The Phillies have selected Mathison with the 162nd overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. A lefty-hitting outfielder from Indiana, Mathison is a plus runner with a chance to be an above-average defensive outfielder. He is power-over-hit, but neither tool projects to be better than average. He hasn't put his speed to use much on the bases, stealing just 16 on 20 attempts during his Big Ten career.

Travis d'Arnaud steps in behind the plate as Murphy's replacement in the starting nine Sunday.

The Tigers have selected Randall with the 85th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. A high school catcher, Randall converting to pitching at the University of Arizona before transferring to San Diego, where he emerged at the Friday night starter. The right-hander can pound the strike zone with a heavy sinker and above-average slider, and while his profile does suggest a future as a high-leverage reliever, Detroit will likely give him every chance to develop as a starter.

The Yankees have selected Ziehl with the 119th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. A righty from Miami, Ziehl moved to the rotation and held his own thanks to a solid three-pitch mix. He's a bit undersized from a height standpoint (6-foot) but at 223 pounds, he may be able to handle a starter's workload. His slider is his best secondary pitch to go with a low-90s fastball (touches 97 mph).

The Twins have selected Diaw with the 96th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. While Diaw's arm strength and agility should allow him to begin his professional career at catcher, he lacks extensive experience at the position and could eventually shift to the outfield if he can't stick behind the dish. Regardless, Diaw's bat will be his main draw rather than his defense, as the 21-year-old boasts solid bat-to-ball skills and is able to generate a modicum of pop from his 6-foot-1, 215-pound frame.
