No. 73 Bryce Eldridge, 1B, Giants
Promoted to High-A Eugene
When San Francisco nabbed the 6-foot-7 Eldridge with the 16th overall pick in the 2023 Draft out of the Virginia high school ranks, he was announced as a two-way player. But over the past 12 calendar months, his bat has proven so gifted that the team has quickly focused his attention to the batter's box full-time. The 19-year-old graduates from Single-A San Jose among the top of numerous California League offensive categories with 10 home runs (fourth), 45 RBIs (third) and a .478 slugging percentage (sixth) this season.

No. 89 Zac Veen, OF, Rockies
Injury: Low back strain
Expected return: TBD
Veen, 22, began a rehab assignment in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League on June 28 after having previously worked out at the team’s complex in Scottsdale, Ariz. A left hand/thumb injury -- in addition to the back ailment -- had slowed Veen’s progress. Veen was off to a solid start at Double-A Hartford to begin the year, slashing .326/.418/.568 across 28 games. (Last updated: June 28)

In Jobe's first rehab appearance on June 18, the 2021 third overall pick navigated two innings, allowing two runs while striking out one. (Last updated: June 25)

No. 16 Cade Horton, RHP, Cubs
Injury: Right lat strain
Expected return: July
After a recent checkup in Chicago, the 22-year-old Horton was diagnosed with a right lat strain, Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said on June 4. The current plan calls for Horton to be shut down from throwing for three to four weeks while rehabbing at the Cubs’ complex in Arizona.

Horton, who was Chicago’s first-round pick (No. 7 overall) in the 2022 Draft, exited his May 29 start for Triple-A Iowa after logging 20 pitches in one inning (two runs allowed) against Louisville. The righty has posted a 7.50 ERA with 22 strikeouts and 11 walks in 18 innings (five starts) for Iowa, following a four-start stint (1.10 ERA with 18 strikeouts and two walks in 16 1/3 innings) with Double-A Tennessee to begin the season.

No. 17 Andrew Painter, RHP, Phillies
Injury: Partial tear in right elbow
Expected return: 2025
Painter underwent Tommy John surgery in late July 2023, and he is not expected to pitch again until the 2025 season. The right-hander will still be just 21 years old on Opening Day next year.

“We haven’t talked about a timetable or anything like that,” Painter said in February. “We don’t want to clog the mind with different scenarios and play the hypothetical game. We’re just trying to make sure there’s the least amount of distractions possible and I can just go in and focus on my rehab and make sure we’re getting better every day.” (Last updated: May 18)

No. 19 Chase DeLauter, OF, Guardians
Injury: Fractured foot/sprain toe
Expected return: TBD
After missing over a month due to a fracture in his surgically repaired left foot, the Guardians' No. 1 prospect returned to action on May 28, only to leave the contest after two plate appearances due to a sprained toe on his right foot. He sprained the toe running into the outfield wall while chasing down a fly ball. Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said it didn't sound like the injury was too serious, but DeLauter has been out of Double-A Akron's lineup ever since. (Last updated: June 25)

No. 23 Jeferson Quero, C, Brewers
Injury: Torn labrum in right shoulder
Expected return: 2025
Triple-A Nashville catcher Jeferson Quero underwent season-ending surgery for a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder, delaying until 2025 the rapid ascent of one of baseball’s top catching prospects.

Quero, 21, dislocated his right shoulder in his Triple-A debut when he dove back to first base. After being examined by Brewers team doctors, Quero sought a second opinion from shoulder guru Dr. Barry Meister, the same surgeon who repaired Milwaukee starter Brandon Woodruff’s shoulder last fall, and elected for a surgical route that will sideline Quero for approximately nine months.

No. 28 Jasson Domínguez, OF, Yankees
Injury: Left oblique strain
Expected return: September

No. 29 Emmanuel Rodriguez, OF, Twins
Injury: Right thumb strain
Expected return: TBD
Rodriguez was in his first game back from a hand injury that had kept him out of action for a week when he appeared to sprain his thumb on a slide into second base on a double to left-center field as part of a 2-for-2 return to the lineup on June 5. He was placed on the Minor League 7-day IL with the injury on June 7. (Last updated: June 7)

No. 31 Jett Williams, SS/OF, Mets
Injury: Right wrist soreness
Expected return: August
Toward the end of April, Williams began dealing with a bout of right wrist soreness, which has kept him off the field beginning April 21. To treat it, Williams received a cortisone injection in early May, but his soreness persisted enough for doctors to administer a second shot later in the month, which also didn't bring Williams back to full health. As a result, he underwent surgery on June 6. Williams is expected to miss eight to 10 weeks. (Last updated: June 7)

No. 36 Ricky Tiedemann, LHP, Blue Jays
Injury: Ulnar nerve inflammation
Expected return: TBD
Tiedemann's rehab start on June 26 for Single-A Dunedin was another great step for the highly touted southpaw. He threw 44 pitches over 2 1/3 innings of scoreless ball, striking out five with a fastball that touched 98.1 mph. The 21-year-old was getting plenty of whiffs and his stuff is clearly back, so this is just a matter of building up his pitch count over the next few outings until he's stretched out at the Minors' highest level.

Tiedemann underwent an MRI and landed on the 7-day Injured List at Triple-A on April 18 after experiencing left elbow discomfort and skipping his start the day before. (Last updated: June 26)

No. 39 Drew Gilbert, OF, Mets
Injury: Right hamstring strain
Expected return: Late June
Gilbert, the top prospect the Mets acquired from the Astros in the Justin Verlander trade last summer, hasn’t played since straining his right hamstring in the second game of an April 6 doubleheader for Triple-A Syracuse. He is on the seven-day Minor League IL but has been deliberate in his rehab process and is unlikely to return until late June. (Last updated: May 31)

No. 43 Xavier Isaac, 1B, Rays
Injury: Undisclosed
Expected return: TBD
Isaac hasn't been in the High-A Bowling Green lineup since June 13. The 20-year-old left-handed slugger twisted his ankle during Spring Training, but recovered in time to mash two homers in Tampa Bay's Spring Breakout game. (Last updated: June 25)

No. 46 Tink Hence, RHP, Cardinals
Injury: Cramping
Expected return: Late June
Hence, the top-ranked player in the Cardinals system, left his June 5 start after two innings because of cramping, according to Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak. The 21-year-old struck out three and threw 20 of his 35 pitches for strikes. Hence was scheduled to return to action the weekend of June 22, but that was delayed by a day or two after he was invited to visit Rickwood Field with other Cardinals prospects for the Negro Leagues tribute game. For the season, Hence is 4-2 with a 3.19 ERA and 71 strikeouts in 53 2/3 innings. (Last updated: June 20)

Injury: Left hamstring strain

He landed on the 7-day Injured List on April 26 before returning to rehab game action in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League on June 18. (Last updated: June 25)

No. 61 Jordan Beck, OF, Rockies
Injury: Broken left hand
Expected return: July
