In just a few short months, many of baseball's rising stars will descend on the desert for the annual Arizona Fall League.
The AFL released its schedule Friday for the 2016 season, which will feature six prospect-heavy teams and run from Oct. 11 to Nov. 19.
Games will be played Monday through Saturday at the various Spring Training facilities in the Phoenix area. Surprise Stadium returns in 2016 as an AFL venue and home to the Surprise Saguaros after it was closed for renovations last year. The other five ballparks -- Scottsdale Stadium, Camelback Ranch-Glendale, Salt River Fields, Sloan Park and Peoria Sports Complex -- remain unchanged.
