PROSPECT: Dominic Canzone, OF, Arizona Diamondbacks
ANALYSIS: If only the Arizona Diamondbacks didn't have so many damn outfielders that have already debuted or are Major League ready. We joke about how Christian Encarnacion-Strand has been mashing and needs to be freed from Triple-A, but Dominic Canzone has been even better in the month of June, slashing a ridiculous .427/.474/.794 with eight doubles and five home runs in 18 games. He's also only struck out in 15.4% of his plate appearances this month and 13% for the season.
But even with Canzone's dominance, there's no spot for him as Alek Thomas was recently recalled, Jake McCarthy is hitting well since being recalled a month ago, and the other outfield spot is occupied by the fantasy stud, Corbin Carroll.
VERDICT: At this point, it will take an injury or slump from McCarthy or Thomas for Canzone to get the call most likely.
