Washington Nationals closer Kyle Finnegan collected his 15th save of the season on Thursday, slamming the door on the Atlanta Braves to secure a 3-1 win. Finnegan allowed just a walk and struck out one in his inning of work. The 32-year-old has been excellent as the Nats closer this year, going 15-for-17 in save opportunities while pitching to a 1.64 ERA and 0.95 WHIP. He is now fifth in the majors in saves and should remain a solid relief pitcher option in fantasy leagues.

New York Mets reliever Reed Garrett collected his third save of the season on Thursday, tossing a clean ninth inning in a 3-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Garrett allowed a walk but got through the inning fairly easily otherwise. With Edwin Diaz being placed on the IL and struggling mightily before that, Garrett should be in line for save opportunities for at least a little while. Unfortunately, Garrett has had his own performance issues recently, allowing seven runs (six earned) in his last 2 IP before tonight. That said, it is a good sign that the team is still confident enough in the 31-year-old breakout to give him the opportunity to save this one. He is still a solid add in any leagues where saves matter in the hopes he can bounce back to his early-season self.

Kansas City Royals catching prospect Blake Mitchell went 3-for-5 at the plate with two home runs and three RBI on Thursday evening. Through his first 41 games at Single-A this season, the top prospect in Kansas City has posted a .260/.395/.493 slash line with eight long balls, 24 RBI, and 10 swiped bags. The former eighth overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft logged just 13 games in the Rookie League last season and struggled with a .147 average. Mitchell is ranked as the No. 71 overall prospect in baseball on MLB Pipeline and is projected to reach the majors in 2027. The 19-year-old should develop into one of the game's top prospects but should be left on your waiver wire in dynasty leagues for a few seasons.

Colorado Rockies starting pitching prospect Sean Sullivan logged his first complete game of the season but was charged with a hard-luck loss in a 1-0 loss. He allowed five hits, one earned run, one free pass and struck out seven. After logging just two innings with Single-A last summer, Sullivan has been with High-A all season and looked quite sharp. Across 49 innings, the 2023 second-round selection has posted a 2.37 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and 4:57 BB:K ratio. The 21-year-old had one blow-up start on May 17, where he allowed six runs, but never allowed more than 3 in any other outing this season. The Wake Forest product is projected to reach the majors in 2026 but could push for a 2025 debut, especially if he reaches Double-A later this summer.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Alexander Canario launched two home runs on Thursday evening, a feat he has accomplished twice this week. The 24-year-old has been swinging a hot bat lately with Triple-A and is nearing a return to the major leagues. Since May 18, the young outfielder has posted a .326/404/.826 line with six home runs, 13 RBI, one stolen base, and a 6:12 BB:K ratio. Canario has gotten a small taste of the majors earlier this spring and last season and held an overall .282/.333/.538 line with two home runs. While he should be back in Chicago later this summer, the Cubs have a surplus of outfielders, which could limit his playing time once again. For now, Canario should be left on waiver wires but could be worth stashing if he is eventually given a full-time role.
