TUESDAY

6:05 p.m. ET: Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (NYY) vs. Worcester Red Sox (BOS)
After dominating at Double-A with a .994 OPS and 19 homers, Franklin Arias (BOS No. 1/MLB No. 3) was promoted to Triple-A in late July, and the returns have been very positive. Through 23 games, the 20-year-old infielder has proven his hot bat wasn't a fluke, posting a .292/.363/.483 slash line as the second-youngest player at the level. Arias, who has grown into massive power this season, will step into the box against Kyle Carr (NYY No. 13) and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Carr, the 2025 South Atlantic League pitcher of the year, is making his first start since being placed on the IL on July 21.

WEDNESDAY

1:35 p.m. ET: Columbus Clippers (CLE) vs. Indianapolis Indians (PIT)
No hitter has been hotter this month than Ralphy Velazquez (CLE No. 2/MLB No. 32). The 2023 first-rounder -- who was just named to the Prospect Team of the Week -- entered the new series with 14 homers in 17 games this month and an astounding 1.015 slugging percentage and 1.462 OPS. It seems like Velazquez hasn't just been leaving the yard once a day either. The slugging first baseman is joined by Cooper Ingle (CLE No. 5) in a Triple-A Columbus lineup loaded with familiar names. Jhostynxon "The Password" Garcia (PIT No. 13), a right-handed hitting outfielder with impressive bat speed and plus raw power, anchors the Indianapolis lineup.

10:05 p.m. ET: Spokane Indians (COL) vs. Vancouver Canadians (TOR)
Two dynamic prospects who recently reached High-A face off in this Northwest League battle. One of the top teenage outfielders in the Minors, Roldy Brito (COL No. 2/MLB No. 55), highlights the Spokane lineup. Since his July 17 promotion, Brito has slashed .303/.336/.418 across 28 games. In August alone, he has filled up the box score with four three-hit games and a four-hit performance. JoJo Parker (TOR No. 1/MLB No. 26) captains Vancouver's infield. Promoted on Aug. 11, the 2025 first-rounder hit the ground running with knocks in each of his first seven games. At just 20 years old, Parker displays a strong knowledge of the strike zone and impressive raw pop.

THURSDAY

6 p.m. ET: Erie SeaWolves (DET) vs. Altoona Curve (PIT)
Last week, Zyhir Hope (DET No. 2/MLB No. 28) delivered his first signature performance in Detroit's organization on Aug. 15, when he racked up four knocks, including a homer. The muscular do-it-all outfielder with plus pop and sneaky speed leads Double-A Erie against Murf Gray (PIT No. 4/MLB No. 94) and Altoona. Gray -- the No. 73 overall pick in the 2025 Draft -- has been a revelation for Pittsburgh. He has exhibited home run power and strong bat-to-ball skills en route to becoming one of the system's top offensive prospects.

10:05 p.m. ET: Salt Lake Bees (LAA) vs. Tacoma Rainiers (SEA)
Since the start of the 2024 season, no Minor Leaguer has launched more homers than Lazaro Montes (SEA No. 5/MLB No. 56). The 6-foot-5, 210-pound outfielder has some of the best pop in the Minors and has hammered 90 roundtrippers over the past three seasons. On Friday, he connected on a scorching 115.9 mph roundtripper. He's joined in Triple-A Tacoma's lineup by Michael Arroyo (SEA No. 3/MLB No. 45) -- a 5-foot-10 right-handed hitter with compact strength. Opposing the duo is 21-year-old outfielder Nelson Rada (LAA No. 6). Rada uses his above-average contact skills and speed to collect knocks and create offense.

FRIDAY

6:45 p.m. ET: Binghamton Rumble Ponies vs. Reading Fightin Phils
Future NL East rivals go head-to-head at Double-A as Gage Wood (PHI No. 1/MLB No. 33) toes the rubber vs. Mets Trade Deadline acquisition Jefferson Rojas (NYM No. 1/MLB No. 76). Wood, a 2025 first-rounder out of Arkansas, has one of the best four-seamers in the Minors -- a 70-grade offering with a flat approach angle and good life. In his most recent outing, he fanned rehabbing Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony en route to five scoreless innings. Rojas left the yard three times last week, giving a sneak peek into his profile as a 20-homer infielder with above-average hitting and speed.

SATURDAY

7:05 p.m. ET: Arkansas Travelers (SEA) vs. Wichita Wind Surge (MIN)
Ryan Sloan (SEA No. 2/MLB No. 8) took over as Double-A Arkansas' ace and promptly racked up 11 punchouts over six innings of one-hit ball last week. He retired the first six batters he faced on swinging strikeouts and produced 21 whiffs. Having solidified his status as one of the elite pitching prospects in the Minors, Sloan faces a Wichita squad led by Marek Houston (MIN No. 4/MLB No. 74), a contact-first shortstop with smooth hands in the field. The Travelers lineup also features switch-hitting shortstop Felnin Celesten (SEA No. 4/MLB No. 50) and speedy outfielder Jonny Farmelo (SEA No. 6/MLB No. 73).

9:35 p.m. ET: Sacramento River Cats (SF) vs. Reno Aces (AZ)
Bo Davidson (SF No. 8) has made good on his "JUCO Barry Bonds" nickname this season. The non-drafted signee earned the moniker thanks to his powerful bat and has blossomed into one San Francisco's top hitting prospects. He entered the week tied for the system lead with 25 big flies after walloping two homers last series. Representing the other end of this duel of NL West affiliates is Demetrio Crisantes (AZ No. 1/MLB No. 75). Equipped with a smooth right-handed stroke that leads to tons of contact, the Arizona native sprays base hits all over the yard for Reno.

SUNDAY

5:05 p.m. ET: Charleston RiverDogs (TB) vs. Columbia Fireflies (KC)
The No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 Draft, Grady Emerson (TB No. 1/MLB No. 10), made his pro debut for Single-A Charleston last week. At just 18 years old, Emerson -- who has a 65-grade hit tool -- stands out for his polished skill set. He routinely barrels balls, makes good swing decisions and stacks quality at-bats. Alongside Emerson will be toolsy shortstop Cooper Flemming (TB No. 5/MLB No. 83). On the other side of the matchup will be infielder Josh Hammond (KC No. 2/MLB No. 70), an uber-athletic teenager with good power, speed and an elite arm.

8 p.m. ET: Ontario Tower Buzzers (LAD) vs. Stockton Ports (ATH)
Drew Burress (ATH No. 2/MLB No. 41) proved one main thing during his three seasons at Georgia Tech -- he can flat out rake. The 21-year-old outfielder set the program record with 60 career homers, then followed it up by swatting three jacks in his first five games as a pro. Burress' big bat leads a Single-A Stockton lineup that also has Japanese "three-way" prospect Shotaro Morii (ATH No. 16), who will DH in the contest. In the other dugout will be breakout Dodgers outfield prospect Ching-Hsien Ko (LAD No. 12). Signed in 2024 out of Taiwan, Ko entered the week with a career-high 18 homers this season.
