Happ gave Chicago an early advantage when he took Giants starter Landen Roupp deep in the third inning for his third round-tripper of the season. He also tacked on an additional run with a sixth-inning sacrifice fly. The 30-year-old corner outfielder has been on a tear of late, hitting .367 (22-for-60) with two homers and 11 RBI over his last 15 games.

Brown issued two walks. Those led off the first and fourth innings, and the Giants went to score all three of their runs in those innings. Brown wasn’t hit hard, and the nine strikeouts were great. He just put himself into bad spots with those walks, and now he’ll take a 3-3 record and a 4.95 ERA into his next start, a favorable home matchup against the Marlins. He’ll be a streaming option in that one.

Horton has been impressive at Triple-A Iowa this season and is in the mix to replace Shota Imanaga (hamstring) this weekend. However, he has also only pitched 205 innings in the minors since being drafted in 2022, and the Cubs are concerned that “Horton has missed out on some developmental time that could have already sharpened his game and kept his pitches in the strike zone more consistently.” Mooney reports that the team wants Horton to cut down on his “non-competitive pitches” because they see that as a major weakness that will be exposed by MLB hitters. While that issue may keep Horton from debuting this weekend, it seems likely that he will be up at some point this month, which makes him one of the top prospect stashes in fantasy baseball.

Woof. Pressly took over for the top half of the 11th inning with the score knotted at 5-5. He faced eight batters in total — five of them reached via base hit, Pressly also walked one, hit one and allowed another to reach on a sacrifice bunt. All eight runners, as well as the inherited runner to open the 11th inning, wound up coming around to score. It’s the type of outing that could very easily cost Pressly his role in the ninth inning with the Cubs as it ballooned his ERA from 2.08 to 7.62 in the blink of an eye. Porter Hodge — who worked a scoreless 10th inning on Tuesday — makes for a terrific speculative add any place where he may still be available.

Bader was out of the starting lineup due to illness, but the 30-year-old looked plenty healthy with a two-run shot in the seventh inning. The outfielder has now homered four times in 2025, and it’s come with a solid slash of .287/.368/.457.

Painter will make his first start in the upper minors after four outings for Low-A Clearwater to open the season. The 22-year-old is universally-regarded as the top pitching prospect in baseball and is expected to make his major-league debut at some point in the second half of the year.

Clase joins Toronto’s crowded corner outfield mix after hitting .315 with 15 steals in 27 games this season for Triple-A Buffalo. The 22-year-old is unlikely to garner enough playing time to make a significant impact for fantasy purposes.
