Kendry Rojas, LHP, Twins: The Twins plan to add the 23-year-old lefthander to their major league roster ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Mets, per Declan Goff and Darren Wolfson of SKOR North. Rojas was acquired from the Blue Jays at the 2025 trade deadline and is off to a strong start this year, throwing 7.2 scoreless innings. Rojas is currently the No. 8 prospect in the Twins' system and will join No. 13 prospect Andrew Morris, who recently made his debut, as part of a revamped pitching staff that will look to continue to build on the Twins' surprising start.
Zyhir Hope, OF, Dodgers: After starting the season with a 10-game hitting streak, Double-A Tulsa outfielder Zyhir Hope had gone hitless in three straight games. So, he came into Sunday looking to get back on a roll.
Mission accomplished.
Hope, ranked 57th in Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects list, went 4-for-5 with a home run, three runs scored, two RBIs and a stolen base against Double-A Arkansas. It was the fifth four-hit game of his career.
After lining a single to left field in the first, Hope got a fortunate break in the third. He topped a dribbler that traveled less than 15 feet, but it went just far enough to beat the throw of catcher Aaron McKeithan for an infield single. A fifth-inning single was another opposite-field liner to left. His fourth hit off the day was also his fourth going the other way, but instead of running in, this time left fielder Blake Rambusch watched the ball clear the fence for Hope's third homer of the season. Hope is wearing out the opposite field. All three of his home runs have gone to left field this year. He is hitting .291/.333/.491.
Cooper Ingle, C, Guardians: Ingle's hot start to the season with Triple-A Columbus got even better on Sunday, as the 24-year-old catcher doubled his home run total with a two-homer game. Ingle went 3-for-4 with a walk and four RBIs against Iowa. He homered on back-to-back at-bats, pulling a solo shot to right field off Connor Noland in the third (99.5 mph, 361 feet) and adding another to left field an inning later with a 388-foot homer off Tyler Beede. Ingle is one of the most productive hitters among catching prospects in the minors. While he struggled in a late-season promotion to Columbus last season, he's a .283/.416/.453 career hitter, and he's slashing .357/.617/.786 this season.
Noah Schultz, LHP, White Sox: In his second-ever MLB start, the White Sox lefthander was extremely impressive. Pitching in Sacramento, Schultz held the Athletics to one hit in five innings on Sunday. A Darrell Hernaiz home run was his lone mistake, as he allowed one run while striking out six and walking only one. Schultz's new-and-improved 88-90 mph cutter was once again an effective in-zone pitch. He threw it for eight strikes on 10 pitches. Schultz pounded the zone with his 93-97 mph fastball while also mixing in a changeup and sweeper. Including his three Triple-A starts, the No. 21 prospect in the game has walked one or fewer batters in four of five starts this year, and he's yet to allow more than three hits in any start.
Matt Wilkinson, Double-A Akron No-Hitter: Guardians lefthander Matt "Tugboat" Wilkinson threw five perfect innings against Double-A Binghamton on Sunday. While the Akron bullpen couldn't maintain the perfect game, they did keep the Rumble Ponies hitless for the final four innings to complete the combined no-hitter.
Matt Jachec handled the sixth, allowing one walk. Magnus Ellerts walked two but avoided giving up a run in the seventh. Jay Driver worked around a walk in the eighth, and Jack Carey walked two but got a popout from Eli Serrano III and a line out from Jose Ramos to finish the no-hitter. Wilkinson, who struck out six on 70 pitches, is now 1-1 with a 1.35 ERA in three starts this year. A breakout prospect in 2024 who found High-A Lake County tougher to handle in 2025, Wilkinson has 17 strikeouts and three walks in 13.1 innings so far in 2026. The no-hitter is Akron's first since 2015 and the sixth in team history.
High-A Beloit No-Hitter: The Marlins' Aiden May and Justin Storm combined to no-hit High-A South Bend on Sunday. May worked the first six innings, walking two and hitting one batter. Storm followed up by throwing three perfect innings to close out the combined no-hitter. Storm did a good job ensuring there was no drama--only one batter drove the ball out of the infield against him. For May, it's another step forward after an injury-ravaged 2025 season. He ranked as the Marlins' No. 20 prospect coming into 2025, but he threw just 27.1 innings last season because of loose bodies in his elbow that required surgery. He is now 2-0 with a 3.45 ERA this season across three starts for High-A Beloit.
