The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled right-hander J.P. Feyereisen from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday and designated right-hander Yoendrys Gomez for assignment in a corresponding move, according to The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya. Feyereisen will give the Dodgers a fresh bullpen arm for the time being in the big leagues. The 32-year-old veteran began the year with the Arizona Diamondbacks but was cut after giving up three runs (two earned) while walking none and striking out two in two relief innings in the desert. He quickly latched on with the Dodgers to stay in the National League West after making 10 relief appearances with L.A. a year ago. In those 10 outings, he allowed 10 earned runs on 11 hits while walking five and striking out nine. There's nothing to see here for fantasy managers.

San Diego Padres infield prospect Leodalis De Vries is riding a five-game hitting streak at High-A. This streak was kick-started by a three-hit outing on April 29 against Dayton. During this stretch, the top prospect in San Diego has held a .553/.667/.867 slash line with two doubles, one home run, six RBI, six walks, and no strikeouts. The 18-year-old began the season at High-A and has looked quite comfortable through his first 22 contests at this level. Over this stretch, the No. 17-ranked prospect in the system has held an impressive .309/.400/.593 slash line with five doubles, three triples, four home runs, and three stolen bases. Last summer, De Vries spent his time at Low-A, where he held a .237/.361/.441 line. Given his current progression, he should be in the mix to join Double-A in the second half of the season.

Chicago Cubs catching prospect Moises Ballesteros has continued to swing a hot bat at Triple-A and is making a strong case for an early-season MLB debut. The 21-year-old saw his incredible 19-game hitting streak come to an end on May 4 when he went 0-for-3 with a walk. During his impressive hitting streak, the backstop posted a .447/.500/.671 slash line with five doubles and four long balls. He only struck out four times over this 21-game stretch. Through his first 28 games of the Triple-A regular season, the No.4-ranked prospect in the Cubs system has held a stellar .381/.437/.566 slash line with seven doubles, four home runs, and a 13:11 K:BB. Even though the Cubs do not have a clear spot for him on the MLB roster, with Carson Kelly swinging a hot bat behind the dish and Seiya Suzuki serving as the everyday DH, fantasy managers in deeper formats should consider stashing him as he could receive the call in the coming weeks.


The St. Louis Cardinals have optioned right-handed pitching prospect Michael McGreevy back to Triple-A Memphis. In a corresponding move, the Cardinals promoted right-handed pitcher Gordon Graceffo. McGreevy was promoted prior to Sunday's doubleheader against the New York Mets. He was deployed in a long relief role in Game 2 and looked quite sharp as he logged five 2/3 innings of one-hit ball. He served up just one walk and struck out five. McGreevy also performed well during his first taste of the major leagues in 2024, when he posted a 1.96 ERA and a 0.78 WHIP across 23 innings. During this stretch, he struck out 18 batters and held a near-perfect 2.3 percent walk rate. Fantasy managers should expect the No. 11-ranked prospect in the system to return to the majors later this summer.


Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Kirby Yates recorded his first save of the season in Monday's 7-4 victory over the Marlins. The 38-year-old is coming off a 33-save season for the Rangers in which he posted a 1.17 ERA and 0.83 WHIP, and while he is not the team's primary closer, the veteran has been effective nonetheless. The righty owns a 2.76 ERA (1.78 xFIP), 1.04 WHIP, and an elite 34.8 percent K-BB% in 16 1/3 IP, along with seven holds. The Dodgers' primary closer, southpaw Tanner Scott, came on in the eighth to put an end to a Marlin rally, getting power-hitting lefties Matt Mervis and Kyle Stowers to record the final two outs of the frame. Yates should continue to be in the mix for saves, but expect them to be unpredictable and infrequent. As evidenced by the aforementioned stats, though, the 2x All-Star can still be relevant for fantasy by improving ERA and WHIP while adding Ks.
