Carlos Lagrange, the New York Yankees’ No. 2 prospect and ranked No. 81 in MLB’s Top 100, continued his strong performance at Double-A Somerset with another effective outing on Sunday. Lagrange pitched five innings, allowing just one run on five hits and one walk while striking out five against Hartford. This start lowered his ERA at Double-A to 2.68 over 12 starts this season. It also marked the tenth time this year that he has held opponents to no more than a single run in an appearance.
Other top prospects across Minor League Baseball also delivered notable performances on Sunday. Jarlin Susana of the Harrisburg Senators (Nationals) struck out ten batters over five innings, following up a career-high thirteen-strikeout game earlier in the week. JJ Wetherholt of Triple-A Memphis (Cardinals) recorded his second consecutive three-hit game and drove in two runs, continuing his productive first full professional season since being drafted seventh overall in 2024.
Jordan Lawlar (Diamondbacks), recently back from a hamstring injury, had a three-hit game for Reno and has hit safely in seven of eight games since returning from the injured list. Noah Schultz (White Sox) made his first start since early July due to knee discomfort, pitching two innings with four strikeouts as he works toward finishing the regular season strong at Triple-A before participating in the Arizona Fall League.
Jaxon Wiggins (Cubs) continued his solid comeback after shoulder discomfort by throwing three scoreless innings for Double-A Knoxville, maintaining a 1.93 ERA across 65â…“ innings this season with improved command.
Rainiel Rodriguez (Cardinals), an 18-year-old catcher for Palm Beach, hit his tenth home run of the season at Single-A—his seventeenth overall—moving him into a tie for sixth place on the Florida State League’s home run list despite playing fewer games than most league leaders.
Tate Southisene (Braves), selected twenty-second overall in the recent draft, went three-for-five with two extra-base hits—including his first triple—in just his fourth professional game for Single-A Augusta.
