Chicago White Sox shortstop prospect Colson Montgomery was able to snap his skid with a two-hit outing on Sunday afternoon. Montgomery hit his second long ball of the Triple-A regular season in this outing, which was his first since the season opener. Over his last 11 games leading up to Sunday, Montgomery posted an underwhelming .075/.178/.075 slash line with just three total hits (all singles) and one RBI. Montgomery will look to carry Sunday's momentum into the next week. The former 22nd overall pick was competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster during spring training but fell just short in the competition. Last season, he spent the entire campaign with Triple-A Charlotte and held a modest .214/.329/.381 line. If he continues to improve with Triple-A, he could push for a midseason MLB debut.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder TJ Friedl went 1-for-4 with a double, two runs scored, and one RBI in Sunday's 4-0 home win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 29-year-old is up to a .254 average now (15-for-59), with two doubles, one home run, six RBI and 11 runs scored. Friedl was limited to 85 games in 2024 after thumb, wrist, and hamstring injuries forced him to the IL on three separate occasions. He's been better so far this season, and statcast thinks he's underperforming. The California native has already swiped two bags -- seven off his total of nine last year -- and holds a .273 xBA. Perhaps more encouraging, Friedl's strikeout rate has dropped for the second straight season to 13.8%, presenting as a career-low if it holds.

Tampa Bay Rays pitching prospect Santiago Suarez enjoyed a strong rebound outing in his second start of the campaign on Sunday afternoon. After allowing three hits, two walks, and three runs during his first start of the High-A campaign, Suarez flipped the script in his second start. In this outing, Suarez kept High-A Rome off the scoresheet across four 1/3 innings of work. He allowed just one hit with no walks and struck out five batters. Last summer, Suarez spent the entire campaign with Low-A Charleston and posted a modest 4.11 ERA with a 1.11 WHIP. During this stint, he tallied 115 punchouts and showed strong control, allowing just 21 free passes. Fantasy managers should expect the 20-year-old to spend most of the campaign with High-A Bowling Green.

Chicago Cubs reliever Porter Hodge punched out two batters during his one inning of work in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Hodge hadn't been summoned to pitch since last Tuesday, but he was excellent -- firing 11-of-14 pitches for strikes and snagging his fifth hold of 2025. The 24-year-old holds a strong 2.25 ERA with 11 strikeouts and three walks over his first eight innings of work. He was superb for the Cubs in his first big-league action last year and has improved overall in the early going of this season. The righty is fanning 33.3% of the batters he's faced, and his fastball is garnering a whiff 35.5% of the time. He should be a strong source of ERA and WHIP and would project to step into the closer role if teammate Ryan Pressly ever missed time.

Miami Marlins pitching prospect Adam Mazur continued his strong start to the campaign on Sunday afternoon. In this outing, Mazur logged four 1/3 shutout innings. He struck out five batters and allowed just two hits. Since allowing two runs in his first start of the season, Mazur has logged nine 1/3 shutout frames. During these two starts, he has struck out 10 batters and allowed just five hits and one walk. This is a great sign for Mazur as he struggled to find much success at the Triple-A level last summer. Across 61 innings split between El Paso and Jacksonville, Mazur held a high 6.20 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP. During this stint, he struck out just 60 batters. He also received a brief taste of the majors last season, but posted a 7.49 ERA. He should be in the mix to join the Miami rotation later this season.
