Salas, Jenkins, Montes lead a compact yet telling September call-up wave
September rosters expanded to 28, yielding a select group of notable call-ups: Padres catcher Ethan Salas, the top-promoted prospect of the month, has impressed in Triple-A and offers a left-handed bat and strong defense as he eyes immediate big-league action; Twins outfielder Walker Jenkins debuted with encouraging power and contact skills but health will be key; Mariners outfielder Lazaro Montes showcases elite raw power yet swing-and-miss and pitch recognition issues remain concerns; additional notes cover Luis De León, Leo Bernal, and Yohandy Morales as potential contributors or long-term assets, with Keith Law weighing how these debuts could influence the postseason push and player development.
