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). This week, we lose Vlad Guerrero from the list as he was finally brought up to the big league level by the Blue Jays.
| 2019 Prospect Report | TEAM | POS | LEVEL | COMMENT | |
| 1 | Nick Senzel | CIN | Player | AAA | Has an 18-game hitting streak and reports hint he could be promoted to The Show Friday. |
| 2 | Justus Sheffield | SEA | SP | AAA | Down after short outing. He’s allowed four earned runs his last three starts in minors with BB being the issue. |
| 3 | Forrest Whitley | HOU | SP | AAA | Only nine innings his last three outings allowing 10 earned runs. |
| 4 | Keston Hiura | MIL | 2B | AAA | Continues to mash. Only needs an opportunity. Has a .318-7-17 line with a 1.033 OPS. |
| 5 | Griffin Canning | LAA | SP | AAA | For more on Canning, click on his Player Profile. |
| 6 | Yordan Alvarez | HOU | 1B/OF | AAA | Pronounced “Jordan”, Alvarez cannot be stopped. His last 10: .375-5-17-11. Has a 1.310 OPS on the year. |
| 7 | Carter Kieboom | WAS | SS | AAA | We all know he’s with the Nationals now. Click on the link for his Player Profile. |
| 8 | Brendan Rodgers | COL | SS | AAA | Hitting a massive .410 with four homer and 14 runs scored the last 10. OPS is up to .999 on the year. |
| 9 | Kyle Tucker | HOU | OF | AAA | On pace for 30 homers and 20 steals, but also hitting .173 with a .221 OBP. |
| 10 | Jesus Luzardo | OAK | SP | TBD | He’s throwing again. He could return to game action by the end of the month. |
| 11 | Dylan Cease | CWS | SP | AAA | Has a 4.3 K/BB ratio and a 1.15 WHIP over five outings. |
| 12 | Willie Calhoun | TEX | OF | AAA | Has two homers and five RBI his last three with a .875 OPS in the year. |
| 13 | Mitch Keller | PIT | SP | AAA | Had 10 Ks last outing. That’s 32 in 25 innings but still has an unacceptable 5.04 BB/9 rate which is odd. |
| 14 | Touki Toussaint | ATL | SP | AAA | Rough last outing with 11 hits and four runs. He could be up and down all year with plethora of Braves arms. |
| 15 | Austin Hays | BAL | OF | AAA | He’s taking BP cuts coming back from a thumb issue. With Cedric Mullins demoted, there’s a big-league spot up for grabs. |
| 16 | Jonathan Loaisiga | NYY | SP | AAA | Up and down. Up and down. It’s likely to be that way with him all season long. |
| 17 | Dennis Santana | LAD | SP | AAA | Has struggled in two outings allowing six runs and four walks. |
| 18 | Cal Quantrill | SD | SP | AAA | For more on Quantrill, click on his Player Profile. |
| 19 | Logan Allen | SD | SP | AAA | Passed over for Quantrill. Allen has allowed five runs with three walks his last three outings. |
| 20 | Cavan Biggio | TOR | 2B | AAA | Has a massive .495 OBP this season with 11 walks, three homers and 10 RBI the last 10 games. |
| 21 | Austin Riley | ATL | 3B | AAA | Has hit .361 with three homers, nine RBI and nine runs scored last 10. Donaldson has a sore calf… |
| 22 | Bo Bichette | TOR | SS | AAA | He won’t need surgery but he will miss 4-6 week with a fracture in his left hand. We wont see him before the All-Star Break. |
| 23 | Sean Murphy | OAK | C | AAA | Slowing a bit of late, but he still owns a substantial .862 OPS and an impressive .402 OBA. |
| 24 | Brendan McKay | TB | SP | AA | Sheer dominance personified: 33 Ks, 4 BB, 0.86 WHIP in 18.2 innings. |
| 25 | Ryan Mountcastle | BAL | 3B | AAA | Has 12 Ks the last 10 but also hitting .341 with two homers. Looks pretty close to ready. |
| 26 | Yusniel Diaz | BAL | OF | AA | Just isn’t hitting yet. That .651 OPS is awful, but at least only 13 Ks on the season. |
| 27 | Monte Harrison | FLA | OF | AAA | Last 10 games: three homers, eight RBI, nine runs and 15 Ks. Has a .931 season OPS. |
| 28 | Jorge Mateo | OAK | 2B | AAA | Has a hit in 9-of-10 to push line to .352/.397/.546. Blazing fast, he has 7 steals in 10 attempts. |
| 29 | Sixto Sanchez | FLA | SP | AA | He will pitch this month, the Marlins swear. Tremendous talent being handled with kiddie gloves. |
| 30 | Zack Collins | CWS | C | AAA | Has a 5-game hitting streak leading a season long line of .275/.384/.623 with 21 RBI in 19 games. |
| 31 | Kolby Allard | ATL | SP | AAA | Control has been off with eight walks his last 13 innings with eight runs allowed. |
| 32 | Brent Honeywell | TB | SP | AAA | Still in a holding pattern after his recent “minor” setback. Best case in MLB seems to be late in year. |
| 33 | Casey Mize | DET | SP | AA | Dominance thy name is Mize. Still, he may not have much of a shot at the bigs this season. |
| 34 | Tyler Beede | SF | SP | AAA | Lost some luster, and heat, but will start Friday for Giants and has 1.99 ERA and 13.50 K/9 this year. |
| 35 | Bryse Wilson | ATL | SP | AAA | Has 23 Ks in 21.1 IP and has only walked four. Still has allowed 14 runs. |
| 36 | Nick Madrigal | CWS | 2B | A | Four steals his last 10 games but an underwhelming .282/.367/.388 slash line. |
| 37 | Triston McKenzie | CLE | SP | AA | Still strengthening his shoulder. He should be able to return to the mound this month. We hope. |
| 38 | Kyle Wright | ATL | SP | AAA | Season has been a disaster. After Braves hiccup – three AAA starts with 11.81 ERA and 2.16 WHIP. |
| 39 | Anthony Alford | TOR | OF | AAA | A great talent who just can’t hit. He’s at .499 in the OPS column in 19 games with 30 Ks. |
| 40 | Nick Gordon | MIN | SS | AAA | Checked with an inside source, and there is just a total blackout when it comes to his health situation. Active now. |
