Dalton Rushing Finishes Strong Before The Break

Los Angeles Dodgers catching/first base prospect Dalton Rushing hit safely in eight of his last nine games for Double-A Tulsa before the break, going 12-for-35 (.343) over that stretch. For the season he's amassed a .266-10-46-36-0 line. It's unclear, however, if the Dodgers' top prospect is closer to a promotion or a trade, as his […]

Drake Baldwin Homers In Futures Game

Atlanta Braves catcher prospect Drake Baldwin went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in this year's All-Star Futures Game. Hit around 107 mph, it was one of the hardest-hit balls of the night.

Kyle Teel Collects Two Doubles In Futures Game

Boston Red Sox catching prospect Kyle Teel shined in this year's All-Star Futures Game. The only player on either team to collect multiple hits, Teel was 2-for-2 with a pair of doubles.

Martin Maldonado Dropped From 40-Man Roster

The Chicago White Sox designated veteran catcher Martin Maldonado for assignment on Wednesday, according to sources.

The 21-year-old is considered the team's No. 9 prospect, per MLB […]

Victor Caratini Starts Rehab Assignment

Houston Astros catcher Victor Caratini (hip) has been sent out on a minor-league rehab assignment with the rookie-level Florida Complex League Astros.
