Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Joel Payamps tossed a scoreless ninth inning to preserve a 1-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday. Payamps struck out one while needing just 11 pitches to send the Reds down in order in the top of the ninth inning. The veteran reliever has now appeared in four games this season, allowing five runs over three innings of work while striking out three. He will continue to operate in a setup role behind closer Trevor Megill in the Milwaukee pen.

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Nestor Cortesturned in a quality start in a 1-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday. Cortes tossed six shutout innings, allowing just one hit while striking out six and walking two to earn his first win of the season. The veteran hurler evened his record at 1-1 after a rough season debut against the New York Yankees that saw him cough up eight runs in two innings. Cortes will look to stay in the win column in his next start.

New York Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham had a big night in a 9-7 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday. Grisham went 3-for-4 with a double, a homer, and three RBI to help lead New York to the win. Grisham's homer was a two-run blast off Arizona starter Merrill Kelly in the third inning while his other RBI came on a double in the first inning. The veteran outfielder has been swinging a hot bat in limited playing time for the Yankees this season as he has five hits in 10 at-bats thus far. He will look to stay hot as the Yankees open up a weekend series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Baltimore Orioles catching prospect Samuel Basallo went 2-for-4 with a home run during their victory over the Charlotte Knights on Thursday evening. Basallo hit a two-run shot in the sixth frame, which also scored outfielder Dylan Beavers. This was Basallo's second long ball of the Triple-A regular season and first multi-hit outing of the campaign. Through his first six games of the season, Basallo has held a modest .211/.286/.526 slash line with a 2:4 BB:K. The backstop has been exclusively deployed as a designated hitter as he works his way back from elbow inflammation. While he has not been as productive early on, this two-hit performance could spark a turnaround. Last summer, Basallo held a .276/.339/.447 line split between Double-A and Triple-A. The 20-year-old is considered one of the top prospects in the sport and should be in the mix for a second-half MLB debut.

Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Logan Henderson enjoyed a strong bounce-back in his second start. On Thursday, he tossed five shutout frames against the Gwinnett Stripers. He allowed just three hits and five walks. He struck out eight. In his first outing of the campaign, Henderson stumbled against Jacksonville, allowing six hits and five earned runs across five innings of work. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Henderson's progression as he could be in the mix to join Milwaukee given the extent of injuries in their starting rotation. Last season, Henderson spent most of his time at the Double-A level, where he logged 46 1/3 innings and held a 3.30 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, and a stellar 7:58 BB:K. If the 23-year-old continues to produce well at Triple-A, he could enter stash territory.
