His performance anchored the Washington Nationals’ offense in their 6-4 win over the New York Mets. The young first baseman showcased his raw power and plate discipline, capitalizing on mistakes to clear the fences twice. Chaparro’s ability to drive the ball consistently makes him a key prospect to watch as he continues to develop in the Nationals system.

Jonny DeLuca exploded for two home runs in a 2-4 day with two RBI and two runs scored. His power surge came in a losing effort as the Tampa Bay Rays fell 7-3 to the Philadelphia Phillies. DeLuca continues to flash plus power from the outfield, showing the ability to change games with one swing. Despite the defeat, his multi-homer performance highlighted his upside as a center fielder with speed and pop in the Rays organization.

Yusei Kikuchi took the loss after allowing three earned runs over five innings with seven strikeouts and one walk. The Angels fell 7-3 to the Seattle Mariners in the contest. Kikuchi showed swing-and-miss stuff but was hurt by hard contact and a hit batter. His ability to miss bats remains a strength, though command and run prevention will need refinement moving forward in the Angels rotation.

Austin Peterson suffered the loss in relief after tossing five innings and allowing two earned runs with five strikeouts and two walks. The Cleveland Guardians dropped a 3-2 decision to the Kansas City Royals. Peterson kept the ball in the yard for the most part but surrendered two long balls that proved costly. His strikeout ability offers promise as he looks to stabilize the Guardians pitching staff.

Andy Pages went 1-3 with a home run, a walk and four RBI in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 5-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants. His three-run blast provided the bulk of the offense in a solid team win. Pages continues to demonstrate his combination of power and plate discipline, making him one of the more exciting young outfielders in the Dodgers system as he matures at the big-league level.

Anthony Kay earned the win after allowing one earned run over five innings with four strikeouts and two walks. The Chicago White Sox defeated the Colorado Rockies 4-2 behind his solid start. Kay mixed his pitches effectively and limited damage, helping stabilize the White Sox rotation in a tight contest. His ability to induce weak contact and keep runners off base was key to the victory.

Leo Bernal went 1-2 with a home run, two walks and three RBI as the St. Louis Cardinals fell 6-4 to the Milwaukee Brewers. His three-run homer provided a bright spot in an otherwise tough loss. Bernal’s patient approach and power from the catcher position continue to stand out, giving the Cardinals a promising young backstop with offensive upside in their farm system.

Christian Walker went 2-3 with a home run, two walks and three runs scored in the Houston Astros’ 9-0 shutout of the Athletics. His offensive contributions helped set the tone in a dominant team victory. Walker continues to display strong plate discipline and power, making him a reliable presence at first base for the Astros as they push for success in the standings.

Michael Soroka allowed three earned runs over 4.2 innings with four strikeouts and two walks as the Arizona Diamondbacks lost 9-4 to the San Diego Padres. Soroka battled through traffic but gave up key extra-base hits that opened the door for the Padres. His pitch mix showed promise, but limiting hard contact remains an area for growth in the Diamondbacks rotation.

Heriberto Hernández collected two hits including a double and a home run in the Miami Marlins’ 5-3 win over the Atlanta Braves. His multi-hit performance added valuable production from the outfield in a close contest. Hernández continues to flash extra-base power and solid contact skills, positioning himself as an intriguing prospect in the Marlins system with room to grow.
