Los Angeles Dodgers catching prospect Dalton Rushing went 2-for-3 witha walk and a home run for Triple-A OklahomaCity on Wednesday, collecting two RBI and scoring once in the process. The Dodgers' top prospect has now hit safely in eight of his last nine games, and is slashing .323/.435/.527 thanks in part to four home runs and a strong 15.3 percent walk rate. The 24-year-old continues to make his push for a big league debut, and although he is a catcher by trade, the team has had him play first base and some outfield so far this season in an effort to create multiple paths to playing time. Look for a call-up in June sometime, and those in NL-only and two-catcher leagues should consider stashing MLB's 26th-ranked prospect for his potential power production in a potent L.A. lineup, who carries eligibility at C and OF on Yahoo!.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Michael Wacha pitched seven shutout innings and earned his second win of the season in Wednesday's 2-1 victory over the White Sox. He allowed three hits and one walk while striking out five. The 33-year-old veteran has been solid as of late, as this was his sixth straight start of at least five innings while allowing three runs or less. He won't blow away hitters with his stuff, but he has gotten the job done to the tune of a 2.98 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 34 strikeouts in 45 innings so far in 2025. He'll look to keep the momentum going in his next start, set to be against the Astros in Houston.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Cristopher Sanchez was dominant on Wednesday, pitching six shutout innings and earning the win in a 7-0 victory against the Rays. He allowed one hit and three walks while striking out five. He's only allowed more than two runs in a start one time all season, and he now holds a 2.89 ERA with 44 strikeouts in 37 1/3 innings. Although he didn't strike out many batters in this start, he limited the damage by inducing ground balls. This isn't anything new for the left-hander, whose 58.3% ground ball rate in 2024 ranked in the top five percent of the league. He'll look to keep things going in his next outing, which is currently lined up to be against the Cardinals.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Framber Valdez got back on track Wednesday, holding the Milwaukee Brewers to one run over seven innings of work and picking up his second win in a 9-1 victory. Valdez scattered three hits and two walks while striking out seven in this one. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride for Valdez and his fantasy managers this season, as he has followed up dominant starts with mediocre or even downright terrible ones multiple times. He now sits at 2-4 with a 3.94 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 44 strikeouts over 48 IP. Hopefully, this performance is the first of many in a row. With his high upside, Valdez is still a must-start pitcher in all formats, regardless of his potential for a blow-up. His next outing should come next Tuesday at home against the Kansas City Royals, a team he just went eight strong innings against a few weeks ago.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray was at his best on Wednesday, hurling seven sparkling frames in a 5-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Gray didn't allow a run in this one, and limited the Pirates to just two hits and a walk while punching out eight. Although the 35-year-old veteran has had a few bumps in the road, it has mostly been a solid season for him. Gray now owns a 4-1 record with a 3.50 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 47 strikeouts over 46 IP. The righty should remain a mainstay in fantasy lineups as long as he is healthy, but the occasional rough start should be expected. His next matchup is scheduled for next Tuesday in Philadelphia, and he should be started regardless of the tough opponent.
