De Vries has hit safely in 12 of the TinCaps' 18 games and is batting .290 with a .968 OPS, 11 extra-base hits and 16 RBIs. Gameday

Things have turned around quickly for Shaw, who initially struggled after he returned to Triple-A Iowa. The 23-year-old doubled while equaling a career high with four hits and drove in a run for the third straight contest from the leadoff spot. Shaw was 1-for-14 in his first five games back with the I-Cubs but has gone 8-for-14 with three extra-base hits since. Gameday
Christian Moore, 2B, Rocket City (LAA No. 1/MLB No. 64)

Jonny Farmelo, OF, Everett (SEA No. 6/MLB No. 92)
After missing nearly a year of action due to an ACL injury, Farmelo was a big hit in his return with High-A Everett. The 20-year-old homered in his third at-bat during his first Minor League action since injuring his knee last June. Farmelo had not gone deep since connecting for a trio of homers over consecutive games last May 29-30. Full story | Gameday
Aidan Smith, OF, Bowling Green (TB No. 6/MLB No. 100)
Smith continued his recent hot stretch with his first High-A roundtripper, three hits, three runs, a walk and a stolen base for the Hot Rods.

Carson Benge, OF, Brooklyn (NYM No. 3/MLB No. 97)
After a slow start to 2025, Benge is rounding into form. The 19th overall pick in last year's Draft swatted a pair of doubles while setting a career high with four hits and scored twice while extending his hitting streak to five games for High-A Brooklyn. Benge has gone 10-for-20 and raised his average 92 points in that span. The 22-year-old is slashing .292/.403/.415 in 17 games. Gameday
JR Ritchie, RHP, Rome (ATL No. 7)

Ritchie has been nearly unhittable during his first five starts of 2025 with a 1.93 ERA and an 0.93 WHIP while limiting opponents to a .179 average. Gameday
