Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a solo shot during their victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday evening. Raleigh would hit the long ball off Cincinnati reliever Emilio Pagan. Over his last six games, Raleigh has enjoyed an incredible power surge, hitting six long balls over this span. On Wednesday, Raleigh hit two home runs. Before this recent hot stretch, the switch-hitting catcher held a modest .184/.286/.347 slash line with two home runs across his first 13 contests. Through the early part of the campaign, the 28-year-old catcher has generated an elite .395 xwOBA with a 25.0 percent barrel rate, which has placed him in the 87th and 100th percentile, respectively. Raleigh should continue to be viewed as a high-end No. 1 catcher in all leagues given his elite power upside.

New York Mets infield prospect Jett Williams went 2-for-5 with a home run and a stolen base during their contest on Thursday against Double-A Reading. This outing extended Williams' current hitting streak to three games. Through his first 10 games of the Double-A campaign, Williams has tallied at least one hit in all but two games. He has gone deep twice and swiped two bags, and posted an overall .256/.310/.487 line. Last season, the former 14th overall pick was limited by numerous injuries, appearing in only 33 MiLB games. During this small sample, he spent most of his time with Double-A Binghamton and held an underwhelming .172/.287/.241 line. However, Williams has already begun to turn the corner at Double-A early this season. If he continues to perform, he should be in the mix to move up to Triple-A in the coming months.

Miami Marlins catching prospect Agustin Ramirez went 2-for-5 with his third home run of the Triple-A regular season on Thursday against Triple-A Memphis. Ramirez has enjoyed a strong start to the season and is nearing his MLB debut. Through 17 contests, the backstop has posted a .274/.338/.532 slash line with three home runs and five stolen bases. Ramirez was one of the prospects included in the Jazz Chisholm Jr. trade last summer. He enjoyed similar success at Triple-A last season, holding a .246/.345/.411 line with nine home runs and nine stolen bases. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on Ramirez's progression with Jacksonville, as he could push for an early MLB debut given his previous experience and success at Triple-A.


Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar continues to flash elite power at Triple-A and is nearing a return to the major leagues. On Thursday evening, the top prospect in the desert went 2-for-4 with a long ball. This was his third home run over the past four games. Over his previous seven contests, the former sixth overall pick has posted a stellar .385/.448/.962 slash line with three doubles and four home runs. Through the first 18 games of the Triple-A regular season, Lawlar has posted an impressive .300/.395/.557 line. The 22-year-old made his MLB debut in 2023 but was unable to return to the majors in 2024 due to numerous injuries. However, Lawlar has returned to full strength and is showcasing his elite five-category upside. He should be viewed as a strong stash candidate in all formats with Ketel Marte (hamstring) still on the injured list.

Los Angeles Angels pitching prospect Caden Dana tossed seven shutout innings in his latest outing on Thursday against Triple-A Sacramento. In this start, Dana allowed just four hits and no walks. He struck out seven batters. Through his first three starts of the Triple-A campaign, Dana has enjoyed an impressive start, holding a 1.13 ERA with a 1.06 WHIP across 16 innings of work. He has tallied 20 punchouts and allowed just five walks. He was given a brief promotion to Los Angeles earlier in April but only made one appearance out of the bullpen. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression with Triple-A Salt Lake, as he should be in the mix to not only return to the majors but operate out of the starting rotation.
