Chicago White Sox catching prospect Kyle Teel hit a solo home run in a 1-for-5 day at the plate for Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday, his third of the season. After a solid opening weekend to begin the year, the left-handed hitter went into a 3-for-37 (.081) cold stretch, but has shown signs of coming out of the slump recently, now having collected at least one hit in five straight contests. The former first-round draft pick is slashing .214/.321/.414 with three home runs and an 11:25 BB:K through 19 games overall. Teel is expected to make his big league debut this season, but with the White Sox recently promoting fellow backstop Edgar Quero to the big league club, it looks like Teel will have to wait a bit longer. The 23-year-old has long-term fantasy value, but for 2025 fantasy leagues, managers may want to see how things shake out in terms of playing time before trying to stash him away.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown shut down the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, tossing seven scoreless frames in a 7-0 win. Brown dominated in this one, allowing just two hits and a walk while striking out nine. It appears to be a breakout season for the 26-year-old, who now has a 1.16 ERA and 0.74 WHIP with 31 strikeouts over 31 innings. He has quality starts in each of his five outings and has been able to limit hard contact while generating a solid amount of whiffs this season. His fantasy managers should be excited about his potential, even if his numbers will likely regress slightly. He is a must-start pitcher in every format.

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor had a huge game on Monday, going 2-for-3 with two homers and four RBI in a 5-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Lindor also walked and scored twice to round out his line. After an ice-cold start to his season, the 31-year-old has completely returned to form over the past few weeks. His season numbers look like normal Lindor numbers as well, with a .284 AVG and .840 OPS to go along with 16 runs, five homers, 13 RBI, and two swipes. He is a five-category contributor and one of the best players in fantasy.

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy hit a clutch three-run home run in the eighth inning of Monday's 7-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. At the time, the homer gave the Braves a 7-3 lead. They were fortunate that Murphy gave them that insurance since the Cards roared back in the ninth. Murphy finished the day 1-for-4 with the key homer, continuing his all-or-nothing trend (five homers, three singles). After coming off the IL hot, the 30-year-old was slumping coming into this one, going 1-for-13 with seven strikeouts over his last four. Murphy tends to run hot and cold, and his fantasy managers should be aware of this and not overreact to a cold stretch.

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez had a debut to remember, going 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run scored, and a stolen base in a 6-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds. First game? Check. First hit? Check. First steal? Check. First win? Check. It couldn't have gone much better for the Marlins' No. 4 prospect, who has a very good shot at getting some playing time if he keeps up the strong play. Ramirez hit .267 with a .845 OPS while smacking 25 homers and swiping 22 bags in the minors last year, so his upside is a five-category contributor at a position that doesn't have many like that. He's worth an add for anyone who isn't set at the catcher position.
