Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton had the 19th multi-homer game of his career in Wednesday's 9-5 loss to the visiting Miami Marlins at Target Field, and he's now up to 15 home runs on the year. Buxton finished the contest 2-for-4 at the plate out of the leadoff spot for the Twins with two solo home runs, a walk, and a strikeout to raise his season average to .260 and his OPS to .899. The 32-year-old veteran and two-time All-Star has stayed healthy so far in 2026 and is up to 23 RBI, 33 runs scored, and four stolen bases in his first 40 games. Buxton has also added four stolen bases, but fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting him to reach the 20-steal mark for the second straight year. At this point in his career, Buxton is primarily a power asset at the top of Minnesota's batting order. He has really started to heat up offensively, batting .298 with all 15 of his homers, 22 RBI, and four stolen bases in his last 26 games across 114 at-bats. Continue to ride the hot-hitting veteran in all fantasy formats.

The Minnesota Twins will push back left-handed pitching prospect Connor Prielipp's next start a day or two to help manage his innings, according to Bobby Nightengale of The Minneapolis Star Tribune. Zebby Matthews will be called up from the minors to start Thursday's series finale against the Miami Marlins. The 25-year-old Prielipp has looked good in his first four major-league starts, posting a 3.32 ERA (4.38 FIP) and 1.00 WHIP with 21 strikeouts and seven walks in 19 innings pitched, but since he has not thrown more than 83 2/3 innings in a single season as a professional, the Twins will handle him with kid gloves in 2026. The team's No. 5 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, has also had Tommy John surgery twice in his career. Prielipp is currently rostered in only 12% of Yahoo leagues, and his innings cap this year will certainly keep his fantasy ceiling low in his first year in the big leagues with the Twins. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound southpaw's stuff is real with a high-90s heater that gets plenty of swing and miss. Prielipp also generates elite-level spin on his slider and features a changeup that also draws plenty of whiffs.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh (side) left the game on Wednesday night against the Houston Astros in the bottom of the ninth inning, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Mitch Garver replaced Raleigh behind the plate after the left-handed slugger was seen grabbing at his right side in the eighth inning. Before leaving, the struggling catcher went hitless in his four at-bats with two strikeouts to drop his season average to a paltry .161 and his OPS to .560. The 29-year-old All-Star missed three games earlier in May due to soreness in the same side, so this could definitely be something that sends Raleigh to the injured list. We should know more about the severity of his injury on Thursday, so fantasy managers will want to check back for an update then. At the very least, Raleigh probably won't play in Thursday's series finale in Houston, and he might not be available this weekend when the team returns home to face the San Diego Padres for a three-game series. After leading all of baseball with 60 homers and 125 RBI in 2025, Raleigh has been one of the biggest disappointments so far in 2026, with seven homers and 18 RBI in his 41 games played.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak continues to be money for fantasy managers in his second season with the Rockies. The 28-year-old former first overall pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2016 continued to rake on Wednesday night in a 10-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park, going 3-for-5 at the plate with a three-run home run, a triple, five RBI, and a strikeout to raise his season average to .315 and his OPS to 1.051. He finished a single shy of the cycle and blasted his 12th home run of the season off right-hander Mitch Keller in the fifth inning. Moniak is proving that last year's breakout in his first year in Colorado wasn't a fluke. He's now slashing .315/.358/.693 with 12 homers, 26 RBI, 12 runs scored, and a stolen base in 137 plate appearances across 35 games in 2026. The crazy part is that he's rostered in under 70% of Yahoo leagues. Run to the waiver wire and pick him up immediately if he's still available in your league.
