It's summer time and the weather is warm in the Minor Leagues. Maybe that's why Sunday was marked by big swings and big performances with hitters around the Minors standing out for what they did at the dish.

A busy day and night of offense was led by a grand performance from a Giant slugger, a monstrous clout by an Angel in Salt Lake and sustained excellence across a doubleheader by a 19-year-old Pirate. Of course, it wouldn't be a complete day of Minor League action without a

Roundtrippers were flying out of ballparks all across the Minor League landscape, highlighted by a pair of three-homer games. Top 100 prospect and Tigers slugger Josue Briceño kicked things off in the High-A Midwest League with his trio of jacks before Dodgers thumper Ryan Ward did the same for Triple-A

Roman Anthony, MLB's top overall prospect, got things going early in the night with a leadoff homer, but he wasn't the only talented phenom to deliver a standout performance.

Stealing bases is an art -- and Kendall George was a virtuoso for the Dodgers' High-A affiliate on Sunday.

Multihit games, walk-off homers and scintillating pitching performances made for a busy Saturday around the Minors. Pittsburgh's first-year pro Konnor Griffin continues to play beyond his years, vaulting up offensive leaderboards in his initial taste of Single-A. Meanwhile, Mets hurler Jonah Tong followed up a perfect outing with even more

LOS ANGELES -- Dalton Rushing had been dreaming of this day for as long as he could remember. Now that it was finally here, he knew that all he had to do was focus on what he knows best. “I think I was more nervous before the game, just to

LOS ANGELES -- When Dalton Rushing's phone started buzzing around 1 a.m. on Wednesday, he was initially worried that something might be wrong. Then he saw that it was his manager, Scott Hennessy, calling. It didn't take Hennessy long to break the news: Rushing was getting his first call to

The defending World Series champion Dodgers own the best record in the National League (27-15) and look like a lock for their 13th consecutive playoff appearance. But that doesn't mean they can't get better. Los Angeles has gotten little production out of backup catcher Austin Barnes or their currently healthy

It was a day not to be forgotten in the Minors, with a pair of historic performances at the plate, a throwback performance on the mound and a perfectly pitched game at Double-A. Not to be outdone, some of baseball's youngest prospects showed they can stand toe-to-toe with the best

On a night in which two Top 100 prospects made noise on the mound, a 24-year-old backstop in the High-A Midwest League might have stolen the spotlight by connecting on not one but a pair of grand slams. There was no shortage of action around the Minors, including a teenager

LOS ANGELES -- One of the biggest questions the Dodgers had heading into this year was what they would get out of Roki Sasaki in his first Major League season. After two regular-season starts, the team still has a lot to learn about the 23-year-old right-hander from Japan. Sasaki didn't
