Former first-rounders Jace Jung and Max Muncy are back in the Midwest League after finishing last season in the same place. The second time around, the infielders hope to show improvements from where they were a year ago.
Moving Willson Contreras off catcher creates new lineup considerations in St. Louis. Plus injuries and promotions galore across both leagues that affect projected playing time.
There's a path to Nolan Jones earning playing time in COL and he's kicking the door down to the majors. Plus, the Jason Heyward renaissance in LA, a lineup shakeup for SD, another prospect call-up in SF, and Alek Thomas is falling out of favor in ARI.
Nick Lodolo seemed poised for a breakout 2023 season, but he has a 6.29 ERA and 1.75 WHIP through 34 IP. Is there cause for concern? Plus, Andrew McCutchen, Brad Boxberger, Luis García, and Brian Anderson.
RHP Michael King was a hot pickup at this past Sunday's FAB deadlines. But should he have been? Also: Hall's chances of getting a call in BAL, Valdez seizes opportunity in BOS, the latest on a muddled OF-DH picture in TAM and Guerrero's wrist concerns in TOR.
Sean Murphy starts with an early power surge, Alex Cobb can continue to help ratios, Rodolfo Castro looks to increase his HR pace, Marcus Stroman is due for some ratio regression, and Connor Joe is getting settled in Pittsburgh.
