San Francisco Giants pitching prospect Carson Whisenhunt looked sharp in his latest outing on Saturday. In this outing, Whisenhunt tossed six shutout innings against Triple-A Salt Lake. In this start, Whisenhunt allowed just one hit and one walk. He struck out nine batters. This was a much-needed bounce-back for the southpaw as he allowed eight hits and four runs across three 1/3 innings against Tacoma. Through his first four outings of the Triple-A regular season, Whisenhunt has held a solid 2.70 ERA with a 0.95 WHIP. Across 20 innings, he has struck out 23 batters and shown elite control, allowing just two free passes. This is an excellent improvement for the former 66th overall pick as he held a 5.42 ERA with a 1.61 WHIP across his first 104 2/3 innings at Triple-A last summer. He should contend for his MLB debut later this season.


Cleveland Guardians first baseman Kyle Manzardo went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning win against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 24-year-old started at first base for the fourth time this season, hit his sixth long ball, and drove in his 16th run. On the season, he is now slashing .212/.321/.545. The power and slugging numbers are certainly there for Manzardo, but the average is falling close to the Mendoza Line, so fantasy managers hope to see more consistency from him down the stretch. The four starts at first base will undoubtedly help his eligibility in fantasy baseball and provide managers who roster him more flexibility with their lineup once he reaches the threshold of 10 starts at first base. Next for the Guardians is a three-game series against the New York Yankees.

San Francisco Giants catcher Sam Huff had a good afternoon on Sunday as he went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, two RBI, one run scored, and a walk in the Giants' 5-4 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. The home run was his first of the season, as he has now improved his slash line to .190/.292/.333 in 24 plate appearances. The RBI and run scored were also his first of the season. Huff has spent the last few seasons with the Texas Rangers and has seen limited playing time with only 45 plate appearances in 2023 and four in 2024. The Giants have brought him in to be the backup to Patrick Bailey. So, unless an injury to Bailey occurs or we see Huff getting more consistent playing time, fantasy managers can keep Huff on the waiver wire for now.


On Friday, Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto was reinstated from the injured list and hit his first home run of the 2025 campaign in the fifth inning on Sunday against future Hall-of-Famer Justin Verlander in the Angels' 5-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants. Neto finished his afternoon by going 1-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored, and he helped the Angels complete their ninth-inning comeback by scoring the winning run on Sunday. The home run was an excellent sign for Neto, as he hit 23 home runs in 2024, a career high for him at the MLB level and a vast improvement from the nine he hit in 2023, his rookie season. Up next for the Angels is an off day on Monday before a three-game series at home against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

San Diego Padres superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. continues his MVP-caliber start to his 2025 campaign, hitting his eighth home run on Sunday evening. On the evening, he finished the game going 2-for-4 with a home run, three runs scored, one RBI, and one walk. Contributing to all three of the runs the Padres scored as they avoided the sweep on Sunday Night Baseball against the Houston Astros, winning 3-2. On the season, Tatis is now slashing .358/.436/.691 with eight home runs, 22 runs scored, 16 RBI, and seven stolen bases. Up next for the Tatis and the Padres is a three-game series in Detroit to take on the Tigers before they head home on Friday to host the Tampa Bay Rays. Tatis remains one of, if not the best, outfielders in fantasy baseball, so managers can certainly continue to lock him into their lineups without hesitation.
