Reds place Nick Lodolo (blister) on 15-day IL

Springer missed six straight games over the past week and a half for unspecified reasons before returning to action on Wednesday. This appears to be just a routine day off. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will function as the team’s designated hitter on Sunday while Sean Keys draws a start at first base and will bat seventh against Padres’ right-hander German Marquez.

Flewelling was named Futures Game MVP following the contest. The 19-year-old backstop wasn’t in the junior circuit’s starting lineup, but he delivered the biggest hit of the contest when he crushed a two-run shot to right field in the sixth inning to give them a commanding 4-1 advantage. He’s blossomed into one of the more intriguing catching prospects in baseball this season with a breakout campaign at High-A Bowling Green, slashing .261/.394/.496 with 16 homers and six steals in 335 plate appearances over 73 games. He’s a name fantasy managers need to know in long-term keeper and dynasty formats.

Made lifted an opposite-field single into shallow right field off Mariners southpaw Kade Anderson with two outs in the opening frame. He stepped to the plate with runners on the corners in the third inning but wound up grounding out harmlessly, although he did push the tying run across the plate with the 106.9-mph worm burner. The 19-year-old switch-hitting shortstop has continued his meteoric rise towards Milwaukee this season, slashing .276/.347/.442 with nine homers and 26 steals in 346 plate appearances over 76 games as one of the youngest players in Double-A.

De Vries lead off the contest with a line-drive single to left field and immediately swiped second and third base before crossing the plate on a ground out from Franklin Arias. He struck out against lefty Cam Caminiti in his next at-bat to end the third before being lifted for a defensive replacement in the fourth. The 19-year-old shortstop was the centerpiece of the Mason Miller trade with the Padres last year and looks like a potential X-factor for the Athletics homegrown core alongside the likes of Nick Kurtz, Brent Rooker, Jacob Wilson, Lawrence Butler and Tyler Soderstrom.

Josue De Paula lined a singled to center field in the fourth inning before being lifted for his Double-A teammate Mike Sirota in the fifth inning. The 21-year-old top prospect came up short in his bid to become the first-ever MVP in the 27-year history of the All-Star Futures Game. He’s had a phenomenal year at Double-A Tulsa, slashing .322/.417/.547 with 15 homers and 25 steals in 80 games, looking like a future five-category fantasy monster in the process.

Gillen brought home the go-ahead run with a fifth-inning single to left field that brought Nelson Rada around from second base. He struck out swinging on a nasty changeup from flame-thrower Miguel Sime Jr. in the seventh. The 20-year-old former first-round pick from the 2024 MLB Draft has made the leap to elite fantasy prospect this season with a robust .310/.415/.516 slash line with 12 homers and 32 thefts in 330 plate appearances through 71 games.

Florentino stole second base after being hit by a pitch from righty Nolan Perry in the third inning. He came around to score a couple batters later on a run-scoring ground out from Jesús Made. It wound up being his lone at-bat of the contest as he was lifted for a defensive replacement in the fourth. The 19-year-old phenom has started the heat up recently at High-A Greensboro with 12 homers and four steals in 236 plate appearances over 52 games since the start of May. He’s a fascinating power/speed combo prospect with a strong enough hit tool to become a highly impactful fantasy contributor down the road.

Parker missed a two-run homer in the seventh inning by a matter of feet as he turned on a 101-mph heater from hard-throwing righty Miguel Sime Jr. to give the American League a commanding 5-1 lead in the final frame. He came around to score on a single from Ralphy Velazquez a couple batters later. The 19-year-old shortstop has blossomed into Toronto’s top prospect and figures to pair with Arjun Nimmala to create a formidable infield tandem down the road.

Anderson drew the starting assignment for the American League and delivered a near-flawless 10-pitch frame that perfectly encapsulated the polish that has made him one of the top pitching prospects in baseball. He coaxed a pop up from Eli Willits and got Roldy Brito to ground out before surrendering an opposite-field single to Jesús Made. He managed to get out of the frame unscathed by inducing a deep fly ball from Charlie Condon. He averaged 94.3 mph on his four-seam fastball and topped out at 95.4 mph. The 22-year-old southpaw has authored a dominant professional debut, compiling a pristine 1.36 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 108/10 K/BB ratio across 72 2/3 innings over 14 starts at Double-A Arkansas. He’s on track to reach Seattle later this summer and offers enough strikeout upside to make an immediate fantasy impact upon arrival.

Wood drew the starting assignment for the National League in what could soon be his major-league home ballpark, allowing a leadoff single to Leo De Vries on a two-strike fastball before quickly settling in. He retired Franklin Arias, Ralphy Velazquez and Walker Jenkins on just seven pitches to escape the inning without further damage. He averaged 96.7 mph on his four-seam fastball and topped out at 97.7 mph during the 11-pitch outing. The hard-throwing 22-year-old could factor into Philadelphia’s postseason plans in a shorter relief role if the organization opts to accelerate his timeline to the big leagues.
