Milwaukee Brewers shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt went 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored, and stole two bases on Sunday for Double-A Biloxi. After slashing .265/.346/.404 over his first 35 games, the 20-year-old went into a 7-for-59 (.119) funk over his next 16 contests. The 6-foot-3 slugger is now slashing .231/.314/.342 for the year after his three-hit game, with 10 doubles, four home runs, and 12 steals. The Brewers will likely want to see a continuation of Sunday's performance for a while before considering pushing him to Triple-A, and Milwaukee's third-ranked prospect, who has solid all-around tools, has an MLB ETA of 2027 per MLB.com.

Minnesota Twins first base prospect Aaron Sabato took home Texas League Player of the Week honors for his performance at Double-A Wichita last week. Over six games, the 26-year-old went 10-for-24 (.417) with five doubles, three home runs, 10 RBI, seven runs scored, and he even stole one base. A 2020 first-round draft pick, Sabato struggled to a .209 batting average and .743 OPS with a 31.6 percent strikeout rate through the end of 2024, but looks to have finally begun to find his swing in 2025. An oblique injury delayed the start of his Double-A season until April 15, but through 37 games for the Wind Surge, the right-handed slugger has produced a .311 batting average with eight home runs and an improved 26.6 percent strikeout rate. What has always been a constant is a double-digit walk rate, and his 13.0 percent BB% has helped him to a strong .409 OBP so far this season. The UNC product could get a shot at Triple-A later this year, and he brings a powerful bat, so the Twins will want to see him finish strong if he's going to be in their 2026 plans.

Athletics left-hander Brady Basso (shoulder) felt good after throwing an inning with Single-A Stockton during a minor-league rehab outing on Sunday, according to MLB.com's Martin Gallegos. The A's are looking at using him in a relief role, which could get him back to the big leagues quicker. Basso is currently on the 60-day injured list and has yet to pitch in the big leagues this year due to his shoulder injury, but he could be an option out of their bullpen before the All-Star break. The 27-year-old southpaw made his MLB debut with the A's last year and posted a 4.03 ERA (3.88 FIP) and 1.25 WHIP with 19 strikeouts and five walks in seven outings (four starts) over 22 1/3 innings. Basso relies on command and doesn't have strikeout stuff, so he certainly won't be in play in mixed fantasy leagues when he returns to the majors in 2025.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh hit a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 11th inning to send the Phillies to a 4-3 win over the Cubs on Monday. He actually entered the game as a pinch hitter initially, and collected two singles in his three at-bats. While it'll go down as a single on the stat sheets, the ball was a rocket to the warning track that would have been a double if it hadn't won the game. Hopefully this is the spark that the 27-year-old needed to get going, as he's slashed just .228/.331/.325 on the season. The one silver lining of his profile has been a 13.4% walk rate, which has kept his on-base percentage manageable during the slump.

Athletics third baseman Gio Urshela (hamstring) is expected to begin a rehab assignment this week, reports Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. He has been on the injured list since May 23 with a left hamstring strain. A few weeks off isn't that long in the grand scheme of things, so he should be able to progress quickly and return to the major league lineup next week. It's not clear how much playing time Urshela will get once he is activated, as there's about to be a logjam between him, Luis Urias, Max Muncy, and Zack Gelof once he is also healthy.

Athletics second baseman Zack Gelof (ribs) is expected to begin a rehab assignment this week, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. He's already had to fight through multiple injuries in 2025, as the stress fracture in his ribs occurred while on a rehab stint to recover from hamate bone surgery that he underwent in March. The 25-year-old will fit in nicely with a young Athletics lineup that is taking a huge step forward this year. The youngster is coming off of a 2024 season where he hit 17 home runs and stole 25 bases, and his power could play up even more in Sutter Health Park. However, it also wouldn't be surprising if he struggled out of the gate, as the recovery from hamate bone surgery has a reputation for sapping power from hitters. Only time will tell but expect to see Gelof activated by the end of the month.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) is back to throwing off the mound after a brief shutdown due to back soreness, reports Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register. The ace has been on the injured list since April 27 due to shoulder inflammation, so the back soreness that popped up wasn't considered to be serious. Once he does start a minor league rehab stint in the coming weeks, it likely won't be as long as teammate Blake Snell's, since Glasnow was able to get four full starts under his belt before suffering the injury. In those 18 innings, the right-hander posted a 4.50 ERA and 1.28 WHIP.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson is expected to be called back up to join the major league rotation on Tuesday, reports Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston. With Pablo Lopez and Zebby Matthews both going on the injured list, it leaves a spot for the 24-year-old to face off against the Rangers. He'll be looking to turn his season around, considering he posted a 5.02 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 37 innings earlier in the season. It's not likely the youngster will be fantasy-relevant, considering even in Triple-A he allowed eight runs over 17 innings.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell (shoulder) is set to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday, reports Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register. This will be a significant step in his rehab process, as the lefty recovers from shoulder inflammation that has sidelined him since April 2. The 32-year-old made it this far in his recovery last month too, but was shut down when his first bullpen session caused further inflammation. The extended absence means the two-time Cy Young winner still has a long road ahead that will include many rehab starts.

Cleveland Guardians infield prospect Juan Brito (thumb) is tracking toward playing in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League this week as he works his way back from surgery on his right thumb back in late April to fix a torn ligament, according to MLB.com's Tim Stebbins. Brito, the team's No. 10 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was hitting .291/.406/.491 with an .897 OPS, two home runs, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored and four stolen bases in 16 games with Triple-A Columbus before landing on the seven-day minor-league injured list. The 23-year-old Dominican switch-hitter is nearing a return to minor-league action and could be a candidate to make his major-league debut later this season if he continues to hit the ball well upon his return. Brito never showed much power until last year, when he hit 21 bombs in 144 games. Fantasy-wise, Brito won't have a very high ceiling with fringy speed and questionable power at second base.

MLB.com's Tim Stebbins reports that Cleveland Guardians right-hander Trevor Stephan (elbow) will start a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. Stephen is attempting to return from Tommy John surgery that kept him out of action for the entire 2024 season. Because of how long he's been out, the 29-year-old should require a lengthy rehab assignment and probably won't be an option at the big-league level until after the mid-July All-Star break. When he's finally ready to return, Stephen will join Cleveland's bullpen and won't have any fantasy value in most leagues. He went 7-7 in 2023 with a 4.06 ERA (3.56 FIP), a 1.29 WHIP, two saves, 75 strikeouts and 26 walks in 71 relief appearances in 2023, one season after posting a career-low 2.69 ERA with three saves in 63 2/3 innings.

San Diego Padres right-hander Michael King (shoulder) is continuing to rest and gather information about his shoulder injury, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports. "We're just in a holding pattern to see what it is and the best way to treat it, if there is a better way to treat it outside of just the rest," manager Mike Shildt said. The Padres have been without King since inflammation forced him to the 15-day injured list on May 25 (retroactive to May 22). The loss of King has been significant for the Padres and fantasy managers alike. He stormed out of the gates this year with a 2.59 ERA and 64 strikeouts against 17 walks in 55 2/3 innings before going on the shelf. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear his return is imminent.

Cleveland Guardians right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Walters (lat) underwent surgery on his right lat on Monday, according to MLB.com's Tim Stebbins. It's a pretty significant surgery, so Walters should be expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season. Depending on how his recovery goes this winter, there's a chance he might not be ready for spring training or the 2026 season, either. The club's No. 11 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, was moved to the 60-day injured list recently and had been out since late May. The 24-year-old former second-rounder in 2023 out of Miami made two appearances out of the bullpen for the Guards this year and surrendered two earned runs while walking none and striking out two in just 1 1/3 innings. Walters features a mid-to-high-90s heater with a plus slider and has the making of a future closer at the big-league level if he can improve his command.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (oblique) has resumed baseball activities, according to the team. The Brewers have gone about a month and a half without Mitchell, who went on the 10-day injured list on April 26 with a left oblique strain. If all goes well during his rehab, he could return to the majors in late June. The 26-year-old hit a productive .255/.342/.469 with six home runs in 11 steals over a 69-game, 224-plate appearance span in 2024. However, Mitchell slumped to a .206/.286/.294 mark with no homers in 25 games and 78 trips to the plate before suffering the injury this year. Mitchell opened the season as the Brewers' primary center fielder, but Jackson Chourio has shifted from left field to take his place.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Will Brennan (elbow) underwent a full repair of the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow on Monday, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. Recovery takes six to eight months, meaning Brennan will miss the rest of the season. The 27-year-old appeared in just six of the Guardians' games this season and went 1-for-11. Brennan did accrue plenty of playing time from 2023-24, a 252-game span in which he batted .265/.303/.370 with 13 home runs, 71 RBI, and 17 stolen bases in 808 trips to the plate.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker (wrist) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment Thursday, manager Oli Marmol announced. The Cardinals haven't determined a location yet. Walker landed on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation May 31 (retroactive to May 29), continuing a brutal start to the season for the former top prospect. He hit an ugly .215/.273/.310 with three home runs, 23 RBI, and a career-worst 33.1% strikeout rate in 172 plate appearances before going on the shelf. However, the 23-year-old did raise his OPS from .498 to .583 between May 14 and his latest appearance on May 28. The Cardinals have recently given the lion's share of playing time in right field to Alec Burleson, who's hitting a solid .296/.341/.426 with five HRs and 20 RBI in 182 plate appearances.

Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck (elbow) threw a bullpen session Saturday and will throw another one sometime this week, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Houck has been out since the Red Sox placed him on the 15-day injured list on May 15 with a flexor pronator strain. He was shut down from throwing earlier in his recovery. The injury could help explain some of Houck's early season struggles. After posting a 3.12 ERA in 178 2/3 innings a year ago, Houck owns a bloated 8.04 mark over 43 2/3 frames this season. The 28-year-old also saw his strikeout, walk, and ground-ball rates go in the wrong direction before he went on the IL.

The Diamondbacks announced that they have placed right-hander Kendall Graveman (hip) on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 8, with a right hip impingement. The team recalled righty Christian Montes De Oca from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move. While Graveman began the season on the IL with back problems, he made his season debut a few weeks ago and pitched well in eight appearances from May 13 to June 5. The 34-year-old allowed just two earned runs in that span, but the wheels came off Saturday in a 13-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. Graveman coughed up six earned runs on five hits and walked two during an inning of work. As a result, his ERA shot to 8.64 over 8 1/3 frames. He has also surrendered 14 hits and recorded more walks (five) than strikeouts (three).

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (foot) is in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. Ohtani appears to be fine after getting hit in the foot by a pitch on Sunday. It didn't appear to be a significant issue, but also wouldn't be shocking to see the Dodgers rest their superstar after something like that. Ohtani will serve as the designated hitter and bat leadoff against right-hander Nick Pivetta on Monday. Fantasy managers should make sure to have Ohtani in their lineups.
