Minnesota Twins right-handed pitching prospect C.J. Culpepper has been quite impressive since returning from the 60-day IL at Double-A Wichita.

Houston Astros pitching prospect Miguel Ullola owns the second-highest walk rate in Triple-A at 15.8 percent, but has limited damage otherwise and holds a 3.80 ERA in 64 innings as we head into the second half.
