Has Recent Slowdown Hurt Franklin Arias' Chances for an MLB Debut in 2026?

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Franklin Arias has cooled recently after a strong start to his 2025 campaign at Double-A Portland, going 3-for-24 (.125) over his last seven games.

Milwaukee Brewers infield/outfield prospect Jett Williams continues to scuffle at Triple-A Nashville, going just 7-for-56 (.125) over his last 14 games for the Sounds, which includes just one extra-base hit (a triple) and one steal. It has dampened his prospects for a big league debut in the near future, but if he can turn it […]
