AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST

Blue Jays: Vladimir Guerrero Jr., 3B (No. 1, No. 1 in MLB) -- 3-for-5, RBI (Triple-A Buffalo); Nate Pearson, RHP (No. 4, No. 74 in MLB) -- 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 K (Class A Advanced Dunedin)
The anticipation continues to build as everyone waits for the Blue Jays to call up Guerrero. After going 3-for-5, the 20-year-old is hitting .500 (5-for-10) with Buffalo. Pearson set career highs in strikeouts and innings as he carved his way through the Bradenton lineup.

Orioles: Zac Lowther, LHP (No. 8) -- 4 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 5 BB, 2 K (Double-A Bowie)
After spinning five scoreless frames in his season debut, Lowther ran into some adversity for the first time in 2019. The command wasn't quite as sharp for the lefty, but he's allowed just two runs over nine innings and has struck out eight.
Orioles prospects stats »

Rays: Shane McClanahan, LHP (No. 11) -- 5 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 5 K (Class A Bowling Green)
McClanahan bounced back after a rough start on April 10, during which he only recorded one out. Prior to that outing, the 2018 first-round comp pick had yet to allow a run in the first five starts of his young career. The lefty went five innings for the second time this season and threw 47 of his 81 pitches for strikes.
Rays prospects stats »

Red Sox: Michael Chavis, 3B/1B (No. 1, No. 77 in MLB) -- 2-for-4, HR, RBI (Triple-A Pawtucket)
Chavis is officially heating up. The Red Sox top prospect snapped an 0-for-19 skid with a trio of hits on Saturday and followed that up with another multihit effort on Sunday. Not only is Chavis racking up the hits, but he's also homered in each of the past two games.
Red Sox prospects stats »

Yankees: Nick Nelson, RHP (No. 11) -- 5 IP, 0 R, 4 H, 6 BB, 7 K (Double-A Trenton)
Though he had control issues as evidenced by the six walks he issued, Nelson worked his way out of trouble when he needed to, fanning seven and completing five scoreless innings during Trenton's 10-0 victory over Portland. The right-hander advanced from Class A to Double-A in 2018, combining to post a 3.55 ERA and 28 percent strikeout rate across three levels.

A day after hitting his first homer of the year Matias went deep twice for the Blue Rocks. The 20-year-old exploded and hit 31 homers last season, including four two-homer games, and 10 games into 2019 it seems he's ready to post more impressive power numbers.
Royals prospects stats »

Tigers: Kyle Funkhouser, RHP (No. 11) -- 6.0 IP, 2 ER, 2 H, 5 BB, 6 K (Triple-A Toledo)
Funkhouser bounced back following a pair of difficult outings to open the season, though the five walks he issued in Toledo's 3-0 loss to Norfolk makes 10 on the season for the right-hander, in 12 1/3 innings. In 17 starts with Double-A Eerie last season, he posted a 3.74 ERA before a promotion to Triple-A late in the season. With Toledo he gave up six runs in 8 2/3 innings over two starts.

White Sox: Dylan Cease, RHP (No. 3, MLB No. 21) -- 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K (Triple-A Charlotte)

Raleigh delivered the big blow with a three-run homer in the eighth inning of Modesto's 5-1 victory over Stockton. It was the catcher's second homer of the season, though he's gotten off to a slow start overall, slashing .189/.302/.351 on the season after posting a .902 OPS with eight home runs in 38 games during his first professional campaign last year.
Mariners prospects stats »

Rangers: Anderson Tejeda, SS/2B (No. 4) -- 2-for-5, 2 HR, 3 RBI (Class A Advanced Down East)
After putting together a perfect 3-for-3 day at the plate on Saturday, Tejeda opted to follow it up in a big way. The 20-year-old, who went 5-for-8 over the weekend and is hitting .395 this season, has three two-homer games in his career after Sunday's effort.
Rangers prospects stats »

NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST

Braves: Kyle Muller, LHP (No. 13) -- 3.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 7 K (Double-A Mississippi)
Muller undoubtedly would have liked to limit the walks, but it was still a solid outing for the lefty, who hasn't allowed a run in two starts this season. Muller went 4-1 with a 3.10 ERA in five Double-A starts to close the 2018 season and is off to a strong start at the level this year, beginning the year with seven scoreless frames.

Marlins prospects stats »

Mets: Ronny Mauricio, SS (No. 3) -- 4-for-6, RBI (Class A Columbia)
Mauricio, 18, went 0-for-4 on Opening Day, but that feels like a distant memory now as he's hit in eight straight games, culminating in today's four-hit effort, a career high.
Mets prospects stats »

Phillies: Alec Bohm, 3B (No. 1, No. 57 in MLB) -- 2-for-3, HR, 3 RBI (Class A Lakewood)
Bohm didn't homer in 40 games after the Phillies selected him in the first round of the 2018 Draft. However, Bohm's homerless streak is now over. The 22-year-old hit his first professional homer for Lakewood and the three RBIs matched his career high.
Phillies prospects stats »

Nationals: Malvin Pena, RHP (No. 14) -- 5.1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 9 K (Class A Advanced Potomac)
The stat line is a bit deceiving and doesn't quite illustrate how dominant Pena was early in his start. The 21-year-old struck out five of the first seven batters he faced and carried a no-hitter into the sixth. However, things started to unravel a bit in the sixth and Pena was lifted.
Nationals prospects stats »

Cardinals prospects stats »

Pirates: Travis Swaggerty, OF (No. 3, MLB No. 84) -- 1-for-4, HR, 2 RBI (Class A Advanced Bradenton)
Swaggerty hit his first homer of the year and the two RBIs brought his season total to three. Swaggerty, a first-round pick from the 2018 Draft, hit .239 over 52 games in his professional debut last year.
Pirates prospects stats »

Reds: Alfredo Rodriguez, SS (No. 29) -- 1-for-2, 2 RBI (Double-A Chattanooga)
Rodriguez boosted his average to .333 with a two-run single in a loss against Jackson. A hammate bone injury caused Rodriguez to miss the bulk of the 2018 season, but when he was on the field he struggled and hit .210 in 46 games.
Reds prospects stats »

Giants prospects stats »

Padres: Buddy Reed, POS (No. 17) -- 2-for-4, HR, RBI (Double-A Amarillo)
Reed continued his home run barrage with a solo blast in the third inning. The 23-year-old didn't homer on Saturday, but has gone deep five times in the past five days and has a total of six homers through 11 games this season. Reeds' career high is 13, which he set in 122 games last season.
