Mike Sirota’s on-base streak ends at 72 games

Mike Sirota

LAD Center Fielder

Player Stats

Dodgers OF prospect Mike Sirota saw his 72-game on-base streak snapped on Friday at Double-A Tulsa.

Sirota fell two games shy of matching the 74-game single-season record set by Andrew Velazquez for Low-A South Bend in 2014. The 23-year-old on-base machine has firmly established himself as one of the top fantasy prospects in the minor-league landscape, hitting .314/.468/.554 with 14 homers and 11 stelas in 363 plate appearances between High-A Great Lakes and Double-A Tulsa this season. However, his path to at-bats in Los Angeles is blocked by a plethora of veterans at the highest level. He could force his way into their long-term plans at some point next year, but it would likely take an injury or unexpected development for Sirota to reach the big leagues in the second half.

Alek Thomas

LAD Center Fielder

The Dodgers are calling up center fielder Alek Thomas, according to The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya.

Thomas isn’t the most exciting option from a pure fantasy perspective, but he makes the most sense as a short-term stopgap for the Dodgers with Andy Pages set to miss 4-5 weeks with a fractured hand. The 26-year-old defensive specialist is an excellent defender in center field and is already on the 40-man roster. He’ll split time with Tommy Edman and Enrique Hernández for the next couple weeks. There’s a chance that a top prospect like Josue De Paula, Mike Sirota or James Tibbs III get a look once rosters expand, but that seems unlikely at this juncture.
Andy Pages

LAD Center Fielder #44

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Andy Pages is expected to miss 4-5 weeks with a fractured left hand.

Pages underwent X-rays that revealed the fracture after being hit by a pitch during the early stages of Friday’s game against the Pirates. Roberts didn’t say how the Dodgers intend to replace Pages, but former Diamondbacks center fielder Alek Thomas, who is already on the 40-man roster, seems like the obvious choice. He could come up and play against most righties, with Tommy Edman moving to center against lefties. That would free up some infield time for Enrique Hernández and Miguel Rojas. There’s an extremely small, but non-zerp possibility that the Dodgers bring up one of their top outfield prospects like Josue De Paula, Mike Sirota, or James Tibbs III.
Mike Sirota

LAD Center Fielder

Dodgers OF prospect Mike Sirota went 1-for-6 with a solo home run for Double-A Tulsa on Sunday.

That homer extended Sirota’s on-base streak to 68 games. The 23-year-old is hitting .324/.484/.547 with seven home runs, 25 RBI, and three steals in 38 games at Double-A after being promoted following 35 games at High-A. He has emerged as a top-15 prospect in all of baseball and looks like a major steal for the Dodgers, who drafted him in 2021 only to see him choose to go to college. The Reds wound up drafting Sirota, but the Dodgers traded Gavin Lux for him in January 2025. Looks like a pretty good move at this point.
Josue De Paula

LAD Right Fielder #90

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.
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.

Justin Verlander (hamstring) threw a one-inning simulated game on Friday.

Verlander is attempting to make it back for the final start of his Hall of Fame career at Comerica Park against the Pirates next weekend. The 43-year-old icon is scheduled to throw another bullpen session early next week to determine whether he’s ready to take the ball one final time before hanging up his spikes. He’s been out with hip and hamstring issues since early April.

Tristan Peters was removed from Friday’s game against the Tigers with a left shoulder contusion.

Peters is officially day-to-day, according to the White Sox. It doesn’t sound like he underwent any precautionary imaging after running full speed into the outfield wall during the fifth inning of Friday’s eventual loss to Detroit. The 26-year-old breakout sensation is presumably going to get a couple days off to rest and recover after the collision.

Robert Suarez (forearm) will make a minor league rehab appearance for Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

Suarez hasn’t pitched for Atlanta since mid-June due to a forearm strain. The 35-year-old’s return would provide a much-needed bridge to closer Raisel Iglesias for the playoff-bound Braves. He’ll likely require a handful of rehab outings before the club decides on his next steps, but he figures to be ready for the postseason.

Rangers SS prospect Sebastian Walcott went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases for Double-A Frisco on Friday.

Walcott made a massive impact during the RoughRiders’ postseason run, which came to an end on Friday night, going 4-for-11 with one homer and four steals in their three-game playoff series. The -year-old prodigy missed most of the year after undergoing elbow surgery back in the spring, but looked like one of the top fantasy prospects in the game after returning, hitting .329/.404/.608 with 10 homers and 12 steals in 39 games.

John Means (Achilles) allowed two runs over 4 1/3 innings in a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

Means is working his way back from offseason surgery after rupturing his Achilles last December. The 33-year-old veteran southpaw spent all of last season rehabbing from Tommy John surgery with the Guardians. The encouraging news here is that he figures to be ready for the start of spring training and could be in the mix for a spot in Kansas City’s rotation.

Nationals RHP prospect Jarlin Susana allowed four runs over 2 2/3 innings in his debut for Triple-A Rochester on Friday.

Susana is one of the hardest-throwing starting pitching prospects in the game and he displayed his premium velocity in his first Triple-A outing, topping out at 102.6 mph in the 66-pitch effort. The electrifying 22-year-old is one of the better fantasy prospects in the game solely because his strikeout upside is off the metaphorical charts if everything comes together. Susana remains a work in progress after missing significant time due to injury in each of the last two seasons. He’s the caliber of pitching prospect that fantasy managers need to follow closely as he continues his trajectory towards Washington’s rotation.

Giants OF prospect Bo Davidson went 3-for-4 with an RBI for Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

It would be fascinating to see Davidson get a cup of coffee with San Francisco in the final week of the regular season after starting the year in Double-A as a relative unknown outside of the prospect and dynasty community. The 24-year-old is the extremely rare undrafted player that turns into a legitimate prospect and has torn the cover off the ball this season, slashing .284/.353/.523 with 29 homers and 19 steals in 536 plate appearances in the upper minors. He offers an interesting set of fantasy-relevant tools and is a name that fantasy managers should be watching closely next spring.

Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) went 0-for-3 in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Kuroda-Grauer is unlikely to return to the majors before the regular season concludes, but he’s expected to have a normal offseason and be a full-go at the outset of spring training. That’s the most positive outcome after undergoing surgery to repair a ruptured testicle back in late July. He should factor into the Athletics’ infield mix next spring.

Anthony Santander (shoulder) went 1-for-4 in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

Santander took a couple games off earlier this week due to lower back discomfort. He’s technically in the mix for a postseason roster spot, if Toronto makes it that far, but he’s barely played over the last two years due to shoulder issues. He’s more of a complete Wild Card as opposed to a sure thing at this stage of his career.
