There are, invariably, some nights during the Minor League campaign where the game’s top stars are a little quiet in terms of their performances. This was undoubtedly not one of those nights! Five club No. 1 prospects homered, including the Giants’ Bryce Eldridge who did so twice. Current (and likely

There was a little bit of everything as the calendar flipped to August. Double-A firsts by Top 100 prospects Braden Montgomery and Josue Briceño highlighted the offensive exploits, while Trey Yesavage, Robby Snelling and Quinn Mathews all stood out on the mound.

CINCINNATI -- The Dodgers ended up buying and selling off one piece ahead of Thursday's Trade Deadline, addressing their key areas of need in the bullpen and outfield while also dealing Dustin May to the Red Sox in exchange for two prospects.

The best and brightest of the Minors were out in full force as action also continued behind the scenes in advance of Thursday's Trade Deadline. Kevin Alcántara (CHC) mashed two homers, Carson Benge (NYM) continued his scorching summer and Christian Moore (LAA) looked pretty healthy as he began his rehab

The final days of July baseball kicked off with plenty of action around the Minor League landscape. Walker Jenkins (NYY), JJ Wetherholt (STL) and Jhostynxon Garcia (BOS) came through with big-time performances to power a deep Top 100 prospect contingent. On the mound, Hurston Waldrep (ATL) wrapped up a sterling

Alex Freeland flies under the radar more than most prospects on MLB Pipeline's Top 100 list, even though he's ranked No. 35. He doesn't have a single spectacular tool, but he has all-around ability and leaves no doubt that he's capable of playing shortstop in the Majors. With Max Muncy

CINCINNATI -- The Dodgers promoted infielder Alex Freeland, their No. 3 prospect and MLB Pipeline's No. 35 overall prospect, ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Reds. In a corresponding move, fellow infielder Hyeseong Kim was placed on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder bursitis. Freeland is expected to

Samuel Basallo kicked off the weekend in style in a game full of achievements. The slugging backstop reached the 20-homer plateau for a second time, collected a career-high five hits and fell a triple shy of the cycle. Basallo wasn't alone, as fellow Top 100 prospects Bryce Eldridge, Alex Freeland

Sitting atop the Top 100 Prospect rankings for the first time didn't faze Konnor Griffin, who continued to tear through opposing pitching. Perhaps the only hitter doing more damage is Spencer Jones, who left the yard three times as part of an ongoing power surge that has the slugger a

The Minors jumped back into action with some impressive performances following a four-day break. A number of Top 100 prospects picked up right where they left off, with JJ Wetherholt, Charlie Condon and Lazaro Montes swinging the heavy lumber. On the pitching side, Jonah Tong, Gage Jump and Jackson Ferris

LOS ANGELES -- After the Dodgers took a pair of pitchers on Day 1 of the 2025 MLB Draft -- including top pick Zach Root at No. 40 -- they continued to stock up on arms on the second and final day of the event on Monday. L.A. drafted pitchers

SAN FRANCISCO -- Zach Root and Charles Davalan helped take Arkansas to the semifinals of the College World Series earlier this year. Now, they'll be teammates once more in the organization of MLB's reigning champions.

LOS ANGELES -- Something that occasionally gets lost in the noise of the Dodgers' recent high-spending offseasons is that they have a knack for identifying and developing talent. The organization will put those skills to the test once more in this year's MLB Draft, which begins on Sunday in Atlanta.

The 26th annual All-Star Futures Game is coming this weekend to Truist Park, and a number of future stars seemed to be gearing up for the showcase on Wednesday. In his Triple-A debut, JJ Wetherholt (MLB No. 19) launched a homer, raced for a triple and added a double for

The Fourth of July might be over, but there were plenty of Minor League fireworks left over. Everson Pereira checked off the milestone box, hitting for a cycle during the best overall performance of his professional career. Meanwhile, Top 100 prospect Owen Caissie cracked two more long balls, Zyhir Hope

The first day of July featured some early holiday fireworks, including a pair of Top 100 prospects tallying multihomer games at Triple-A. Carter Jensen and Joe Mack represented their catching brethren well, but they weren't the only heavy hitters. Midwest League sluggers Zyhir Hope and Josue Briceño tried to one-up

We hope you like homers because Friday’s Minor League action had a whole lot of ‘em. From coast to coast, some of the game’s premier prospect sluggers brought out the big bats -- but none more than Lazaro Montes, who walloped a 475-foot tater at Double-A. Not to be outdone,

The penultimate weekend of June has come and gone, and in the Minor Leagues that means first-half clinchings were on the line and big performances were just as important as ever. Sunday featured no shortage of those across the Minors, and as the weather continued heating up, the bats led

It was a fairly balanced slate around the Minors with some top-notch pitching performances -- highlighted by 2024 first-rounder Chase Burns -- as well as a second straight monster game from Colt Emerson. Hurlers Quinn Mathews and Robby Snelling made notable starts and Kyle Freeland left the yard for a
