Jordan Lawlar (D-backs) didn't look like he's missed many beats since returning from injury, capping his comeback with his first long ball since June 17. Top 100 prospects Bryce Eldridge (Giants), Jesús Made (Brewers) and Spencer Jones (Yankees) also went deep while a pair of 2025 Draft picks -- Ike Irish (Orioles) and Mason Neville (Reds) -- circled the bases for the first time as pros.
Jordan Lawlar, INF, Reno (AZ No. 1/MLB No. 23)
Lawlar's 11th long ball of the season gave him hits in all five games he's played in for Triple-A Reno since returning from the IL on Aug. 14. The 23-year-old suffered a right hamstring strain and missed nearly two months -- he had last gone yard on June 17 before being sidelined on June 25. But he's come back strong, going 6-for-21 (.286) with three extra-base hits and a .967 OPS. Gameday
Jesús Made, SS, Wisconsin (MIL No. 1/MLB No. 5)
Made's impressive start to his High-A tenure continued with his second homer for Wisconsin, a two-run jack that highlighted a strong night for the 18-year-old. Made swiped a base and added a single and a walk to boost his slash line to .364/.441/.635 in 13 games for the Timber Rattlers. The switch-hitter has been impressive during his first full season, compiling an .804 OPS and 41 stolen bases in 96 contests across two Minor League levels. Gameday
Bryce Eldridge, 1B, Sacramento (SF No. 1/MLB No. 13)
Eldridge snapped a seven-game homerless drought with lucky No. 13 for Triple-A Sacramento, a three-run clout that went 426 feet and gave him six long balls and 19 RBIs this month. Despite two separate stints on the IL, the 20-year-old has reached the 20-homer mark for the second consecutive season after belting a career-high 23 last season. Gameday

Aidan Miller, SS, Reading (PHI No. 2/MLB No. 48)
Miller stayed hot this month, doubling twice and reaching base four times out of the leadoff spot during a three-hit night for Double-A Reading. Philadelphia's first-round pick in 2023 is slashing .338/.425/.574 with 17 runs scored, 12 extra-base hits and 10 RBIs in August after struggling in July. Miller has hit safely in 13 of the 16 games he's played, including eight multihit performances. Gameday
Spencer Jones, OF, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (NYY No. 4/MLB No. 91)
Jones snapped out of an extended power drought with authority, blasting his 31st roundtripper 443 feet at 111.2 mph for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 24-year-old had gone deep just once in his previous 18 contests after homering six times over a seven-game span in late July. Jones' tater moved him into a tie for the Minor League lead with Triple-A Oklahoma City's Ryan Ward and pushed his OPS to .989. Gameday
Ike Irish, C/OF, Delmarva (BAL No. 2)
Irish might be just six games into his pro career, but he's already proving worthy of being the 19th overall pick in last month's Draft. The Auburn product launched his first homer, giving him hits in all of the games he's played in since debuting for Single-A Delmarva on Aug. 12. Irish is off to a 9-for-24 (.346) start with two extra-base hits and six RBIs. Gameday
Miguel Ullola, RHP, Sugar Land (HOU No. 5)
Ullola turned in his best performance in exactly a month, which was also the last time he didn't allow a run for Triple-A Sugar Land. The native of the Dominican Republic completed six scoreless innings for the first time this season, striking out five and working around a leadoff double in his final frame to keep his line clean. Ullola's 3.83 ERA is his lowest since 2022 (3.25) and he's holding opponents to a .191 average with 109 punchouts in 89 1/3 innings. Gameday
Jimmy Crooks, C, Memphis (STL No. 6)
Crooks doubled twice and equaled a career high with four hits while extending his hitting streak to nine games for Triple-A Memphis. The 24-year-old backstop has been one of the Minors' top hitters in August, slashing .375/.437/.531 with six extra-base hits and 12 RBIs. Crooks, who has hit safely in 15 of 16 contests this month, has a .778 OPS and has already established personal bests in homers (13) and RBIs (75) this season. Gameday
Mason Neville, OF, Daytona (CIN No. 13)
Neville's first pro homer highlighted another four-hit performance, the second in five games for the 2025 fourth-round pick. Neville's three-run jack was the focal point, but the Oregon product also doubled twice and walked, giving him a .364/.432/.697 slash line in his first 10 games for Single-A Daytona. Gameday
