Prospects poised for MLB September call-ups
19 Aug
Summary
- Roster expansion allows teams to add two players in September.
- Prospects called up won't lose eligibility for future seasons.
- MLB Pipeline experts discuss top prospects likely to debut.
As September approaches, Major League Baseball teams will expand their rosters from 26 to 28 players, creating opportunities for top prospects to gain experience. Crucially, any player called up within the final 45 days of the regular season will retain their prospect eligibility for future years. This allows contending and rebuilding clubs to evaluate talent.
MLB Pipeline's Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo have identified several promising players expected to make their MLB debuts. Among those highlighted are pitchers Kade Anderson (Mariners) and Gage Wood (Phillies), along with hitters Ralphy Velazquez (Guardians), Walker Jenkins (Twins), Theo Gillen (Rays), Michael Arroyo (Mariners), River Ryan (Tigers), Franklin Arias (Red Sox), Sebastian Walcott (Rangers), and Jesús Made (Brewers). These prospects have demonstrated significant talent in the minor leagues.
