    Cardinals placed LHP Zack Thompson on the 15-day injured list with a left lat muscle tear.
    Thompson was shut down 3-4 weeks earlier this month after suffering a tear in his left lat muscle. The 27-year-old lefty will be sidelined until some point in early April and will need several weeks, if not longer, to build up his arm strength and pitch count. He might be an option for the Cardinals at some point in mid-to-late May.

    J.T. Realmuto smacked a two-out, go-ahead RBI double off of David Morgan in the eighth inning on Sunday, propelling the Phillies to a 2-1 victory over the Padres in San Diego.
    Relamuto’s run-scoring double snapped a 1-1 tie and proved to be enough for the Phillies to eke out a one-run victory. The 34-year-old backstop also singled in the ballgame, finishing the afternoon 2-for-4. He finishes the first half of the season hitting .268/.324/.381 with five homers, 32 RBI and five stolen bases in 299 plate appearances.

  • PHI 1st Baseman #3
    Bryce Harper went 1-for-3 with a double, walk and a pair of runs scored as the Phillies eked out a one-run victory over the Padres on Sunday afternoon.
    The 32-year-old slugger drew a two-out walk off of Nick Pivetta in the first inning, advanced on an error and ultimately scored on a throwing error by Luis Arraez. Harper also doubled off of Adrian Morejon in the eighth inning and scored the go-ahead run on J.T. Realmuto’s two-out RBI double. Harper finishes the first half of the season hitting .261/.374/.451 with 10 homers, 35 RBI and nine stolen bases in his first 302 plate appearances.
  • PHI Relief Pitcher #25
    Matt Strahm picked up his sixth save of the season on Sunday afternoon, working a scoreless ninth inning to protect a one-run lead against the Padres.
    Orion Kerkering came on with one out in the eighth inning and worked through some trouble before escaping with the lead intact. Strahm then took over in the ninth and made things interesting as well, issuing a leadoff walk to Jake Cronenworth who was then sacrificed to second base. Strahm then got Elias Diaz to pop out foul to third base for the second out. He walked Fernando Tatis Jr. intentionally and then retired Luis Arraez on a fly ball to left field to end it. The 33-year-old southpaw finishes the first half with a 3.29 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 44/12 K/BB ratio over 38 1/3 innings to go with six saves and a victory.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #61
    Christopher Sánchez delivered another strong performance in Sunday’s victory over the Padres, racking up six strikeouts over 7 1/3 innings of one-run baseball.
    The 28-year-old southpaw scattered six hits and three walks on the afternoon. The lone blemish on his day came on an RBI single off the bat of Jose Iglesias in the seventh inning. Sánchez got 14 swings and misses on 86 pitches in the ballgame — 10 of those on his excellent changeup — while registering an elite CSW of 37 percent. He finishes the first half of the season with a brilliant 8-2 record, 2.50 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and a 122/32 K/BB ratio over 115 frames through his first 19 starts.
  • SD Shortstop #2
    Xander Bogaerts went 2-for-2, drew a pair of walks and stole two bases as the Padres fell to the Phillies in their first half finale on Sunday afternoon.
    Bogaerts worked Christopher Sánchez for a two-out walk in the opening inning and swiped second base before being left stranded there. He then led off the fourth inning with a single and once again pilfered second, but the Padres were unable to cash him. The 32-year-old infielder finishes the first half hitting .266/.344/.369 with five homers, 31 RBI and 15 stolen bases across 379 plate appearances.
  • SD Starting Pitcher #27
    Nick Pivetta was terrific in a tough-luck no-decision against the Phillies on Sunday, allowing just one unearned run on three hits over 6 2/3 innings.
    Pivetta piled up eight strikeouts on the afternoon while issuing a pair of free passes. The only run that scored against him came as Bryce Harper scored on a throwing error by Luis Arraez with two outs in the opening inning. Pivetta then dominated the rest of the way, but it simply wasn’t enough. He got 15 swings and misses on 104 pitches on the day — nine of them on his sweeper — while posting an elite CSW of 36 percent. He finishes the first half with a 9-2 record, 2.88 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and a 122/29 K/BB ratio across 109 1/3 innings through his first 19 starts.
  • KC 3rd Baseman
    Royals selected Wesleyan-Christian HS (NC) SS Josh Hammond with the 28th pick of the 2025 MLB Draft.
    Hammond is one o the most intriguing infielders in the class, and also is viewed by some as a two-way prospect. Kansas City will have him focus on the bat as an 18-year-old who has plus power and makes loud contact. He may need to move to third, but his pop potential along with a very strong arm would play fine there. There’s significant upside in Hammond’s bat, but there’s certainly risk that comes with the reward.
  • CLE Outfield
    Guardians drafted Texas A&M OF Jace LaViolette with the No. 27 selection of the 2025 Draft.
    LaViolette entered the draft as one of the favorites to be one of the first college bats off the board, but an inconsistent — at best — season saw his draft stock drop significantly. When he’s at his best, he’s an outfielder who shows plus power in his left-handed bat, and the exit velocities are generally good. You gotta put the ball into play for that to matter, and he didn’t do that nearly enough in 2025. There’s upside in LaViolette’s arm, but there’s also a good deal of risk.
  • CLG Starting Pitcher
    Phillies selected Arkansas RHP Gage Wood with the No. 26 pick of the 2025 MLB Draft.
    Wood dealt with health issues in 2025, but when he was on the mound he was one of the best college pitchers in the country. He can get his fastball up to 98 mph, and his slider is an above-average pitch. There’s health concerns, and the stuff wasn’t always consistent along with less-than-ideal size at 6-foot, 205-pounds. He could be lights-out in the bullpen, but Philadelphia should give him a chance to develop as a starter.
  • SD Starting Pitcher
    Padres selected Sunset HS (OR) LHP Kruz Schoolcraft with the No. 25 selection of the 2025 MLB Draft.
    Schoolcraft is massive; a 6-foot-8, 229-pound southpaw that you wouldn’t guess is a player who just turned 18 in April. He has command issues as most tall young pitchers do, but he shows a plus fastball/slider combination and has made progress with a change that could be above-average as well. There’s obvious volatility with any prep arm, but Schoolcraft has the stuff to someday be a fantasy stalwart.
