New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk in Wednesday's 5-0 victory over the Nationals. He's enjoyed a nice start to June, picking up at least one hit in eight of ten games. The 32-year-old is slashing .236/.302/.439 with 12 home runs, 36 RBI, 32 runs, and four stolen bases this year. He is usually known more for his on-base skills than his power, but there has been a reversal so far this season. Nimmo's walk rate is all the way down to 8.0% compared to his 12.4% career mark, while he is already over halfway to his 2024 home run total. It's still a productive skill set for fantasy purposes, and he should be viewed as a top-35 outfielder moving forward.

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson was masterful on Wednesday against the Nationals, striking out nine in a complete-game shutout. He allowed six hits and didn't walk a batter. It looked to be a great matchup going in against a Washington lineup that struggles against lefties, but no one would have predicted a start this good. He induced 13 whiffs on the night, and all five of his pitches each had an individual called strike plus whiff rate of 30 percent or higher. The 29-year-old has yet to allow more than three runs in a start all season long and will carry a 2.49 ERA into his next outing against the Braves.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez went 3-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Mariners. The slugger has been heating back up at the plate, launching three home runs in the past five games. His .233 batting average leaves something to be desired, but 32 of his 58 hits have gone for extra bases. This has led to a .514 slugging percentage that is third among all third basemen, behind only Rafael Devers and Jose Ramirez. The 33-year-old's 19 home runs on the season tie him for the fifth most in all of major league baseball, and he is on pace to top 40 home runs for the second time in his career.

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Wednesday's 10-1 win against the Tigers. This is about as good of a return as you can ask for, with the 26-year-old homering in back-to-back games after getting activated off the injured list. There's seemingly no rust to shake off after missing over a month with a hamstring strain. He's still slashing only .232/.290/.465 thanks to an underwhelming April, but the youngster still has the upside to be a high-end third baseman for fantasy if he returns to his 2024 form.

Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker had a monster day at the plate on Wednesday, going 4-for-5 with two home runs, one double, three runs, and three RBI. This was the first time he homered in June, snapping a 10-game home run drought that is rare for the slugger. He's now slashing .276/.342/.498 with 15 home runs, 41 RBI, and 44 runs on the season. The 30-year-old has seen a slight decline in batting average since last year, dropping from .293 to .276. This is surprising since he is striking out at a way lower rate, improving from 28.8% in 2024 to 20.8% this season. That could suggest that even better days are ahead for Rooker, who has maintained his place as one of the best power-hitters in the sport.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach threw the first complete game of his career and earned the win in a 6-2 win against the Brewers on Wednesday. He allowed two runs on five hits while striking out nine over the nine frames. He has only pitched less than six innings in a start two times all season, and four of his past six outings have been at least seven innings. Not only has he been extremely efficient, but he also has excelled at missing bats, with two 11-strikeout performances in that same span. The youngster is giving Chris Sale a run for his money as the best pitcher on that staff, and he'll carry a 3.11 ERA and 1.00 WHIP into his next start against the Mets.

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Brendan Donovan (toe) said his MRI exam showed a sprained capsule in the joint of his left big toe. Donovan added that trainers "threw the book at it" on Wednesday in terms of treatment, and he's not concerned it's an injured list situation, calling that a "worst-case scenario." The 28-year-old was pulled from Tuesday's loss against the Toronto Blue Jays and sat out of their loss in the series finale on Wednesday. It's possible he could miss the first couple games of the series against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers, which starts on Thursday, but fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned. Nolan Gorman should play second for St. Louis for as long as Donovan remains out. Donovan has hit a strong .310 (77-for-248) on the year, but he's gone 7-for-35 (.200) with 10 K's in nine games so far in June. The contact-oriented hitter doesn't offer much besides a high average in fantasy.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that right-hander Tanner Houck (elbow) will throw an up-and-down bullpen session at the end of this week. It will be Houck's second bullpen session after he threw one last Saturday. The 28-year-old is making progress, although it's unclear when exactly he might be able to return to Boston's starting rotation after a right flexor-pronator strain sent him to the 15-day injured list. The former 24th overall pick in 2017 out of Missouri was having a nightmarish season through nine starts before his injury, going 0-3 with an 8.04 ERA (6.10 FIP) and 1.69 WHIP with 32 strikeouts and 17 walks in 43 2/3 innings pitched. It was a sharp contract from when he had a 2.54 ERA in the first half last year to earn his first trip to the All-Star game. Houck is a ground-ball artist who could bounce back with better health for fantasy managers in the second half.
From RotoBaller
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that right-hander Kutter Crawford (knee, wrist) wasn't "feeling great," which is why he's back to playing catch instead of throwing bullpen sessions. It's a setback for Crawford, who has yet to pitch in 2025. The 29-year-old made a career-high 33 starts last year, lost a league-high 16 games and allowed a league-high 34 home runs, and then injured his knee in spring training. A wrist injury has given him problems of late, and he doesn't appear to be close to returning from the 60-day injured list. At this point, fantasy managers in deeper leagues shouldn't expect Crawford back until sometime in the second half of the season. When/if Crawford makes it back in 2025, he won't be guaranteed a spot in Boston's starting rotation and might be ticketed for a long-relief role.

New York Yankees first baseman/designated hitter Ben Rice hasn't started a game at catcher this year, but with Giancarlo Stanton's (elbows) return looming, manager Aaron Boone said Rice could start some games behind the plate. The Yankees are going to have a logjam for DH duties when Stanton returns to the big-league roster, possibly as soon as next week, so the Yankees are going to need to get creative as they look for ways to keep Rice's bat in the lineup. The 26-year-old left-handed slugger is breaking out in his second MLB season with 12 home runs, 25 RBI, 33 runs scored and two stolen bases in 57 games played this year. He's hitting .240 (46-for-192), but his xBA of .295 indicates more good times are on the way. His 94.4 mph average exit velocity ranks sixth in all of baseball, and he's tied with Matt Olson for seventh with a 55.9% hard-hit rate.

New York Yankees right-handed reliever Luke Weaver (hamstring) said he felt "great" after throwing his second bullpen session on Wednesday at Kauffman Stadium. Weaver landed on the 15-day injured list on June 3 with a strained hamstring and received a platelet-rich plasma injection, and now he's no longer feeling anything in his leg. The 31-year-old veteran was given a return timetable of four to six weeks, but he appears to be making good progress and could be back on the short end of that timeline, barring a setback when he resumes facing live hitters. Before his injury, Weaver took over primary closing duties from Devin Williams, who got off to a rough start in his first year in New York. Weaver has eight saves with a stingy 1.05 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and 24 strikeouts in 25 2/3 innings, although he could return to the eighth-inning setup role with Williams settling down of late.

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) went 1-for-4 with an RBI double and a strikeout in his second minor-league rehab game with Double-A Somerset in the first game of a doubleheader on Wednesday against Double-A Portland. Stanton's double had an exit velocity of 110.6 mph off the bat, and he's now 3-for-4 with four RBI in his first two rehab games. The 35-year-old former MVP has been out all season with tennis elbow in both of his arms, but he's finally playing in games again and could make his 2025 debut by next week, barring a setback during his rehab assignment. Stanton might not play regularly because he'll be limited to DH duties the rest of the year, but for his power alone, he's worth a waiver-wire pickup if he's available in your league. The five-time All-Star has 429 round-trippers in his 15 years in the big leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement (lower body) suffered what appeared to be a left-knee injury in the eighth inning in Wednesday's win over the St. Louis Cardinals while diving for a ground ball at third base and left the game, but he said he's OK. Manager John Schneider also said that Clement is fine. "They just forced me to come out - just precautionary because we have the off day tomorrow," Clement said. The 29-year-old had a big game before exiting, recording three hits, including his fourth home run of the year, as the Blue Jays swept the Cardinals in St. Louis. With a day off coming on Thursday, it's possible that Clement will be ready to roll for Friday's series opener in Philadelphia against the Phillies. Clement makes a lot of contact at the plate but is primarily an AL-only asset in fantasy because he lacks considerable power and speed.

The Minnesota Twins announced on Wednesday that they transferred right-hander Pablo Lopez (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list to make room on the 40-man roster for left-hander Joey Wentz, who they claimed off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Lopez is dealing with a Grade 2 right teres major muscle strain in his right shoulder and was already expected to miss at least two months, so his move to the 60-day IL isn't all that notable. The 29-year-old Venezuelan hurler should be stashed in most fantasy leagues while he recovers, as he was in the midst of a strong season before his injury, going 5-3 with a 2.82 ERA (2.98 FIP) and 1.07 WHIP with 61 punchouts and 14 walks in 60 2/3 innings over 11 starts. With both Lopez and Zebby Matthews (shoulder) on the IL, David Festa and Simeon Woods Richardson have joined Minnesota's rotation.

Tampa Bay Rays ace Shane McClanahan (triceps) is "kind of in a shut-down mode," according to manager Kevin Cash, and will visit with another nerve specialist before the team determines the next step in his recovery. McClanahan threw a successful bullpen session last Friday, but apparently he's had a setback since then. This doesn't sound good, but we'll have to wait and see what the specialist says. The 28-year-old southpaw hasn't pitched all year and might be in danger of being shut down for the rest of the 2025 season, depending on his diagnosis. Even if he is cleared to resume his throwing program going forward, fantasy managers shouldn't expect McClanahan to return to the major-league starting rotation until sometime later in the second half. McClanahan made the All-Star squad his last two seasons in 2022 and 2023 and has 456 K's in 404 2/3 innings in his first three MLB seasons.

Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (triceps) took a step in the right direction on Wednesday by playing catch, according to DLLS Sports' Jeff Wilson. The Rangers are still unsure when Eovaldi will return from the 15-day injured list, though. He is eligible to come back this Friday, but that isn't going to happen since he hasn't gotten back on a mound yet following a right-triceps injury that put him on the shelf on May 29. In the meantime, Jacob Latz could remain in Texas' starting rotation. The 35-year-old should remain stashed in all fantasy formats, and hopefully he'll be able to return from the IL before the end of June. In his first 12 starts of the year in 2025, Eovaldi had gone 4-3 with a 1.56 ERA (2.32 FIP) and league-best 0.81 WHIP with 73 strikeouts and 10 walks in 69 1/3 innings pitched. He should remain a high-floor fantasy starter whenever he returns.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cody Bradford (elbow) faced hitters for a live batting practice session on Wednesday. Bradford reportedly looked good during his 22-pitch session, according to manager Bruce Bochy. The organization is hopeful to continue stretching out Bradford, assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks from this session. There isn't a timetable for his return, but the hope is that Bradford should be able to return to the starting rotation around July. He has been sidelined all season long due to an elbow sprain. Fantasy managers can leave Bradford on the waiver wire until he's closer to getting back on the big league mound.
From RotoBaller
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jackson Jobe (elbow) received some bad news on Wednesday. Jobe will reportedly undergo Tommy John surgery on his elbow, which will sideline him for the rest of the season. The right-hander was placed on the injured list at the end of May due to a right elbow flexor strain. It was apparently worse than that, so he'll miss the second half of the season and part of the 2026 campaign as well. This is frustrating to both fantasy managers and baseball fans in general as Jobe is one of the top prospects in the Tigers system. Fantasy managers in redraft formats can safely drop Jobe with him done for the 2025 season. The Tigers should give a better timetable on his eventual return at a later date.
From RotoBaller
New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (neck) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This is great news after Chisholm was forced to exit early on Tuesday due to neck tightness. It appears his removal was precautionary and he's ready to go on Wednesday. Chisholm will cover third base and bat fifth versus left-hander Kris Bubic. Fantasy managers can safely get Chisholm back in their lineups on Wednesday.
From RotoBaller
San Francisco Giants catcher Patrick Bailey (neck) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Bailey was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's contest with neck spasms. He has now been diagnosed with a neck strain and will miss at least a week of action. Andrew Knizner will do the catching on Wednesday and figures to see a majority of the time behind the plate while Bailey is out. In a corresponding move, Logan Porter has been recalled from Triple-A and will serve as the backup catcher. Bailey hasn't done enough at the plate to warrant holding through the injury.
