Blake Mitchell Begins Rehab Assignment
Kansas City Royals catching prospect Blake Mitchell (wrist) began a rehab assignment on Monday with the team's Arizona Complex League affiliate, going 1-for-2 with a walk and two stolen bases. The Royals' second-ranked prospect is recovering from a broken hamate bone and will likely be assigned to High-A once he's done rehabbing, which is where he finished last season. The former eighth-overall draft pick spent most of 2024 at Single-A, slashing .238/.376/.439 with 18 home runs and a 17.0 percent walk rate. Look for the 6-foot-1 backstop to make a push towards Double-A by season's end, but the left-handed hitter is still a couple of years away from the majors. Still, at just 20 years old and a first-round pedigree, he's a name to keep an eye on in dynasty leagues.
