Aaron Parker
Parker had another strong week and really showed off his power. He went 6-19 with 3 homeruns, a double, walk, and 5 strikeouts. Two multiple hit games in four played is a really good sign for him.
Adrian Santana
Santana was having an incredible week before an injury placed him on the injured list. He went 9-20 with a homerun, 3 walks, and only 2 strikeouts. Hopefully he returns soon and picks up where he left off here.
Aidan Miller
Miller is still out for a significant amount of time. Hopefully this procedure fixes his back injury.
Aidan Smith
Smith had another really tough week and struck out way too much. He went 2-25 with a double, walk, and 12 strikeouts. Brutal week, but he can bounce back from this.
Alex Clemmey
Clemmey had another solid performance, but his command was still not great. He pitched 5 innings and allowed only 1 run on 3 hits and 4 walks. 4 strikeouts helped him limit the damage, but he still allowed a lot of baserunners.
Alexander Albertus
Albertus had a tough first two games, but ended the week with three straight good performances. Overall, he went 5-20 with a double, 3 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Hopefully he can continue his recent performances now that he is fully healthy.
Arjun Nimmala
Nimmala is still on the injured list. His rehab assignment continued this week and he went 4-13 with 3 walks and 3 strikeouts. As long as he stays healthy, he should be back in double A soon.
Ben Hess
Hess did not pitch well in his last start unfortunately. He pitched 4 innings and allowed 3 runs on 5 hits, 3 walks, and a hit batter. Only 2 strikeouts were not enough to escape danger and he allowed two homeruns. Rough day but he should bounce back.
Bernard Moon
Moon had another solid week and had multiple god games. Overall, he went 7-22 with a homerun, 2 doubles, 6 walks, and 4 strikeouts. Hopefully he can keep this up.
Billy Amick
Amick had a really strong week and looked much better at the plate. He went 6-22 with 2 homeruns, 3 doubles, 4 walks, and 5 strikeouts. He needed this after hitting .156 in June in 77 at bats.
Blake Burke
Burke only played in one game this week, but had an incredible performance. He went 4-5 with a homerun, 2 doubles, 7 RBIs, and a strikeout. What a day at the plate it was for him.
Blake Wright
Wright is still on the injured list. No updates on his progress, but hopefully he can make his season debut soon.
Boston Bateman
Bateman had a solid showing, but some command issues caused an early exit. In 4 innings, he allowed 2 runs (1 earned) on 3 hits, 2 walks, and a hit batter. 6 strikeouts is solid in 4 innings, but he did exit earlier than he desired.
Braylon Payne
Payne only played in three games this week, and struggled offensively. He went 2-12 with a homerun, double, walk, and 4 strikeouts. Tough week, but small sample size.
Brody Hopkins
Hopkins had his best start of the season, but command issues were still on display. He pitched 5 shutout innings and allowed just 1 hit, 3 walks, and a hit batter. 10 strikeouts helped him strand all baserunners. Easily his best performance but still more walks than he would like.
Brooks Brannon
Brannon had an incredible start to July. He went 7-19 with 2 homeruns, 2 doubles, 2 walks, and 4 strikeouts. He is 7/15 in his four July games. If he can keep this up, a promotion will come.
Bryce Cunningham
Cunningham had a brutal start in his last appearance. Command was a real problem, and his defense also did him no favors. In 5.2 innings, he allowed 5 runs (2 earned) on 4 hits and 4 walks. Only 1 strikeout did not help him avoid trouble, and his defense led to 3 unearned runs scoring.
Bryce Rainer
Rainer is playing well and currently riding an eight-game hitting streak. He went 6-21 with 2 doubles, 4 walks, and 12 strikeouts. A lot of swing and miss, but he is still producing.
Cam Caminiti
Caminiti had a really good performance in his start this week. He pitched 6 shutout innings allowing 3 hits, 2 walks, and a hit batter. He would like to have better command, but it did not hurt him this start.
Carson DeMartini
DeMartini is still on the injured list. No updates on his progress as of now.
Carter Johnson
Johnson has been on fire to start June and is riding a six-game hitting streak. This week, he went 8-19 with 3 homeruns, 2 doubles, 3 walks, and 4 strikeouts. Just a really impressive stretch for him. Hopefully he can keep this up.
Carter Mathison
Mathison only played in three games this week and struggled in two of them. Overall, he went 2-7 with a homerun, double, 3 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Small sample size, but his playing time has been cut due to his struggles at the plate.
Casey Cook
Cook is still on the injured list. Cook did make his first rehab appearance going 0-3 with a strikeout. Just getting back on the field is a great sign though.
Charlee Soto
Soto is still on the injured list. No recent updates on his progress after he had a setback during his rehab games.
Chase Harlan
Harlan had another strong week and has wasted no time getting comfortable in high A. He went 6-19 with a double, 5 walks, and 4 strikeouts. Really strong showing for him and he should only get better as he continues to adjust.
Chris Cortez
Cortez made three appearances out of the bullpen this week. In the first, he pitched a scoreless inning. 1 hit and 1 walk allowed, but they did not score. In the second, it was a clean inning with a strikeout. In the third, he struggles, allowing 2 runs on 2 hits and a walk. Mostly positives for him this week, but still things to work on.
Cobb Hightower
Hightower returned from the injured list and looked good. He went 4-12 with a double and no strikeouts. Solid showing after missing a large stretch of games.
Cole Fontenelle
Fontenelle struggled again, but did record a hit in all three games played. He still went 3-12 with a double, walk, and 2 strikeouts. Not his worst week, but still not great.
Cole Mathis
Mathis is still on the injured list. No recent updates on his progress.
Cole Messina
Messina struggled again this week and strikeouts have been a real problem. He went 3-18 with 2 walks and 10 strikeouts. Just way too much swing and miss to produce much.
Colin Houck
Houck had a really solid week, and got on base a lot. He went 5-17 with a homerun, double, 5 walks, and 5 strikeouts. Hopefully he can build off of this.
Dillon Head
Head continues to turn heads after a brutal start to the season. This week, he went 8-19 with a homerun, 2 doubles, 3 walks, and 3 strikeouts. He has raised his average up to .246 after it was .158 a month ago. Really strong showing from him.
Dylan Dreiling
Dreiling had a rough week offensively and just did not find much success. He went 4-23 with a triple, 2 doubles, 3 walks, and 5 strikeouts. Forgettable week, but he can bounce back from this.
Echedry Vargas
Vargas had another solid week offensively. He went 7-24 with 2 homeruns, a double, walk, and 4 strikeouts. Really strong showing for him.
Eddie Rynders
Rynders is currently on the 7-day injured list. No updates on his progress yet.
Edurado Quintero
Quintero had another really strong week and he is starting to look like himself after some early season struggles. He went 6-18 with 2 homeruns, a triple, 4 walks, and 4 strikeouts. Really impressive week for him at the plate.
Eduardo Tait
Tait had a tough week full of strikeouts unfortunately. He went 5-25 with 2 doubles, a walk, and 10 strikeouts. Just way too much swing and miss to produce consistently.
Ethan Anderson
Anderson had another strong week and his impressive season continued. This week, he went 6-19 with 2 homeruns, 4 walks, and 6 strikeouts. Solid showing, but he did strikeout a bit more than he usually does.
Engelth Urena
Urena had a tough last game of June (0-4), but started July off on fire. He went 5-13 with a homerun, double, and 2 strikeouts. Hopefully he can build off of this.
Fenwick Trimble
Trimble had a tough week at the plate unfortunately. He went 5-21 with 2 doubles, a homerun, 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts. He should figure it out soon.
Franklin Arias
Arias is playing at another level right now. Riding a seven-game hitting streak, he went 6-16 with 2 homeruns, a double, 6 walks, and 2 strikeouts. Really strong performance for the young shortstop.
George Wolkow
Wolkow had a solid week, but struggled with strikeouts. He went 7-24 with 2 doubles, 2 walks, and 10 strikeouts. A lot of swing and miss, but he still put up decent numbers.
Hyun-Seok Jang
Jang got hit hard in his last start and also struggled with his command. He pitched 5.1 innings and allowed 4 run (3 earned) on 4 hits and 5 walks. He did still strikeout six, but this did not help him limit damage.
Ivan Luciano
It has been a rough week for Luciano at the plate. He went 4-20 with a double, 2 walks, and 9 strikeouts. Just way too much swing and miss to contribute consistently.
Jackson Ferris
Ferris had his best start of the season this week. He pitched 6 innings and allowed 1 run on 2 hits and 2 walks. He struck out a season high eight batters and looked dominant. Hopefully he can build off of this start as it has been a rough season for him so far.
Jacob Cozart
Cozart had a rough week, but he has still been solid this season so far. He went 3-18 with 6 strikeouts. Brutal week, but he should bounce back.
Jaison Chourio
Chourio bounced back after struggling last week. He went 6-18 with a homerun, 2 doubles, 4 walks, and 7 strikeouts. Still some concerns with the swing and miss issue that has been hurting him for a few weeks now.
Jared Serna
Serna had a tough week offensively, and it was ugly. He went 1-14 with 2 strikeouts. He put the ball in play a lot, but was not rewarded for it.
Jared Sundstrom
Sundstrom had another really tough week in what has been a brutal season. He went 3-15 with a homerun, 3 walks, and 2 strikeouts. He did cut down on his strikeouts, but it did not really pay off.
Jared Thomas
Thomas is still on the injured list, but did begin his rehab assignment. In his only game played, he went 1-3 with a double and 2 strikeouts. Just getting back on the field is a great sign and he should make it back to full season ball soon.
Jay Beshears
Beshears only played in three games this week, and struggled in them. He went 1-8 with 2 walks and 2 strikeouts. Small sample size, but still ugly.
JD Dix
Dix had another tough week and strikeouts were the reason. He went 6-22 with 2 doubles, 5 walks, and 8 strikeouts. Not his worst week, but still not great.
Jeral Perez
Perez was sent back down to high A and has looked better. He went 4-24 this week which is not great, but still flashed. He hit a triple, walked five times, and struck out six times. Not a great week, but far from his worst.
Jeremy Rodriguez
Rodriguez had another tough week as he tries to break out of his slump. He went 3-13 with a double, walk, and only 2 strikeouts. He did a good job putting the ball in play, but it just did not result in a lot of hits.
Jesus Made
Made had a few good games and a few rough ones this week. He went 6-20 with a homerun, double, 2 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Nort his best week overall, but he did show flashes.
Joe Vetrano
Vetrano is currently on the 7-day injured list. No updates on his progress just yet.
Joendry Vargas
Vargas is on fire as of late and is currently riding an eight-game hitting streak. For the week, he went 6-19 with a walk, and 1 strikeout. Limiting his swinging and missing helped him put up solid numbers and reach base a lot even without walking.
John Spikerman
Spikerman is still on the injured list. No updates on his progress.
Jonathon Long
Long is really locked in now and had another impressive week. He went 7-24 with 2 homeruns, 3 doubles, 2 walks, and 8 strikeouts. A little more swing and miss than desired, but still a strong showing.
Jonny Farmelo
Farmelo has been playing incredible baseball for like a month now. This week, he went 11-24 with 2 homeruns, 4 doubles, 2 walk, and 4 strikeouts. Three of those strikeouts came in one game, so he did a good job of limiting them for the most part.
Josue De Paula
De Paula had an incredible week at the plate. He went 12-30 with 2 homeruns, 4 doubles, 5 walks, and 5 strikeouts. He also stole five bases and was a real threat on the bases and at the plate.
Juan Baez
Baez only played in three games, but was impressive in them. He went 4-14 with a triple, double, and only 2 strikeouts.
Juan Flores
Flores did struggle a bit this week, but flashed his potential while still adjusting to the new level. He went 5-18 with a homerun, double, and only 2 strikeouts. He is not really striking out much, which is a good sign.
Kash Mayfield
Mayfield got hit a little hard in his last start, but his command was good at least. He pitched 4 innings and allowed 2 runs on 6 hits and no walks. He also struck out five batters to help limit the damage. Not his best showing, but he still battled.
Kavares Tears
Tears has a solid week, but strikeouts were a problem. He went 5-20 with 3 homeruns, 4 walks, and 10 strikeouts. The power is impressive, but he struck out in half of his at bats. That is a real concern.
Kelvin Hidalgo
Hidalgo had a tough week offensively. He went 3-21 with a homerun, 4 walks, and 5 strikeouts. Just nothing really worked out for him this week.
Khadim Diaw
Diaw had another tough week, but did find a way to record two multi-hit games. He went 4-19 with a triple, walk, and 7 strikeouts. Just a lot of swing and miss recently that has really been limiting him.
Kyle DeBarge
DeBarge had another strong showing offensively this week, and he seems to be figuring it out. He went 6-20 with a homerun, double, walk, and 6 strikeouts. The strikeouts have been an issue all year and he must improve on this.
Kyle Henley
Henley had a tough week and struck out a lot. He went 5-21 with 2 doubles, 2 walks, and 10 strikeouts. Tough to contribute with all those strikeouts.
Leo De Vries
De Vries did not have his best week, but still played well. He went 7-28 with a homerun, 3 doubles, 2 walks, and 14 strikeouts. The strikeouts are a real concern, but hopefully this was just a bad week. 14 in 23 at bats after 16 in 81 last month is not expected.
Lisbel Diaz
Diaz had a solid week, but definitely could have been better. He went 6-21 with 3 homeruns, 4 walks, and 5 strikeouts. Strong showing overall, but there are still things to work on.
Luis Almeyda

Nate Nankil
Nankil had his best week of the season, and hopefully this is a sign of what is to comer. He went 8-22 with a homerun, double, walk, and 4 strikeouts. Still room to grow, but this is a good sign.
Nathan Flewelling
Flewelling had another solid week offensively. He went 5-19 with 2 homeruns, 7 walks, and 8 strikeouts. A lot of swing and miss unfortunately, but he also did draw a ton of walks to make up for the strikeouts.
Nick McLain
After a terrible week, McLain was much better this week. He went 5-16 with a homerun, 6 walks, and only 4 strikeouts. Solid numbers, and him being healthy still is another good sign.
Nick Mitchell
Mitchell had a really good week and turn heads at the plate. He went 8-20 with a walk and only 1 strikeout. Real strong showing for him offensively.
PJ Morlando
Morlando is currently on the 7-day injured list. No updates on his progress.
Ramon Ramirez
Ramirez had another incredible week offensively. He went 7-18 with 4 doubles, 4 walks, and only 2 strikeouts. Great performance from him swinging the bat. He has been very good all year, and this was just another strong week to add onto his impressive season.
Robert Calaz
Calaz had some good games and some rough ones this week. Overall, he went 5-22 with 10 strikeouts. The swing and miss problem really hurt his performance this week.
Romeo Sanabria

Campos had another solid week, but did struggle with strikeouts. He went 5-19 with a homerun, double, walk, and 9 strikeouts. Just a lot of swing and miss that really limited him this week.
Ryan Sloan
Sloan had another strong showing on the mound this week. He pitched 5.21 innings allowing 2 runs on 5 hits while striking out five. While he did not post huge strikeout numbers, it was enough to limit the damage. His command was sharp as he did not walk anybody. Hopefully he keeps building off of this.
Seaver King
King only played in two games this week before getting hurt. He went 1-5 with 2 strikeouts before being placed on the injured list. Hopefully he can return to the field soon.
Sebastian Walcott
Walcott is still on the 60-day with what is expected to be a season long injury
Sheng-En Lin
Lin had one of his best performances of the season and really dominated. Over 5 shutout innings, he allowed 5 hits and a hit batter while striking out eight. Really impressive start where he was able to keep baserunners from scoring.
Slade Caldwell
Caldwell had a better week but still struggled with strikeouts. He went 5-18 with a homerun, 4 walks, and 7 strikeouts. Just way too much swing and miss to consistently contribute.
Tai Peete

Yeremy Cabrera
Cabrera continued to struggle this week after a tough stretch last week. He went 5-27 with a homerun, triple, double, walk, and 6 strikeouts. Just a brutal stretch for him as of late.
Yoeilin Cespedes
Cespedes has struggled offensively as of late. This week, he went 3-22 with 3 homeruns and 6 strikeouts. Not his best week, but he did hit for power at least.
Yoffry Solano
Solano had a tough week offensively, and struck out a lot. He went 3-20 with 6 strikeouts. Just not much success for him this week.
Yohandy Morales
Morales had an up and down week but seems to be breaking out of his recent slump. He went 7-24 with a homerun, double, walk, and 4 strikeouts. Not his best week, but he has been struggling lately, so this is a step in the right direction.
Zander Mueth
Mueth is still on the injured list. No updates on his progress as of late.
Zyhir Hope
Hope had an incredible week and really broke out of his slump. He went 14-27 with 3 homeruns, 3 doubles, 4 walks, and only 3 strikeouts. A truly impressive performance from Hope.

Braden Montgomery
It was a tough week for Montgomery. He went 4-22 with 2 doubles, 4 walks, and 4 strikeouts. He will bounce back from this.
Brice Matthews
Matthews only played in two games this week, but did find some success. He went 206 with a homerun, walk, and strikeout. Very small sample size, but not bad.
Bryce Eldridge
Tough week for Eldridge, as the strikeouts really piled up. He went 5-24 with a homerun, double, 2 walks, and 11 strikeouts. Hard to contribute with that much swing and miss.
Caleb Durbin
Durbin struggled again this week in limited action. He went 2-17 with a homerun, 3 wealks, and 3 strikeouts. Not his best week, but he should bounce back.
Cam Smith
Smith cut down his strikeouts and had a much better week. He went 6-22 with a double, walk, and 2 strikeouts. Still not great, but better than previous weeks.
Carson Benge
Benge had another solid week and continues to improve. He went 7-26 with 2 homeruns, 2 doubles, a walk, and 4 strikeouts. Still plenty of room for growth, but not bad for a rookie.
Carson Williams
Williams had a tough week full of strikeouts. He went 5-19 with 2 homeruns and 9 strikeouts. Just too much swing and miss for him to consistently contribute.
Christian Moore
Moore had a rough first game, but then recorded a hit in four straight to end the week. He went 7-22 overall, with a homerun, 3 doubles, a walk, and 5 strikeouts. Solid performance and hopefully he can carry this momentum into next week.

Jonah Tong
Tong struggled again in his last start. He pitched 5 innings and allowed 3 runs on 4 hits, 2 walks, and a hit batter. Strikeout numbers have been down which is a concern. Tong also allowed 2 homeruns, which is another red flag.
Jose Fernandez
Fernandez had a solid week, but strikeouts were a problem. He went 6-22 with a homerun, 3 doubles, 3 walks, and 8 strikeouts. Just a lot of swing and miss which was a concern in his game. Despite not striking out a ton early in the season, the problem has returned.
Joshua Kruroda-Grauer
Grauer has been really impressive in his first taste of big-league baseball. He went 6-18 with a double, hit by pitch, and 2 strikeouts. A really impressive player who will continue to improve.

Rikuu Nishida
It was another brutal week for Nishida. He went 2-18 with 8 walks and 6 strikeouts. Just a strange week for Nishida, but he should bounce back.

Roman is still not swinging and is experiencing pain in his hand. No real timetable.
Sam Antonacci
It was a tough week for Antonacci and he really struggled. He went 5-24 with a homerun, 2 doubles, and 4 strikeouts. Tough week, but he should bounce back.
