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.

The first day of July featured some early holiday fireworks, including a pair of Top 100 prospects tallying multihomer games at Triple-A.

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,

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.
