Detroit Tigers infield prospect Max Anderson was 4-for-5 with two homers and four RBI for High-A West Michigan on Tuesday. The Tigers' No. 16 prospect is hitting .258 with seven homers and 39 RBI for West Michigan this season. The 2023 second-round pick of the Tigers out of Nebraska is considered a pure hitter with some power upside. The two-homer display was the latest proof of some of that potential. Anderson has been solid all season in his first taste of High-A and at 22 years old, should continue to advance quickly through the Tigers' system. He could be looking at a promotion by season's end but still could be a couple of years away from any potential big-league impact.

San Diego Padres shortstop prospect Leodalis De Vries was 1-for-3 with a home run for Single-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday. The Padres' No. 4 prospect is off to a slow start at Single-A so far this season, hitting .197 with one homer and 15 RBI to go with five steals in 36 games. At just 17 years old, De Vries is adjusting to professional ball but the upside is there for one of the top recent international signings. The youngster out of the Dominican Republic is a name to file away in dynasty leagues, but he is a long way off the radar in redraft leagues. The home run on Tuesday, the first of his minor league career, is a good start as he begins to chart his path through the Padres' minor league system.

Minnesota Twins shortstop prospect Brooks Lee (back) is on a tear since returning to the lineup for Triple-A St. Paul. Lee was 1-for-4 with a homer for the Saints on Tuesday night, bringing his June total to five homers and 16 RBI with a .344 batting average in 15 games at Triple-A this month. The Twins No. 2 prospect is showing that he is back healthy and making a case for a promotion to Minnesota. The 23-year-old is a premium prospect who could be an impact waiver-wire addition upon his call-up. He has a rare 65-grade hit tool with 55-grade power. The sweet-swinging shortstop is doing everything he can to prove he is worthy of his big-league opportunity. Fantasy managers should keep a close watch.

Milwaukee Brewers top pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski fired 5 2/3 scoreless innings on Tuesday for Double-A Biloxi, giving up just three hits and two walks with eight strikeouts. The 22-year-old made it back-to-back dominant starts for the Shuckers, dropping his season ERA to 3.10 with a 1.29 WHIP. He has 73 strikeouts in 58 innings pitched, which is what fantasy managers like to see out of their starting pitchers. The strikeout upside and overall polish make Misiorowski one of the top pitching prospects in the minors. If he continues his good run of outings, he could be looking at a promotion to Triple-A shortly. Next season is the most likely timetable for an MLB debut for Misiorowski, but he is a name to monitor in redraft leagues if he accelerates that timeline.

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Jeimer Candelario and outfielder Will Benson are not in Wednesday's lineup as the Reds look to clinch a series victory over their division rival Pittsburgh Pirates. Candelario has started in each of the past five games with a modest .182 AVG. Benson usually slots in right-field against right-handed pitching, but Wednesday will be an exception. As a result, Santiago Espinal will man the hot corner and bat eighth, and Jake Fraley will cover right field and bat third. They will face Pirates right-hander Luis Ortiz who enters this game with an overall 3.45 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP and allowed 10 hits and six earned runs in his previous start. Both are solid options in DFS this afternoon with a great matchup and playing in hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark.
