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 Nick Senzel from the list as he was finally brought up to the big league level by the Reds.
| 2019 Prospect Report | TEAM | POS | LEVEL | COMMENT | |
| 1 | Keston Hiura | MIL | 2B | AAA | Hitting .424 the last 10 with four homers. That run pushes his OPS up to 1.185. He’s ready, but needs a spot. |
| 2 | Jesus Luzardo | OAK | SP | TBD | When healthy, he should push for a spot in the A’s rotation pretty quickly. ETA = Late June? |
| 3 | Luis Urias | SD | 2B/SS | AAA | His last nine: 5 HRs, 10 RBI, 13 runs. Owns a massive 1.207 OPS in 17 games. |
| 4 | Kyle Tucker | HOU | OF | AAA | Finally hitting. Last 10: .333-5-13-8-2. Finally. |
| 5 | Yordan Alvarez | HOU | 1B/OF | AAA | Even better the last 10: .526-3-12-14. Not on 40-man roster though, hampering teams ability to call him up. |
| 6 | Brendan Rodgers | COL | SS | AAA | Crushing it at .415 the last 10 with 11 RBI and 10 runs. That’s 30 runs and a 1.016 OPS in 30 games. |
| 7 | Mitch Keller | PIT | SP | AAA | Just one walk and 16 Ks his last two as he finally seems to be locked in. |
| 8 | Ryan Mountcastle | BAL | 3B | AAA | Has 21 hits the last 10 leading to a .429 AVG. He owns a .345/.370/.545 slash line on the year. |
| 9 | Forrest Whitley | HOU | SP | AAA | Truth? He’s just not performing. Through 14.2 IP: 10.43 ERA, 1.70 WHIP, .300 BAA. |
| 10 | Dylan Cease | CWS | SP | AAA | In 24.1 IP he has 30 Ks and seven walks. He’s got 16 outs just once in five outings. |
| 11 | Jonathan Loaisiga | NYY | SP | AAA | Back in bigs. He starts Wednesday versus the Mariners taking over the rotation spot of James Paxton (knee). |
| 12 | Willie Calhoun | TEX | OF | AAA | The last eight games: 4 HRs, 9 RBI, 10 hits. Season long OPS sits at .940 now with 15 BB and 14 Ks. |
| 13 | Cavan Biggio | TOR | 2B | AAA | Three homers and nine RBI the last eight games. He has 24 BBs and just 19 Ks in 28 games. |
| 14 | Touki Toussaint | ATL | SP | AAA | Back in the minors. He’s up and down. In the bigs he has a 6.35 ERA and 1.76 WHIP, mostly due to one game. |
| 15 | Austin Hays | BAL | OF | AAA | Inching toward a return to game action after missing everything to this point. |
| 16 | Austin Riley | ATL | 3B | AAA | Blazing hot with a .410-7-17 line the last 10. Has just 28 Ks in 30 games, an excellent number for him. |
| 17 | Logan Allen | SD | SP | AAA | Four runs and three walks in four games as he rounds into form. Ready to get big leaguers out. |
| 18 | Bo Bichette | TOR | SS | AAA | Two weeks in to what will likely be a 4-6 week return from injury. |
| 19 | Justus Sheffield | SEA | SP | AAA | Walks continue to harm. Has 23 BBs in 26.1 innings. Great stuff, but he’s just way off. |
| 20 | Dennis Santana | LAD | SP | AAA | Last appeared on April 25th. A big arm, but health, and role are up in the air. |
| 21 | Casey Mize | DET | SP | AA | Simply stellar work. Six outings: 0 HR, 2 R, 2 BB, 36 K. Astounding success really. |
| 22 | Brendan McKay | TB | SP | AA | Has walked six men in five starts with 40 Ks, a 0.81 WHIP and a .179 BAA. |
| 23 | Luis Robert | CWS | OF | AA | Had a 1.432 OPS at Single-A. At AA the number is 1.281. He has 8 HR, 9 SB in 25 games. |
| 24 | Monte Harrison | FLA | OF | AAA | Here come the Ks. 15 in 10 games. Has four homers, six steals and a .898 OPS overall. |
| 25 | Jorge Mateo | OAK | 2B | AAA | Three steals in three games and 10 on the year. Doesn’t have much pop, but boy is he athletic. |
| 26 | A.J. Puk | OAK | SP | E.S. | The big lefty, coming back from TJ, is facing batters in extended spring. Could get minor league clearance soon. |
| 27 | Sixto Sanchez | FLA | SP | AA | Finally out there, and impressive with a solid first game: 5 IP, 2 ER, 1 BB. |
| 28 | Zack Collins | CWS | C | AAA | 17 Ks last 10 though with 10 RBI and 10 runs. Has an impressive .983 OPS through 22 games with 26 RBI. |
| 29 | Ian Anderson | ATL | SP | AA | 5-of-6 outings just three ER. Overall, 2.79 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with 37 Ks in 29 IP. |
| 30 | Yusniel Diaz | BAL | OF | AA | Struggling to find groove. Only one HR and .651 OPS through 20 games. |
| 31 | Brent Honeywell | TB | SP | AAA | Had another setback and has a possible nerve issue, this after shutdown for elbow issue. #VeryWorrisome |
| 32 | Nick Gordon | MIN | SS | AAA | Finally playing. In three games he has three RBI/Runs and six hits. |
| 33 | Matt Manning | DET | SP | AA | Impressive 50 Ks and a mere 8 BBs in six starts (35.2 IP). All the levers are working. |
| 34 | Sean Murphy | OAK | C | AAA | Has an .862 OPS but will miss 4-8 weeks with torn left knee meniscus. |
| 35 | Kolby Allard | ATL | SP | AAA | 5-of-6 outings, 3 R or less. Still has a 1.43 WHIP and a poor 2.00 K/BB ratio. |
| 36 | Bryse Wilson | ATL | SP | AAA | Three BB in four games. Has gone 0-3 with a 5.68 ERA and 1.34 WHIP. |
| 37 | Kyle Wright | ATL | SP | AAA | Just 12 Ks with 17 runs allowed in 17.2 horrid innings thus far. |
| 38 | Nick Madrigal | CWS | 2B | A | Three steals the last nine. Has a solid .355 OBP, but his .738 OPS is pretty poor. |
| 39 | Victor Victor Mesa | LAD | OF | A | The 22 yr. old could come quick. Right now, he’s floundering though: .229/.257/.240 with six steals |
| 40 | Triston McKenzie | CLE | SP | AA | Moving closer to an appearance as he tries to work his way to the big leagues. |
