5 Hudson Head, OF, Low-A Bradenton: Still gets on base a lot, with a .378 on-base percentage, and his OPS remains just shy of .800. Went 4-for-19 this week, though, lowering his season batting average to .216.

6 Tahnaj Thomas, RHP, High-A Greensboro: Pitched 4 1/3 innings last Sunday in his second start since returning from some time off to work on mechanics. Once again did not allow a walk and struck out three while allowing two earned runs on four hits.
