Josue De Paula crushes two homers at Double-A

LAD Right Fielder #90

Player Stats

Dodgers OF prospect Josue De Paula went 4-for-5 with two homers on Wednesday for Double-A Tulsa.

His teammate Mike Sirota also homered while extending his on-base streak to a surreal 65 consecutive games. The tandem were named to the National League’s roster for the upcoming 2026 MLB All-Star Futures Game earlier this week. It was De Paula’s second multi-homer performance of the season as he’s slashing a robust .322/.419/.563 with 15 round-trippers and 21 steals in 73 games. The Athletic’s Katie Woo reported earlier this week that De Paula is basically the lone untouchable prospect in Los Angeles’ system approaching next month’s trade deadline. He’s evolved into a top-five range fantasy prospect in dynasty leagues and has a chance to be a five-category monster as part of the Dodgers loaded lineup once he reaches the majors.

Jesus Made

MIL Shortstop #91

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Brewers SS prospect Jesús Made has been named to the National League’s roster for the 2026 MLB All-Star Futures Game.

Made is the consensus top-overall prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline. The 19-year-old prodigy is hitting .281/.355/.411 in 67 games at Double-A with seven home runs, 51 RBI, 51 runs scored, 23 steals, and a 46/31 K/BB ratio. He joins Nationals shortstop Eli Willits (third-overall prospect), Dodgers outfielder Josue De Paula (fourth-overall prospect), Pirates righty Seth Hernandez (sixth-overall prospect) as the clear headliners on the senior circuit squad. The 2026 MLB All-Star Future Game will take place Sunday, July 12 at Noon ET on NBC.
Josue De Paula

LAD Right Fielder #90

Dodgers OF prospect Josue De Paula went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer and five RBI on Wednesday for Double-A Tulsa.

It’s easy to forget that the Dodgers boast one of the strongest farm systems in baseball with a quartet of elite outfield prospects in De Paula, Eduardo Quintero, Zyhir Hope and Mike Sirota. Not to mention the emergence of James Tibbs III at Triple-A this year. The 20-year-old prodigy is among the most intriguing fantasy-wise based on his power/speed blend and has a real shot at making it to Los Angeles by the end of the year or early next season.
Josue De Paula

LAD Right Fielder #90

Dodgers optioned OF Ryan Ward and LHP Ronan Kopp to Triple-A Oklahoma City; reassigned OFs Josue De Paula and Kendall George, RHPs Carlos Duran, Wyatt Mills and Jordan Weems and LHP Jackson Ferris to minor league camp.

DePaula is a top-20 prospect in dynasty formats and ranks alongside fellow outfielders Eduardo Quintero, Zyhir Hope and Mike Sirota at the top of Los Angeles’ farm system. The 20-year-old phenom has a chance to make his big-league debut later this season after hitting .250/.391/.400 with 12 homers and 32 steals in 445 plate appearances between Double-A Tulsa and High-A Great Lakes last year. It’s a tough break for Ward, who has been marooned at the Triple-A level for several years now and seemingly has nothing left to prove in the Pacific Coast League. He’ll have to wait a bit longer for his chance.
Josue De Paula

LAD Right Fielder #90

Josue De Paula went 3-for-3 with an RBI double and two runs scored in the Dodgers’ 10-3 drubbing of the Guardians on Tuesday.

The double was a 110-mph line drive. De Paula, one of the game’s best prospects, is 5-for-9 this spring. Still just 20, he’s coming off a season in which he hit .263/.406/.421 with 12 homers and 32 steals in 98 games in High-A ball. He made a four-game cameo in Double-A at season’s end, and he’ll likely spend most of 2026 at that level.
Josue De Paula

LAD Right Fielder #90

Dodgers OF prospect Josue De Paula was named the MVP of the MLB All-Star Futures Game after hitting a three-run homer to help the National League to a 4-2 win over the American League on Saturday.

De Paula took top pitching prospect Noah Schultz of the White Sox deep for the three-run job to take home MVP honors. The 20-year-old is considered one of the best outfield prospects in baseball, and represents yet another potential star for the Dodgers. He’s currently in High-A, so it’s unlikely we see De Paula in the majors before the end of 2026 at the earliest.
JJ Wetherholt

STL Shortstop #87

Cardinals SS prospect JJ Wetherholt is at DH and leading off for the National League in the 2025 MLB All-Star Futures Game.

Wetherholt — who was promoted to Triple-A Memphis earlier this week — headlines a senior circuit lineup that includes rising fantasy sensation Konnor Griffin, who has emerged as arguably the top prospect in the entire dynasty landscape during his professional debut. It also features Dodgers burgeoning sluggers Zyhir Hope and Josue De Paula in addition to Brewers phenom Jesús Made, who has cemented his status as a top-10 dynasty prospect in the game. Here’s the full lineup: Wetherholt (DH), Griffin (SS), Owen Caissie (RF), Charlie Condon (1B), Hope (CF), Made (2B), De Paula (LF), LuJames Groover (3B), Joe Mack (C) and JR Ritchie (P).
Josue De Paula

LAD Right Fielder #90

Dodgers OF prospect Josue De Paula went 3-for-6 with two homers and four RBI on Saturday for High-A Great Lakes.

De Paula, who doesn’t turn 20 years old until later this month, turned in the second multi-homer performance of his professional career on Saturday afternoon. He’s up to six round-trippers on the season as one of the youngest players in the Midwest League and is cementing his status along with power/speed combo teammate Zyhir Hope as a top-20 dynasty prospect until further notice.
Dalton Rushing

LAD Catcher #94

Dalton Rushing was among a list of 24 Dodgers’ minor league players who received invitations to major league spring training on Friday.

The 23-year-old backstop doesn’t have much left to prove in the minor leagues, but with Will Smit and Austin Barnes holding things down at the game’s highest level, he’ll need to work his way into the crowded outfield mix in order to have any shot of breaking camp. He’ll be an intriguing option for fantasy purposes when he does finally arrive in Los Angeles, but it’ll probably take an injury to Smith or Barnes for it to happen. Roki Sasaki and Zyhir Hope also received official invitations to spring training on Friday.
Mike Sirota

LAD Center Fielder

Dodgers acquired OF Mike Sirota and a Competitive Balance draft pick from the Reds for INF/OF Gavin Lux.

The Dodgers finally get their chance with Sirota after picking him in the 16th round of the 2021 MLB Draft, but were unable to sign him. The 21-year-old outfielder, who was taken in the third round of last year’s draft by Cincinnati, will head to Los Angeles as an intriguing development project. His power-speed combo could make him an impact fantasy contributor in a few years.

Dodgers sent RHP Jonathan Hernandez outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Hernandez was designated for assignment on Tuesday and passed through waivers unclaimed. It’s unclear if he’ll elect free agency or remain with the Dodgers as excess bullpen depth at the Tripel-A level. The 29-year-old posted a miserable 8.15 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and a 15/12 K/BB ratio over 17 2/3 innings in 12 appearances with the Dodgers.

Astros optioned RHP Miguel Ullola to Triple-A Sugar Land.

Ullola made his MLB debut against the Twins on Monday, racking up four strikeouts over two scoreless innings. He then followed that up with three strikeouts over two perfect frames in the series finale on Wednesday. The only logical reason for the demotion would be to keep him stretched out as a starter at the Triple-A level until he’s needed in the same role with the Astros.

Cubs optioned LHP Jordan Wicks to Triple-A Iowa.

Wicks will return to the rotation at Triple-A Iowa where he’ll remain stretched out as a starter rather than working sporadically out of the Cubs’ bullpen. The 26-year-old hurler has posted a 10.45 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and an 8/2 K/BB ratio over 10 1/3 innings with the Cubs this season. The Cubs will make a corresponding move prior to Friday’s series opener against the Cardinals.

Phillies optioned RHP Alan Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Rangel pitched well in Thursday’s start against the Pirates, walking four batters over four scoreless frames. He’ll continue to work as a starter or as a multi-inning reliever at the Triple-A level, staying ready for the next time that he’s needed to work for the Phillies. A corresponding move will be made prior to Friday’s game.

No word yet on how long he’ll be shelved for. German Marquez was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move on Thursday.

Rangers signed INF Santiago Espinal to a minor league contract.

Espinal elected free agency from the Dodgers in mid-June after refusing an outright assignment to Triple-A Oklahoma City. The 31-year-old hit .268 (15-for-56) with one home run and seven RBI in 31 games during his time with the Dodgers. He’ll add quality infield depth for the Rangers and should get an opportunity with the big league club in relatively short order.
