TUESDAY

4:30 p.m. ET – Glendale (CIN, CWS, LAD, PHI, STL) @ Peoria (ATL, MIA, MIL, SD, SEA)
Nobody is scoring in the kinds of bunches this fall like the Desert Dogs, who lead the AFL in runs scored through two weeks of play. They have AFL RBI leader Zyhir Hope (LAD No. 11), prospect Colson Montgomery (MLB No. 37/CWS No. 3), Cardinals' No. 4 prospect Thomas Saggese and several other sluggers swinging well. Meanwhile, the Javelinas are led by AFL home run leader Kemp Alderman (MIA No. 12) and Padres top prospects Ethan Salas (MLB No. 19/SD No. 1) and Leodalis De Vries (MLB No. 28/SD No. 2).

9:30 p.m. ET – Scottsdale (DET, NYM, PIT, SF, TOR) @ Salt River (ARI, COL, MIN, NYY, WSH)
If the AFL MVP Award was given out tomorrow, Scottsdale catcher/infielder Josue Briceño (DET No. 9) might take home the hardware for his outstanding first two weeks on the circuit. He leads the league in slugging and OPS, and he ranks second in hits and homers so far. Salt River has been middle-of-the-pack offensively as a team thus far but features two strong tablesetters in Robert Hassell III (WSH No. 13) and Garrett Martin (Yankees) at the top of the lineup.

9:30 p.m. ET – Mesa (BOS, CHC, LAA, OAK, TB) @ Surprise (BAL, CLE, HOU, KC, TEX)
Guardians No. 2 prospect (MLB No. 41) Chase DeLauter has performed to his liking so far this fall for Surprise, and the Orioles’ Jake Cunningham (outfield) and catcher Creed Willems (BAL No. 22) have been solid contributors for the Saguaros. Meanwhile, Mesa features serious pop behind the plate in backstops Moises Ballesteros (MLB No. 44 /CHC No. 4) and Brooks Brannon (BOS No. 27).
