April 19th, 2017

Here's a look at top prospects to watch in today's Minor League action:
Hitter to watch: (Nationals' No. 5), Harrisburg at Hartford (7:05 p.m. ET on MiLB.TV)
Stevenson, 22, collected five hits for a second consecutive game on Tuesday, going 5-for-5 out of the leadoff spot for Double-A Harrisburg one night after he went 5-for-7. He has notched a hit in eight straight at-bats, and reached base in nine straight plate appearances, dating back to the eighth inning of Monday's contest. Meanwhile, by going 10-for-12 between the two games, Stevenson has improved his average from .314 to .447.

Pitcher to watch: Brent Honeywell (Rays' No. 2), Durham at Indianapolis (1:35 p.m. ET on MiLB.TV)
Honeywell is set to make his Triple-A debut on Wednesday. Ranked 28th on MLB Pipeline's Top 100 Prospects list, Honeywell was outstanding in his two starts for Double-A Montgomery, posting a 2.08 ERA with 20 strikeouts in 13 innings. The 22-year-old right-hander allowed four hits and walks each in that span.

Duel of the day: (Blue Jays' No. 6) vs. (Yankees' No. 8), New Hampshire at Trenton (7 p.m. ET on MiLB.TV)
Greene, 22, has gotten off to a shaky start in his return to the Double-A Eastern League, allowing five earned runs in 9 1/3 innings (4.82 ERA) across his first two starts. The right-hander has been difficult to hit, yielding just five knocks (.156 BAA) and striking out 11, though he's also issued nine free passes. In 2016, Greene posted a 4.19 ERA with 33 walks in 68 2/3 innings (12 starts) for New Hampshire.

Adams tossed 5 2/3 innings no-hit innings in his season debut for Double-A Trenton and then carried a no-hit bid into the fifth inning in his most recent start. The 22-year-old righty won both outings, posting a 0.79 ERA with 13 strikeouts in 11 1/3 innings.
