Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Gregory Soto has enjoyed a strong stretch of results and is beginning to emerge as the primary late-inning option for the Pirates.

Is Jonah Tong Nearing a Return to the Major Leagues?

New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Jonah Tong appears to be nearing a return to the major leagues, given the current state of their rotation.

Thomas White Entering Elite Stash Territory?

Miami Marlins left-handed pitching prospect Thomas White continues to emerge as an elite stash option in standard formats.

Braxton Garrett Not in Contention to Earn MLB Promotion?

According to Fish on First, Miami Marlins left-handed pitcher Braxton Garrett is still listed to start on Tuesday evening for Triple-A Jacksonville, which could prevent him from replacing Chris Paddack in the MLB rotation on Friday.

Max Clark Hits Brief Skid at Triple-A Toledo, Still Holding Elite Stash Value?

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark has been swinging a cold bat at Triple-A over the last two weeks, but still holds a high-end stash value among the top hitting prospects.

Ryan Waldschmidt Still Worth Stashing Amid Triple-A Skid?

Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt has hit a bit of a skid at Triple-A and has seen his value as a top hitting prospect to stash decline slightly.

Colt Emerson on the Verge of MLB Debut?

Seattle Mariners shortstop prospect Colt Emerson continues to find success at the top level of the Seattle system and remains a high-end hitting prospect to stash in all formats. Over the last seven games at Triple-A Tacoma, Emerson has gone deep twice while swiping one bag with a 12:5 K:BB. Overall, the team's No. 1-ranked […]

Marlins Demote Agustin Ramirez to Triple-A

The Miami Marlins have demoted catcher Agustin Ramirez to Triple-A Jacksonville, according to Craig Mish.
