Tigers outfielder J.D. Martinez went 1 for 4 with a three-run home run in his team's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays Tuesday.

Martinez delivered his shot in the bottom of the ninth inning to bring his team within two, but that was as close as they would get before the Blue Jays finished off the win. He has hit .262/.324/.492 with three home runs and 14 RBI in 61 at-bats.

Indians outfielder Michael Brantley has hit safely in 16 of his last 17 games after going 2 for 4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rockies. Brantley upped his average to .307/.370/.505 with 40 RBI in 212 at-bats.

Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera clubbed his 10th home run Saturday against the Mariners.

Cabrera stepped to the plate with the bases empty in the fourth inning. On the third pitch of the at-bat, Cabrera belted an 89 mph fastball out to left for the solo shot. He also singled later in the contest. Cabrera finished 2 for 4, with one run and one RBI.

Athletics outfielder Yoenis Cespedes got all of the tough parts out of the way, and ended up just a single short of the cycle in an 11-3 win over the Angels Saturday.

Cespedes accounted for much of the A's offensive output, as he drove in five of the team's 11 runs. He brought in two on a seventh-inning triple, followed by a three-run home run in the eighth inning. He had a double earlier in the game, finishing 3 for 5 with two runs and five RBI.

Cespedes has been a bit cold to open the season, hitting just .245 through 52 games. He finished the month of May with a .234 average. He still has 10 home runs and 37 RBI in 200 at-bats. 

Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera continued to hit like Miguel Cabrera on Friday night. He extended his hitting streak to six with a single and two-run homer in the third inning. He sweetened his stat line to ..328/.374/.556 in the process.

Cabrera has slugged two homers in the last four games.

With word that Maikel Franco could in fact replace the injured Cody Asche if he gets hot enough at Triple-A Lehigh Valley during the time Asche is sidelined (for more, check out the latest Prospects Report), the Phillies third baseman has officially become one of the most stashable prospects in Fantasy. Of course, by now, that list has become so long that you may need help prioritizing. So here you go.

Gregory Polanco is still No. 1. He's way too good for Triple-A, and even if the Pirates are waiting because of Super 2 concerns, he may be only three weeks away. Oscar Taveras may be only one week away if you buy that the Cardinals plan to promote him for their stretch of seven games in AL parks at the beginning of June. He may not be as prepared for the big leagues as Polanco, but he has arguably more upside.

Jon Singleton is still "on deck" for the Astros and crushing it at Triple-A Oklahoma City. The comes Franco. Andrew Heaney, the top pitcher of choice, edges out Joc Pederson, who seems like a long shot for a promotion even with Carl Crawford's ankle injury.

Boom! End of list. Now, go make us proud.

Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera clubbed his eighth home run Tuesday.

In the third inning, Cabrera stepped to the plate against Sonny Gray. On a 91 mph cutter, Cabrera belted a home run out to left. Cabrera also singled during his first at-bat, going 2 for 4, with two runs and two RBI.

Cabrera is hitting .324/.369/.548 in 188 at-bats.

Athletics outfielder Yoenis Cespedes was one of five Oakland players to hit a home run in his team's 10-0 win over the Tigers Monday.

Cespedes went 1 for 5 in the game and delivered the fourth solo home run of the contest in the third inning. After hitting two home runs in his last three games, the Oakland outfielder has hit .247/.310/.500 with nine home runs and 31 RBI in 178 at-bats.

Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera, who left Sunday's game with a hamstring cramp, was in Monday's lineup against the Athletics. He's hitting .322 with seven homers and 42 RBI.

Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera left Sunday's game against the Rangers with a right hamstring cramp. He is considered day to day.

Cabrera went 1 for 3 with one walk before leaving the game. Cabrera entered Sunday batting .373 with a .675 slugging percentage and 1.090 OPS in 22 May games.
