Each week we will try to give a quick update on each of the top-40 minor leaguers that could help out in the fantasy game in 2019. Of course, there is an element of uncertainty with all of this as we never quite know when a team will decide to call up a youngster or if that role will be of the full-time variety. We will do our best each week to give you a quick reference guide as to where the elite youngsters are, and if they are performing well enough to bring their game to the Major League level. And yes, there are injuries in the minor leagues as well (if you thought injuries were merely limited to the big-league level).
| 2019 Prospect Report | TEAM | POS | LEVEL | COMMENT | |
| 1 | Vladimir Guerrero | TOR | 3B | AAA | Could be up by the end of the week. Hasn’t played 3 days in a row yet. Has a .970 OPS, 2 HRs in 10 games. |
| 2 | Nick Senzel | CIN | Player | AAA | He’s expected to make his season debut Tuesday. Could be ready in a couple of weeks. |
| 3 | Justus Sheffield | SEA | SP | AAA | Rumors suggest he could be called up to take over after The Opener effort of Kikuchi. |
| 4 | Forrest Whitley | HOU | SP | AAA | Through three he has 13 Ks, 5 BBs and a 1.36 WHIP over 11 IP. Still searching a bit. |
| 5 | Brendan Rodgers | COL | SS | AAA | Nine BB, 8 Ks in 10 games. Overall, has a .250/.347/.428 slash line with three homers. |
| 6 | Keston Hiura | MIL | 2B | AAA | Already gone deep five times with a .942 OPS though he does have 24 Ks in 68 at-bats. |
| 7 | Dylan Cease | CWS | SP | AAA | Has walked three in three outings with 14 punchouts, a 0.82 WHIP and a .180 BAA. |
| 8 | Yordan Alvarez | HOU | 1B/OF | AAA | Hottest hitter in the minors. In 17 games: .339-10-26-15 with a 1.366 OPS with a 1.00 BB/K ratio. |
| 9 | Bo Bichette | TOR | SS | AAA | Bichette was hit on the hand Tuesday, and early reports suggest there is a break. Breaking story. |
| 10 | Kyle Tucker | HOU | OF | AAA | Where is the game? M.I.A right now (.129/.182/.274). |
| 11 | Jesus Luzardo | OAK | SP | TBD | Luzardo is just start to throw. Probably a month or so before he gets into game action. |
| 12 | Willie Calhoun | TEX | OF | AAA | Nothing standout at all in his game so far: .254/.351/.448 with 12 Ks and 10 BBs. |
| 13 | Yusniel Diaz | BAL | OF | AA | A slow start with a .679 OPS, though 11 Ks and 8 BBs in 17 games not bad. |
| 14 | Touki Toussaint | ATL | SP | AAA | Had a great relief outing, got some starting work, and now he’s back in the minors. Up and down. |
| 15 | Logan Allen | SD | SP | AAA | Much better last two times out (3 ER, 11 Ks, 3 BB). That 1.80 K/BB ratio needs to greatly improve. |
| 16 | Mitch Keller | PIT | SP | AAA | Has 22 Ks in 20 IP, but he won’t survive in bigs with that walk rate (5.85 per nine). |
| 17 | Carter Kieboom | WAS | SS | AAA | One of the best hitters in the early going: .371/.500/.581 with 16 RBI in 17 games. |
| 18 | Austin Hays | BAL | OF | AAA | Still hasn’t played (thumb). The Orioles have an OF need with Cedric Mullins demoted. |
| 19 | Jonathan Loaisiga | NYY | SP | AAA | Will likely be up and down all year long. Was called up to start Against the Angels Tuesday. |
| 20 | Dennis Santana | LAD | SP | AAA | First outing in the minors this year: 4 ER, 4 BB in 2.1 IP. #BigLeagueHangover |

| 22 | Griffin Canning | LAA | SP | AAA | Has allowed one ER in three outings with 17 Ks, 2 BBs in 16 IP. |
| 23 | Austin Riley | ATL | 3B | AAA | Hitting .209 on the year with a terrible .602 OPS. At least only 17 Ks in 17 games. |
| 24 | Nick Madrigal | CWS | 2B | A | Has a .354 OBP and 13 RBI but amazingly just two runs scored. |
| 25 | Sixto Sanchez | FLA | SP | AA | The team is being EXTREMELY cautious here. Will debut in May. |
| 26 | Sean Murphy | OAK | C | AAA | Hitting a robust .364/.453/.509 in minors with lone blemish – 15 Ks in 55 ABs. |
| 27 | Brendan McKay | TB | SP | AA | Flat out dominant with 27 Ks in 13.2 IP with only three walks. |
| 28 | Ryan Mountcastle | BAL | 3B | AAA | Won International Player of the Week honors with four homers, 11 RBI and a .889 SLG. |

| 30 | Anthony Alford | TOR | OF | AAA | Has 17 Ks his last 10 with just five hits. Simply cannot find any consistency at all. |
| 31 | Zack Collins | CWS | C | AAA | He has 12 RBI his last 10, and has a .351 OBP on the year, but 14 Ks in 10 games as well. |
| 32 | Kolby Allard | ATL | SP | AAA | In his three AAA starts there is a .280 BAA, 1.43 WHIP and 2.40 K/BB. |
| 33 | Triston McKenzie | CLE | SP | AA | He is closing in on a return to throwing. |
| 34 | Brent Honeywell | TB | SP | AAA | An exam found no structural issues with his elbow, so no great concern. Still, he’s shutdown for now. |
| 35 | Chris Shaw | SF | OF | AA | Four Ks in 33 ABs. Owns a solid .348 OBP and .475 SLG. |
| 36 | Kyle Wright | ATL | SP | AAA | Faired poorly in majors. In one minor lg. outing 5 ER in 4 IP. More of the same. |
| 37 | Casey Mize | DET | SP | A | Dominant. One walk and 21 Ks in 18 IP with just one run allowed. That was before Tuesday outing (8 IP, 1 H, 0 ER). |
| 38 | Nick Gordon | MIN | SS | AAA | Still hasn’t played. |
| 39 | Tyler Beede | SF | SP | AAA | Just 11 hits in 17 IP with a whopping 28 Ks. Ready for a role. |
