Some of baseballs top prospects have made their MLB debuts within the last week, but dont expect any of the Tigers top minor leaguers to be appearing in 2025. In an interview with MLB Network this past week (hat tip to ), Tigers GM Jon Greenberg said a call-up of shortstop prospect is likely not on the radar right now , and Greenberg also downplayed the po sibility of or arriving in the majors. Theyve only been in Double-A for a month. Its been fewer than 30 games , the GM said. Really excited with what Kevin has done, really excited with what Max has done, and some of the other guys in our system. But right now, the focus is on their development and getting the reps to continue to take those steps forward . MLB Pipeline and Baseball America each rank McGonigle as the second-best prospect in baseball, Clark ninth, and Briceno also in a prominent top-100 spot (Pipeline has him 32nd, BA 54th). As Greenberg noted, none of the group has much experience even at the Double-A level, though McGonigle and Clark have both been on fire at the plate since their call-up. While it seems like a further promotion to Triple-A could be po sible before the 2025 season is through, any of these top prospects would very likely have to further excel in Toledo, and then the Tigers would have to feel confident enough to install any of these rookies right into Frank Robinson Jersey the extra pre sure of a postseason push. There isnt much urgency for Detroit to make such an aggre sive prospect promotion, as the Tigers have a 10.5-game division lead and look to be cruising towards the AL Central crown. More from within the division A rotator cuff strain sent to the injured list in early June, but the Royals southpaw seems to be making good progre s towards a late-season return. Manager Matt Quatraro told and other reporters that things went really well during a 30-pitch bullpen for Ragans on Thursday, which was Ragans fourth pen se sion. The next step is an up-down se sion today. Since Ragans will surely need at least couple of minor league rehab outings as the final stage of his recovery proce s, it would seem like the second week of September would be the absolute earliest Ragans might be able to return to the K.C. rotation. While a timeline is still very fluid, getting Ragans back would be a late boost to a Royals team that has won 14 of its last 22 games to surge back into the wild card race. The White Sox called catcher up from Triple-A yesterday, creating what is technically a bit of a logjam since and are already both on the active roster. However, manager told reporters (including ) that having a third catcher available gives the Sox the ability to have both Teel and Quero in the lineup at catcher and DH, without worrying that an injury would leave the team short-handed during a game. Naturally the White Sox want to see as much as they can from both Teel and Quero in their rookie seasons, as the former top prospects both appear to be key pieces of Chicagos rebuild, even if theres still a lingering question about who will eventually emerge as the regular catcher.
