Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Connor Prieplipp was handed the loss on Saturday, but still looked like a fantasy star in the making. In his fifth MLB start, Prielipp went six innings, allowing two runs (one earned), three hits, two walks, and striking out eight. The rookie now has a 1-2 record with 29 strikeouts, a 2.88 ERA, and 0.96 WHIP. With starters Mick Abel (elbow/triceps) and Taj Bradley (pectoral) still on the injured list, Prielipp's spot in Minnesota's rotation is secure for the time being. The Twins are going to be careful with their fifth-ranked prospect, as the 25-year-old peaked at 82.2 IP in the minors last season, and his May 16 start was only the second time he has lasted six innings. Still, the youngster offers plenty of strikeout potential on a slider-fastball combo that generated a 13.0% swinging strike rate in Triple-A this season before his promotion.

Los Angeles Angels Reliever Ryan Zeferjahn is looking like the favorite for ninth-inning duties as of late. The 28-year-old locked up the Halos' most recent save back on May 5, and has been one of the team's only effective arms out of the bullpen this season. Zeferjahn has taken his share of lumps already this season and currently sports a 4.15 ERA, but in his last four appearances has allowed zero runs, one hit, and three walks to eight strikeouts. The hard-throwing righty is striking out batters at a 32.2% clip, and he has excelled at limiting hard contact. Save opportunities for the Angels will come few and far between, but Zeferjahn could be of use for fantasy managers needing help in the category.

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (arm) left Sunday's contest against the Padres early after getting hit by a pitch in the third inning. San Diego pitcher Lucas Giolito caught Crawford with a 92 MPH fastball on the right tricep. Crawford stayed in the game but was pulled ahead of the fifth inning and replaced at shortstop by Leo Rivas. Per Daniel Kramer, Crawford was left with a contusion that made extending his arm difficult. So far this season, Crawford has been lagging behind his expected stats, hitting just .216 compared to his xBA of .263. If he misses time, Rivas doesn't have much more to offer fantasy managers, as he is slashing a meager .131/.263/.172.

Seattle Mariners infielder Brendan Donovan (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 17 due to a left groin strain. Donovan only recently returned from a stint on the injured list, also due to a groin strain, that lasted from April 20 to May 5. Per Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times, Donovan will be receiving two PRP injections, one in his groin and one in his adductor muscle, to aid in his recovery, and the Mariners hope to see him back in two to three weeks. Donovan's presence in the lineup will be missed. In 24 games played this season, he has a healthy triple-slash of .274/.386/.452 with three home runs. His absence clears the way for star prospect Colt Emerson to operate as Seattle's primary third baseman. Emerson was promoted and made his MLB debut on Sunday, going 0-for-2 with a walk and one run scored.
