Roman Anthony, OF, Red Sox: Anthony went 2-for-3 with two walks and two home runs on Sunday for Triple-A Worcester. Anthony’s first home run was a 109.6 mph, 412-foot shot to right field that landed on the awning of the concession stands beyond right field. He went the other way for his second home run, hitting a high fly ball 106.4 mph, 364 feet to left field. His big Sunday means he’s tied for the very early MiLB lead in home runs. Anthony is hitting .333/.600/1.333 with four walks and just one strikeout in 10 plate appearances.

Jacob Misiorowski, RHP, Brewers: Misiorowski wasn’t perfect, but he did impress in his 2025 Triple-A debut. Misiorowski walked Jakob Marsee to begin the game. Marsee stole second and advanced to third on a balk, but Misiorowski struck out Maximo Acosta, Agustin Ramirez and Deyvison De Los Santos to get out of trouble. Similarly, in the third inning, he struck out Acosta again to leave Jacob Berry (who had walked) stranded in scoring position. In the third, Misiorowski walked Ramirez and gave up a single to De Los Santos to start the inning, but he got a strikeout, flyout and groundout to again avoid allowing any runs to score. Misiorowski allowed just one hit and three walks while striking out seven in five scoreless innings. He sat at 95-97 mph and consistently landed his slider for strikes.

Coby Mayo, 3B/1B, Orioles: Mayo went 3-for-5 with his first home run of the season on Sunday for Triple-A Norfolk, blasting a home run into the bullpen beyond left center field. Mayo has played first base in two of the first three games, as the long-time third baseman continues to get comfortable at first. Mayo is now hitting .250/.308/.500.

Dylan Crews, OF, Nationals: Crews went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts on Sunday, continuing a very dubious streak to open the season in Washington. Crews struck out in all five plate appearances on Saturday, so he’s now struck out in eight consecutive plate appearances. Crews went 0-for-3 with a walk in his 2025 debut, so he’s now 0-for-11 with one walk and eight strikeouts for a .000/.083/.000 slash line.

Tink Hence, RHP, Cardinals: Hence will miss two months of the season with a rib cage injury, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports. The Cardinals have placed Hence on the MiLB 60-day injured list effective March 28, which means he will not be eligible to return to action until the end of May. By placing him on the 60-day IL he does not currently count to the team’s 165-player MiLB domestic player limit. The injury is the latest setback for Hence comes after he missed significant time last year with a lat injury.

Kyle Teel, C, White Sox: Teel has made an excellent introduction to his new teammates. Acquired during the offseason in the Garrett Crochet trade, Teel went 3-for-5 with a double and a home run on Saturday with Triple-A Charlotte. He also homered in a two-hit day on Friday. With Edgar Quero as a teammate, the pair of White Sox catchers are in a job share. Quero served as the catcher on Friday, while Teel DH’d. On Saturday Teel caught while Quero was the DH.
