Houston Astros infield prospect Shay Whitcomb posted his second-straight multi-hit game on Sunday against Triple-A Salt Lake. In this game, Whitcomb went 2-for-4 with a home run and a stolen base. Over his last nine contests, the No. 17-ranked prospect in the system has held a .316/.366/.553 slash line with three home runs, a 10:2 K:BB, and a stolen base. Whitcomb made his MLB debut last summer but only appeared in 20 games. During this brief taste, the 26-year-old held a .220/.304/.293 line with just three doubles. Through 38 games at Triple-A this season, Whitcomb has posted a solid .259/.341/.531 line with 13 doubles, nine round-trippers, and three swiped bags. Given his steady play at the top level of the minor leagues, Whitcomb should be in the mix to join Houston later this season.

Atlanta Braves left-hander Chris Sale (1-3) was cruising through the Pittsburgh Pirates' offense until he gave up three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. He then proceeded to go out for the sixth inning and was pulled after getting two outs and left the game down 3-0. The Braves stormed back in the top of the eighth inning with three runs to get Sale off the hook for his fourth loss of the season. The Braves would eventually fall 4-3. Sale struck out eight batters, allowed two walks, eight hits, and two earned runs in his five 5 2/3 innings of work. Sale has lowered his season ERA to 3.97 after a tough start to the 2025 campaign. Sale has been racking up the strikeouts at an elite clip (12.08 K/9), and remains a must-start in all formats. Next is a trip to Fenway to take on the Boston Red Sox on Friday night.

Texas Rangers' young outfielder Evan Carter had a nice afternoon on Sunday, as he went 2-for-5 with one run scored, one RBI, and a stolen base. The stolen base was his first of the season, and something to keep an eye on as Carter swiped 26 bases in the MiLB in 2023, and six in his 21 games played in Triple-A in 2025. Since getting promoted to the MLB on May 6, Carter has slashed .273/.273/.409 in 22 plate appearances. This is encouraging for Carter and those who own him in dynasty formats, as his rookie campaign showed much promise in 2023, when he slashed .306/.413/.645 in 75 plate appearances. 2024 was a different story (.188/.272/.361), and he started 2025 in Triple-A. Carter will look to continue his nice seven-day stretch as the Rangers head home to take on the Colorado Rockies in a three-game series.

New York Mets right-hander Griffin Canning (5-1) was solid on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs. Although he walked away from this contest with a no-decision, he went six innings, allowed two hits, one run, and struck out five. His only blemish came on a Pete Crow-Armstrong solo home run in the sixth inning that erased the Mets' 1-0 lead. Nonetheless, Canning continues his stellar season with the Mets, as he now owns an impressive 2.36 ERA in 2025 with 42 innings pitched, and a solid 9.00 K/9 with his new team. Next up for Canning is a tough matchup on the road in the Bronx to take on the New York Yankees. Fantasy Managers may want to plan for some regression with Canning down the stretch, but ride the hot streak that he's on thus far.

New York Yankees first baseman Ben Rice came up in the fifth inning with the bases loaded and two outs and smacked his ninth home run of the 2025 campaign. The Yankees' offense enjoyed playing at Sutter Health Park this past series, scoring 10 or more runs in all three games. Rice continues his breakout campaign in 2025, now slashing .260/.368/.569 with nine home runs, 25 runs scored, and 20 RBI to go along with two stolen bases. Although he has cooled off a bit from his red-hot start, Rice remains batting at the top of one of the most potent lineups in the MLB and remains a strong start in all formats. Next for Rice and the Yankees is a three-game series in Seattle to take on the Mariners starting Monday.
