Daily Sheet 5/27/25: Old Prospect Breakout?

Today we have Mitch Stachnik making his Daily Sheet debut at High-A. The rest of the crew has Smada on MLB, Nate Rasmussen on Triple-A, Matt Thompson at Double-A, Grant Carver on Single-A and Rhys White on the complex.

Internally, we keep all our Daily Sheets in a running Google Doc and today we hit the character maximum. Just short of 290,000 words since the start of the season. Thanks for reading and we hope you continue to enjoy the Daily Sheet through the end of the season!

Major League Baseball

Covered by Smada

Daniel Schneemann, 2B CLE (MLB)

1-for-3, HR, R, 3 RBI

Schneemann has been a sneaky under-the-radar hitter who went from starting in 50% of games to about 80% of games a month ago. This HR was his 7th of the season across 131 PA which exceeds his 5 HR total over 221 PA last season. He’s set a new Max EV and has already doubled his barrel total from last season. You may remember Schneemann from a hot streak to begin his career last season. Nothing to get crazy excited about here, but definitely more useful at present than heading into the season.

Shohei Ohtani, DH LAD (MLB)

1-for-3, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI, 2 BB, 2 K

First in MLB to 20 HR and he did it before June. He will remain our #1 dynasty player.

🍔🍟 Max Muncy, 3B LAD (MLB)

2-for-4, HR, 2 R, 3 RBI, BB, SB

In the month of May Muncy has turned his season around hitting 3 HR with a 16.3% BB & K with a 121 wRC+. He started wearing glasses about this time. Not sure if it’s a coincidence but it certainly looks like Muncy still has some life.

Wenceel Perez, CF DET (MLB)

1-for-3, HR, R, RBI, 2 K

In his first AB of the year Wenceel pulled a lined shot for a homer. He missed time with lumbar spine inflammation that popped up in spring and only appeared in 6 rehab games before returning. Last season Perez was a just-below league average bat who hit 9 HR with 9 SB over 425 PA. He’s a decent OF4/5 in 15+ team leagues given he can stay healthy. Javier Baez has played CF for a while but he was moved over to 3B to make room for Perez.

‼️ Ranger Suarez, LHP PHI (MLB)

6 IP, 4 H, 3 BB, 8 K

Suarez started with a stinker in his first start of the season on May 4th, but since then he’s twirled 4 straight quality starts, three of which were scoreless outings. Nothing looks too different for Suarez compared to last season in terms of pitch mix and contact. He’s a pitcher who goes through peaks and valleys but in the end the final result metrics look great. Over his career 635 IP he’s got a 3.40 ERA. Unfortunately it’s back issues that have hampered him recently. He’s never hit 160 IP and wouldn’t count on him being a workhorse moving forward.

Spencer Strider, RHP ATL (MLB)

4.2 IP, H, ER, 4 BB, 7 K

Despite the velo continuing to live at 95 mph and having trouble locating the slider, Strider was able to rack of some strikeouts and get out of the game more or less unscathed. As of today, he doesn’t look like the same pitcher he was in prior seasons. Some of it is rust and getting command back, but it’s clear the velo drop is hurting him.

Kody Clemens, RF MIN (MLB)

1-for-4, HR, R, RBI, K

Clemens has been receiving strong-side platoon reps primarily at 2B while also getting starts at 1B and RF since joining the Twins at the end of April. He’s been smashing the ball with 5 HR in 68 PA. There’s not a whole lot changed under the hood, but this is really his first opportunity at playing consistently despite making appearances in every season since 2022. When the Twins get Buxton and Wallner back it’ll get more crowded but given his hot streak I’d be surprised if they don’t try and continue working him into the lineup semi-regularly.

Miguel Vargas, 1B CHW (MLB)

2-for-5, HR, 2B, R, 3 RBI, K

Vargas has been running hot in the month of May with 7 HR and a 159 wRC+ over 97 PA. Given the extreme FB% it’s unlikely he’ll ever end up with a high BABIP or BA but if he can continue to barrel balls at his current rate a 25 HR season is possible.

Jared Young, DH NYM (MLB)

2-for-5, HR, 2B, R, 3 RBI, K

After crushing Triple-A, Young was recalled by the Mets and has ben the DH in 4 straight games. It’s not entirely clear how much playing time he’ll receive, but it’s doubtful he sees any time against LHP. A nice deeper league pick up given what the metrics looked like in AAA. There’s definitely some power (115 Max EV in AAA) and plate discipline here.

💣💣 Elly De La Cruz, SS CIN (MLB)

2-for-4, 2 HR, 2B, 3 R, 2 RBI, BB, K

The Double Dong gives Elly 11 HR and 17 SB on the season, essentially pacing out (with ROS projections) to a 30/50 season. Plate discipline wise he looks to be about the same player he was last year.

👟 Matt Shaw, 3B CHC (MLB)

2-for-5, R, RBI, 2 K, 2 SB

In 8 games since the recall back to the bigs Shaw has continued to hit and rack up SB. The K% has come down and all 4 of his SB have come in these 8 games.

Cade Horton, RHP CHC (MLB)

6 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, BB, 6 K, HR allowed

Horton has been solid in his first 4 big league games but this was his first quality start of his career. We haven’t seen the same strikeouts that he’s had throughout the minor leagues but the control has been a pleasant surprise thus far. It looks like he’s just straight challenging hitters in the middle of the zone with the fastball, likely leading to the reduced K. It’ll be interesting to see if hitters adjust and end up jumping on it or if Horton can refine the command a little. I’m fine starting him in decent matchups but would be nervous trotting him out against better clubs.

💣💣 Jose Altuve, DH HOU (MLB)

4-for-4, 2 HR, 3 R, 3 RBI

Juuuust when you think Altuve might be showing his age he goes 4-for-4 with a Double Dong. However it’s true the xStats are pretty poor and he’s carried over last season’s large chase rate increase. Additionally the bat speed is dropping, highlighted even more by a cratering in his “Fast Swing Rate.” After a standout game is the best time to sell, I’d get Altuve on the block while the stat line still looks respectable.

Lawrence Butler, RF SAC (MLB)

3-for-3, HR, R, RBI

Butler was the only sign of life in the A’s lineup yesterday as he registered 3 of the 6 hits given up by Hunter Brown. He looked like he was experiencing some contact gains early in the season but gave it all back and then some. But now about a 3rd of the way through the season Butler still has 8 HR and 8 SB with a .252/.309/.451 slash. Combining last year and this year Butler has 30 HR and 26 SB over 674 PA. It’s a peaks and valleys profile and it looks like he’s headed back into a peak.

Ben Rice, DH NYY (MLB)

1-for-4, HR, R, RBI, K

Rice hit his 11th HR of the season and maintains a 141 wRC+ over 187 PA this season. He hasn’t been receiving everyday PA because of the emergence of Trent Grisham along with the presence of Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger and Jasson Dominguez. Everyone is hitting which leaves a rotation where Rice appears to be getting the shortest end of the stick. 

💣💣 Cal Raleigh, C SEA (MLB)

2-for-5, 2 HR, 2 R, 2 RBI, 2 K

The big dumber keeps on dumping. He now has 19 HR on the season, 2nd in the league behind Shohei Ohtani. There are arguments to be made that he is C1 in fantasy right now.

Triple-A

Covered by Nate Rasmussen

Trenton Brooks, 1B SD (Triple-A)

4-for-5, HR, 2B, 3 R, 2 RBI

Trenton Brooks is approaching 30, so despite his prospect eligibility being intact, he isn’t quite the typical prospect. He is performing great this year, similarly to how he did last year before getting a short cup of coffee with the Giants at the end of 2024. I could see Brooks being a viable option in the Padres' outfield before the trade deadline, but he’s primarily played 1B rather than his previous outfield position this year.

Tirso Ornelas, LF SD (Triple-A)

2-for-5, HR, 2B, R, 4 RBI, K

Here’s the other option for the Padres' outfield situation. It is likely a fact at this point that the Padres will trade for an outfielder at the deadline or sooner, but Tirso Ornelas is my favorite in-house option at this point. I thought Ornelas might break camp with the team this spring, but he’s performed well enough in Triple-A this year to get some big league PAs until another move can be made.

💣💣 Alex Freeland, SS LAD (Triple-A)

3-for-5, 2 HR, 5 RBI

I suppose covering Triple-A is mostly just speculating on call ups nowadays. Alex Freeland being on the Dodgers stinks, but he could still work his way into the big leagues at some point this year. It would likely take a left side of the infield injury for this to happen, but its surely possible. Freeland will, without a doubt, be the next big-name Dodgers prospect to debut in the MLB. Alex is up to 6 homers on the year after his double-dong today, putting him in the above-average bat range while playing good to great defense at shortstop.

JJ Bleday, CF ATH (Triple-A)

2-for-4, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI, BB, K

JJ Bleday was demoted to Triple-A recently in a surprising turn of events. Bleday was certainly playing worse than typical, but was still at an 86 wRC+ with 6 home runs on the year. The defense had taken a step back as well. While Denzel Clarke will be an electric factory in Sacramento, I can’t imagine Bleday won’t earn some corner outfield playing time at the least soon enough. I expect this Triple-A stint to be a short one for JJ. 

Harry Ford, C SEA (Triple-A)

2-for-5, R, 2 RBI, K

I’m starting to think the Mariners should call up Harry Ford regardless of whether they choose to DFA Mitch Garver. Garver can provide value as a short-side platoon against DHs still, but I think Ford has shown too much talent at Triple-A not to give him a shot in the MLB. Cal Raleigh could also really use a break behind the plate, something Mitch Garver is not skilled at.

💣💣 Ryan Ritter, SS COL (Triple-A)

3-for-5, 2 HR, 2 R, 3 RBI, K

Ryan Ritter hasn’t skipped a beat in his 2025 promotion to Triple-A, hitting his 13th and 14th home runs on the year yesterday. Ritter will probably end up at third base for the Rockies after the trade deadline, but I suppose it’s the Rockies, so who knows. Regardless, I’m a really big fan of the improvements Ritter has made, showing way more power this year with a good enough hit tool.

Jesus Rodriguez, 3B NYY (Triple-A)

3-for-5, RBI

Jesus Rodriguez is quietly tearing through Triple-A this year and is a J.C. Escarra slump away from the big leagues, most likely. Rodriguez has a 160 wRC+ with just a .103 ISO, not super indicative of future success, but even with regression, Rodriguez looks like a net positive with the bat. Rodriguez’s third base versatility makes him even more valuable for the Yankees, given the current state of their roster. 

Roman Anthony, LF BOS (Triple-A)

1-for-4, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI, BB

Here’s your daily Roman Anthony check-in. All looks good in Worcester, but I imagine Anthony is a bit lonely without Marcelo Mayer hanging around anymore.

🔜 Parker Meadows, CF DET (Triple-A)

3-for-5, 3B, 2B, 2 R, 3 RBI, SB

Detroit is getting a potential difference-maker back in Parker Meadows here soon. Meadows is a really good defender in center field, but also made some substantial adjustments with the bat in the second half last year that look to be carrying over into his late start to 2025. 

Kyle Teel, C CHW (Triple-A)

2-for-5, 2B, R, RBI, 2 K

Kyle Teel is super close to a 3/4/5 slashline in Triple-A, which should probably be recognized more. He and Quero will make one of the most fun catching tandems in the league here soon, which is one of the few bright spots for the South Side of Chicago.

Alan Roden, LF TOR (Triple-A)

3-for-4, 2 2B, 2 R, RBI, BB

The biggest surprise for Alan Roden in the MLB this year is that his power just dropped off the face of the earth. I can understand the strikeout to walk rate regressing against MLB competition, but I thought Roden would hit for some more power, which he’s shown can be above average throughout his minor league career. Given Toronto’s roster construction, I’d expect him to get some more runway in the bigs this season so the Jays can figure out what they’ve got in Alan. 

Double-A

Covered by Matt Thompson

Aidan Miller, SS PHI (Double-A) 

0-for-4, K

Admittedly a weird way to leadoff the sheet, but I just wanted to highlight Miller for a second. He’s struggling offensively, hitting .224/.321/.333 but he does have four homers and 15 steals. Miller is still 50/50 for me that he sticks at short, but he’s looked impressive at times over there. I expected a little more offensively from the Reading Launching pad. His stock is down but he should still fit in somewhere on the back half of the top 100.

Kahlil Watson, OF CLE (Double-A) 

4-for-5, 2 2B, R, 3 RBI, K

Watson is hitting a very solid .273/.362/.505 this year with three homers and five steals. The move to the outfield full-time has already happened and he hasn’t played the infield at all this year, perhaps ending the super utility experiment we saw last season. Watson is a fantastic athlete and someone worth paying attention to. Lets get him to Triple-A

Rodney Boone, SP CLE (Double-A) 

5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K

If Boone threw a few ticks harder he would be getting so much buzz right now. Unfortunately he’s more 89-91 but he has a ton of movement. His changeup is awesome, almost moving like a cutter with drop. He has six starts this year where he has allowed zero earned runs. His ERA in 42 innings of work sits at 2.14.

👟 Cole Carrigg, OF COL (Double-A) 

2-for-3, 2 R, BB, 2 SB

There are a lot of parallels to Kahlil Watson here. Carrigg had a fantastic season last year, finishing with 16 doubles, 14 triples, 17 homers, 53 steals and a .283/.359/.491 line. He can play all over, but has been outfield only this year, and he also switch hits. Carrigg should be in top 100 discussions for fantasy, and honestly his best real life skills might be his ability to run balls down in centerfield. He plays reckless and has maybe not been the easiest guy to deal with at times, but Carrigg can play. Make sure he’s not available in your leagues.

Kade Morris, SP ATH (Double-A) 

6.2 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 5 K

Morris is out here living his best life until he gets promoted to Las Vegas, which might be the worst place to pitch in Triple-A, although Albuquerque is also in that discussion. Morris has plus command but lacks a little in the stuff department, which could make things difficult there. The former Met has a chance to be a backend starter in the big leagues.

💣💣 Kyler Fedko, OF MIN (Double-A) 

3-for-4, 2 HR, 3 R, 4 RBI, BB, K

Breakout prospect alert!!!! Fedko is hitting .278/.410/.556 in Double-A this year with a strong 26% line drive rate. He is tied for the league lead in homers with ten, and has nearly as many walks as he does strikeouts. I believe in what we are seeing here, but the fact that he’s been so much better this year compared to his past across the board is a little scary, but I’m still recommending him as an add in your leagues with 200+ prospects rostered. He is 25 in Double-A, but he’s had some injury shortened seasons along the way. He would have to be added to the 40-man roster after the season or he can get selected in the Rule Five draft.

Abimelec Ortiz, DH TEX (Double-A) 

2-for-4, HR, 2 RBI, BB

He’s coming off Texas League Player of the Week honors and celebrates with his 7th homer of the season. His .250/.341/.438 line is 16% above average for the league, and the power here is real. I have some questions about the rest of the tool set here though, and I’m not sure if it works or not. Prime trade chip IMO.

High-A

Covered by Mitch Stachnik

Tommy White, 3B ATH (High-A) 

3-for-5, HR, 2B, R, RBI

Tanks is rolling through the High-A level. With concerns of his hit tool, White is proving those doubters wrong batting .317 and knocking his 6th home run of the season on Tuesday. Additionally he is holding his own at third base as that will need to be his home with the success of Nick Kurtz at the big league level. I wouldn't be surprised if a call up to Double-A may be coming in the next month. 

Josue De Paula, RF LAD (High-A) 

3-for-3, HR, 2 R, RBI, BB 

De Paula is part of one of the best minor league outfields in all of the MiLB, alongside Zyhir Hope and Mike Sirota. I was lucky enough to get a live look at De Paula last week with the Great Lakes Loons and came away impressed. Yesterday, De Paula smoked a line drive that kept carrying and cleared the wall for his 8th home run of the year. His offensive profile is what makes him such a highly regarded prospect and so far he is meeting his high expectations. 

Arjun Nimmala, SS TOR (High-A) 

3-for-6, 2B, R, RBI, SB

Nimmala looks bound to shoot up in the top 25 of prospect rankings in the near future. At only 19 years old in High-A,  he has a .293 BA, 9 home runs and playing good defense at shortstop. Nimmala was one of the top prep prospects coming into the 2023 draft and used his cricket background to be successful in baseball. He slid to the 20th pick in that draft and I'm sure there are more than a few teams kicking themselves for passing up on a prospect with a very high ceiling. With Bo Bicette in the last year of his contract with the Blue Jays, the team might have to accelerate Nimmala's timeline.  

‼️ Alex Clemmey, SP WAS (High-A) 

6.0 IP, 2H, 0 ER, 9k

With six scoreless innings and 9 strikeouts Clemmey had one of the best performances of all the starters in High-A on Tuesday. He was the headlining prospect in the trade that sent Lane Thomas to the Guardians. As a hard throwing left handed pitching prospect, Clemmey provides a valuable profile. He utilized the high heat to finish off almost all of his strikeout victims. He also has a very good slider that can make left-handed hitters look silly chasing the pitch away. 

🍔🍟 Seaver King, SS WSH (High-A) 

3-for-5, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI, SB

It’s still early, but some Nationals fans may be wondering if the team would have been better off selecting Bryce Rainier or Braden Montgomery with the 10th pick in the 2024 draft. However, King is beginning to show why the Nationals felt confident taking him over the other options. Last night, he flashed both his power and speed with a home run and a stolen base. Even when he isn’t producing at the plate, King brings value with his above-average defense at shortstop and has the athletic ability to play center field if called upon. 

🚑 Josue Briceño, C DET (High-A) 

1-for-2, HR, 2R, 3 RBI, BB

I was also lucky enough to see Briceño in person last week and witnessed the AFL triple crown winners hitting prowess. He continued to showcase his carrying tool on Tuesday evening, putting a home run into the seats, his 8th of the season. He also threw out two runners trying to steal. Unfortunately, he was injured on a follow through swing behind the plate and had to exit the game. With his injury history and large 6'4" frame, the Tigers may consider switching him to first base and accelerate his development in the minor leagues. However, he would have the most value as an offensive minded catcher. 

Jefferson Rojas, 2B CHC (High-A) 

2-for-5, 2 3B, R, K

With most of the Cubs farm system talent in the upper minors Rojas may soon be the teams number 1 prospect. Since signing for $1 Million in 2022 IFA market Rojas has been challenged against older competition. At only 20 Rojas, is one of the better hitters in the Midwest League batting .298 a third of the way into the season. He has the ability to hit the ball pitched anywhere, with high contact percentages in and out of the zone. Last night, Rojas showcased some speed on the basepaths, hitting two triples. 

Leo Balcazar, SS CIN (High-A) 

3-for-5, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI, K 

Balcazar is helping himself stand out among a loaded crop of Reds shortstop prospects, which includes Sammy Stafura, Edwin Arroyo, and the 119 mph exit velocity man himself, Tyson Lewis. Balcazar signed for just $100,000 in the 2021 international free agent class and is already proving he was worth much more. After tearing his ACL in 2023, he now appears fully recovered, batting .265 so far this season. Tuesday, he launched his fourth home run of the year. While he’ll need to continue developing his power regardless, it will become even more crucial if a move to second base is in his future. 

‼️ Leandro Lopez, SP TEX (High-A) 

5.2 IP, 2H, 0 ER, BB, 8 K

Lopez from what I can find has not had much prospect pedigree but is off to a great start this year at 22 years old in High-A. He has a 1.95 ERA with 43 punch outs in 37 innings of work this year. He sits in the mid 90’s with his fastball and has a diving swing and miss splitter to go along with it. Lopez had a solid performance with 14 swings and misses and 8 strikeouts to go with it over 5.2 innings. 

Blake Burke, 1B MIL (High-A) 

3-for-5, 2B, RBI, K

Last night, Burke sent the Timber Rattler faithful home happy with a walk-off single in the bottom of the 9th. Selected 34th overall by the Brewers in the 2024 draft out of Tennessee (Comp A pick), Burke was chosen for his ability with the bat. So far this season, he’s batting .295, and recently saw a 25-game on-base streak come to an end, which showcased his strong plate discipline. However, with only 3 homers this year need to be able to tap into more power. It's not bad, but it's a bit underwhelming for a player limited to first base defensively.

Danny De Andrade, DH MIN (High-A) 

2-for-4, HR, 3B, RBI

De Andrade was viewed very highly in the 2021 IFA class and that's why the twins decided to give him $2.2 million to sign with them. So far he hasn't quite met up to those high expectations that kind of payday would expect but at only 21 he has time to still develop. Yesterday, he had a homer and a triple, the hard parts of the cycle.

Single-A

Covered by Grant Carver

Dante Nori, CF PHI (Single-A)

2-for-5, 3B, R, 2 RBI, K

Nori is a profile that I tend to buy into. Plus speed at a minimum, all the tools to be a plus center fielder and he is flashing elite bat to ball skills so far in 2025. An 88.8% Z-Contact percentage is very impressive, and he also shows a good ability to lay off outside of the zone. There are absolutely impact questions due to the lack of size or projection, and the bat needs more than just contact ability eventually, but the rest of the tools look really good. 

Aroon Escobar, 2B PHI (Single-A)

3-for-5, 2 R, SB

Escobar keeps chugging along and he is firmly a T100 prospect in my eyes. The power will likely regress a bit, but he has it in there and these flashes at his age is very impressive. Combined with the impressive approach and elite bat-to-ball skills, and Escobars stock will continue to rise.

Luis Pino, LF STL (Single-A)

1-for-2, HR, 2 BB, K

Solid night at the office for the Cardinals outfielder. He’s having a solid season, but the underlying data shows some rough spots. He still strikes out and whiffs far too often, and until he makes some progress there he is not a guy to watch too hard.

Tink Hence, RHP STL (Single-A)

2.1 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, K

Second rehab start for Hence and it was better than the first. I’ve liked Hence for a while and the secondaries are still really easy to love. But at some point, he has to show he can stay healthy. There’s more reliever risk than I had thought previously, but I'll still buy the dip. The stuff and upside is that good.

🍔🍟 Caleb Bonemer, SS CHW (Single-A)

3-for-4, 2B, HR, 3 RBI, BB, K, SB

Bonemer went 42nd overall in last year's draft, and it’s a pick I really liked for the Sox. He’s a little too patient in the zone, but he makes good contact and has above average raw power. He should stay on the left side of the infield too, which makes it a very attractive profile. The power upside, solid hit tool and chance to stay at shortstop are all good reasons to buy in.

Slade Caldwell, CF ARI (Single-A)

3-for-5, R, RBI, SB

Solid night for Caldwell, who has had an encouraging and weird season so far. The encouraging part is the plate discipline and the hit tool looks solid. The weird part is that he rarely swings and is so overly passive that it’s hurt his strikeout rate. Will be interesting to see how the numbers shake out once he changes his approach, because swinging 29% of the time is just not sustainable. 

Robert Calaz, CF COL (Single-A)

3-for-5, HR, K

Absolutely destroyed this ball for a reported 436 feet. The power is still there this season for Calaz, but the hit tool has yet to show much improvement. The bat to ball skills are poor and he chases way too much still. He’s still only 19 so he has time to fix the hit tool, but the risk here is big. One of the biggest boom or bust guys in the minors.

Eduardo Quintero, CF LAD (Single-A)

2-for-3, 2B, 2 R, 3 RBI, 2 BB, SB

Another good night for Quintero, who is having a very productive season thus far. The power outbreak has been legit, and it makes the struggling hit tool less of a concern. He needs to refine the approach and improve the bat-to-ball skills, but the combination of speed, defense, and power upside that he’s showing this year make the hype worthwhile.

Complex League Baseball

Covered by Rhys White

Eddie Rynders, 3B PIT (Complex)

1-for-3, R, 2 RBI

Richard Ramirez, C PIT (Complex)

2-for-3, 2B, R, 2 RBI 

The complex contingent of the Pirates is rather intriguing. Eddie still has plenty of power and speed, but he is not making a ton of contact, which, as we know, really hurts the overall profile. I still roster him in one of the leagues I care about because I still believe in him working on his plate skills. Richard Ramirez is an interesting young catching prospect who is hitting well despite his 30% strikeout rate. He is walking almost 14% of the time, so there is some safety in this three true-outcome sort of profile. I am a fan of Richard Ramirez; I think there is a chance he could be a breakout prospect in 2026.

‼️ Reinold Navarro, LHP PIT (Complex)

4 IP, BB, 8 K 

Reinold is the next in a long line of young Pirates pitching prospects that I will absolutely love. There is a good fastball here, from what I have heard, with a good slider. Outside of this outing, he does tend to issue walks, which makes me think he could transition to the bullpen and be nasty.

Javier Osorio, 2B DET (Complex)

3-for-5, HR, 2B, 2 R, 3 RBI 

Is Javier Osorio a touch old for the competition he is facing? Yes, he is. But that doesn’t take away from what he is doing. Sometimes it takes prospects a while to figure things out, and the Tigers player development group has gotten better. Osorio would be appropriate for Single-A, which feels like it could happen when the Tigers promote several players to the next level. If Rainer gets promoted to High-A, look for Osorio to get bumped up.

Edward Lantigua, RF NYM (Complex)

3-for-4, RBI 

Lantigua was someone I really liked when I covered the DSL last year. There is enough potential here; maybe his power ceiling is closer to 18-20 home runs, but everything else might be good enough to be fantasy relevant. He has a good approach, which helps everything else. He could steal a few bases, hit for some power, and be a decent deep league option.

Rainiel Rodriguez, C STL (Complex)

3-for-5, 2 2B, 2 R, 2 RBI

A double-scoop of doubles for Rainiel Rodriguez, who continues to hit well in the Complex League. Single-A is calling his name. Rainiel is hitting .408/.544/.939 with 7 homers, and we aren’t even halfway through the complex season. Rainiel Rodriguez seriously needs to be bumped up because his bat is ready for Single-A.

Adam Macko, LHP TOR (Complex)

3 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 4 K 

I still believe Macko can be a valuable asset for the Blue Jays. He could develop into a good high-leverage reliever capable of pitching an inning or two.

👟 Nate George, RF BAL (Complex)

2-for-4, 2 R, 2 SB

This is your regularly scheduled Kendall George mention on the Daily Sheet.

Jhonayker Ugarte, 3B KC (Complex)

2-for-5, 2B, R, RBI

Ugarte is bouncing back after a rough start to his debut stateside. He has plenty of power, and when he is right, the ingredients are there to become a future top 100 prospect. He has above-average raw power, but his swing decisions can be a bit raw. Ugarte is one of my favorites at this level.

Tyson Lewis, SS CIN (Complex)

1-for-4, R, RBI

Lewis is yet another one who maybe needs to be promoted to Single-A; take a drink of your beverage of choice every time I mention that on this sheet. Lewis’s power is pretty crazy, and while I think that he might ultimately move over to third base, there is no denying that he at least has double-plus raw power in the tank. And that sort of power in Great American Ballpark could be fantasy gold.
