Brandon Sprro earns a hard-wought MLB debut for the Mets as a six-inning, movement-heavy starter, signaling a possible late-season streamer option. Hunter Green anchors the weekend argument for top-12 SP upside next year, despite injury chatter, while Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s no-hitter bid plus Dodgers bullpen woes steal headlines in a fantasy-friendly context. The pod also weighs rookie risers like Parker Messick and Emmet Sheehan, plus the usual closer churn as injuries reshape late-season saves chances.

Mirrored by post-week updates, the panel recommends measured optimism on Sprro’s long-term value, flags risk in Yamamoto’s workload with a six-man rotation looming, and flags Scott’s and Chris’s talk around Yamamoto versus Sale as a pivot for offseason rankings. With injuries to Palencia and Turner's hamstring, speculative adds like Keller, Ferrer, and Morales gain traction for short-term saves, while stud targets like Julio Rodríguez and Yordan Alvarez continue to anchor fantasy rosters.

Jacob Marcy’s breakout is the season’s newest wildfire. In 13 MLB games, he’s posted a 1414 OPS and an eye-popping blend of speed and contact discipline that makes him an immediate fantasy staple in steals-heavy formats. The sprint to 50+ steals at Triple-A before promotion is real, and his walk-to-strikeout balance translates to a plausible floor in OBP leagues. The ceiling hinges on continued contact quality and whether the Miami Marlins can sustain the early magic without sacrificing playing time for a fluky run.

Hunter Green’s return to form could reshape the rest of the season. Six shutout innings, six strikeouts, and 101.2 mph max velo offered a reminder of the ceiling that makes him a top-12 prospect-potential fantasy ace the rest of the year. The slider looked sharp, and the revived splitter may give him a late-season edge as teams chase velocity and whiffs. Look for him to stay in the mix as a must-start in many standard leagues and a potential league-winner in deeper formats if the strikeouts stay high and the walk rate remains controlled.

Two notable promotions added to the hype: Owen Casey lands with the Cubs, a power-first outfielder with a strong minors track record, while Nolan McLean earned a Mets start on Saturday. Casey brings a big-contact, big-power profile that could yield surges in counting stats if he finds consistent run in a limited, staggered role. McLean’s ground-ball heavy mix and strikeout trend raise interest for deeper leagues where a spot start could bloom into a longer look as his changeup and control mature.

In other news, Miguel Andújar has heated up with Cincinnati, while Colson Montgomery and a handful of deeper prospects continue to shape rosters with upside beyond the shallow pool. The waiver-wire chatter remains vivid, with Carter and a few other call-ups reminding managers that late-season surges can redefine value. The overarching theme: trust in disciplined hitters who can steal, pair Broadsides with high-leverage arms who miss bats, and don’t be afraid to chase a few bold bets late in the season.
