Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio went 2-for-4 in Wednesday afternoon's win over the visiting Texas Rangers, tallying his eighth home run of the season. Chourio hit an inside-the-park homer to center field off Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi, knotting the game at five runs apiece in the fourth inning. The 20-year-old top prospect has picked it up in June after looking overmatched at the plate for most of the year, slashing .302/.348/.492 with three long balls, three doubles, 13 RBI, and two stolen bases over 63 at-bats this month. Chourio is worth a look if he's hanging around fantasy waiver wires in shallow leagues.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Joey Estes struck out eight batters over 5 2/3 innings in his start against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday afternoon, but he was saddled with his third loss of the year after giving up two runs on three hits and two walks. Estes also notably put out Angels outfielder Kevin Pillar to escape a bases-loaded jam in the first inning. The 22-year-old right-hander will carry a 5.24 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 39:12 K:BB through 46 1/3 frames into his next scheduled start, which lines up sometime during next week's series at home against these same division-rival Angels. Fantasy managers can do a lot better on waiver wires.

San Diego Padres catcher Kyle Higashioka racked up six RBI in Wednesday afternoon's win over the visiting Washington Nationals, smashing two home runs in the victory. After smacking a two-run homer to left field to give the Padres a 2-0 lead in the second inning, Higashioka clobbered his second long ball of the game with a grand slam to left field off Nationals right-hander Tanner Rainey to extend San Diego's lead to 8-0 in the eighth frame. The 34-year-old longtime New York Yankee is worth considering in two-catcher fantasy leagues while starting backstop Luis Campusano (thumb) is on the injured list, slashing a robust .289/.333/.822 with seven big flies and 17 RBI across 45 at-bats during the month of June.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday afternoon's win over the division-rival Oakland Athletics, collecting three RBI in the victory. Neto cleared the bases with a three-run double off Athletics right-hander Austin Adams to give the Angels a 4-1 lead in the sixth inning. The 23-year-old former first-round pick has been a steady presence at shortstop for the Halos in 2024, batting .256 (67-for-262) with 10 home runs, 18 doubles, 35 RBI, and 10 stolen bases covering 77 games. Neto is a decent fantasy option for power and speed in AL-only or deep mixed leagues.

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (shin) will travel with the team to New York this weekend for their series against the New York Mets with hopes he can get on the field soon. Tucker took 30 swings off the tee on Tuesday, but considering he still needs to resume running, it's highly unlikely that he'll be able to return to the Astros before the end of June at this point. The 27-year-old star outfielder has missed more time than anticipated due to a right shin contusion, so it's likely Tucker will now need a brief minor-league rehab assignment before coming off the injured list.
