A sampling of today's 70+ prospect notes available to subscribers:
Hitters
2 Kris Bryant CHC 3B A 1.160 OPS gets him to AAA, one step closer to taking over 3B or a corner OF slot in Chicago.
3 Gregory Polanco PIT OF A 5-hit game highlights his massive upside. Should be a fixture in RF for a long time.
4 Oscar Taveras STL OF A .189 BA in 37 AB gets him shipped back to AAA. Will return soon we would think.
5 Carlos Correa HOU SS A Surprising .172 BA vs. LHP (he hits RH) but overall .329/.421/.502 with 20 SB.
6 Addison Russell OAK SS A 1-for-4 in return from hamstring injury. Just 27 AB (9 H) all year.
7 Javier Baez CHC SS A Just when it seems he's about to go on a tear, he falls back to Earth. .208 in June.
8 Joc Pederson LAD OF A- 6-for-17 with a HR in last 5 games after a slow start to June.
9 Corey Seager LAD SS A- .386 with 4 HR in last 10 games and with a .990 OPS, a AA test may be in order.
10 Francisco Lindor CLE SS A- At least a .278 BA each month this year. 4 HR, 19 SB, .366 OBP overall.
12 Joey Gallo TEX 1B A- And we thought AA would be a challenge - .300/.462/.733 there so far.
Pitchers
2 Taijuan Walker SEA SP A 1 ER in 6.2 IP for Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday so should be back up shortly.
3 Andrew Heaney MIA SP A Making big league debut on Thursday. Talent to stick for the year.
5 Dylan Bundy BAL SP A First rehab start went better than expected: 5 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 K.
6 Jonathan Gray COL SP A- 10 IP, 0 ER, 5 H, 12:3 K:BB in last 2 starts. Call could come any day now.
7 Robert Stephenson CIN SP A- 7 BB in 3 IP in last start takes BB/9 up to 4.9. Upside still high, but plenty of seasoning left.
8 Hunter Harvey BAL SP A- 11 ER and 6 BB in last 2 starts over last 6.2 innings, so perhaps tiring?
9 Brady Aiken HOU SP A- #1 overall pick would be #1 prospect in most organizations. Lefty with #1 starter upside.
10 Tyler Kolek MIA SP A- Already 6'5" throwing in the mid-90s. Last time org took HS arm #2 overall - Josh Beckett.
13 Henry Owens BOS SP B+ Control continuing to improve - 1.9 BB/9 in last four starts. 3.8 overall.
15 C.J. Edwards CHC SP B+ Last update we could find was on 6/3 - MRI on sore shoulder was negative.
