Baltimore Orioles outfielder Heston Kjerstad turned in a productive game in a 6-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday. Kjerstad went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer and a walk in the winning effort. The 26-year-old outfielder plated the final two runs of the game with a 400-foot two-run homer off Cleveland starter Tanner Bibee in the sixth inning. Kjerstad is now hitting .233 with two homers, eight runs, and 10 RBI across 43 at-bats in the first month of the season.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony went 2-for-4 with two home runs during Thursday's game against Triple-A Rochester. This was his fourth multi-hit outing over his last five contests. During this impressive five-game stretch, the top prospect in the sport has held a strong .474/.565/.895 line with eight RBI and five runs. The 20-year-old was in the mix to make the Opening Day roster but was sent to Triple-A Worcester to put the final touches on his development. Through 15 games at Triple-A this season, Anthony has held a .283/.433/.585 line with two doubles and four long balls. Last summer, Anthony received his first look at Triple-A and posted an impressive .344/.463/.519 line with three home runs and five stolen bases across 35 games. He is a strong stash candidate as he is nearing his MLB debut.

Detroit Tigers DH Spencer Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a double, a run, three RBI, and a walk in a 6-1 win over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. Torkelson plated the first runs of the game with a two-run double in the bottom of the third inning and later came back to add an RBI single in the eighth inning. Torkelson is off to a good start in 2025, hitting .286 with six homers, six doubles, 15 runs, 16 RBI, and a stolen base across 70 at-bats. He remains a solid corner infielder in all fantasy leagues.

Philadelphia Phillies outfield prospect Justin Crawford went 4-for-5 with two stolen bases during Thursday's contest against Triple-A Gwinnett. All of Crawford's hits were singles. After spending the 2024 campaign split between High-A and Double-A, Crawford was able to begin the 2025 season with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Through his first 16 games at Triple-A, Crawford has held a strong .290/.338/.362 slash line with one double, two triples, seven stolen bases, and a 5:13 BB:K. Last summer at Double-A, Crawford flashed high power upside as he held a .333/.380/.455 line with 11 doubles and three round-trippers across 40 games. Fantasy managers should expect the former 17th overall pick to be in the mix for his MLB debut in the second half. When he does get the call, he will have value in category leagues given his elite speed.

New York Mets right-hander Griffin Canning tossed a gem in a 4-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. Canning threw six innings of one-run ball while striking out eight, walking two, and scattering three hits to earn the win. The veteran right-hander generated 16 swinging strikes in the start to improve his record to 2-1, to go along with a 3.43 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 21 strikeouts over 21 innings of work. After posting a 5.19 ERA with the Los Angeles Angels last season, Canning is enjoying his move to the National League thus far. He will have a tougher test against the Philadelphia Phillies in his next start, which is set for Tuesday.
