Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Yunior Garcia, 21, was signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2017. He has a solid outfield profile, checking in at 6-foot and 198 pounds.

Jaden Hill Makes Single-A Debut

Colorado Rockies pitching prospect Jaden Hill didn't make his professional debut until last month due to injury, a full year after the club made him a second-round pick.

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Jordan Walker, who checks in at 6-foot-5, is a physical specimen and offers upside in all five aspects of the game.

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung was the club's first-round pick in 2019 and has quickly earned the title of No. 1 prospect in the Texas system.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton didn't play in the second preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday after being limited all week with an undisclosed soft-tissue injury that he suffered in the preseason opener.

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) ramped up his work at training camp practice last week as he recovers from a torn Achilles, and it looks like he will be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list before the start of the regular season. If Shepard doesn't come off the PUP list […]

Kenny Golladay Has Been Invisible

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay played 21 offensive snaps in Sunday's preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals and didn't receive a single target.
