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). Teams are just gonna call up young players if they deserve to get a shot in the big leagues anymore, with seemingly no interest in the future and contract concerns. Teams are playing to win right now, and we applaud it.
| 2019 Prospect Report | TEAM | POS | LEVEL | COMMENT | |
| 1 | Jesus Luzardo | OAK | SP | AAA | He will make his next start Saturday at AAA. He could make his debut before the All-Star Game. |
| 2 | Luis Urias | SD | 2B/SS | AAA | Slumping a bit at .233 with 10 Ks the last 10 outing. Watch the Padres call him up now. |
| 3 | Kyle Tucker | HOU | OF | AAA | Last 10: .395-3-11-11-4. Up to 23/17 with a 1.004 OPS on the year. |
| 4 | Dylan Cease | CWS | SP | AAA | That’s eight ERs over his last 5.2 innings with six walks. Not sharp at the moment. |
| 5 | Brendan McKay | TB | SP | AAA | His last 10 outings: 0.85 ERA, 5.1 H/9, 11.0 K/9 and 7.2 K/BB. |
| 6 | Ryan Mountcastle | BAL | 3B | AAA | 14 punchouts and .220 average the last 41 at-bats. Just nine walks in 59 games is concerning. |
| 7 | Bo Bichette | TOR | SS | AAA | Has nine hits last six games to push his slash line up to .282/.374/.462. |
| 8 | Zack Collins | CWS | C | AAA | He can’t be called up to ride the pine. Same time, he’s not taking over from James McCann, so DH? |
| 9 | Jorge Mateo | OAK | 2B | AAA | 10 runs the last nine with a .304 AVG. Just a mere 65 percent success rate on steals (15/23). |
| 10 | Luis Robert | CWS | OF | AA | Slump has included 4-straight hitless and .158 mark his last 38 at-bats to drop AVG to .353. |
| 11 | Zack Gallen | MIA | SP | AAA | Biding his time on farm. Lefties have hit .121, righties .174. |
| 12 | Logan Allen | SD | SP | AAA | He will make his big league debut Tuesday. For more, click on his name. |
| 13 | Matt Manning | DET | SP | AA | Last five outings: seven ERs. Has a 0.87 WHIP in day games, 1.01 in night outings. |
| 14 | Bobby Bradley | CLE | 1B | AAA | Can mash with 22 HRs and .627 SLG. Also has 87 punchouts in just 63 games. |
| 15 | Monte Harrison | FLA | OF | AAA | Back in action, and already has a steal in two games to push him to 20 on the year. |
| 16 | Nick Madrigal | CWS | 2B | AA | Average is up to .295 as he’s hit .417 with 15 hits the last 10. |
| 17 | Yusniel Diaz | BAL | OF | AA | Named Eastern Lg. P.O.T.W after going .364-3-12-7 with a .864 SLG. It’s about time. |
| 18 | Austin Hays | BAL | OF | AAA | Hitting .224 in 31 games and .225 the last 10. Just not getting it done. |
| 19 | Yonathan Daza | COL | OF | AAA | Simply tearing it up hitting .379 in 52 games and an amazing .422 the last 10. |
| 20 | Carter Kieboom | WAS | SS | AAA | In June he’s hit a mere .217 with a .393 SLG. Still has a .373 OBP though. |
| 21 | Devin Smeltzer | MIN | SP | AAA | In two outings since demotion he has one walks and 17 Ks over 10.2 frames. |
| 22 | A.J. Puk | OAK | SP | A | He’s allowed a run in both two inning outing, though 7-of-12 outs are by punchout. |
| 23 | Nick Gordon | MIN | SS | AAA | He has a .792 OPS with a 0.29 BB/K. There’s still not much to love with the offensive game. |
| 24 | Anthony Alford | TOR | OF | AAA | Blazing of late. The last 10: .389-1-6-5-6. He can run, but contact is an issue. |
| 25 | Anthony Kay | NYM | SP | AAA | A 2.05 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, .179 BAA and 76 punchouts in 70.1 innings. |
| 26 | Adbert Alzolay | CHC | SP | AAA | Sounds like a call up is possible. He has a 1.08 WHIP and 49 Ks in 36 IP. |
| 27 | Sixto Sanchez | FLA | SP | AA | One BB in 4-straight. Last five all at least 5.0 IP. Could get MLB hitters out right now. |
| 28 | Nate Pearson | TOR | SP | AA | He hasn’t cleared 5.0 IP in 14 outings. No walks the last three, but only nine innings pitched. 0.78 WHIP on year. |
| 29 | Enyel De Los Santos | PHI | SP | AAA | Four ER last four outings. Could get a shot with unlevel in Phils’ rotation. Also 44 Ks in 35.3 innings. |
| 30 | Nate Lowe | TB | 1B | AAA | The offensive uptick the last 10 is obvious: .323-2-9-7 with 10 walks. |
| 31 | Ian Anderson | ATL | SP | AA | At least 7 Ks in 5-straight. Just 3 ERs the last three outings to drop ERA to 2.85. |
| 32 | Casey Mize | DET | SP | AA | He has shoulder inflammation and the team is going to be very cautious with him in the short-term. |
| 33 | Forrest Whitley | HOU | SP | AAA | Still working his way back from shoulder woes. Might not see him at all in bigs this year. |
| 34 | Jared Walsh | LAA | 1B | AAA | Hitting .350 with four homers and 13 runs last 10. Has a .301/.403/.564 slash line on year. |
| 35 | Jake Fraley | SEA | OF | AA | All the vets are getting dealt. Fraley has a .922 OPS with 11 HRs and 16 SBs. |
| 36 | Sean Murphy | OAK | C | AAA | Finally getting close to a return to game action. We think. Could see him behind the dish in second half. |
| 37 | Joe Palumbo | TEX | SP | AAA | 4 outings in a row less than 5 IP, even though allowed just four ER in total. |
| 38 | Alex Kiriloff | MIN | OF | AA | Hitting .351 the last 10. Only a mere .402 SLG as he’s not driving the ball yet. |
| 39 | Dennis Santana | LAD | SP | AAA | 2 ERs or less in 3-of-4 (8 ERs in the other). Has a 1.64 WHIP in 10 disappointing outings. |
| 40 | Yewnnsy Diaz | TOR | SP | AA | The 1.18 WHIP is nice, but the 2.047 K/BB and 58 Ks in 74.2 innings leave a bit to be desired. |
