Baltimore has called upJordan Westburg on Monday from the organization's seemingly limitless supply of hyper-talented prospects. He will bat seventh against the Reds. Westburg had spent the first 67 games of his season at Triple-A Norfolk, where he hit 18 bombs and stole six bags while slashing .295/.372/.567. Last year, he delivered 69 extra-base hits, including 27 homers.
Canzone is only batting .242 with one home run against LHPs, so he's probably headed for some sort of platoon whenever he arrives in the majors. Still, the man is doing all he can to earn a promotion from Triple-A.Lawlar, the Diamondbacks' top prospect, got out to a hideous start this season at Double-A Amarillo, but he's been excellent in June, slashing .325/.378/.602 with four homers and seven steals. He's still just 20 years old, so you can forgive him for a slow month or two.
He's now up to 10 homers and 20 steals on the year, which is pretty much exactly what you might have reasonably hoped for in terms of power and speed.Sorry to overwhelm you with Arizona prospects, but that team has a few fun pieces on the way. Pfaadt obviously struggled in his first tour of the majors, but he's been predictably excellent at Reno since being sent down. Over his last three starts, he's tossed 18.
