Carson Williams Getting Called Up From Triple-A for MLB Debut

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop prospect Carson Williams is getting called up for his major-league debut.

Detroit Tigers infield prospect Kevin McGonigle continued to show why he's shot up the prospect ranks over the last two seasons, going 2-for-4 at Double-A Erie on Tuesday, including a double, a solo home run, and two runs scored. It was his fifth home run in his last six games and, impressively, it came off […]


Ty Madden Not Expected to Pitch This Season

Luis Guanipa Hits Single-A Injured List Again

Atlanta Braves outfield prospect Luis Guanipa (undisclosed) was placed on the Single-A 7-day injured list on Monday.
