The Cincinnati Reds have placed Hunter Greene on the injured list with a right groin strain and signed Wade Miley, Charlie Goldsmith reports. The hard-throwing right-hander was removed from the game on Tuesday, as he felt his groin grab on the final two pitches. This will now be his second trip to the injured list with the same right groin injury. According to Greene, he said, "It's not really concerning, it's frustrating." Greene is having one of his best seasons of his career, making a push to be a Cy Young Award contender with a 2.72 ERA and 73 strikeouts in 59 2/3 innings pitched, but for now, he will miss his next few starts and target a mid-June return date. In the meantime, fantasy managers will want to stash him on their IL and look elsewhere for production.

San Francisco Giants right-hander Landen Roupp (3-4) was excellent on Tuesday against the San Diego Padres, throwing 6 1/3 innings of shutout baseball. He allowed four hits, two walks, and struck out five. He threw 63 of his 93 pitches for strikes, and for the second time this season, recorded an out past the sixth inning. Unfortunately for Roupp, Giants closer Camilo Doval blew the 2-0 lead in the ninth inning, and the Padres went on to win 3-2 in the tenth inning. His season ERA now sits at 3.18, and he is starting to establish himself as a reliable MLB starter. At this point, fantasy managers can continue to deploy Roupp in their starting lineups until he proves otherwise. Roupp would be on regular rest for Sunday's game against Atlanta if Justin Verlander is not activated from the injured list.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen (4-7) had a strong outing on Tuesday against the Braves. He went seven innings, allowed three runs (one earned), four hits, one walk, and struck out four. In a moment where the Diamondbacks needed a strong pitching performance after the news of Corbin Burnes, Gallen stepped up and got the job done. It's been a disappointing season for Gallen, as he owns a 5.13 ERA in 73 2/3 innings pitched. However, the 29-year-old does have a 3.44 career ERA and owns a 3.88 xERA in 2025, indicating that some positive regression may be on the horizon. What has been most concerning is his K/9 is down (8.55) and his BB/9 is up (4.03), both of which are career worsts for him. Next up for Gallen is a tough matchup in Cincinnati against the Reds this upcoming Sunday.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Michael Taylor was an RBI machine on Tuesday as the White Sox defeated the Detroit Tigers 8-1 to win game two of their three-game set. On the evening, Taylor went 1-for-2 with four RBI, two runs scored, two walks, and a home run. The home run was his third of the season, and it came in a significant moment in the sixth inning with two on and two out to extend the White Sox's lead from 1-0 to 4-0. He also stole a base, which was his seventh of the season. Taylor is now slashing .206/.277/.374 on the season, but has picked up a couple of hits in his last few games. For now, Taylor should remain on the waiver wire as he doesn't get consistent playing time and has produced minimal production thus far in 2025.

Toronto Blue Jays' outfielder Addison Barger blasted his sixth home run of the season on Tuesday, and the fourth in his last four games. The home run came in the eighth inning, with the Blue Jays down 8-1 in the contest. However, it was a two-run shot, and Barger finished his evening going 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored. He has been on a tear the last seven days, slashing .429/.478/1.048 with nine hits, four home runs, eight RBI, and seven runs scored. Fantasy managers looking to stream a hot bat will want to pick up Barger and ride out the streak, but be aware, that in 332 plate appearances at the MLB level, Barger is slashing .226/.283/.410 with 13 home runs, so if he does not stay hot, feel free to drop him. Next up for the Blue Jays is game two of their three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies

Tampa Bay Rays' young superstar Junior Caminero continues his hot streak at the plate, going 1-for-3 on Tuesday and smashing his 14th home run of the season. The home run came in the bottom of the eighth inning with the Rays in command 4-1. The home run extended the lead to 5-1, which was also the final score in the Rays' victory over the Texas Rangers. Caminero has been unstoppable at the plate in the last seven days, slashing .417/.462/1.167. During that stretch, he has hit five home runs and driven in 14 RBI. He has now seen his season slash line improve to .263/.294/.516. Caminero has been cementing himself as a top 10 third baseman from a fantasy perspective, and will look to keep it going Wednesday, as the Rays continue their series with the Rangers.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong had a strong performance in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Washington Nationals. Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-3 with a double in the fourth inning, adding two walks, two runs scored, and two stolen bases. The 23-year-old is now slashing .281/.319/.562 in 60 games this season. Crow-Armstrong has settled well into his everyday role and is now tied with Luis Robert for the MLB lead in steals with 21. He also ranks second in WAR at 3.8, trailing only likely MVP candidate Aaron Judge. Fantasy managers should continue to roll with PCA as he looks to continue his strong 2025 campaign in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez stayed hot in Tuesday night's 3-2 loss to the New York Yankees. Ramrez went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and a run scored, notching his sixth multi-hit game in his last seven contests. The 32-year-old is now slashing .330/.386/.553 with a .939 OPS through 57 games, producing at an All-Star level for Cleveland. Since May 1, Ramirez is slashing .394/.455/.651, with six home runs and 10 stolen bases over 28 games. He will look to continue his hot-hitting ways and help keep the Guardians competitive in a tightly contested AL Central.

From RotoBaller

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado was red-hot Tuesday night, going 4-for-4 with a walk in a 3-2 extra-inning win over the Giants. The veteran reached base in all five plate appearances and delivered a clutch, game-tying single in the ninth that drove in two runs. Now in his seventh season with San Diego, Machado is slashing .315/.380/.489 with an .869 OPS and .378 wOBA across 245 plate appearances. His expected batting average (xBA) of .320 is a career-high, ranking in the 98th percentile. He and the Padres will look to keep their three-game win streak going Wednesday in San Francisco.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Ramon Laureano (ankle) is set to begin his rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Norfolk. The 30-year-old has been sidelined since spraining his ankle in a May 20 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers and is targeting a return in early June. His injury came during a rough stretch for the Orioles, who also lost key names like Ryan Mountcastle (hamstring), Cedric Mullins (hamstring), and Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) to the injured list. Before going down, Laureano slashed .266/.320/.532 with six home runs, 11 RBI, and two stolen bases across 103 plate appearances. The Orioles hope his return helps stabilize a lineup missing several key contributors.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert (elbow) is scheduled to make his second rehab start Wednesday at Cheney Stadium for Triple-A Tacoma. He tossed 1 1/3 innings of one-run ball in his first outing and is expected to show progress before the Mariners consider activating him from the injured list. The Mariners initially planned for at least two rehab appearances for Gilbert as he works his way back from a Grade 1 flexor strain in his right elbow. If all goes well, the 28-year-old could rejoin the rotation as early as next Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Glbert had made six starts, posting a stellar 2.37 ERA and 0.79 WHIP across 30 1/3 innings this season.

Chicago Cubs right-handed pitching prospect Cade Horton earned his third MLB victory on Tuesday evening against the Washington Nationals. In this start, Horton tossed 5 1/3 innings of three-run ball with six hits and one walk. He struck out three. Horton allowed his first run of the game in the opening frame on an RBI single by Luis Garcia Jr. Later in the third, CJ Abrams and James Wood would bring in the other two runs via an RBI groundout and a sacrifice fly. Over his first four MLB starts, the top pitching prospect in the Cubs' system has posted a 3.74 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP across 21 2/3 innings. During this stretch, Horton has struck out just 14 batters but showed strong command, allowing just five free passes. Earlier this season at Triple-A, Horton was very effective, posting a 1.24 ERA with a 0.86 WHIP in 29 innings of work. Given his strong control, he is worth a look in deeper 12+ team leagues. He is slated to make his next start this weekend against the Detroit Tigers.

Washington Nationals infield prospect Brady House continues to approach his MLB debut. On Tuesday evening, the No. 97-ranked prospect in the sport on MLB.com, went 1-for-5 with a home run during their contest against Worcester. This performance extended House's current hitting streak to five games. Since May 2, House has been one of the most productive hitters at the Triple-A level. During this stretch, the former 11th-round pick has held a .296/.342/.546 line with nine doubles, six home runs, and a 27:7 K:BB. After posting a modest .250/.280/.375 line across his first 54 games at Triple-A last summer, House has taken a significant step forward in his development. If the 22-year-old continues to perform well, he should be in the mix to join the majors before the end of the month. He is a strong stash candidate in all 12+ team leagues.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Tigers infield prospect Kevin McGonigle continued his incredible start to the season at High-A. On Tuesday, McGonigle posted his sixth-straight multi-hit contest. He went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI. He is currently riding an eight-game hitting streak. During this stretch, he posted seven multi-hit games and tallied three or more hits in a single game twice. Through this stretch, McGonigle has posted a near-perfect .563/.650/.938 line with six doubles, two home runs, 11 RBI, and a 2:8 K:BB. He has posted a remarkable 1.587 OPS over this stretch as well. He dealt with a right ankle sprain during the opening month of the season, but it has clearly not affected his production. Fantasy managers in dynasty formats should continue to monitor his development as he is quickly ascending prospect boards.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Phillies infield prospect Otto Kemp continued to swing a hot bat at Triple-A. On Tuesday evening against Charlotte, the infielder went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI. This was his second home run over his last four games. This was also his third-straight multi-hit contest and fourth-straight contest tallying at least one hit. Through 55 games this season with Lehigh Valley, Kemp has been one of the most productive hitters at the Triple-A level, holding a stellar .324/.417/.616 line with 19 doubles, one triple, 14 home runs, and 10 stolen bases. He received a brief look at Triple-A last season but tallied just nine hits across a 13-game stint. Fantasy managers in 14+ team leagues should continue to view Kemp as a viable stash candidate. If he continues this current pace, he should get the call to Philadelphia early in the second half of the season.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Guardians first base prospect C.J. Kayfus went 1-for-4 with a home run during their contest against Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday. This was Kayfus' third-straight tallying at least one hit and adding at least one RBI. However, he was riding a 10-game power skid entering Tuesday's contest. The 23-year-old opened the season with Double-A but needed just 18 games to prove he was ready to move to the top level of the minor leagues. At Double-A, he held a stellar .364/.475/.591 line with four doubles and one home run. Through his first 28 games at the Triple-A, Kayfus has looked quite comfortable, posting a .327/.397/.570 slash line with seven doubles and five long balls. Given his impressive start to the season, Kayfus remains on track to make his MLB debut later this summer.

From RotoBaller

Baltimore Orioles catching prospect Samuel Basallo went 2-for-5 with two home runs during their contest against Triple-A Louisville. This was Basallo's second-straight game going deep and his third multi-home run game of the campaign. Through 36 games at Triple-A this season, the 20-year-old backstop has flashed elite power upside. He has gone deep 12 times and added six doubles. He has posted a .937 OPS, which is much higher than the .637 OPS he held during his first stint at Triple-A last season. Basallo is currently considered the No. 16-best prospect in the sport and the top prospect in the Baltimore system. Fantasy managers should continue to closely monitor his progression as he could be in the mix to join Triple-A in the coming weeks. For now, he is worth stashing in all deeper two-catcher leagues.

From RotoBaller

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon continued his terrific stretch on Tuesday, tossing seven one-run frames in a 3-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Rodon scattered five hits and a walk while striking out eight in this one. The 32-year-old is having one of the best stretches of his career right now, and everything seems to be clicking for him. He sits at 8-3 with a 2.49 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and 98 strikeouts in 79 IP. That's all you can ask for from any pitcher, and certainly from one drafted outside of the top 100 like Rodon was. He is a clear must-start pitcher for the foreseeable future, although one could argue selling high right now would be the shrewd move. His next start should come on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox at home.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. had a sorely needed big game on Tuesday, going 2-for-4 with a homer and four RBI in a 10-7 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Witt Jr. smacked a two-run shot in the first inning and then plated two more with a single in the fifth. The 24-year-old superstar hasn't been elite with the bat for a while now, but this performance could lift that weight off his shoulders. Even with the relatively disappointing start, Witt Jr. still has a .287 AVG with 32 runs, seven homers, 35 RBI, and 20 stolen bases. It's still high-end production, but Witt Jr. has another level that he hasn't hit yet this season. If (when?) he does, watch out.

From RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen was dominant once again on Tuesday, shutting out the Texas Rangers for five frames in a 5-1 win. Rasmussen was electric in this one, allowing just one hit and walking none while punching out eight. It was his fourth straight outing without allowing a run, a stretch of 23 innings. The only negative is that the Rays haven't extended Rasmussen at all this year, with his most pitches thrown being 86. The 29-year-old will have to remain uber-efficient in order to keep racking up quality starts and wins, which can be a tight line to walk. Still, he's been excellent at that so far this year, going 5-4 with a 2.14 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and 56 strikeouts in 63 IP. Rasmussen should be rostered and started in all leagues right now. His next start is a juicy one, as he gets the Miami Marlins at home on Sunday.
