Sirota

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.

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.

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.
