Jefferson Rojas Tallies Three Hits, Extends Hitting Streak To Seven Games
Jefferson Rojas went 3-for-4 during Tuesday's contest against High-A Fort Wayne. This performance also extended his current hitting streak to seven games. During this stretch, the No. 7-ranked prospect in the Cubs system has posted an impressive .429/.452/.750 slash line with a double, a triple, two home runs, and three stolen bases. Through the first 17 games of the High-A regular season, Rojas has been quite productive, holding a .288/.368/.455 slash line. Last summer, Rojas spent most of his time at High-A and has shown consistent progression. Fantasy managers should expect the 20-year-old to get the call to Double-A in the coming weeks, especially if he continues to swing a hot bat. Rojas remains on track for a 2026 MLB debut.Source: MiLB.com
Chicago Cubs infield prospect Travis Bazzana Tallies Two Hits, Swipes Two Bags
Travis Bazzana went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases during their contest against Double-A Somerset on Tuesday evening. Bazzana has begun to find his footing following a slow start to the campaign. Over his last eight games, the former No. 1 overall pick from last year's draft has posted .242/.306/.455 slash line with a double, two home runs, and three stolen bases. However, during his first 18 games of the Double-A regular season, the Oregon State product held a .239 AVG with a mere .380 SLG. After last year's draft, the Guardians assigned Bazzana to High-A Lake County, where he posted a .238/.269/.396 slash line with seven doubles and three home runs. Given his slow start to the season, fantasy managers should not expect Bazzana to contend for an early MLB debut.Source: MiLB.com

Before his slump, Stewart swung a hot bat as he held a .313/.389/.475 slash line with seven doubles, two home runs, 13 RBI, and nine stolen bases over the first 21 games of the regular season. Stewart spent his entire 2024 campaign at High-A Dayton and is looking quite comfortable during his first taste of Double-A action. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the No. 81-ranked prospect in the sport as he could eventually earn a late-season promotion to Triple-A.Source: MiLB.com
Cincinnati Reds infield prospect George Lombard Jr. Tallies Hit In Double-A Debut

Last summer, Lombard received his first look at High-A but posted a modest .226/.321/.296 slash line. Given his steady progress, fantasy managers should continue to closely monitor his progression at Double-A. The No. 2-ranked prospect in Bronx could even push for a late-season taste of Triple-A if he continues to produce.Source: MiLB.com
