This excerpt from the MLB Pipeline newsletter discusses promising players poised for call-ups in the current baseball season.
The Pirates recently promoted Connor Griffin, while the White Sox are set to debut top pitching prospect Noah Schultz. Here are seven notable players anticipated to be called up:
-
Max Clark, OF, Tigers (No. 8) – After an injury to Parker Meadows, Clark’s impressive .352 batting average in Triple-A makes him a strong candidate for promotion to bolster the Tigers’ lineup.
-
Bryce Eldridge, 1B, Giants (No. 21) – Noted as a potentially historic slugger, Eldridge is hitting .360 in Triple-A and could help improve the Giants’ lackluster offense.
-
Robbie Snelling, LHP, Marlins (No. 35) – With a solid start to the season (2.77 ERA), Snelling is seen as a future asset for Miami’s pitching staff.
-
Ryan Waldschmidt, OF, Diamondbacks (No. 54) – With a .316 batting average in Triple-A, Waldschmidt may be a solution for the team’s poor performance in left and center field.
-
Joe Mack, C, Marlins (No. 57) – Known for his defensive skills, Mack’s promotion could enhance the Marlins’ pitching staff, despite his current batting struggles.
-
Charlie Condon, 1B/OF, Rockies (No. 63) – After a strong recovery from injuries, Condon is excelling with a .325 average and four home runs in Triple-A, making him a good fit for the Rockies’ lineup.
- Hagen Smith, LHP, White Sox (No. 65) – After a strong finish to last season, Smith’s current form includes a 2.00 ERA in Triple-A, making him another candidate for promotion alongside Schultz.
