Austin Hays To Remain In A Walking Boot

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Austin Hays (ankle) will remain in a walking boot for at least two weeks.

Hays struggled in spring training and began the year with Triple-A Bowie. Hays consistently hit for […]

Kyle Tucker Has Another Three-Hit Game

Houston Astros outfield prospect Kyle Tucker had his second three-hit game in three days for Triple-A Fresno on Wednesday. Tucker remains one of the better offensive prospects in the game, but will likely remain in Triple-A as the Astros have no holes on their current roster that would give Tucker everyday at-bats. Tucker is currently […]

Willie Calhoun Starting To Heat Up

Texas Rangers outfield prospect Willie Calhoun is beginning to heat up after a slow start to his season for Triple-A Round Rock. Calhoun is hitting .424 over his last 33 at-bats and that includes back-to-back three-hit games.

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 11)

The Tampa Bay Rays decided to call up their entire minor league system this past week. Well, not their entire team, but three notable prospects all got the call this past week and if they sell off the rest of their team, which seems not unlikely, we could see more minor leaguers come up in […]

Nomar Mazara Returned To Rangers Lineup Wednesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara (illness) was back in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers. Mazara was 0-for-5 with one strikeout in his return, but the fact the Rangers chose to put him out there is a good sign.
