of the majors this season but logged just three 2/3 innings. He made his MLB debut last summer but also only tossed three innings. If the 22-year-old continues to progress well at Triple-A, he could be in the mix to earn a longer stint in Arizona.

New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio has continued to swing a hot bat at Triple-A and is nearing a return to the major leagues. On Wednesday, the No. 9-ranked prospect in the system went deep in his second straight contest. He also posted his third-straight multi-hit game at Triple-A Syracuse. The 24-year-old missed the entire 2024 campaign and the opening month of the 2025 season recovering from a torn ACL. However, the infielder appears to have returned to form. He made his MLB debut late in the 2023 campaign and posted a .248/.296/.347 with two home runs and seven stolen bases. While the Mets' infield is quite crowded at the moment, if Mauricio continues to hit, he will earn a promotion. Fantasy managers in NL-only formats should continue to monitor his production at Triple-A, as he may be just weeks away from his return to Queens.

Miami Marlins left-handed pitching prospect Robby Snelling struck out eight batters across six shutout frames on Wednesday evening. Snelling allowed just two hits and did not serve up a free pass. This was a much-needed bounce-back outing for the southpaw as he allowed 13 earned runs in his last three starts. However, before that rough three-game stretch, the left-hander posted a strong 1.61 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP across his first 22 1/3 innings (four starts) this season. Last season, the 21-year-old spent most of his season at the Double-A level, both in the San Diego and Miami systems. Across 109 1/3 innings, he held a 5.35 ERA with a 1.53 WHIP. Given his steady progress at Double-A this season, Snelling should be in the mix to move up to Triple-A early this season.
