Chicago Cubs right-handed pitching prospect Cade Horton logged six innings of work for the second-straight start on Sunday against Triple-A Buffalo. In this outing, the top pitching prospect in Chicago allowed just one run, two hits, and held a 5:1 K:BB. This was his second-straight start tossing at least six innings of work. Prior to this stretch, the former seventh overall pick logged just 17 innings of work over his first four starts of the season. Horton dealt with a shoulder injury last season and was only able to log 34 1/3 innings of work before being shut down. This is a great sign to see the top prospect return to form and increase his workload. With Justin Steele (elbow) ruled out of the season and Shota Imanaga (hamstring) in danger of missing time, fantasy managers should consider stashing Horton in standard leagues as he could be in contention to make his MLB debut very soon.


Tampa Bay Rays left-handed pitching prospect Ian Seymour struck out eight batters across five innings of two-run ball in his start on Sunday against Triple-A Jacksonville. In this outing, Seymour allowed just two hits, two runs (zero earned), and did not allow a free pass. This was the fourth time this season that the southpaw struck out at least eight batters in a given start. The Virginia Tech product has enjoyed an impressive start to the Triple-A regular season and is knocking on the MLB door. Through his first 36 1/3 innings of work, Seymour has struck out 46 batters, allowed just eight walks, and posted a strong 1.73 ERA with a 0.99 WHIP. Last summer at Triple-A, Seymour posted a 2.33 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP across 54 innings. Given his current production, he is worth stashing in deeper 12+ team formats due to his strikeout potential.



Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar has hit a bit of a slump at Triple-A. After riding an incredible 12-game hitting streak, the top prospect in the desert has gone 0-for-9 over his last two contests. During this slump, Lawlar has struck out once and has not drawn a walk. However, during his 12-game hitting streak, Lawlar was one of the most productive hitters in professional baseball as he held a .510/.576/.922 slash line with eight doubles, three home runs, and eight stolen bases. Through his first 31 games of the Triple-A regular season, the former sixth overall pick has held an impressive .357/.441/.643 slash line with 14 doubles and six home runs. Fantasy managers should continue to view Lawlar as a high-end priority stash option, as he should be in the mix to return to the major leagues in the coming weeks. When he does get the call, he will carry five-category upside.

Kansas City Royals first base prospect Jac Caglianone went 2-for-4 with a home run during their contest against Double-A Springfield. This was Caglianone's second-straight game going deep. Over his last nine contests, Caglianone has only gone hitless in one game. During this impressive stretch, the top prospect in Kansas City has held a .375/.459/.625 slash line with two doubles, two home runs, and eight RBI. Through his first 27 games at the Double-A level, last year's sixth overall pick has held his own, holding a .314/.395/.543 slash line with six doubles and six round-trippers. After being selected in the draft last season, Caglianone spent time at High-A. Seeing him steadily progress, he should be in the mix to reach the major leagues later this season.


St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Michael McGreevy was sharp in his 2025 MLB debut on Sunday evening. McGreevey was promoted to make a spot start for the Cardinals during a doubleheader on Sunday. In this outing, McGreevy tossed five 2/3 innings of one-hit ball against the New York Mets. He held a 5:1 K:BB and did not allow a run. McGreevy made his MLB debut last summer and performed quite well over his first taste of the majors as well, holding a 1.96 ERA with a 0.78 WHIP across 23 innings of work. However, during this stint, he struck out just 18 batters. Earlier this season, the No. 11-ranked prospect in the Cardinals system posted a 4.08 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP across 28 2/3 innings of work. Given his strong showing on Sunday, McGreevy may be given the opportunity to stay in St. Louis for the time being.
