The 2026 Draft is taking longer to sort itself out than teams hoped. Shortstops Roch Cholowsky (UCLA) and Grady Emerson (Fort Worth Christian HS in Texas) have set themselves apart from the rest of the class. The second tier of prospects consists of catcher Vahn Lackey (Georgia Tech) and right-hander

A pair of top Cardinals prospects helped drive High-A Peoria to a walk-off, 7-6 win over Wisconsin on Thursday at Dozer Park. Yhoiker Fajardo, a piece of this offseason’s Willson Contreras trade, continued his strong start on the mound with five innings on one-run ball, striking out seven and walking

Just three games into his Triple-A career, Braden Montgomery is already making his mark. Montgomery, the White Sox’ No. 1 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 29 overall, tallied his first multi-hit game at the level Thursday in a 16-1 win for Charlotte over Jacksonville at Bragan Field at VyStar Ballpark.

One of baseball's most polarizing prospects is coming to the big leagues. When Jasson Domínguez entered concussion protocol after slamming into the outfield wall during Thursday's win over the Rangers, the Yankees responded by summoning Spencer Jones from Triple-A. Few players can match Jones' combination of size (6-foot-7, 240 pounds)

When Ethan Holliday took a fastball off his left elbow last Thursday, the Rockies organization must have held its collective breath. The 19-year-old doubled over in pain for almost a minute before taking his base. He eventually left that contest, but he wasn't held down for long. Since returning to

In 2021, Robby Snelling was a two-sport standout, committed to play both football and baseball at the University of Arizona. In 2022, he was the 39th overall pick in the Draft by the Padres. In 2023, he was a phenom. In 2024, he was a pitcher struggling to get outs.

Perhaps the only thing that rivals the Dodgers' deep and abiding talent base is the organization's proficiency at finding, developing and incorporating more of it. Mike Sirota appears to be yet another shining gem in an organization teeming with them. A week after homering three times in a doubleheader, Los

As the calendar gets ready to turn to May, the Draft buzz is starting to grow louder. And we’re leaning into it with an updated and expanded Draft Top 150. With two-plus months left before the 2026 Draft gets underway in Philadelphia, there’s a ton of movement on every team’s

Edwin Arroyo is catching fire at Triple-A. The Reds' No. 6 prospect blasted his fifth home run of the season while collecting four hits and four RBIs -- both season highs -- in Louisville’s 9-6 loss to Nashville on Thursday night at Slugger Field. That gave the switch-hitting Arroyo his

The saying goes that relievers are failed starters. If you believe that, revisit how much the Padres gave up for Mason Miller at last year’s Trade Deadline, and then look at Miller’s dominance to begin his first full season in San Diego. After that, look at the three-year, $69 million

NEW YORK -- The Yankees have dreamed upon this for years: An outfield stocked with towering sluggers Aaron Judge and Spencer Jones, a pair of 6-foot-7 mashers obliterating balls from opposite sides of the plate. That vision will become reality this weekend. The Yankees officially called up Jones, the organization’s

MIAMI – A freshly shaven Robby Snelling walked around loanDepot park for the first time -- a place he had seen so many times on TV -- and soaked in his surroundings without his trademark mustache. "I'm trying not to be super superstitious," Snelling said Thursday afternoon. "Felt like shaving

Here is the latest on injuries and roster moves involving MLB Pipeline's Top 100 prospects:

The Marlins placed Top 100 prospect Kevin Defrank on the 60-day Minor League injured list on Thursday with a right biceps issue. Though the injury didn't require surgery, Defrank's 2026 season is in doubt. Sources told MLB.com that due to the timeline of the Florida Complex League season, the 60-day

PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly approached Andrew Painter in the dugout in the middle of the third inning on Thursday at Citizens Bank Park. Painter had been hit hard in the first three innings in a 12-1 loss to the A’s, so Mattingly told Painter he could stop

Bryce Rainer, the Tigers’ No. 2 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 28 overall, is heating up. Rainer on Wednesday clobbered his first home run since being promoted to High-A West Michigan, highlighting a 2-for-3 day for the shortstop in a 4-3 loss to Dayton at LMCU Ballpark. The 11th overall

Henry Bolte has been known to launch a ball over a fence on occasion. Or in this case, over just about everything. The A's No. 5 prospect hammered a 479-foot long ball, the longest on record by Statcast at any level -- in the Majors or the Minors -- this

Jack Wenninger doesn't light up the radar gun or deliver knee-buckling curveballs. He may not intimidate opposing batters. All the 24-year-old does is pitch ... and he does it very well. Wenninger's brilliant start to 2026 steamed onward with six scoreless innings for Triple-A Syracuse, which defeated visiting Rochester, 3-1,

For now, Colt Emerson is playing in a liminal state. Recipient of the largest contract in baseball history for a player yet to make his Major League debut, the 20-year-old is a daily presence in the Triple-A Tacoma lineup. That contract, plus the endorsement of the Mariners' front-office brass, has

ANAHEIM -- At long last, the Angels earned a series win and it came by a comfortable margin. Rookie right-hander Walbert Ureña threw six strong innings to pick up his first career win while veteran catcher Travis d’Arnaud hit a three-run homer as part of a five-run second inning to

For Baltimore, it looks like good things come in pairs. The Orioles held four of the first 37 picks in the 2025 MLB Draft and used two of their first three selections on catcher/outfielder/first baseman Ike Irish and shortstop Wehiwa Aloy, last year's Golden Spikes Award winner. The duo followed

The first two weeks of the Minor League season were all James Tibbs III. The 2024 first-rounder homered seven times over his first eight games and punctuated the stretch with a three-homer outburst on April 4. The calendar has turned to May, so what has Tibbs been up to recently?

Right-handed pitcher Juan Valera -- Boston’s No. 4 prospect, per MLB Pipeline -- underwent Tommy John surgery on Wednesday, Red Sox senior director of player development Brian Abraham told MLB.com’s Ian Browne. The surgery was performed by Dr. Jeffrey Dugas in Alabama.
