Texas Rangers infield prospect Sebastian Walcott went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run, and three runs scored on Wednesday for Double-A Frisco. It was the second straight game with a home run for the Rangers' top prospect (MLB No. 9), now with four home runs on the season, and after a 10-game skid with zero extra-base hits, the right-handed hitter has four extra-base hits in his last six games. The 6-foot-4 slugger is hitting .252 thus far, but with a 13.3 percent walk rate, he's logged a solid .360 OBP, which has also helped the Bahamian to eight steals. Look for a promotion to Triple-A later this year, and despite his young age, the 19-year-old has an ETA of 2026 per MLB.com's top prospect list, with the makings of a big-time fantasy producer in the power department.

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark went 2-for-5 with a solo home run on Wednesday for High-A West Michigan. The former third-overall draft pick played 34 games at High-A last year and registered a .264/.344/.421 slash line, but this year through 30 games, he's fully settled in at the plate, slashing .310/.441/.440 with three home runs, four steals, and 27 walks compared to just 19 strikeouts. It certainly looks like the Tigers' top-ranked prospect (MLB No. 7) is well on his way to a promotion to Double-A, and if all goes well, he could be knocking on the door to the big leagues by the end of next season.

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop prospect Konnor Griffin went 3-for-4 on Wednesday with an RBI, two runs scored, and two steals for Single-A Bradenton. The ninth-overall pick in last year's draft has been hitting well all year, but especially so as of late, going 13-for-26 (.500) over his last six games with a double, two home runs, four RBI, nine runs scored, and four stolen bases. For the season, the 19-year-old is slashing .296/.350/.528 with seven home runs and 15 steals, providing plenty of support for a promotion to High-A later this year. The Pirates' second-ranked prospect (MLB No. 37) looks like a potential multi-category producer and could fly through the organization. MLB.com gives him an ETA of 2028, but with his tools, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him arrive sooner, and the 6-foot-4 sluggershould be all over dynasty managers' radar.

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery needed just 18 games at Single-A earlier this season before earning a promotion to High-A at the end of April. Instead of withering in the face of stiffer competition, it has been quite the opposite. After recording a .304/.393/.493 slash line with three home runs, a 22.6 percent K%, and an 11.9 percent BB% in 18 games at Single-A, the 2024 first-rounder is slashing .388/.466/.755 with four home runs, a 19.0 percent K%, and a 12.1 percent BB% in 14 games at High-A. Chicago's fourth-ranked prospect's projected power appears to be coming through, but without the anticipated strikeout issues. Dynasty managers will want to see how the rest of the year plays out, but at this rate, he could make a case for another promotion to Double-A later in the campaign. With seven steals thus far, the switch-hitter could be an eventual multi-category producer for fantasy.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (head) was forced to leave Thursday's series finale against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards after a scary collision in the third inning with teammate Carlos Correa in shallow center field, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune's Bobby Nightengale. The good news for Buxton's fantasy managers is that he went 1-for-2 with a solo home run before departing and being placed in MLB's concussion protocol. It's a good bet that the 31-year-old won't play in Friday's series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers, and if he does have a concussion, he'll be placed on the seven-day concussion injured list. DaShawn Keirsey Jr. moved from left field to center field after Buxton's injury. With Harrison Bader (groin) injured on Wednesday, Keirsey could be in line for regular playing time moving forward.
