Following the trade of ace Tarik Skubal, the Detroit Tigers have recalled top prospect Max Clark, OF. Clark, ranked No. 8 entering the season, has excelled in Triple-A with a .294/.402/.506 slash line since June, showcasing strong plate approach and speed. His promotion, despite not being on the 40-man roster, suggests he's expected to be an everyday player.

Another young outfielder to consider is Spencer Jones, OF, Yankees. After previous promotions, Jones is showing promise with increased hard contact and a reduced whiff rate in his recent appearances. If Aaron Judge or Cody Bellinger are sidelined longer than expected, Jones could see regular playing time.

For two-start pitchers, Joey Cantillo, SP, Guardians, is a viable option, facing the Mets and White Sox. In deeper leagues, Clay Holmes, SP, Mets, is a potential trade candidate with a solid ERA, and Jackson Jobe, SP, Tigers, is returning from injury and could fill Skubal's rotation spot. Andrew Painter, SP, Phillies, is a speculative deep-league add with high upside despite early struggles.
