Outfield Prospect Notes
- The biggest assignment news regards Julio Rodriguez, who the Mariners skipped past stateside rookie ball leagues to Low-A. This decision likely is partially due to the budding friendship between Rodriguez and Jarred Kelenic.
- Notable March rankings movement: Kristian Robinson, Arizona Diamondbacks (60 to 42); Trevor Larnach, Minnesota Twins (76 to 56); Seuly Matias, Kansas City Royals (71 to 96); Julio Pablo Martinez (82 to 102); George Valera, Cleveland Indians (128 to 108); Leody Taveras, Texas Rangers (91 to 111); Monte Harrison, Miami Marlins (99 to 119); Josh Naylor, San Diego Padres (117 to 137); Julio Rodriguez, Seattle Mariners (196 to 161, and likely to move up even further!); Jhon Torres, St. Louis Cardinals (209 to 169); Jose Siri, Cincinnati Reds (163 to 183); Dylan Carlson, St. Louis Cardinals (245 to 195)
- Notable injuries and suspensions: Jo Adell, Los Angeles Angels (out for 10-12 weeks with a Grade 2 right ankle sprain and a Grade 1 left hamstring strain); Alex Kirilloff, Minnesota Twins (wrist); Estevan Florial, New York Yankees (non-displaced right wrist fracture); Austin Hays, Baltimore Orioles (sprained left thumb); Randy Arozarena, St. Louis Cardinals (fractured hand); Jhailyn Ortiz, Philadelphia Phillies (hamstring strain); Justin Williams, St. Louis Cardinals (fractured hand); Joe McCarthy, Tampa Bay Rays (back); Griffin Conine, Toronto Blue Jays (50-game suspension); Alex McKenna, Houston Astros (hamstring strain); Michael Hermosillo, Los Angeles Angels (groin); Eric Filia, Seattle Mariners (100-game suspension)
- No assignment: Kristian Robinson, Arizona Diamondbacks; George Valera, Cleveland Indians; Antonio Cabello, New York Yankees; Jhon Torres, St. Louis Cardinals; D’Shawn Knowles, Los Angeles Angels; Alexander Canario, San Francisco Giants; Nick Schnell, Tampa Bay Rays; Everson Pereira, New York Yankees
