    Brewers SS prospect Jesús Made went 5-for-5 with two home runs and seven RBI on Friday for Double-A Biloxi.

    Made capped the epic five-hit performance with an eighth-inning grand slam to join Athletics top prospect Leo De Vries as the only teenage to record five hits and two homers in a game since 2005, per MLB Pipeline. The 19-year-old prodigy has been on an absolute rocket ship towards Milwaukee since a sublime Dominican Summer League campaign back in 2024. He’s universally regarded as the top prospect in baseball and is thriving as one of the youngest hitters in Double-A, slashing .287/.359/.464 with 12 round-trippers and 29 stolen bases through 89 games. It’s impossible to dismiss the slim possibility given how meteoric his rise has been to this point that the Brewers decide to give him a taste of the majors and postseason action before the end of the year. It happened with Junior Caminero a couple years ago.

    Made lifted an opposite-field single into shallow right field off Mariners southpaw Kade Anderson with two outs in the opening frame. He stepped to the plate with runners on the corners in the third inning but wound up grounding out harmlessly, although he did push the tying run across the plate with the 106.9-mph worm burner. The 19-year-old switch-hitting shortstop has continued his meteoric rise towards Milwaukee this season, slashing .276/.347/.442 with nine homers and 26 steals in 346 plate appearances over 76 games as one of the youngest players in Double-A.

    Universally regarded as baseball’s top prospect, Made notched his his second four-hit game of the season just a few hours after being named to the 2026 MLB All-Star Futures Game for the National League. He’s posted seven multi-hit performances in his last 13 games. It’s relatively easy to envision the 19-year-old phenom blossoming into a five-category fantasy force, as he’s slashing .289/.359/.448 with seven homers and 24 steals through 69 games this season despite being the youngest hitter at the Double-A level. Most of his over-the-fence power remains projection at this stage, but he’s already producing elite exit velocities for his age, bolstering confidence that more in-game power will emerge as he continues to mature physically.

    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.

    Made matched a season-high with four RBI in the opener of Friday’s twin bill, reaching base in three of his five plate appearances. He delivered a bases-loaded double to clear the bases as part of an eight-run second inning before adding another RBI single a couple frames later. He tacked on an additional run-scoring single in the nightcap before the game was suspended due to inclement weather. It felt fitting that only the elements could slow down baseball’s top prospect on one of the best nights of his career. Perhaps most encouraging, he showed no signs of rust in his return to Biloxi’s lineup after suffering a left quad contusion on a collision with teammate Josh Adamczeski earlier this week. The 19-year-old phenom remains on a rapid trajectory toward Milwaukee and could potentially arrive in the majors early next season.

    Made, the consensus top prospect in baseball, appears to have avoided serious injury following a collision with teammate Josh Adamczewski. The 19-year-old prodigy is hitting .276/.349/.427 with six homers and 21 steals through 59 games as one of the youngest position players in the entire Southern League.

    Pump the brakes. There was rampant social media speculation that Made, the consensus top-overall prospect in baseball, was heading to Triple-A Nashville, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. The 19-year-old prodigy has put together a remarkable campaign, slashing .277/.353/.452 with six homers and 18 steals in 201 plate appearances over 42 games for Double-A Biloxi as the youngest hitter in the entire Southern League. He’s checked every conceivable box since making his stateside debut last year and his rapid trajectory towards Milwaukee puts him on pace to potentially reach the majors by the end of the year.
  • MIL Shortstop #91
    The top dynasty prospect left in the entire minors with Konnor Griffin reaching the big leagues earlier this month, Made is hitting .333 (15-for-45) with five extra-base hits and six steals through 11 games as the youngest hitter in the entire Southern League by nearly two years. The 18-year-old prodigy also has more walks (10) than strikeouts (nine) this season. He possesses the complete five-category fantasy monster starter kit and doesn’t seem to have any weaknesses at this stage of his development. It sounds hyperbolic, but he simply continues to exceed even the most wildly optimistic expectations as he rockets towards Milwaukee.
  • MIL Shortstop #91
    At just 18 years old, Made is the youngest position player at the Double-A level by a country mile. He’s doing much more than just holding his own against older competition, batting .375 (12-for-32) with one homer and three steals in seven games. His all-around offensive ability and athleticism make it easy to forecast an elite power-speed combination fantasy contributor if he comes remotely close to reaching his ceiling. There simply aren’t any weaknesses in his profile, and he continues rocketing towards Milwaukee at a rapid pace.
  • MIL Shortstop #91
    Made is one of the most compelling prospects in the fantasy landscape after last year’s remarkable stateside debut where he batted .285/.379/.413 with six homers and 47 thefts in 115 games across three levels to finish the year as one of the youngest hitters in Double-A. The 18-year-old prodigy’s two hits carried exit velocities of 98 and 100.8 mph, respectively, showcasing his ability to generate consistent hard contact despite his 5-foot-8 frame. He has a chance to be a franchise-altering talent for Milwaukee and projects as an extremely impactful all-around fantasy contributor down the road.
  • MIL Shortstop #91
    The Shuckers are going to the playoffs, so he’ll get to participate in those, too. The 18-year-old Made, considering one of the game’s very best prospects, hit .343/.415/.500 in 27 games with High-A Wisconsin after coming in at .267/.373/.388 in 82 games in Low-A.

    Wade Meckler went 2-for-5 and singled in the winning run in the 10th as the Angels edged the Twins 5-4 on Thursday.

    Meckler plated Zach Neto after Mike Trout previously singled to tie the game. The 26-year-old Meckler has a nice .294/.370/.381 line through 299 plate appearances, and unless the Angels go on a major spending spree this winter, one imagines he’ll get a chance to remain the team’s left fielder against right-handers to start 2027.

    Walbert Ureña shut out the Twins for seven innings, striking out nine, in a no-decision Thursday against the Twins.

    Ureña managing to retain mixed-league value pretty much all year long in a situation as bad for pitchers as the one in Anaheim is one of the top accomplishments from any rookie this year. Not even just rookies, really. Ureña departed with a 3-0 lead tonight, but it failed to hold up, keeping him 9-10 with a 2.74 ERA. He’ll probably make just one more start Wednesday against the A’s.

    Ben Joyce took a blown save after giving up a two-run homer in the ninth Thursday against the Twins.

    Joyce did strike out three of the five batters he faced tonight, but in between were a single and a homer. It’s his third blown save in eight tries, though one of those was because of two unearned runs in extras. He still figures to finish out the year as the Angels’ closer. He might, however, be less likely to keep that role in 2027 with the pending sale of the Angels.

    Taj Bradley yielded three runs in seven innings Thursday against the Angels.

    Bradley was outpitched by Walbert Ureña, but he matched Ureña’s nine strikeouts and walked just one. He’s now just one away from 200 strikeouts for the year. With the Twins essentially done at this point, he’ll probably pitch only once more next week against the Giants.

    Pitching for a third straight day after blowing his first save Wednesday, Yoendrys Gómez gave up two runs — one earned — in the 10th to take another blown save and a loss Thursday against the Angels.

    If the Twins had it to do over again, one imagines they would have stuck with Jeff Hoffman in the 10th after he got one out in the ninth. Instead, they went back to Gómez, who threw 10 pitches Tuesday and 24 on Wednesday. He walked one and gave up a game-tying hit while getting one out before being replaced. Kody Funderburk then surrendered a game-winning single to Wade Meckler. Gómez was 22-for-22 saving games this season prior to Wednesday’s affair. However, he’s now sporting a 7.54 ERA since the beginning of August.

    Walker Jenkins went 3-for-4 and hit a game-tying two-run homer off Ben Joyce in the ninth inning Thursday against the Angels.

    Of course, velocity data doesn’t go back all that far. Still, we’re guessing Jenkins set some sort of record for greatest velocity difference on pitches hit for a player’s first two major league homers. Jenkins’ first came off a 37.4-mph “other” from Tigers infielder Zach McKinstry in an Aug. 31 blowout. Tonight’s, however, saw him turn around a 100.9-mph fastball from one of the game’s hardest throwers. The three-hit game made Jenkins 7-for-49 as a big leaguer.

    Royce Lewis went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts against the Angels on Thursday.

    It just keeps getting more difficult imagining Lewis in a Twins uniform next year, even though it probably wouldn’t cost more than $4 million to keep him in arbitration. Going 3-for-32 in his last nine games has dropped him down to .226/.290/.381 for the season. That’s a .671 OPS, which is also what he finished at last season. Brooks Lee has overtaken him at third base, and he just hasn’t recently shown the kind of bat to justify a starting job at first.

    Aroldis Chapman was unavailable Thursday because of lat tightness.

    Chapman hadn’t pitched in four days and wasn’t previously reported as injured, so it was pretty stunning to see him not out there against the Rangers. Still, Garrett Whitlock successfully closed in his place. Chapman is listed as day-to-day for now.

    Mets’ manager Andy Green told reporters on Thursday night that they’re hopeful that Jared Young (head) avoided the worst outcomes following a scary collision with Nolan McLean.

    While Green noted that Young is still exhibiting concussion symptoms, his CT scan came back negative and he has feelings in all of his extremities. Green also added that Young is “showing really good signs right now”. He’ll remain in the hospital overnight for observation. Expect the Mets to provide another update on his status prior to Friday’s game.

    X-rays on the injured hand of Willson Contreras came back negative for any fractures on Thursday.

    The 34-year-old slugger was removed from Thursday’s game against the Rangers after he was hit by a pitch in the eighth inning. Fortunately, he appears to have avoided any structural damage. He’s still a bit sore though, so it may depend on how he’s feeling on Friday before the Red Sox determine his availability for the weekend.
