A.J. Ewing, OF, Mets: Ewing was one of the most productive young hitters in spring training games. He kept hitting in the minor leagues, first at Double-A Binghamton and then at Triple-A Syracuse. His next stop is New York after the Mets called him up Monday in time for the team's homestand versus the Tigers and Yankees this week.

The 21-year-old Ewing batted .339/.447/.514 in 30 games at his two minor league stops this year. He hit two home runs and stole 17 bases in 18 tries while accumulating more walks (22) than strikeouts (20).

Ewing is a 5-foot-10 lefthanded hitter who came to camp this year noticeably stronger. He has the type of dynamic game that can only help a Mets offense that ranks last in MLB in virtually all categories and is the biggest contributing factor to the club's 15-25 start.

Ewing is comfortable at all three outfield spots. He joins fellow rookies—and preseason Top 100 Prospects—Nolan McLean and Carson Benge as key members of the Mets' future.

Henry Bolte, OF, Athletics: Fresh off a No. 1 ranking in this week's Prospect Hot Sheet, Bolte is getting the call to the big leagues. The Athletics are calling up the 22-year-old outfielder in time for the club's six-game homestand versus the Cardinals and Giants this week.

Bolte is a NorCal product whom the A's drafted in the second round in 2022 out of Palo Alto High. He reached Triple-A Las Vegas for the first time last summer and resumed the assignment this season. Through 37 games he batted .348/.418/.658 and led the Pacific Coast League with 12 home runs, 41 runs and 55 hits.

Bolte is a tall righthanded hitter with power, speed and the defensive chops to handle any outfield position. If he hits—he lowered his Triple-A strikeout rate from 33% last year to 22% this year—then he could develop into an everyday player.

Yeremy Cabrera, OF, Nationals: Cabrera batted .333/.465/.649 with a Carolina League-leading seven home runs and 28 walks. Now, the 20-year-old takes his talents to High-A Wilmington, following news Monday that the Nationals are promoting him one level higher.

Washington acquired Cabrera from the Rangers in January as part of the five-prospect return for MacKenzie Gore. Texas signed the lefthanded-hitting Cabrera out of the Dominican Republic in 2022, and with this being his 40-man roster evaluation season, it makes sense that the Nationals would want to see what he can do against higher levels of competition.

Rainiel Rodriguez, C, Cardinals: The Cardinals promoted 19-year-old catcher Rainiel Rodriguez to Double-A Springfield. In 28 games for High-A Peoria he batted .311/.430/.519 with four home runs, eight doubles and a triple.

When Rodriguez plays in his first game for Springfield, he will become the third teenage position player to appear in a Double-A game this year, joining Jesus Made and Leo De Vries.

Rodriguez is one of the top catching prospects in baseball and has a powerful righthanded bat that would play even if he has to move out from behind the plate. He started at first base six times in the Midwest League and another six at DH.

Rodriguez is no stranger to in-season promotions. Last year, he climbed from the Florida Complex League to Low-A Palm Beach to Peoria for the final week of the season.

Editor’s Picks

Baseball America Helium Pick Of The Day

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

Ethan Petry, OF, Nationals: Petry had an excellent collegiate career at South Carolina, hitting 54 home runs over three seasons and slashing .336/.462/.661. He had a nice post-draft debut last season with Low-A Fredericksburg and has picked up where he left off to begin 2026, posting a .309/.427/.521 line with 10 extra-base hits in 24 games with High-A Wilmington.

Petry has dominated High-A competition, flashing impressive underlying data. He’s made contact at a high rate, attacked strikes, rarely chased and hit the ball hard. His impressive exit velocity data really sticks out, as his 56.9% hard-hit rate puts him in elite company.

Petry will likely see a greater challenge at Double-A, but he’s showing strong underlying traits. He’s one of 12 prospects posting impressive 90th percentile EVs early in 2026.
