Kansas City Royals first base prospect Jac Caglianone continued his hot hitting on Wednesday for Double-A Northwest Arkansas, going 2-for-4 with a double for the second straight game. It was also the left-handed hitter's fourth consecutive multi-hit performance, upping his season slash line to .300/.373/.529 with four home runs, 20 RBI, 14 runs scored, and a stolen base. The 2024 first-round draft pick should continue to push for a promotion to Triple-A, and if he proves he can hit there, then don't be surprised to see him get a taste of the big leagues by season's end. The Royals' top prospect (MLB No. 20) has big-time power, graded at 70 per MLB.com's scouting report, and if he doesn't have a fantasy impact in 2025, then 2026 should be the year. Redraft managers may have to wait, but dynasty managers should have the 6-foot-5 slugger stashed away already.

New York Yankees minor-league pitcher Allan Winans fanned 10 of the first 11 batters he faced in Wednesday's start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The one batter he didn't strike out in that span drew a walk, and once he allowed a walk and a hit to the 12th and 13th batters, the righty was pulled from the game, finishing with the 10 Ks in three-and-two-thirds innings pitched. At 29 years old, he can hardly be considered a prospect anymore, but the 6-foot-2 hurler has just 40 major league innings to his name. Still, if the Yankees are looking for some help in the starting rotation, they could look to give Winans a shot. So far in his limited three-start sample in 2025, he has yet to allow an earned run on six hits and five walks while striking out 20 hitters in nine-and-a-third innings pitched. The strikeout potential is intriguing for fantasy, however, managers in most leagues would likely want to have him prove it in the majors before deciding to roster him, if he were to be called up at some point.

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Yanquiel Fernandez went 3-for-6 with two home runs, four RBI, and two runs scored on Wednesday for Triple-A Albuquerque. The two home runs put him atop the minor-league leaderboard with a total of seven home runs, tied with the Athletics' Nick Kurtz, who is now in the major leagues. Fernandez has come aliveover the last three games, going 7-for-13 (.538) with a double, four home runs, seven RBI, and five runs scored over that stretch. The 22-year-old owns a .254/.325/.592 slash line through 19 games, and with the Rockies currently with the worst record in baseball while averaging the third-lowest runs per game output, expect the team to see what they have in their sixth-ranked prospect at the major league level at somepoint this season, perhaps soonerthan later if he continues to rake. The left-handed slugger has big power that should play well at Coors, so fantasy managers should take notice whenever he gets the call.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Reese Olson earned his third win of the season on Wednesday, pitching 7 scoreless innings while striking out seven. He allowed just two hits and one walk. This was his second straight scoreless outing, and it lowered his ERA to 3.29 on the year. It was especially encouraging to see him record 22 outs on the night, as this was his fourth start of his career that has lasted seven innings or longer. He'll look to carry this momentum into his next start, currently lined up against the Astros.

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Andrew Heaney picked up the win and fired six scoreless innings against the Angels in a 3-0 victory on Wednesday. He struck out nine and only allowed one hit. This was his second straight scoreless outing, and his ERA on the season is now down to 1.72 with 31 strikeouts compared to only six walks in 31 innings pitched. He looked truly dominant in this start, inducing 24 whiffs on the night for an elite 46% whiff rate. However, it's hard to fully trust Heaney going forward, no matter how good he looks in any given start. He's shown flashes like this in every one of his more recent seasons, and still finished with an ERA above 4.00 in 2024 and 2023.
