Jhonny Level, SS, Giants: Giants middle infield prospects have starred across the low minors this season, and Tuesday was no exception. In a California League matinee, Level continued the surge that propelled him into the Top 100 Prospects by homering from both sides of the plate as part of a 3-for-6 day with six RBIs. Both longballs were three-run shots, and he added a single as well.

Add in Gavin Kilen, Josuar Gonzalez, Luis Hernandez and Yulian Barreto, and the Giants suddenly have an enviable stockpile of middle infield talent throughout the lower levels of the system.

Malcolm Moore, C, Rangers: Toward the end of last season, Rangers outfield prospect Dylan Dreiling picked himself up off the mat and revitalized his prospect stock. Over the last few weeks, Moore has done the same. After a slow first month at High-A Hub City, where he ended the 2025 season, the Stanford product has caught fire. In a dozen May games, Moore is hitting .469/.544/.918 with five home runs. The latest part of his renaissance came Tuesday, when he went 3-for-4 with two doubles and his seventh home run of the year. As if that weren't enough, Moore also went 3-for-3 catching attempting basestealers. He's now 21-for-59 in that department this season, which works out to a 35.6% clip.

Jackson Cox, RHP, Rockies: Slowly but surely, the Rockies' farm system is getting better. Roldy Brito has established himself as one of the organization's brightest prospects, and there are a few gems starting to shine in the lower levels of the minor leagues. Cox started his upward climb in 2025, and he's kicking it into a bit higher gear so far this season. His latest gem came Tuesday, when he struck out 10 and walked nobody over five two-run innings. The outing continued a stellar four-start stretch. Over those outings, Cox has gone 23.2 innings, allowed seven runs (all earned) on 13 hits and seven walks and struck out 32 hitters. He got 21 whiffs during Tuesday night's outing.

Felnin Celesten, SS, Mariners: Quietly, Celesten is running the longest hitting streak in the minor leagues. The shortstop's single in the first inning brought his stretch to 23 games, passing Cole Carrigg's since-snapped 22-game streak for this year's top mark. Entering the evening, all three of his triple-slash categories (.341/.442/.504) ranked among the top five in the Northwest League. He was also tied for the league lead in hits (44).

Emmanuel Rodriguez, OF, Twins: Once again, Rodriguez has had his career derailed by an injury. This time, it's a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb. He had been out since May 1, but now it has been reported that he'll need surgery to repair the torn ligament. Rodriguez has never played more than 100 games in a season, and he's eclipsed the 60-game mark just once in the last three years.

Demetrio Crisantes, 2B, D-backs: There's little doubt that Crisantes can hit. The only thing that's stopped his rise is an inability to stay on the field. A pair of shoulder injuries cost him a chunk of his career, and an injury in spring training this year kept him sidelined until Tuesday. The second baseman returned in a rehab capacity in the Arizona Complex League and doubled in his first at-bat. He got two more plate appearances (one strikeout, one walk) before being removed, but it was a solid first step toward a move back to full-season ball.

Baseball America Helium Pick Of The Day

Each day, we’ll pick a prospect that has our attention.

Jonah Cox, OF, Giants: After idling in Eugene for a season and change, Cox has come out with a vengeance and put himself back on the prospect map. Things like that tend to happen when you hit well better than .400 over the first six weeks of the season. His return to prominence continued on Tuesday, when he went 2-for-5 with a home run and a pair of stolen bases in Richmond's loss to Binghamton. After hitting 10 home runs in all of 2025, Cox now has seven before Memorial Day.
