Jhonny Level, SS, Giants: Chuck Berry was right: Jhonny be good. The rising Giants prospect continued his assault on the Arizona Complex League on Monday by going 3-for-5 with a home run. The blast was his eighth of the year, placing him one behind teammate Dario Reynoso and Cincinnati prospect Arnaldo Lantigua for the league lead. He's also among the league's leaders in RBIs (32), hits (57), extra-base hits (21) and total bases (98). How did he come by such gaudy numbers? By swinging a bat just like he was ringin' a bell.

Bryce Eldridge, 1B, Giants: After landing on the injured list on June 24 with a strained hamstring, Eldridge is back on the field. The massive slugger and top Giants prospect played in his first rehab game in the Arizona Complex League—all full-season minor leagues are off until Friday—and went 2-for-3 with an RBI before exiting.

Diego Tornes, OF, Braves: In Ben Badler's review of the Braves' 2025 international signing class, he noted that Tornes had increased his speed and athleticism since signing. On Monday, he showed off the fruits of that hard work. The Cuban native—who just turned 17 on July 3—racked up a pair of triples as part of a 3-for-5 effort with two RBIs and two walks. The triples were Tornes' fourth and fifth of the season.

Cris Rodriguez, OF, Tigers: Rodriguez earned the highest bonus of any outfielder in the 2025 international class. In his pro debut, he's living up to that outlay. His team's game lasted 4 1/2 innings on Monday before rain intervened, but Rodriguez still found time to collect three singles in as many trips. He also stole two bases, his sixth and seventh of the year.

Baseball America Helium Pick Of The Day

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

Marlon Nieves, RHP, Dodgers: Nieves is one of the Dodgers' up-arrow pitchers down in the Arizona Complex League. Like most arms at the lower levels, he's been inconsistent. When he's right, however, he can dominate. On Monday he used his mid-90s heat to hold the the ACL Brewers to just one run over four innings while striking out six and walking nobody. For the season, Nieves has 57 strikeouts in 47.1 innings. Seventeen of those Ks have come over nine innings in July.
