The Cleveland Guardians have promoted starting pitcher prospect Doug Nikhazy to Triple-A Columbus. The 24-year-old started 11 games this season for Double-A Akron, posting a 3.17 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and a 25.9% K%. The command has been a concern after allowing a 15.4% BB% last season over 26 appearances (22 starts), but it has improved in 2024, down to 10.1%. The righty could make it to Cleveland in 2025, and as a former second-round draft pick, dynasty managers will want to pay attention to how successful he is as he begins to compete at this next stop.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson (elbow) made his second minor-league rehab start for the Florida Complex League Braves on Monday. The 26-year-old pitched three innings, allowing one earned run on three hits, no walks, and a hit batsman while striking out three. Over two rehab starts, the righty hasn't issued a walk and has struck out seven in five innings of work. The former first-round draft pick is expected to move on to one of the higher Braves affiliates for his next start, but a decision hasn't been made yet on where that will be.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper continued to slug in Monday's 8-1 win over the Tigers. Harper went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a three-run home run, five RBI, and a strikeout. He also took part in turning a triple play in the third inning. The 31-year-old has produced like the high-end fantasy draft pick he was, slashing .303/.401/.577 with 19 HR, 51 runs scored, 56 RBI, and four stolen bases in 322 plate appearances. He may not produce as many steals as he has earlier in his career, but Harper has produced almost as many HR as he did in each of the 2022 and 2023 seasons. He should continue to be a top fantasy contributor in at least four categories.

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm continued his strong offensive season in Monday's 8-1 victory over the Tigers. Bohm went 4-for-5 with two singles, a double, a two-run home run, three RBI, a strikeout, and a stolen base. The 27-year-old has fully emerged as the former top fantasy prospect he once was and is now slashing .313/.366/.507 with nine home runs, 37 runs scored, 64 RBI, and four stolen bases in 325 plate appearances. Bohm's performance has been that of a fantasy All-Star, as he has clearly over-produced from his preseason average draft position, which was roughly around pick 150 overall.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola improved to 9-3 in Monday's 8-1 win over the Tigers. Nola pitched seven innings, allowing one run on six hits and no walks with six strikeouts. He also hit a batter. The 31-year-old is having a nice bounce-back season with a 3.39 ERA, an 8.02 K/9 rate, and a 2.23 BB/9 rate in 16 starts and 101 IP. His strikeout rate is the lowest since his rookie season, but 11 of his 16 starts have been quality starts. Nola has puzzled fantasy managers with alternating good and disappointing seasons over the last several seasons, so they will gladly take his current overall success. His next matchup will be another great one against the Marlins.
