Tuesday, 6:05 p.m. ET – Iowa (CHC) @ Rochester (WSH)
On the heels of Sunday's performance in which four of Iowa’s five Top 100 prospects – Matt Shaw (MLB No. 22), Owen Caissie (MLB No. 33), Moises Ballesteros (MLB No. 41) and Kevin Alcántara (MLB No. 69) -- went a combined 13-for-21 with three homers, a triple and three doubles, the Cubs' Triple-A affiliate heads to Rochester to kick off its final series of the regular season. Joined by James Triantos (MLB No. 56), who pinch-ran but didn’t record an at-bat on Sunday, the prospect-laden squad goes toe-to-toe with the Brady House-led Nationals affiliate. House (MLB No. 65) has slugged a career-high 19 homers this season, the second-most in the Nationals' farm system.
Tuesday, 6:35 p.m. ET – Hartford (COL) @ Somerset (NYY)
Chase Dollander (MLB No. 20) toes the rubber for Double-A Hartford in Game 1 of the Eastern League semifinals. The Tennessee product was dominant in his first full season of pro ball, finishing the regular season with a 2.59 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP and a system-leading 169 strikeouts in 118 innings across two levels. He’ll look to shut down the Yankees' No. 2 prospect, Spencer Jones, who crushed his career-high 17th big fly of the year to close out the regular season. The Rockies affiliate also features Adael Amador (MLB No. 90), who is riding a 10-game on-base streak into the playoffs.
Wednesday, 3:05 p.m. ET – Sugar Land (HOU) @ Sacramento (SF)
Competing at his fourth level of the season, Bryce Eldridge (MLB No. 50) clashes with Jacob Melton (MLB No. 93) in a battle of Top 100 prospects. Eldridge, 19, was promoted to Triple-A on Saturday, becoming the youngest player at the level. In nine games with Double-A Richmond, he logged a homer, a triple and two doubles while slashing .270/.325/.459. With 55-grade pop and 60-grade speed, Melton has eclipsed 10 homers and 30 steals for the second consecutive season.
Wednesday, 6:35 p.m. ET – Wisconsin (MIL) @ Lake County (CLE)
In a decisive Game 3 is necessary in the Midwest League Championship Series, Cooper Pratt (MLB No. 58) and High-A Wisconsin take on Lake County’s Top 100 trio of Travis Bazzana (MLB No. 11), Ralphy Velazquez (MLB No. 72) and Angel Genao (MLB No. 87). Wisconsin took a 1-0 lead in the Finals with a 5-4 victory in the opener on Sunday. Both Pratt and Bazzana roped doubles in the contest.
Thursday, 12:05 p.m. ET – Nashville (MIL) @ Norfolk (BAL)
Top 100 prospects Tyler Black (MLB No. 64) and Samuel Basallo (MLB No. 9) duel in a Triple-A matinee. Basallo, 20, is one of the youngest players at Triple-A and possesses 60-grade hit and power tools. He slugged 16 homers at Double-A prior to his Aug. 27 promotion. Basallo may face Jacob Misiorowski (MLB No. 62), who has thrived out of the bullpen for Nashville while holding opposing batters to a sub-.100 average.
Thursday, 7:35 p.m. ET – Arkansas (SEA) @ Springfield (STL)
After finishing just 1.5 games apart in their overall records, Arkansas -- led by Cole Young (MLB No. 34) and Harry Ford (MLB No. 49) -- and Springfield square off in Game 2 of the Texas League semifinals. Young and Ford can impact the game in a multitude of ways. Young ranked in the league's top five in hits (127) and walks (67). Ford stole 35 bases in 2024, the most of any catcher in the Minor Leagues. Springfield counters with Jimmy Crooks (STL No. 5) and Chase Davis (STL No. 7). Crooks sported a .321/.410/.498 slash line with 11 homers in 2024. In his first full season, Davis climbed three levels to Double-A.
Friday, 7:35 p.m. ET – Biloxi (MIL) @ Montgomery (TB)
In the fourth playoff game on this week's Free Game of the Day slate, Double-A Biloxi and Montgomery face off in a decisive Game 3 of the Southern League semifinals, if necessary. Shuckers pitching faces a tough task, as the Rays affiliate’s lineup features three Top 100 prospects – Carson Williams (MLB No. 4), Xavier Isaac (MLB No. 18) and Brayden Taylor (MLB No. 47). Williams enters the series having lofted homers in back-to-back contests last week. Mike Boeve (MIL No. 11) will look to kick-start Brewers affiliate's offense. The 2023 second-rounder sports elite bat-to-ball skills and finished the season with a .338 average across two levels.
Saturday, 6:35 p.m. ET – Charlotte (CWS) @ Syracuse (NYM)
Top 100 shortstops Colson Montgomery (MLB No. 25) and Jett Williams (MLB No. 53) meet as the latter gets his first taste of Triple-A. The Mets prospect, who has struggled since returning from right wrist surgery on Aug. 30, is joined by Drew Gilbert (MLB No. 76), who also missed time this season due to injury. Charlotte is led by Montgomery, and the 2021 first-round pick has tapped into his 60-grade power this season, already having notched a career high in homers.
