Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Demetrio Crisantes was busy during their contest against High-A Tri-City on Tuesday. Crisantes went 4-for-4 at the dish with a home run, three RBI, and a stolen base. This outing extended his current hitting streak to three games. Over his previous five games, Crisantes has begun to hit for power, as he hit two long balls and held an impressive .386/.364/.737 slash line. However, before this recent surge, Crisantes posted a modest .171/.354/.200 line with just one extra-base hit (a double) and five RBI. Last summer, the No. 2-ranked prospect in the Arizona system spent most of his campaign with Low-A. Fantasy managers should expect the 20-year-old to spend the majority of the 2025 season with High-A.

MLB.com's Anthony DiComo reports that if New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil (oblique) gets through his final minor-league rehab game on Wednesday without issue, he'll come off the 10-day injured list for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Washington Nationals. The two-time All-Star is working his way back from an oblique injury but is on the cusp of making his 2025 debut. In seven rehab games with Single-A St. Lucie, Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Syracuse, McNeil has gone 9-for-24 with two home runs, a double, two RBI, three walks and two strikeouts. While he hasn't looked like his former batting-champion self the last two years in New York, he's still fully expected to serve as New York's primary second baseman upon his return. That means that one of Brett Baty or Luisangel Acuna could be sent back to the minors this weekend.

St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Quinn Mathews (shoulder) is set to begin a throwing program on Wednesday or Thursday. Mathews was placed on the 7-day injured list with shoulder soreness. However, it appears this injury is not overly serious, and the top pitching prospect is already set to begin building back up. After an impressive 2024 campaign, Mathews took a step back through the early part of 2025 before his injury. Across his first 10 1/3 innings at Triple-A Springfield, the southpaw posted a 6.10 ERA with a 2.52 WHIP. He tallied just seven punchouts and served up 15 walks. However, last summer, across 143 1/3 innings split between Low-A, High-A, Double-A, and Triple-A, the No.2-ranked prospect in the system held a 2.76 ERA with a stellar 0.98 WHIP. If he can return to the mound soon, he should still be in the mix to make his MLB debut later this summer.

The Colorado Rockies have optioned outfield prospect Zac Veen to Triple-A Albuquerque. In a corresponding move, the team activated outfielder Brenton Doyle from the bereavement list. Veen has held a modest .118/.189/.235 slash line with one double and one home run across his first 12 games at the MLB level. Veen will look to find his footing at the top level of the minor leagues. During this brief taste of the majors, Veen generated an underwhelming .203 xwOBA with a .130 xBA. However, he did flash speed upside as he placed in the 81st percentile in sprint speed. Through 29 career games at Triple-A, the former ninth overall pick has held a .265/.336/.531 slash line with seven doubles, seven home runs, and seven stolen bases. He is worth monitoring in deeper formats, as he should be in the mix to return to Colorado later this season.

The Colorado Rockies have activated outfielder Brenton Doyle from the bereavement list. In a corresponding move, the Rockies designated outfielder Zac Veen to Triple-A Albuquerque. Doyle has been held out of the starting nine since April 10 due to a quadriceps injury, before hitting the bereavement list. However, he did take one at-bat on April 16. Before his injury, Doyle was enjoying an impressive start to the campaign, holding a .321/.357/.547 slash line with three doubles and three home runs. Doyle has swiped one bag and held a 10:3 K:BB. Under the hood, the 26-year-old has generated an impressive .318 xBA with an elite .391 xwOBA, which suggests he should continue to enjoy similar production this summer. He will likely return to the starting nine this evening when they continue a series against the Royals.
