New York Yankees starting pitching prospect Will Warren was sharp once again on Wednesday evening as he tossed six innings of two-run ball with seven hits, two walks, and six punchouts. Since June 7, Warren has held a solid 2.60 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and a 3:19 BB:K ratio. This is a big step in the right direction for the Southern Louisiana University product as he held a high 15.88 ERA and 2.41 WHIP through May. The 25-year-old spent most of last season with Triple-A and held a 3.61 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and a 47:110 BB:K ratio compared to the 6.65 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, and a 26:72 BB:K ratio he currently sits with. The number seven ranked prospect in the Yankee system on MLB.com could make his major league debut later this summer but will have to continue to produce solid outings across a longer period of time at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre first.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitching prospect Caden Dana continued his stellar June with another impressive showing on Wednesday evening, where he struck out seven across 5 1/3 frames. He allowed two runs, three hits, and three free passes. Since June 1, the 20-year-old has looked dominant with a 1.71 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and a 7:32 BB:K. Overall through his first 75 1/3 innings at Double-A, the 2022 draft pick has posted a 2.39 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and a 24:79 BB:K. Dana is on pace to have the best season of his minor-league career, as he struggled last summer at High-A with a 4.22 ERA and 1.29 WHIP and had a 6.48 ERA and 1.56 WHIP the year prior. Dana is ranked as the No. 2 prospect in the Angeles system on MLB Pipeline and is projected to reach the majors in 2026. However, given how well he is performing now, a 2025 debut is not out of the question.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas (hamstring) will play in another Arizona Complex League game on Friday after the soreness in his injured hamstring subsided. Thomas reported "general soreness" in his hamstring earlier this week, which caused the Diamondbacks to temporarily pause his rehab assignment after he went 3-for-3 with a double and two RBI in his first three games in the Arizona Complex League. The 24-year-old has recovered quickly from his soreness and will resume playing in minor-league games this weekend. If all goes well this weekend, he could move his rehab assignment to a higher affiliate next week. Since he's been out since April 1, the D-backs want to see him play in more games before activating him from the injured list. When Thomas is back, he should see regular playing time in center field against righties, but so far he's mostly been a glove guy in the big leagues.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones (illness) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday for the series finale against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. Jones was scratched from the lineup on Wednesday while being under the weather and apparently he is still not feeling good enough to play a day later. Sean Bouchard will make another start in left field and will bat second against Dodgers right-hander Gavin Stone. Bouchard went 1-for-4 with a double, RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's victory. He'll be a deep DFS sleeper in the two-hole and is hitting just .205 (16-for-78) on the year with a homer, seven RBI and four steals. Jones teased his upside in 2023 with a 20-20 campaign but has so far been either hurt or ineffective at the plate for the Rockies and fantasy managers this year.

San Francisco Giants starting pitching prospect Carson Whisenhunt tossed 4 1/3 shutout frames with seven punchouts, five hits, and two free passes on Wednesday evening. Whisenhunt has struggled at times through his first look at Triple-A ball this season but has recently begun to find his footing. In his past three starts, he has posted a stellar 1.72 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and a 7:17 BB:K. Through 61 total frames, he carries a 4.87 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, and a 33:82 BB:K. The No. 66 prospect on MLB Pipeline has progressed through the minor leagues very quickly, as he started in Single-A and finished the season in Double-A last summer. He is currently on pace to make his major-league debut later this summer. The 23-year-old southpaw is an intriguing stash candidate in dynasty leagues and could be worth rostering in redraft leagues during the second half of the season.
