8/30Edmundo Sosa, SS, Cardinals (AAA Memphis): 1-2, HR, BB Sosa isn’t talked about much, but at 22 he’s already put up almost 200 plate appearances in Triple-A of solid offensive production at shortstop. This season, he’s managed a .271/.333/.400 line between Double-A and Triple-A while having the reputation as a quality defender. A.J. Alexy, RHP,...

8/29Hitter of the Day Bo Bichette, SS, Double-A, Toronto Blue Jays: 3-5, 2 R, 2 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 SO Bichette has faced his adversity this season, as he does not need to turn too far to hear about other prospects performing exceptionally well.

8/28Gabriel Arias, SS, Padres (Full Season A Fort Wayne): 5-6, 2B, 3B, HR, 5 RBI Well look at that, Arias hit for the cycle. It doesn’t get much better than that to top off a Minor League Update.

8/23Kyle Tucker, RF, Astros (AAA Fresno): 3-4, 2 HR, BB, SB Tucker had about as good of a night as you can have with nine total bases. Him mashing through the minors is nothing new and it probably won’t be too long until he’s doing the same damage to MLB arms. Tucker is one of,...

8/21Nolan Gorman, 3B, Cardinals (Full Season A Peoria): 2-3, 2 HR, BB, 3 RBI Many pre-draft mocks and analysis pieces expected Gorman to go very early in the first round. I was among those surprised when he dropped past the 10-15 range and was ultimately drafted 19th overall. The road is still long, but the...

8/20Prospect of the Weekend Aaron Ashby, LHP, Brewers (Low-A, Wisconsin): 6 IP, 4 H, R/ER, 2 BB, 10 K, HR.

8/16Alex Kirilloff, RF, Twins (Advanced A Fort Myers): 4-4, 2 2B Alex Kirilloff is showing exactly why he was picked 15th overall in the 2016 draft.
