Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cody Bradford (ribs) doesn't appear any closer to getting back on the mound. On Friday, Rangers' manager Bruce Bochy said Bradford is dealing with a stress fracture in his rib. The 26-year-old was originally placed on the injured list with back soreness, but it appears to be his rib instead. The organization says Bradford is likely to miss at least a month of action. It's uncertain if there will still be a spot in the rotation available once Bradford is ready to pitch again.

Seattle Mariners catching prospect Harry Ford was off to a slow start but has recently begun to find his stride. The 21-year-old has tallied at least a hit in four consecutive games, including his first home run on Tuesday. Ford moved through the Seattle system fairly slowly, spending the entirety of the previous two seasons at Single and High-A. As a result, the number two prospect in the Seattle system and number four overall catching prospect should be expected to remain at Double-A throughout the summer but could push for a late-summer promotion to Triple-A. Ford is a must-roster player in dynasty and keeper leagues but will not be viable in redraft formats until next season.

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Colin Poche (back) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Friday. The move is retroactive to April 24th with Poche dealing with back tightness. The organization has not given a timetable for how long Poche will be sidelined. This is a hit to the Rays bullpen with Pete Fairbanks already sidelined as well. The loss of these two pitchers should mean increased save chances for Jason Adam and Garrett Cleavinger.

Chicago White Sox catching prospect Edgar Quero has been off to a great start at Double-A this season, posting a .286/.373/.589 line with five long balls and 21 RBI across 17 games. Quero, the ninth overall catching prospect and fifth overall prospect in the White Sox system on MLB Pipeline is showing some untapped power potential that he has yet to show in the minor leagues. Last season in Double-A, he only hit six home runs with a .351 SLG. If Quero continues this trajectory, he could be promoted to Triple-A reasonably quickly and push for a promotion later in the summer. For now, Quero remains a target in dynasty leagues as he is viewed as the backstop of the future on the Southside.

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Jordan Beck has been swinging a hot bat this week, as he has tallied multiple hits in three consecutive games. During this stretch, Beck has totaled eight hits, six RBI, and two walks and has struck out only twice. The fourth overall prospect in the Colorado system has been off to a great start at Triple-A and has posted a .315/.406/.629 line in his first 22 games of the season. The 23-year-old has also launched five home runs and 16 extra-base hits. Beck should be rostered in dynasty leagues and could even become a name to monitor in redraft leagues as he could make a case for a late-season promotion if he continues this success at Triple-A.
