Story’s Rehab Sparks Mixed Sunday Across Red Sox Minor Leagues

Sunday brought a mixed batch of results for Boston’s farm system: Trevor Story, currently rehabbing, went 1-for-2 with a double as Worcester’s WooSox lost 6-9 and struggled on the mound (Holobetz). The Worcester club did get a late spark from the system’s rehab efforts and Mikey Romero’s homer, but it wasn’t enough. Across the system, Portland fell 6-8 in a bullpen-heavy game; Greenville Drive won 10-5 behind multi-homer contributions from Justin Gonzales and a 14th homer from Yophery Rodriguez, and Salem dropped 5-8 with Jose Bello lasting four innings. The day highlighted the ongoing rehab and development arc for Story and other prospects in Boston’s farm pipeline.

Rays Take a Chance on Peralta as Mets Stockpile Prospects

The Rays acquire right-hander Freddy Peralta from the Mets for three minor leaguers—Émilien Pitre, Aidan Smith, and Gary Gill Hill—as a buy-low move after Peralta’s command issues this season. Tampa Bay hopes to fix him using their track record with pitchers, while New York nets a solid trio of prospects, headlined by Pitre’s strong Double-A numbers though Smith has struggled and Hill is a touch-projectable arm. Overall, it’s a balanced two-month swap: a possible rebound starter for the Rays and a promising, if not elite, prospect group for the Mets.

Baez's four-homer burst fuels Cardinals' call-up buzz

Joshua Baez’s four-homer game at Triple-A underscores a power breakout that could push him to the majors, though his elevated strikeout rate remains a concern; the Prospects Report also highlights Josiah Hartshorn as this year’s major breakthrough and notes Luis Lara’s strong defense and recent seven-year extension as likely precursors to a big-league look, with other notable names like Karson Milbrandt, River Ryan, and Yohandy Morales watching closely as teams balance timing and roster needs.

Brewers Move Quinn Priester to Complex League for Rehab Reset

Milwaukee sent pitcher Quinn Priester from Triple-A Nashville to the Arizona Complex League to continue rehab from thoracic outlet syndrome after a rough stretch that included a poor Nashville outing and a 21.60 ERA over six minor-league starts. The Brewers want a low-pressure environment to rebuild his form, with manager Pat Murphy saying Priester isn’t progressing in Triple-A and could be out for about another month. Priester had shown promise in 2025 (157 1/3 innings, 3.32 ERA after adding a cutter), but the club is managing rotation injuries while he restarts his recovery.

White Sox Call Up Jacob Gonzalez as Murakami Lands on IL

The White Sox plan to add Jacob Gonzalez to the MLB roster after Munetaka Murakami is sidelined by a right hamstring injury, pending a 40-man move that could involve Jordan Leasure going to the 60-day IL. Gonzalez, a 2023 first-round pick from Ole Miss, has exploded in Triple-A Charlotte in 2026 with 18 homers in 54 games and a .308/.414/.646 line, leading the minors in homers and posting a strong OPS as he nears his 24th birthday debut; he’s versatile enough to handle shortstop and other infield duties, likely sharing the left side of the infield with Colson Montgomery while Murakami is out.

The Mets are calling up top prospect A.J. Ewing from the minors to the majors, hoping his strong .339/.447/.514 line between Double-A and Triple-A this season—with speed (17 steals) and solid defense in center—gives the struggling club a much-needed offensive spark alongside Carson Benge in the outfield as they head into a series with the Tigers.

Yankees Hint Lombard Jr. May Fast-Track to MLB on Minor-League Tear

The Yankees are signaling that George Lombard Jr. could be fast-tracked to the majors if his strong minor-league performance continues, with a swing tweak for power and added third-base experience at Double-A. His defense is viewed as MLB-ready, and if his bat proves undeniable in Triple-A—potentially after about 30 strong games—he could earn a big-league debut sooner than expected.
