Tampa Bay Rays shortstop prospect Carson Williams went 2-for-5 with two home runs and a stolen base during their contest against Triple-A Gwinnett. This was a much-needed breakout game for Williams, as he has struggled during his first extended look at Triple-A. Through 32 games this season with the Durham Bulls, the No. 8-ranked prospect in the sport according to MLB Pipeline, has held a modest .185/.313/.398 slash line with four doubles, two triples, five home runs, and six stolen bases. However, over his last four games, it appears Williams is beginning to turn the corner as he has gone deep three times and held a .263/.417/.789 line. Last summer, the top-ranked prospect in Tampa Bay spent the entire campaign at Double-A. If he continues to progress at Triple-A, Williams could push for a second-half MLB debut.

Athletics left-handed pitching prospect Gage Jump continued his impressive stretch at High-A on Wednesday evening. In this start against West Michigan, Jump tossed eight innings of one-run ball. He allowed just four hits and no walks. He struck out eight. Over his last 19 2/3 innings of work (three starts), Jump has struck out an impressive 28 batters while allowing just eight hits, one run, and no walks. However, over his first 11 1/3 innings this season (three starts), the southpaw held a 17:5 K:BB with a 6.53 ERA and a 1.59 WHIP. The A's drafted Jump with the 73rd overall pick in last year's MLB Draft out of LSU. Fantasy managers should expect Jump to get the call to Double-A if he continues to impress at High-A.

Toronto Blue Jays second base prospect Adrian Pinto went 3-for-4 with one double, two home runs, three runs, three RBI, and a walk on Wednesday evening against High-A Spokane. This was Pinto's second-straight contest going deep. Over his past seven games, the No. 22-ranked prospect in the Toronto system has begun to heat up at the plate, posting an impressive .333/.379/.926 slash line with one double and five long balls. Prior to this power surge, the 22-year-old held a modest .231/.348/.436 slash line with just two long balls over the first 10 games of the campaign. Last season, Pinto earned a brief taste of the High-A level where he held a .200 AVG with three home runs across 17 games. Fantasy managers should expect Pinto to spend most of the 2025 campaign with High-A Vancouver.


Detroit Tigers right-handed pitching prospect Jackson Jobe allowed eight hits and six earned runs during Wednesday's contest against the Colorado Rockies. Jobe struck out just two batters and allowed one walk. Most of Jobe's damage came against the long ball. He allowed his first round-tripper in the opening frame to third baseman Ryan McMahon, which was a two-run shot. Later in the third, Michael Toglia would also hit a two-run shot. The top prospect has struggled during his first extended stint in the major leagues. Across his first 27 2/3 innings in the Detroit starting rotation, the former third overall pick has posted a 4.88 ERA with a high 1.48 WHIP. He has held a 20:15 K:BB and allowed five home runs. Given his weak command, fantasy managers in shallower formats should not consider starting Jobe for the time being. He is lined up to face the Boston Red Sox next week.


Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman hit his ninth home run of the season and helped power the Red Sox past the Rangers on Wednesday night by a score of 6-4. Bregman went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI in the contest. It was his 200th career home run, and he now has a .274 career batting average and .366 career wOBA through 4,999 regular-season plate appearances. This year, he is hitting .327 in his first year in Boston with a .434 wOBA, 30 RBI, and a 49.2% hard-hit rate, per Statcast. He has been an elite offensive option at the hot corner and has lived up to the big offseason contract he signed through his first 37 games with the Red Sox.
