Here's a look at top prospects to watch in today's Minor League action:
Hitter to watch: Rafael Devers (Red Sox's No. 1), Portland at Akron (7:05 p.m. ET on MiLB.TV)
Devers, MLBPipeline.com's No. 12 overall prospect, went 2-for-4 with a solo home run on Thursday -- his second straight game with a home run -- to account for Double-A Portland's lone run in a loss against Altoona. What's more, the 20-year-old third baseman has now hit a career-high 12 home runs in 57 games this season, surpassing his previous high-water mark of 11 which he achieved over twice as many games in both 2015-16.

Pitcher to watch: Domingo Acevedo (Yankees' No. 12), Scranton/Wilkes-Barre at Buffalo (7:05 p.m. ET on MiLB.TV)
Acevedo, 23, is moving up to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after a dominant five-start stretch with Double-A Trenton in which he went 2-0 with a 1.62 ERA, a 0.81 WHIP and a 31-to-3 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 33 1/3 innings. In his most recent turn, the 6-foot-7 right-hander completed a season-high eight innings, allowing one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out five.

Duel of the day: Lucas Sims (Braves' No. 18) vs. Julian Merryweather (Indians' No. 24), Gwinnett at Columbus (7:15 p.m. ET on MiLB.TV)
Sims had been struggling for the better part of a month before getting back on track with eight scoreless frames of three-hit ball in his last outing for Triple-A Gwinnett. It was the longest outing of the season for the 23-year-old righty, who's pitched to a 3.65 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP with 69 strikeouts over 69 innings (12 starts) for the G-Braves.

Merryweather, 25, has yet to lose a game since being promoted to Columbus, going 3-0 with a 3.43 ERA in three starts. He has been hit around some, however, as evidenced by his 25 hits allowed in 21 innings -- he's also given up 10 and 11 hits, respectively, in back-to-back outings -- though he's managed to offset those additional baserunners by inducing four ground-ball double plays and issuing just one walk. For the season, Merryweather owns a 3.39 ERA through 12 starts, with 67 strikeouts and 11 walks in 71 2/3 innings.
