Chicago Cubs right-handed pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins was sent to minor-league camp on Sunday afternoon. The team's No. 2-ranked prospect was given the opportunity to begin spring training with the MLB roster but will return to the minor leagues to continue his development. The 24-year-old was unlikely to begin the 2026 season in the major leagues, but should remain in the mix to join the Cubs later in the summer. In 2025, the former 2023 draft pick spent most of his time at High-A and Double-A before finishing the season with a short 9 2/3 inning stint at Triple-A Iowa. Across 68 1/3 innings at High-A and Double-A, Wiggins posted a stellar 1.84 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, with an 83:30 K:BB. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression at Triple-A, as he could be the first name called as an injury replacement.

Chicago Cubs first base prospect Jonathon Long (elbow) is nearing a return to baseball activities, according to Bruce Levine of 670The Score. Long has been sidelined with a bruised elbow but has avoided any structural damage and should be cleared to return to action in the coming days. Long is considered the team's No. 7-ranked prospect on MLB.com and one of the top hitting prospects in the system. The Long Beach State product joined the Cubs back in the ninth round of the 2023 MLB Draft. Last summer, he spent his entire campaign at Triple-A Iowa and looked rather impressive. Across 140 games, Long held his own, posting a .305/.404/.479 line with 23 doubles, 20 home runs, and an .883 OPS. Given that Michael Busch is slated to be the everyday first baseman, Long will need to wait for an injury to be in the mix for his MLB debut.

Athletics shortstop prospect Leo De Vries went 2-for-4 with two home runs and six RBI during their victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday afternoon. The team's No. 1-ranked prospect (and MLB.com's No. 4-ranked prospect) enjoyed a massive breakout game. Overall, through 11 spring training games, De Vries has gone 10-for-26 with three sotlen bases and the aforementioned two long balls. The young shortstop joined the Athletics ahead of last year's trade deadline in the deal that moved top right-handed closer Mason Miller to San Diego. Last season, De Vries logged 118 games (shared between High-A and Double-A), where he posted a .255/.355/.451 line with an .806 OPS, 15 HRs, and 11 SBs. If he continues this pace, De Vries could join Triple-A Las Vegas before the All-Star break.

Atlanta Braves right-handed pitching prospect Didier Fuentes tossed two innings of relief in his spring training debut on Saturday against the Baltimore Orioles. Fuentes logged two innings and did not allow a hit or a walk, and struck out four hitters. The 20-year-old right-hander made his MLB debut last summer but was unable to find much success, posting a hefty 13.85 ERA with a 2.23 WHIP over his first 13 innings in Atlanta. During this stint, he struck out 12 hitters and allowed walks at an 8.7% rate. In the minor leagues, he logged 57 innings across stints at High-A, Double-A, and Triple-A, where he posted a 4.58 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, with a 71:16 K:BB. While Futenes is likely ticketed for Triple-A to begin the season, an early promotion is likely possible given that Atlanta is already without starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow).
