San Francisco Giants DH Wilmer Flores had a big night in an 8-6 win over the Cincinnati Reds in 10 innings on Wednesday. Flores went 3-for-4 with a homer, two runs, and two RBI to help lead his team to the win. The veteran is off to a strong start in 2025, hitting .273 with five homers, seven runs, and 14 RBI over 44 at-bats. Flores had just four homers in 214 at-bats during the 2024 season. While his days of being a must-start fantasy option are over, he's worth a look in deeper leagues while he's swinging a hot bat.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich turned in a big game in a 17-2 blowout win over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. Yelich went 2-for-5 with a homer, two runs, two RBI, and a steal to help lead his team to the win. The veteran outfielder ripped a solo homer to center field as part of a seven-run ninth inning. Yelich is off to a quiet start in 2025, hitting just .171 with three homers, six runs, eight RBI, and three steals across 41 at-bats. Patience is key here as Yelich has a long track record of being a starting-caliber fantasy outfielder.

Cleveland Guardians first base prospect C.J. Kayfus went 4-for-5 with a double and a home run on Wednesday evening. This was his first round-tripper of the regular season. In this contest, he also tallied three RBI and scored three runs. Kayfus has enjoyed an impressive start to the Double-A season. Through the first five games, the former third-round pick from the 2023 MLB Draft has tallied at least one hit in each contest. He has posted four multi-hit games and tallied four total extra-base hits. He has also held a solid 3:4 BB:K. Last season, Kayfus split time between High-A and Double-A. With High-A Lake County, he enjoyed a strong start, posting a .338/.437/.578 line. However, he saw his production decline during his first taste of Double-A, holding a .263/.366/.470 line. He could push for a mid-season Triple-A debut if he continues to produce well with Akron.

St. Louis Cardinals infield prospect J.J. Wetherholt enjoyed a breakout game at Double-A on Wednesday evening. In this contest, Wetherholt went 3-for-5 with three RBI. He tallied one double. This was a much-needed breakout game for Wetherholt as he went 0-for-17 with a 1:4 BB:K through his first four games of the regular season. The Cardinals drafted Wetherholt with the seventh overall pick in last year's MLB Draft out of West Virginia. The 22-year-old received a brief look at Low-A following the draft. Across 29 games, he looked quite comfortable, posting a .295/.405/.400 slash line with a 16:15 BB:K. He swiped two bags and hit five doubles and two round-trippers. Fantasy managers should expect Wetherholt to spend most of the campaign with Double-A and push for a 2026 MLB debut.

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams went 1-for-5 with a solo homer and a stolen base in a 6-5 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Abrams hit a leadoff homer for the Nationals in the contest, a shot that traveled 379 feet with an exit velocity of 102.8 MPH. The veteran infielder is off to a productive start in 2025, hitting .250 with four homers, six runs, seven RBI, and three steals spanning 40 at-bats. Abrams has emerged as a quality power/speed fantasy asset over the past two seasons and continues to be a high-end option at the shortstop position moving forward.
