As the Minor League season progresses, organizations are evaluating prospects for potential promotions. Several players have already moved up a level or made their Major League debuts this month, including notable names like Roman Anthony and Brady House.

Among those pushing for promotion is Johnny King of the Blue Jays, who has impressed with a 1.40 ERA in the Florida Complex League. Orioles’ Samuel Basallo also stands out with his recent power surge in Triple-A. Chandler Simpson of the Rays returned to Triple-A Durham and has maintained a strong performance, while Connelly Early from the Red Sox continues to dominate in Double-A.

Other prospects making waves include Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz from the Yankees and C.J. Kayfus of the Guardians, both showing impressive stats at their respective levels. Carter Jensen of the Royals is another player catching attention with his recent performance in Double-A.

Kevin McGonigle from the Tigers has been on fire since returning from injury, and Gabriel Gonzalez of the Twins continues to impress after being promoted to Double-A Wichita. Braden Montgomery of the White Sox is ready for Double-A after recovering from an ankle injury.

Samy Natera Jr., left-handed pitcher for the Angels, might soon see action in Triple-A due to his striking abilities despite an inflated ERA recently. Astros’ Brice Matthews could address production gaps at second base as he shows promising numbers in Triple-A.

Infielders Tommy White (A’s) and Michael Arroyo (Mariners) are both candidates for promotion based on their consistent performances. Mitch Bratt from Rangers leads in several pitching categories within Double-A Texas League.

Braves’ Ian Mejia might be poised for a move to Triple-A following solid results this season, while Marlins’ Josh Ekness excels as a full-time reliever with remarkable strikeout statistics.

Prospects like Jonah Tong (Mets), Travis Sykora (Nationals), Aroon Escobar (Phillies), Brock Wilken (Brewers), JJ Wetherholt (Cardinals), Jefferson Rojas (Cubs), Edward Florentino (Pirates), Tyson Lewis (Reds), JD Dix (D-backs), Josue De Paula (Dodgers), Jhonny Level (Giants), Braden Nett (Padres) and Charlie Condon (Rockies) continue to demonstrate their readiness for advancement through impressive performances across various leagues.
