Covered by Smada
💣💣 Jacob Wilson, SS SAC (MLB)
4-for-5, 2 HR, 2 R, 4 RBI
The Prospects Live mascot going Double Dong is a beautiful thing. Both HR were far from being no-doubters, but the fact he’s able to muscle these out and is already up to 5 HR on the year points to some big long term upside. The slash is up to .363/.389/.513 living up to that “Luis Arraez” profile.
Nick Kurtz, 1B SAC (MLB)
2-for-5, HR, 2 R, RBI, K
It took a little longer than we hoped, but Kurtz finally got to his first big league homer. It was a deep oppo fly off of J.P. Feyereisen. The strikeouts are elevated at a 37.5% clip over his first 64 PA really driving by a lack of contact on pitches in the zone. It’s a bit concerning, but we have to remember that he was playing in college this time last year and his success in Triple-A wasn’t due to a lack of swing-and-miss. You’ll have to exercise patience with Kurtz but I still think it’ll be worth it long-term.
‼️ Logan Allen, RHP CLE (MLB)
6 IP, 3 H, BB, 6 K
Logan Allen caught everyone’s attention in 2023 with a solid debut season where he managed a 3.81 ERA over 24 starts. None of the estimators supported the ERA and as he regressed in 2024 he was optioned back down to Triple-A. Allen is back this season and through 8 starts has a 3.70 ERA. Unfortunately the K-BB% is at his career worst. In general he just doesn’t have the consistent plus control to find success given his lack of swing and miss stuff.
Kristian Campbell, 2B BOS (MLB)
1-for-5, HR, R, 2 RBI, BB, K
Campbell got his 5th homer here, but he’s been running up the strikeouts recently which has leveled out the stat line a bit. It’s still positive overall with a 114 wRC+ and .254/.346/.420 slash. Worth mentioning he was dealing with rib discomfort for a few days a little over a week ago, so some of the recent struggles could be related.
Jonathan Aranda, 1B TB (MLB)
1-for-4, HR, R, 2 RBI, BB, K
How long will the Rays platoon Aranda? This was Aranda’s 6th HR of the season and he’s running a 187 wRC+ over 138 PA while running an insane hard hit rate.
Junior Caminero, 3B TB (MLB)
1-for-5, HR, R, 4 RBI, K
What a moment for Caminero who broke the game open in the 9th with a grand slam off Jeff Hoffman. It was Caminero’s 8th of the season and while the slash looks uninspiring I’d expect the BABIP to help it rebound over the course of the summer. When he’s able to learn some zone recognition he’s going to be a scary player.
Brett Baty, 2B-3B NYM (MLB)
2-for-3, HR, R, RBI
Snip snap, snip snap, snip snap. Since being recalled back from Triple-A, Baty has hit 4 HR over 6 games. This HR was a go-ahead shot in the 7th that would be enough for the Mets to hold on for a W. Is this the time he finally establishes himself as a regular?
Drake Baldwin, C ATL (MLB)
3-for-4, HR, 3 R, 2 RBI
Baldwin continues to mash in his limited opportunities. Sean Murphy is a better defensive catcher and is hitting well enough right now and Marcell Ozuna clogs the DH spot so it’s going to take an injury to get Baldwin any sort of real opportunity and one that us fantasy managers can utilize outside of daily moves leagues.
Kyle Stowers, LF MIA (MLB)
1-for-4, HR, R, RBI, 2 K
Stowers hit his 8th HR of the season bringing the slash up to .287/.365/.507. He’s a one-dimensional power hitter that’s getting an opportunity to showcase that skill on the rebuilding Marlins club. He whiffs way too much and is a poor defender. The time to sell is now.
‼️ Jack Leiter, RHP TEX (MLB)
6 IP, 2 H, ER, 3 BB, 5 K
If anyone needed to face the Rockies it was Jack Leiter who had struggled in all three of his starts back from the IL. Seeing another 3 BB here doesn’t really give me additional confidence. The upside remains but I’d be careful in trusting him in your rotation until he gets the walks back under control.
💣💣 Josh Jung, 3B TEX (MLB)
3-for-4, 2 HR, 2 R, 4 RBI
The Double Dong gives Jung 6 HR on the season. So far the whiffs are a smidge better than his career numbers which would elevate the profile if it’s for real. But honestly we just need to see him stay healthy.
Matthew Lugo, PH-CF LAA (MLB)
1-for-1, HR, R, 2 RBI
Lugo was called up 5 days ago, starting two games and entering as a pinch hitter or pinch runner in the other three. In both the pinch hit opportunities he’s gotten he’s went deep. The results at Triple-A were rough with a 64 wRC+ through 168 PA so I wouldn’t get too excited here. But if he does build into some more playing time he’s probably a temporary bench spot.
Christian Koss, 2B SF (MLB)
2-for-4, HR, R, 4 RBI, 2 K
Congrats to Christian Koss on his first big league home run, which also happened to be a grand slam! He was able to pull this one into the fist row of the left field bleachers off of Brandon Pfaadt. Koss has been getting time at 2B and the results have been pretty rough at the plate. But it’s always good to see a 27 year old rookie getting his shot.
