Josue De Paula Lands On Minors Injured List
5 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Josue De Paula (undisclosed) was placed on the seven-day injured list in the minors on Friday after he was removed in the ninth inning on Wednesday and was out of the lineup on the Fourth of July on Thursday for High-A Great Lakes. The 19-year-old had been promoted from Single-A Rancho Cucamonga to Great Lakes at the end of June after hitting .279/.388/.447 with six home runs and 14 stolen bases in 55 games for the Quakes. He had gone 4-for-22 (.182) with two steals in eight games at Great Lakes before getting hurt the other day. It remains to be seen how serious De Paula's injury is, but he won't be a candidate for the big leagues for at least several more seasons. Per MLB Pipeline, he's LA's No. 2 prospect behind only catcher/first baseman Dalton Rushing.
