Nick Nastrini Nearing Major-League Return

Chicago White Sox starting pitching prospect Nick Nastrini threw 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball on Thursday and is on the verge of returning to the major leagues. Nastrini made his major-league debut earlier in April but logged only two starts before being sent down. Since then, the 24-year-old has been pitching very well with Triple-A and could be back up with the major-league team very soon. In May, he has a 1.42 ERA and 0.79 WHIP through 12 2/3 innings. The White Sox do not have strong options in their rotation after Garrett Crochet and Erick Fedde, which makes Nastrini a worthy stash in deeper AL-only formats.

Eric Bitonti Posts First Career Multi-Hit Game

Milwaukee Brewers third base prospect Eric Bitonti posted his first career multi-hit game and launched his first professional home run on Thursday. The 18-year-old went 3-5 at the plate with one long ball and two singles. Through four games at the Arizona Complex League, the former third-round selection has a .222/.263/.389 line. MLB Pipeline ranks Bitonti as the 13th overall prospect in the Milwaukee system. Bitonti is still several seasons away from a major league debut; however, he could become a name to monitor in deeper dynasty leagues down the road if he can reach Single-A before the end of the summer.

Zac Veen Hits Fifth Home Run Of The Season

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen went 4-for-5 at the plate and launched his fifth long ball of the season, and second in as many days, on Thursday. He also swiped his eighth bag of the season. Overall, Veen has a .342/.441/.633 slash line through 23 games at Double-A this season. Veen has been in Double-A for the past three seasons but has finally been able to turn things around. In 2022, he posted a .177/.262/.234 line, and last season, he had a slightly improved .209/.303/.308 line. The former ninth overall pick in the 2020 MLB draft should be promoted to Triple-A fairly soon, which can potentially set him up for a late-season major-league debut.

Caden Dana Tosses Seven-Inning Gem on Thursday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitching prospect Caden Dana threw seven innings of one-run ball and struck out five en route to his second victory of the season on Thursday. Dana allowed just four hits and one free pass. This outing brings the 20-year-old to a dominant 1.69 ERA and 0.72 WHIP through 37 innings in his first taste of Double-A. He has tallied 32 total strikeouts. After posting a modest 4.22 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 53 innings at High-A last season, Dana looks to have found a second gear that has allowed him to succeed against stronger competition. The second-ranked prospect in the Angels system on MLB Pipeline is not projected to reach the majors until 2026, but seeing how well he is performing at Double-A, he could force his way to Triple-A by the end of the summer, which opens the door for a 2025 debut.

Xavier Isaac Launches Two Home Runs on Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays first base prospect Xavier Isaac launched two long balls in the nightcap of Thursday's doubleheader. Isaac tallied just one hit in the first game but hit his fourth and fifth home runs of the season in the second game to power Bowling Green to a victory. On the season, the 20-year-old has a .250/.346/.478 line with five swiped bags, 27 RBI through 25 games at High-A. The former first-round selection of the 2022 MLB Draft played in Single-A primarily but did see time at the end of the summer with High-A. With his strong start to the season, Isaac could very well be moved up to Double-A fairly soon. Dynasty managers should monitor Isaac for now, as he is not projected to reach the major leagues until 2026.
