Ethan Holliday, the top prospect of the Colorado Rockies, will undergo left foot surgery and be out for the season, MLB.com reported.

The 19-year-old shortstop, who was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, suffered a stress fracture and was put on the injured list by Single-A Fresno. He has not played since May 20.

It is unclear when and how the injury occurred, per the report. The Rockies have yet to announce the surgery.

Holliday, drafted out of Oklahoma’s Stillwater High School, signed with the Rockies for a $9 million bonus — the largest bonus ever for a high schooler. He started his pro career at Fresno after the draft and returned there this spring.

He will end this season with a .262 batting average with nine home runs and 32 RBIs in 33 games. Before the injury, he was enjoying a solid May, hitting .295 with six homers, four doubles and a triple in 15 games.

MLB Pipeline lists him as the No. 17 overall prospect with an estimated arrival in the major leagues in 2029. At 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, Holliday is expected to move to third base down the line.

His older brother, Jackson Holliday, was the No. 1 pick of the 2022 MLB Draft by the Baltimore Orioles. Also an infielder, Jackson recently made his season debut, after being sidelined with a fractured hamate bone sustained in batting practice prior to the start of spring training in February.

In 10 games in 2026, he is hitting .259 with two homers and five RBIs.

Their father, Matt Holliday, was a seven-time All-Star who played for four teams but is best known for his long stays with the Rockies and St. Louis Cardinals.

The New York Yankees are bludgeoning opponents during a five-game winning streak and are pushing the Tampa Bay Rays for the best record in the American League. New York figures to have a solid chance at its sixth straight victory when it visits the Athletics on Saturday night at West Sacramento, Calif.

The Yankees drubbed the A’s 8-2 on Friday in the opener of a three-game series and have outscored foes 36-6 during their winning streak. New York has a plus-95 run differential and just recently got ace pitcher Gerrit Cole back from a major arm injury.

The Rays have been slumping but still own a stellar 35-19 record one-third of the way through their season as they entertain the woeful Los Angeles Angels. The Philadelphia Phillies visit the Los Angeles Dodgers in a rematch of last season’s National League Division Series.

NEW YORK YANKEES AT ATHLETICS

Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has 17 homers but has gone deep just once in the past 16 games. The ball carries well at Sutter Health Park and Judge grew up 50 miles south in Linden and would like to slam one over the fence.

Right-hander J.T. Ginn of the Athletics took a no-hitter into the ninth against the Angels two starts ago before losing the no-no and the game and followed up by walking six in 2 1/3 innings in a loss to the San Diego Padres. Ginn will be asked to cool down Ben Rice, who went 4-for-5 with a homer in Friday’s game and is a scorching 9-for-14 over the past three games.

The A’s are in big trouble after being outscored 30-6 in the first four contests of a six-game homestand. Manager Mark Kotsay pointed out that his club hasn’t even led during those games. Not a good recipe combined with Judge due to send a ball into orbit.

Aaron Judge to hit 1-plus homers, +229 (DraftKings)

LOS ANGELES ANGELS AT TAMPA BAY RAYS

The Rays were blanked by the Yankees on Sunday and then were outscored 26-10 in a three-game road set by the Baltimore Orioles before beating the Angels 8-5 in Friday’s series opener. Rays standout Yandy Diaz homered twice in the contest and has four multi-hit games in his last eight appearances.

Angels left-hander Reid Detmers struck out a career-best 14 and allowed one hit (a homer) in eight innings while receiving a no-decision against the Texas Rangers last Sunday. The catch, of course, is Detmers (1-5, 4.57 ERA) has never been consistent – in fact, he was torched for eight runs in 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Athletics in his previous start.

The Angels are tied with the Detroit Tigers for the worst record in the AL while Mike Trout (three homers, nine RBIs this month) continues to be an ordinary player. Hard to see Los Angeles having much success against Rays right-hander Dennis Rasmussen (4-1, 2.78).

Rays to win game -1.5 runs, +145 (DraftKings)

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES AT LOS ANGELES DODGERS

This series represents Philadelphia’s first visit to Dodger Stadium since losing to Los Angeles in last season’s National League Division Series when elimination came on right-hander Orion Kerkering’s wild throw home in the 11th inning. The Phillies fell 4-2 in Friday’s contest when they had only three hits and couldn’t keep the Dodgers from hitting balls out of the park.

Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy, Shohei Ohtani and Will Smith all clubbed solo shots for the Dodgers, who had just six hits overall while winning their sixth straight game. The Dodgers have the second-best record in the National League while the Phillies (29-28) continue to flounder despite a recent managerial switch.

Ohtani had three hits on Friday and has homered in back-to-back games to raise his modest season total to 10. Left-hander Jesus Luzardo (4-4, 4.38 this season) pitched well against the Dodgers in the playoffs last season after winning 15 regular-season games but hasn’t found his form this season.

The Stanley Cup Final matchup is set: The Beasts from the East will face the Pillow Fight (Pacific) Division champs.

In a matchup that follows absolutely dominant victories in the conference finals, the Carolina Hurricanes will face the Vegas Golden Knights in a series that kicks off on Tuesday in Raleigh, N.C.

Oddsmakers have the Hurricanes as favorites, and they do have home-ice advantage in the best-of-seven series, but this could be a down-to-the-wire clash.

With that in mind, here are three reasons why both teams can come out on top.

Why Carolina will win:

• Team play. There are myriad reasons the Hurricanes have lost only once en route to the finals. So many come down to how well they are coached and how well they execute. Carolina may not boast the biggest stars, but they are collectively such a dominating club. In simplest terms, they out-shoot and out-chance their opponents because of their relentless play and ability to find and exploit opponents’ weaknesses.

• Defensively, they are the best team in the league right now, by a country mile. Through their 13 playoff games, the Hurricanes have surrendered only 21 goals, and one of them was with their net empty. And once clubs actually generate shots, goaltender Frederik Andersen has been amazing, having posted a 1.41 goals-against average and .931 save percentage. He allowed more than two goals in only one outing.

• Improved talent. Among the reasons Carolina petered out in past playoff runs was a lack of offensive touch. Basically, the top players were unable to put them over the hump and the supporting cast could not take the load. This club, however, has benefited from the development of young players Logan Stankoven and Jackson Blake and additions such as Nikolaj Ehlers and defenseman K’Andre Miller. As a result, there is not just one line to shut down.

Why Vegas will win:

• Championship experience. This the third trip to the finals in only the franchise’s ninth season, and there are still players from the misfit club that made it this far in the 2017-18 inaugural campaign that shockingly lost out in the finals. There are 13 players still on the team from the Cup-winning squad of 2023. That experience goes a long way when the Stanley Cup is on the line.

• Better special teams. As much as these clubs have flexed their offensive skills, their defensive play is the foundation of their success. Do not expect too many high-scoring affairs, and that means power-play prowess can be the difference. Carolina has been outstanding on the penalty kill so far (a 92.5 percent kill rate), but Vegas is not far back at 87.5 per cent. The big difference is the power play. While Carolina has struggled with the man-advantage (12.5 percent: 7-for-56), Vegas has been consistently strong (23.9 percent: 11-for-46). The Golden Knights also have scored four short-handed goals, three by Brett Howden.

• Offensively, Vegas has more depth actually producing. When you think of the Golden Knights, the names that likely first come to mind are Jack Eichel, Mitch Marner and Mark Stone, and they are all delivering as expected. However, the leading goal scorers are Howden and Pavel Dorofeyev, who both have 10 goals, more than anybody on the Hurricanes roster. Also, the Golden Knights have received more offensive contributions from their defense corps.
