Arizona Diamondbacks third base prospect Deyvison De Los Santos continued his powerful season for Triple-A Reno on Sunday with a huge performance. De Los Santos went 3-for-4 on the day with two homers and eight RBI to lead Reno to their 40th victory of the season. De Los Santos has been a beast at the dish this season, leading all of minor-league baseball with 25 total homers this season between Double-A and Triple-A. The 21-year-old went unclaimed in the Rule 5 draft this offseason, and the Diamondbacks must be thankful for that, as he has hit a combined .346 with 75 RBI between both levels. The Diamondbacks currently have veteran Eugenio Suarez at the hot corner, but he hasn't shown the power that he has in the past and is hitting just .196 on the season. Suarez is the biggest hurdle for De Los Santos to overcome in getting his second his promotion of the season, but with his ascension and Suarez's descension, there should be an opportunity for De Los Santos to get a shot at some point this summer. With his immense power, De Los Santos should already be rostered in dynasty leagues and would be worth a pickup in redraft leagues if he's promoted.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones finished his big month of June with a huge game for Double-A Somerset on Sunday. Jones went four-for-five with a walk, two homers, three runs and seven RBI in a 13-3 victory. Jones, 23, is the 65th rated prospect per MLB Pipeline and he has shown the numbers to back it up. In 64 games this season, Jones has hit .252 with nine homers, 45 RBI and 17 stolen bases. Jones has shown the ability to help across the board with his big frame at 6'6, but is unlikely to make his debut in 2024. Despite that, Jones should be rostered in dynasty leagues as his debut will likely come in 2025.

Baltimore Orioles catcher prospect Samuel Basallo (lower body) returned to action on Sunday for Double-A Bowie. Basallo had been absent from the lineup since Thursday with a lower body contusion. In his return, the backstop went 1-for-4 with a walk and RBI. The 19-year-old is the club's No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline and is now hitting .281 with 11 homers, 34 RBI and seven stolen bases on the season. Despite being one of the best prospects in one of the best systems, Basallo could be a trade candidate for the playoff contending Orioles who have catcher Adley Rutschman behind the dish for the future. Regardless of if he is dealt or not, Basallo should be rostered in dynasty leagues, but his quickest route to the majors would likely come by being dealt. Either way, Basallo isn't expected to reach the big leagues until next season at the earliest.



The Colorado Rockies have sent shortstop Adael Amador (oblique) on his rehab assignment in Double-A Hartford. Amador was promoted to the Rockies on June 9, but suffered right oblique tightness and has been on the 10-day injured list since June 21. The good news is that Amador has recovered quickly, but his struggles in his brief time at the big-league level might keep him back in Hartford upon his activation. Amador has a bright future ahead of himself, but seem overmatched in his first look at the big-league level with six hits in 35 at-bats and one run and stolen base. Amador should be rostered in dynasty leagues, but is more of a watch-list candidate in redraft leagues for now.

Miami Marlins corner infield prospect Jacob Berry homered in his second consecutive game for Double-A Pensacola on Sunday. Berry went 1-for-3 and drew a walk. Per MLB Pipeline, Berry is the club's No. 6 prospect and is now hitting .199 with four homers, 20 RBI and six stolen bases. The 23-year-old has not shown much power in three years of professional ball, but projected as an all-around offensive threat when drafted sixth overall in the first-round of the 2022 draft. The switch-hitting corner infielder will need to show more signs of life if he wants to make it to the show, but his recent showings have been positive as he is hitting .278 over his last 10 games. For now, Berry remains a name for watchlists in dynasty leagues.
