Here's what's on tap for the weekend:

Saturday, 8:15 p.m. ET -- Visalia (ARI) vs. Lake Elsinore (SD)
Ethan Salas was the top prospect in the 2023 international signing class when the Padres inked him in January. Not six months later, he's made his pro debut with the Storm as MLB's No. 86 prospect at age 16, becoming the youngest player in full-season ball. Lake Elsinore also features 18-year-old outfielder Samuel Zavala, who's San Diego's No. 4 prospect. The visiting Rawhide have been getting hot hitting from 17th-ranked D-backs prospect Manuel Pena and just welcomed back Kristian Robinson, who'd last played in 2019 and was MLB's No. 43 prospect entering 2020.

Sunday, 1:05 p.m. ET -- Worcester (BOS) vs. Louisville (CIN)
When Elly De La Cruz and Christian Encarnacion-Strand joined the Reds' Triple-A affiliate after early injuries delayed their season starts, the Bats started hitting on all cylinders throughout the lineup. Every day is an opportunity for a highlight reel from EDLC (MLB's No. 4 prospect) -- be it showing off his arm, bat or speed. And Encarnacion-Strand continues to display amazing power. That duo and the Bats will face a highly ranked WooSox pitching lineup and some big bats in Wilyer Abreu (BOS No. 22) and David Hamilton (BOS No. 27) that have keyed another of the top offensive teams in the International League.
