Carson Benge, OF, Mets: Benge has been one of the best players in the sport in recent weeks. In July, he's been particularly molten. That trend continued on Tuesday, when he went 2-for-4 with a walk and a home run in his team's series-opener against Harrisburg. The homer was his sixth since reaching Double-A. Overall in July, Benge is hitting .375/.467/.656 with five longballs and just 10 strikeouts in 75 plate appearances.

Zyhir Hope, OF, Dodgers: Even with both Mike Sirota and Josue De Paula on the injured list, the Great Lakes Loons still have plenty of talented outfielders to go around. On Tuesday, Hope played a starring role in his team's shutout of Fort Wayne. The former Cubs prospect went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and two RBIs. He finished a triple shy of the cycle. The home run was his 12th of the year.

Joe Mack, C, Marlins: Mack is one of the game's best catching prospects. He showed why on Tuesday night with an outstanding day at the dish. Facing Columbus, he went 3-for-5 with a double and a home run and drove home two runs. Mack's home run was the ninth of his Triple-A tenure and 12th of the season overall.

Trevor Harrison, RHP, Rays: Harrison has quietly posted an outstanding season in the Low-A Carolina League. One of the breakout prospects in the Florida Complex League last summer, his 2.61 ERA is fourth in the Carolina League, three spots behind teammate Jose Urbina. His opponent average (.211) and WHIP (1.20) are both among the league's top five as well. He bolstered his resume on Tuesday by spinning 6.1 innings of two-run ball with six strikeouts against Myrtle Beach.

Walker Jenkins, OF, Twins: Jenkins' career to this point has been marred, delayed and stymied by a series of injuries. He's healthy now, though, and on Tuesday offered a glimpse at the potential he showed as an amateur that helped convince the Twins to take him fifth overall two summers ago. Facing Amarillo, Jenkins, who is still just 20 years old, clubbed a double and a home run as part of a 3-for-5 night in his team's eventual walk-off loss to the Sod Poodles.

Baseball America Helium Pick Of The Day

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

Dylan Beavers, OF, Orioles: In July, Beavers hit .284/.448/.567 with four doubles, five home runs and 18 walks to just 13 strikeouts. Throughout the month, Beavers made pitchers work to get him out, producing nearly three times as many hits and walks as strikeouts. Beavers’ plate skills are excellent, giving hope he’ll hit for a high average and high walk rates to go with what is now average-or-better power.

Beavers has long shown promise, but at age 23, Beavers is hitting the ball harder and at better angles more consistently. His 90th percentile exit velocity jumped from 102 mph in 2024 across all levels to 105.4 mph in 2025. That’s a substantial increase from a 40-grade 90th percentile EV to a 55. This new raw power has also come with good angles, as Beavers’ barrel rate of 9.3% is in the 72nd percentile.

Things seem to be coming together for Beavers, who’s shown he’s ready for his MLB debut with his play this season at Triple-A. With the Orioles out of the playoff race and Beavers eligible for the Rule 5 draft this offseason, he’s likely to be added to the 40-man roster early.
