Miami Marlins rookie catcher Agustin Ramirez has burst on the MLB scene in his first few games this week, but he'll get the day off for Wednesday's series finale against the Cincinnati Reds at loanDepot Park. Liam Hicks is doing the catching for right-hander Sandy Alcantara and will bat seventh against Reds right-hander Brady Singer. In his first two major-league games, Ramirez has come out swinging, going 5-for-6 with three doubles, an RBI, stolen base, run scored, two walks and no strikeouts. It will be impossible for the 23-year-old backstop to keep that kind of pace up, but he has quickly earned considerable playing time for the lowly Marlins alongside Hicks. Hicks is also in his rookie season with Miami and has slashed .239/.321/.348 with a .669 OPS, one homer, two doubles, 11 RBI and five runs scored in his first 17 games played.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter is sitting out of Wednesday's series finale against the visiting San Diego Padres. Carpenter missed the first game of the series on Monday due to a minor hamstring injury, but he returned in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to go 0-for-4. With a scheduled day off on Thursday, fantasy managers should expect Carpenter to return to the starting lineup for Friday's series opener in Detroit against the Baltimore Orioles. His 0-for-4 performance on Tuesday dropped his season average just under .300, and he's been very productive for fantasy managers with five home runs, three doubles, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored in his 23 games played early on. Justyn-Henry Malloy is serving as the designated hitter and is batting leadoff on Wednesday against Padres left-hander Kyle Hart. Malloy is only hitting .182 (8-for-44) with no homers this year, but there's some deep-sleeper appeal here in DFS.

Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Alex Pham enjoyed one of the best starts of his professional career on Tuesday evening against Double-A Altoona. In this outing, the right-hander tossed five 1/3 innings of one-run ball. He allowed just three hits, no walks, and struck out an impressive 11 batters. The former 19th-round pick has flashed high strikeout upside through the early part of the Double-A regular season. Across his first 19 innings of work (four starts), the University of San Francisco product has struck out 29 batters and served up just seven free passes. Last summer, Pham spent his entire time with Double-A Bowie and tallied 138 punchouts across 119 innings in which he held a 4.24 ERA. Fantasy managers should expect Pham to receive a promotion to Triple-A later this season.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Brendan Donovan (rib) is out of the lineup for a second straight day for Wednesday's series finale against the hosting Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. Nolan Gorman is starting at second base again and is hitting third against Braves right-hander Bryce Elder. Donovan is dealing with a rib that popped out of place on Tuesday morning, but he's being considered day-to-day and isn't expected to need to be placed on the injured list. With a scheduled day off on Thursday, fantasy managers will be hoping that the hot-hitting 28-year-old will be ready for Friday's series opener at home against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers. Donovan has been one of the best hitters in the early going in 2025, batting .356 (32-for-90) with three homers, 13 RBI, 14 runs scored and three stolen bases in his first 23 games. Gorman has hit a pedestrian .250 with a homer and seven RBI in his 36 at-bats.

St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Michael McGreevy tossed six innings of one-run ball en route to earning his third victory of the season on Tuesday evening against the Norfolk Tides. In this outing, McGreevy allowed six hits and no walks. He struck out five. This was a nice bounce-back outing for the former 18th overall pick, as he allowed three runs in his last start. Across his first five starts of the Triple-A regular season (25 innings), the right-hander has posted a 3.60 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP. He has held a strong 21:4 K:BB and allowed just three home runs. Last summer, the 24-year-old made his MLB debut and posted a solid 1.96 ERA with a 0.78 WHIP across his first 23 innings. Fantasy managers should expect McGreevy to join St. Louis in the coming weeks if he continues to perform well at Triple-A.
