‼️Tarik Skubal, LHP DET (MLB)

7 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 10 K

The 2025 AL Cy Young is looking like a lock for Skubal as he had a dominant 10 K performance. His ability to go deep into games while keeping his velo up is a credit to his stamina, but we are witnessing one of the best LHPs of our generation. He holds an AL-best 2.32 ERA and has notched 200 Ks for the second consecutive season.

‼️David Peterson, LHP NYM (MLB)

8 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 10 K

Peterson continues to fly under the radar as he now holds a 3.14 ERA through 144.1 IP. He likes to rely on his changeup to induce swing and miss and against the Nationals, he had a 53.8 chase% and forced a 58.3 Whiff%.

💣💣Cody Bellinger, OF NYY (MLB)

4-5, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 3 R

Belli bombs has been as good as it can get for NYY while being able to play multiple positions as a UTL man. He ended up playing all 3 positions in the OF vs the Rays. He now has 24 HR/75 RBI/10 SB on the season behind a .825 OPS.

Alex Call, OF LAD ( MLB) 

4-5, HR, 2 RBI, 3 R

The Dodgers tarded for Alex Call for games like this. He has struggled thus far since being traded, but he presents sneaky upside in the middle of a stacked lineup. He has been known for being a plus defender in the OF., Call might not be ready to plug in your lineup, but he would be a nice addition to the bench. I would add before he gets hot. 

💣💣Jo Adell, OF LAA (MLB) 

3-4, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 2 R

Adell is another example that player development isn’t linear, and it is great to see what he has been able to do this season.  It is his 4th multi-homer game of the season and he will look to finish with 34-35 home runs. Is this his ceiling or is he still scratching the surface?

Jeff McNeil, 2B NYM (MLB)

3-4 HR, 3 RBI, 2 R, 1 BB

McNeil is simply a consistent player who will always hit around .260 and notch 10-15 HR. He is safe play at 2B if there are no premier options. He holds a .795 OPS on the season.

Corbin Carroll, OF ARI (MLB)

2-4, 2 3B, RBI, 2 R, 1 SB

Carroll flashes the speed notching 2 3B, but I would like him to attempt to steal more bags as he is only at 17 on the season. I am assuming he will look to steal as who would pass up on a 30/30 season. He can steal bags in his sleep, but on a serious note, what a player we are seeing. 

Owen Caissie, OF CHC (MLB)

2-4, HR, 2 RBI, 1 R

First MLB home run for Caissie. Caissie has shown his maturity at the plate and doesn’t look overmatched by any means. He has shown advanced bat speed, staying inside pitches, and driving them the other way. If he can match his production long-term like he did in the minors, Chicago have themselves another gem. 

George Springer, OF TOR (MLB)

2-4, HR, 3 RBI, 1 R

The resurgence year continues for Springer as he now holds the 2nd-highest wRC+ of all OFs in all of baseball. He now has 21 HR on the year and is proving his worth for TOR.

Nick Kurtz, 1B ATH (MLB)

3-3, RBI, 1 R, 2 BB

Running out of room for Kurtz and what he provides long-term. He has a scary high ceiling and is to me the best 1B in all of fantasy baseball, as a rookie. He holds a ridiculous 181 wRC+ and is now hitting 313/.397/.645. Oh, and he has the highest OPS through 75 PA since the All-Star Break.  

Triple-A

Covered by Nate Rasmussen

💣💣Ryan Ward, LF LAD (Triple-A)

4-for-6, 2 HR, 3 R, 4 RBI

Ryan Ward is the Triple-A MVP for 2025 without a doubt. He’s hit 31 home runs so far this year, with 111 RBI while maintaining a .300 batting average. I’m kinda surprised a mid-level team didn’t try and trade for Ward at the deadline, with a September call-up being the only possibility for Ward to get some time with the MLB squad this year.

Kyler Fedko, LF MIN (Triple-A)

5-for-5, HR, 2 2B, 4 R, 2 RBI

Kyler Fedko has a 183 wRC+ in 16 Triple-A games since promotion. With the state of the Twins' current roster, I wouldn’t be surprised if Fedko is a mainstay in their lineup for the next few years. There’s a good mix of power and speed for Kyler, but he’s more of a DH type in the outfield without much defensive value.

‼️Ethan Pecko, RHP HOU (Triple-A)

4 IP, 3 H, 3 BB, 6 K

Ethan Pecko was effectively wild yesterday without allowing any runs in 4 innings. Pecko has plus stuff led by a great fastball, and has gotten unlucky for most of 2025. His FIP sits at 3.61, whereas his ERA is 4.75, with plenty of batted ball luck not going Pecko’s way. Expect him to get a shot in Houston during the second half of 2026.

Hao-Yu Lee, DH DET (Triple-A)

3-for-5, 2 2B, R, RBI, BB

Hao-Yu Lee is a fun prospect, without any true carrying tools other than being a polished hitter. Lee doesn’t strike out much, walks enough, hits for middling power, and steals enough bases to be fun. Second base is his future home alongside DH, which limits his MLB value long-term.
