Making his Triple-A debut on Sunday, Atlanta Braves pitching prospect Hurston Waldrep was brilliant. Waldrep threw six frames and allowed five hits, three runs and one walk with 11 strikeouts. The former Florida Gator had his splitter on full display as he reached a new career-high for strikeouts. Between Double-A Mississippi and Triple-A Gwinnett, Waldrep is now 3-5 with a 3.09 ERA in 10 starts to go along with 59 strikeouts in 55 1/3 innings. It was an impressive display for the consensus Top-100 prospect that continues to knock down every wall in front of him. With the Braves still trying to figure out the end of their rotation, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Waldrep get an opportunity, should he continue to mow down hitters in Triple-A. Waldrep makes for a strong stash in redraft leagues for managers that have a spot and at the very least should be on watch lists with his potential to do major damage on a good team with the right opportunity.

Milwaukee Brewers corner infield prospect Tyler Black continued his strong 2024 campaign with a grand slam on Sunday for Triple-A Nashville. Black would finish the game 2-for-6 with two runs and five RBI. Black is now hitting .282 with eight homers and 35 RBI to go along with nine stolen bases on the season. Black is one of the Brewers top prospects and a consensus Top-100 with his ability to help across the board being a big reason why. The 23-year-old got a cup of coffee with the Brewers earlier this season and went 5-for-22 in limited action. With no clear path to playing time, it makes the most sense for Black to get steady at-bats for Nashville, but he could be one of the first names called upon if a spot opens at the big-league level. He remains a good stash in redraft leagues and should remain rostered in dynasty leagues.

The Cleveland Guardians have promoted shortstop/third base prospect Angel Genao to High-A Lake County. Genao,20, was dominating Single-A in his second go-around with a .341 batting average that was accompanied by six homers, 39 RBI and 12 stolen bases. Genao signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2021 and has shown the ability to be a very good contact hitter. Scouts also like his baseball IQ and he has shown the ability to be a very good defender at a young age. Genao is still a few seasons away from being considered in the fantasy community, but he makes for a fun watch-list candidate to monitor.

Baltimore Orioles second base prospect Connor Norby is being promoted to the major league roster and is expected to join Baltimore for their series opener on Monday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Norby will most likely serve as a replacement for Jorge Mateo (head) who left Sunday's game early with a head injury. Norby has played 198 games at the Triple-A level since 2022 and has logged an overall .293/.365/.501 line with 34 home runs, 135 RBI, and 17 stolen bases. This season, Norby was riding a .374 OBP and .510 SLG through 51 games at Triple-A. Norby is worth adding in deeper leagues as he could have prime RBI opportunities batting in a strong Baltimore lineup. However, playing time could be a concern as he will likely share opportunities at the keystone with Ramon Urias.

Miami Marlins starting pitching prospect Noble Meyer dazzled in his High-A debut, where he tossed five shutout innings with six strikeouts. He allowed just two hits and no free passes. This is a great sign for the top prospect in Miami, as he looked quite comfortable seeing High-A batters for the first time. The 19-year-old opened the season with Single-A and posted a 2.65 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 23:43 BB:K ratio. Meyer only got a small taste of Single-A last season, so it is very promising to see Meyer already making the jump to High-A. Noble Meyer is considered the number 44 overall prospect on MLB Pipeline and the number eight overall right-handed pitcher. While he is still a couple of seasons away from his major league debut, the former tenth-overall pick is developing into one of the best pitching prospects in baseball and is worth stashing in all dynasty leagues.
