Washington Nationals outfield prospect Dylan Crews launched his second home run at Triple-A on Friday evening. Crews was promoted to Triple-A Rochester on June 17 and has already hit two long balls in his first week. Through four games, the former LSU Tiger has four total hits with four RBI, two swiped bags, and a .526 SLG. Crews opened the season, getting an extended look at Double-A and held a solid .274/.343/.446 slash line with five home runs, 38 RBI, and 15 stolen bases through 51 games. The former number two overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft is considered the sixth-best prospect in baseball on MLB Pipeline. Crews should remain rostered in all dynasty and keeper leagues, and is worth stashing in deeper redraft leagues for now. If he continues this strong play at Triple-A, he could make his major league debut shortly after the All-Star Break.

New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty has performed exceptionally well through June at Triple-A Syracuse and could be nearing a return to the major leagues. Since June 1, the former first-round selection holds a .367/.407/.755 slash line with five long balls, 16 RBI, and a 3:6 BB:K ratio. In addition, Baty has begun to log starts at the keystone, which he has never done before in his professional career. This is a good sign that the Mets value his bat and want to him to return to the majors as soon as possible. Jose Iglesias has served as the primary second baseman in Queens for now as Jeff McNeil has struggled throughout the early part of the season. Baty is worth a look in deeper redraft leagues once he rejoins the Mets, as he should gain second-base eligibility.

Boston Red Sox catching prospect Kyle Teel went 2-for-4 with his eighth home run of the season in the opening game of a doubleheader on Friday. Through 54 games at Double-A Portland, the 14th overall pick in last year's draft has performed very well with a .313/.405/.493 slash line with 45 RBI and five stolen bases. Teel progressed through the lower levels of the minors very quickly last summer as he started in the Rookie League and ended by logging nine games at Double-A. Through this 26-game stretch, the Virginia product posted a .363/.482/.495 line with two home runs and 22 RBI. Teel is considered the 29th-best prospect in baseball and third in Boston on MLB Pipeline. He is projected to make his major league debut next summer but could push for a late-season call-up, especially due to how well he has performed in the minors over his first two seasons.

Oakland Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers went 2-for-4 with a go-ahead two-run home run in a 6-5 win over the Twins on Friday. The home run was his 14th of the season, tied with Adley Rutschman for the most amongst all backstops, and his three RBI gave him 39 on the year. The former first-round draft pick is coming off a season in which he blasted 22 home runs on the back of a 13.3% Barrel%, and is currently on pace to blow past that number with his 17.1% (97th percentile) Barrel%. The 26-year-old doesn't hit for average as his current .207 BA is actually better than his BA from a season ago (.205). For what it's worth, Langeliers is batting .276 over his last eight games, which for him would be considered a hot stretch.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Willi Castro went 2-for-5 with a double and a home run in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Athletics. He also collected three RBI and scored twice on the day. The 27-year-old is on a roll right now, hitting safely in his last five games while going 10-for-24 (.417) with six doubles, a home run, six RBI, and five runs scored. The Twins' utility man now has a .272-6-24-43-8 line on the season with a .353 wOBA and 131 wRC+. Castro has also batted leadoff in seven of the last eight games, increasing his fantasy value, while also eligible at 2B, 3B, SS, and OF in Yahoo leagues, making for a quality bench bat that managers can plug in almost anywhere.
