Joey Loperfido Hits Sixth Long Ball Of The Season

Houston Astros outfield prospect Joey Loperfido launched his sixth home run of the season in the third inning on Thursday. He then hit an RBI double in the fifth, increasing the Sugar Land lead. The sixth overall prospect in the Houston system is riding a .289/.358/.711 stat line through the first 11 games of the season. With his dominance at the Triple-A level, Loperfido should be in consideration to make his major league debut sooner rather than later making him a must-stash in AL-only and deeper formats. When he receives the call, he will see time in center field, which is currently occupied by Jake Meyers, or slide over could slider over to first base and relieve Jose Abreu.

Jacob Wilson Tallies Six RBI In Thursday’s Victory

Oakland Athletics shortstop prospect Jacob Wilson went 4-for-5 with six RBI to power the Midland Rock Hounds over the Amarillo Sod Poodles on Thursday. Wilson knocked a leadoff single in the first inning and then proceeded to swipe second and third base but was unable to score. In the second, he laced an RBI single, which scored Junior Perez. Wilson continued to swing a hot bat as he knocked an RBI double in the fourth inning, which at the time evened the score. He stole third base shortly after. To cap off a monster day at the plate, Wilson launched a grand slam in the eighth inning, which put Midland in the driver's seat. This was only Wilson's fifth game at Double-A. With this recent performance, a promotion to Triple-A later in the summer may not be out of the question, making him an interesting player to stash in dynasty formats.

Alec Bohm Cracks First Homer Of 2024

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm had a nice game on Thursday, going 2-for-3 and hitting his first homer of the season in a 5-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bohm had been struggling a bit to start the year, but with the big performance, he is now up to a .267 AVG and .787 OPS, showing how early we still are in the season. There is no reason to panic yet with the 27-year-old, who should be a solid four-category contributor.

Brandon Marsh Continues Hot Start

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh had another good day at the plate on Thursday in a 5-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Marsh went 1-for-3 with his fourth homer of the young season and added a run and two RBI to his line as well. The 26-year-old appears to be finding his groove fourth MLB season, as he is slashing a strong .333/.357/.641 with six runs, four homers, nine RBI, and a steal. He doesn't play every day, but if he continues to hit he might force the Phillies hand. Marsh has some upside and is a decent option in fantasy leagues, especially those with five outfielder spots to fill.

Jose Quintana Turns In Solid Effort In Win

New York Mets starting pitcher Jose Quintana earned his first win of the season on Thursday in a 16-4 blowout over the Atlanta Braves. Quintana threw 5 innings of three-run ball, which was good enough with the Mets jumping on the Braves early in this one. He allowed five hits and two walks while striking out four. The veteran lefty has been serviceable so far this season, pitching to a 3.45 ERA and 1.53 WHIP with 12 strikeouts in 15 IP. He is likely better kept on the waiver wire, but he is a solid streaming option when he has a good matchup.
