Groshans, 19, put Lansing on the board with an RBI double in the first inning and ultimately reached base in four of his five plate appearances in the Lugnuts' 7-3 win over Fort Wayne. The 2018 first-round pick is off to a strong start in his first full season, with three hits (two doubles) and three walks in his first two games.

Orioles: Grayson Rodriguez, RHP (No. 5) -- 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 10 K (Class A Delmarva)
Rodriguez, Baltimore's first-round pick in last year's Draft, recorded 10 of his 15 outs via the strikeout (a new career high) to earn the win in a dominant full-season debut. The 19-year-old righty notched multiple strikeouts in three of five frames, striking out the side in the first and fifth innings.
Orioles prospects stats »
Rays: Josh Lowe, OF (No. 15) -- 3-for-4, 3B, 2B, RBI, R (Double-A Montgomery)
The 2016 first-rounder recorded his second straight multihit performance and finished a home run short of the cycle in the Biscuits' 3-1 victory over Chattanooga. He's 5-for-8 with three extra-base hits in the two contests.
Rays prospects stats »
Red Sox: Denyi Reyes, RHP (No. 19) -- 6 IP, 2 H, R, BB, 4 K (Double-A Portland)
The 22-year-old fired 51 of his 82 pitches for strikes in an impressive Double-A debut. Reyes gave up a solo homer in the first inning -- one of two extra-base hits he allowed in the frame -- but hardly faced any trouble in any of his other five innings.
Red Sox prospects stats »
Yankees: Josh Stowers, OF (No. 25) -- 3-for-4, 2 2B, RBI, R, BB (Class A Charleston)

Yankees prospects stats »
AMERICAN LEAGUE CENTRAL
Indians: Daniel Johnson, OF (No. 22) -- 3-for-5, HR, 3B, 2B, RBI, 2 R (Double-A Akron)
After an 0-for-4, three-strikeout debut, Johnson recorded three extra-base hits, including a solo homer, on Friday before finishing a single short of the cycle. The Indians acquired the tooled-up outfielder in November in the deal that sent Yan Gomes to Washington.
Indians prospects stats »
Royals: Khalil Lee, OF (No. 2) -- 3-for-5, 3B, 2B, 2 RBI, 2 R (Double-A Northwest Arkansas)
Lee's two-run triple in the fifth inning helped ignite the Naturals comeback in an 8-7 win over Springfield. The 20-year-old also doubled in the contest, recording his second multihit performance in as many days.
Royals prospects stats »
Tigers: Matt Manning, RHP (No. 2, MLB No. 51) -- 5 IP, H, R, 3 BB, 5 K; Isaac Paredes, SS/2B/3B (No. 4) -- 2-for-4, HR, 4 RBI, 2 R (Double-A Erie)
Manning and Paredes combined to lead Erie to an 11-1 win over Trenton. Manning cruised through five innings and threw 44 of his 68 pitches for strikes. On the offensive end, Paredes hit a two-run homer in the sixth in his first game action of 2019.

Duran's triple-digit heater was on full display as the 6-foot-5 right-hander fired four hitless frames while allowing one baserunner in his Florida State League debut. Alcala, 23, struck out six over five innings, pacing the Blue Wahoos in a shutout over Mobile. The Twins acquired both hurlers last summer in separate July 27 trades with Arizona (Duran) and Houston (Alcala).
Twins prospects stats »
White Sox: Steele Walker, OF (No. 11) -- 1-for-3, 3B, 2 RBI, BB (Class A Kannapolis)
Walker's two-run triple with two outs in the third inning was the difference as the Intimidators edged Rome, 2-1. The 2018 third-round pick had a rocky pro debut last summer, hitting .209/.271/.342 in 44 games across three levels.
White Sox prospects stats »
AMERICAN LEAGUE WEST
A’s: Nick Allen, SS (No. 15) -- 2-for-3, HR, 2B (Class A Adv Stockton)
Allen isn't know for his power and went homer-less in 121 games last season at Class A Beloit, but the 20-year-old shortstop put Stockton on the board with a leadoff home run on Friday night. And with his double in his second at-bat, Allen recorded his third multi-extra-base-hit performance in 158 games as a pro. The homer was his first in 144 games.
A's prospects stats »
Angels: Jeremy Beasley, RHP (No. 25) -- 4 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 2 BB, 6 K (Double-A Mobile)
Beasley took the loss for Mobile in the opener of a doubleheader against Pensacola. He did, however, strike out six batters in four innings, during which he allowed just three hits. The 23-year-old righty posted a 2.86 ERA over 111 2/3 innings last season while ascending from Class A Burlington to Mobile.
Angels prospects stats »
Astros: Abraham Toro, 3B (No. 23) -- 1-for-4, 2B, RBI, R (Double-A Corpus Christi)
Toro plated a run with a third-inning double, his first hit of 2019. He was a standout in Astros camp this spring, hitting .341/.396/.591 with seven extra-base hits and 15 RBIs in 25 games.
Astros prospects stats »
Mariners: Dom Thompson-Williams, OF (No. 15) -- 2-for-4, 2 HR, 5 RBI (Double-A Arkansas)
Making his first start in the Mariners' system, Thompson-Williams hit a two-run homer to the opposite field in the third inning and added a tape-measure three-run shot in the fifth. Acquired from the Yankees in the offseason James Paxton trade, the 23-year-old outfielder was one of six Minor Leaguers to accrue at least 20 homers and 20 steals in 2018.
Mariners prospects stats »
Rangers: Chris Seise, SS (No. 12) -- 3-for-3, 2B, 3 SB (Class A Hickory)
Good things are apparently coming in threes for Seise. The 20-year-old has opened the season with back-to-back three-hit games and has already racked up four extra-base hits, including one triple.
Rangers prospects stats »
NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST
Braves: Cristian Pache, OF (No. 4, MLB No. 35) -- 2-for-5, 2B, SB (Double-A Mississippi)
Pache, 20, notched at least one extra-base hit and one steal for a second straight game to help lead the M-Braves over Tennessee, 4-3, in 11 innings. He's already stolen three bags this season after finishing 2018 with seven steals in 122 games.
Braves prospects stats »
Marlins: Zac Gallen, RHP (No. 18) -- 7 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 11 K (Triple-A New Orleans)
It's hard to start a season much better than the way Gallen did for the Baby Cakes. An infield error kept the right-hander from being perfect, but it did nothing to take away from his dominance. Gallen, who struck out four of the first six batter he faced, needed just 87 pitches (60 strikes) to carve his way through seven innings. New Orleans lost the no-hitter in the ninth.
Marlins prospects stats »
Mets: Ronny Mauricio, SS (No. 3) -- 2-for-2, BB (Class A Columbia)
After an 0-for-4 performance in his season debut, the 17-year-old Mauricio enjoyed a perfect night at the plate out of the leadoff spot, going 2-for-2 with a pair of singles and walk as he accounted for half of Columbia's hits in a 6-1 loss against Charleston.
Mets prospects stats »
Phillies: Mickey Moniak, OF (No. 9) -- 2-for-4, HR, 2B, 2 RBI, 2 R, BB (Double-A Reading)
Moniak put Reading on the board early with a solo homer in the top of the first. Moniak hit five homers in 114 games last season, but has shown a bit more pop early with three extra-base hits over his first eight trips to the plate.
Phillies prospects stats »
Nationals: Tim Cate, LHP (No. 6) -- 4.2 IP, 3 H, 4 R (0 ER), BB, 7 K (Class A Hagerstown)
The 2018 second-rounder cruised through the first four innings before encountering some bad luck in the fifth, when back-to-back infield throwing errors led to a pair of unearned runs and forced Cate from the game. Two more unearned runs scored after his departure. The left-hander's seven strikeouts were a career high, and he also recorded seven ground-ball outs.
Nationals prospects stats »
NATIONAL LEAGUE CENTRAL
Brewers: Trey Supak, RHP (No. 11) -- 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, BB, 3 K (Double-A Biloxi)
Starting the nightcap for the Shuckers, Supak racked up 12 groundouts and allowed just two hits over six scoreless frames en route to earning the win in his season debut. The 22-year-old pitched to a 2.91 ERA over 86 2/3 frames (16 starts) for Biloxi in 2018.
Brewers prospects stats »
Cubs: Miguel Amaya, C (No. 1, MLB No. 92) -- 2-for-4, HR, 2 RBI (Class A Adv Myrtle Beach)
Amaya hit a solo shot in the third inning and was the only Myrtle Beach player to collect multiple hits, ultimately plating two of the Pelicans' three runs in a loss against Lynchburg. It was the second straight two-RBI game for the 20-year-old backstop.
Cubs prospects stats »
Cardinals: Nolan Gorman, 3B (No. 1, MLB No. 60) -- 4-for-4, 3B, 2 2B, 2 RBI, R (Class A Peoria)
The lone Peoria player to collect multiple hits, Gorman, 18, had three of his four knocks go for extra bases. The 2018 first-rounder doubled to left field, tripled to center and doubled to right in his first three trips to the plate and added a single in the eight for good measure.
Cardinals prospects stats »
Pirates: Cole Tucker, SS (No. 5) -- 2-for-4, HR, BB (Triple-A Indianapolis)
After hitting .389 in Spring Training, Tucker carried that momentum into the regular season. The 22-year-old was 2-for-5 on Opening Day and then picked up two more hits, including a leadoff homer in game No. 2. Tucker hit five homers in 133 games last year.
Pirates prospects stats »
Reds: Tony Santillan, RHP (No. 5) -- 5 IP, 4 H, R, 2 BB, 8 K (Double-A Chattanooga)
The hard-throwing righty fanned eight batters over five innings as he took a no-decision in his season debut. In 2018, the 21-year-old struck out eight or more batters in three of his 26 starts across two levels.
Reds prospects stats »
NATIONAL LEAGUE WEST
D-backs: Emilio Vargas, RHP (No. 16) -- 5 IP, H, R, BB, 4 K (Double-A Jackson)
The 22-year-old Dominican was perfect for the first three innings before finally giving up a hit to open the fourth. He allowed two baserunners over five innings, throwing 47 of his 73 pitches for strikes in the outing.
D-backs prospects stats »
Dodgers: Edwin Uceta, RHP (No. 21) -- 5 IP, 6 H, 3 R, BB, 8 K (Double-A Tulsa)
Uceta surrendered a pair of first-inning home runs but settled in and completed five innings, striking out eight in a no-decision. As a 20-year-old in 2018, he piled up 131 strikeouts in 120 1/3 innings between Class A Great Lakes and Rancho.
Dodgers prospects stats »
Giants: Tyler Beede, RHP (No. 23) -- 4 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K (Triple-A Sacramento)
A strong Spring Training seemed to indicate Beede was primed for a bounceback season and after one start, that very well may be the case. The right-hander struggled to live up to expectation in 2018 and after simplifying things in the off-season, has been impressive in 2019.
Giants prospects stats »
Padres: MacKenzie Gore, LHP (No. 2, MLB No. 15) -- 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K (Class A Adv Lake Elsinore)
Gore, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2017 Draft, dominated in his California League debut, recording at least one strikeout in each of his five innings and fanning multiple batters in three separate frames. The 20-year-old southpaw also picked off a runner from first base and induced three ground-ball outs before departing with 90 pitches (54 strikes).
Padres prospects stats »
Rockies: Ryan Rolison, LHP (No. 6) -- 5 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K (Class A Asheville)
The Rockies' first-round pick (No. 22 overall) in last year's Draft, Rolison kicked off his first full season by tossing five perfect frames as Asheville blanked Augusta, 3-0. The 21-year-old southpaw posted a 1.86 ERA with 34 strikeouts in 29 innings last summer during his pro debut in the Rookie-level Pioneer League.
