Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes is fitting in just fine at Triple-A Tacoma, slashing .279/.361/.581 with 10 home runs in just 33 games for the Rainiers. His 35 home runs, spread across two levels, are the second-most in the minors this season. Although there is a lot of swing-and-miss in his profile, solid walk […]

Cleveland Guardians catcher/outfield prospect Cooper Ingle has gone from one extreme to the other at the plate, and after hitting .425 (34-for-80) in the 19 games since being sent back to Triple-A, he's now batting .129 (4-for-31) over his last nine contests. That hasn't stopped the Guardians' third-ranked prospect from getting on base, though, as […]

Boston Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said that the team is preparing to deploy outfielder Roman Anthony (finger) as a leadoff hitter once he returns from injury, per Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe.

Bellinger thinks he will play at least one more game after that, but it is still undetermined. If Bellinger avoids any setbacks with his hamstring, he could rejoin the big-league […]

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman is scuffling in August at Triple-A Jacksonville, going 6-for-43 (.140) in 12 games with a sky-high 37.5 percent strikeout rate.
