Two members of the Columbus Clippers have been named as participants in this year's edition of the prestigious Arizona Fall League.
Right-handed pitcher Aaron Davenport will play in Arizona as he returns from an injury that has sidelined him for the entire 2026 regular season. Infielder Tyresse Turner, who made his Triple-A debut with the Clippers earlier this month, is also headed to Arizona this fall.
Major League Baseball has announced the rosters for the 2026 Arizona Fall League (AFL) season. Featuring 12 of MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 prospects and 75 organizational Top 30 prospects, the season begins with AFL Opening Day on Saturday, Oct. 3, with the league’s first game showcasing the Salt River Rafters at Glendale Desert Dogs at 12:30 p.m. Arizona local time.
AFL rosters this season include five players who represented their organizations in the 2026 MLB All-Star Futures Game presented by Nike: Quintero (Dodgers), Bonemer (White Sox), Flewelling (Rays), Irish (Orioles), and Dakota Jordan (Giants).
