Shane Victorino - OF - Red Sox

Red Sox manager John Farrell indicated Sunday that it's possible Shane Victorino (back) will be activated from the disabled list at the start of the second half.

It seems unlikely, though, given that he's yet to play a full rehab game. Victorino has had multiple setbacks during his rehab assignment, so it's unsafe to expect him to return on any certain day until he's officially activated.

Cam Bedrosian - R - Angels

Angels prospect right-hander Cam Bedrosian struck out one batter in a perfect inning for Double-A Arkansas on Saturday.

Bedrosian needed just 12 pitches to retire all three batters in the ninth inning, including a strikeout looking to end the game. He features a mid-90s fastball and a hard, two-plane slider that are the arsenal of a dominant closer.
Jul 13 - 12:14 PM
Mitch Nay - 3B - Blue Jays

Blue Jays prospect third baseman Mitch Nay went 2-for-4 with a double for Low-A Lansing on Saturday.

Nay has hit .404/.435/.526 with seven doubles during his 14-game hitting streak, raising his season line to .291/.351/.389. The 20-year old Arizona-native has hit well for the season, but Jays fans would like to see him tap into his power during game situations. Nay is likely to stay in the Midwest League for the rest of the year, then spend 2015 in the High-A Florida State League.

Cliff Lee - S - Phillies

Cliff Lee (elbow) is on track to rejoin the Phillies' rotation on July 21 versus the Giants.

He originally had been pegged for a July 19 return, but the Phils will apparently give him a couple extra days. Lee will make what will be his final rehab start at High-A Clearwater on Monday, provided he doesn't have a setback. He has allowed three runs over six innings in his first two rehab outings.

Taijuan Walker - S - Mariners

Mariners right-handed pitching prospect Taijuan Walker scattered four hits and one walk over five innings, allowing one run for Triple-A Tacoma.

Walker pitched well against a Fresno Bears lineup that included Gary Brown, Adam Duvall, Andrew Susac, and Travis Ishikawa. He threw 50 of his 83 pitches for strikes (60.2 percent), and two of the four hits were double. Walker will be back in the major leagues in about a week to make a start against the New York Mets.
Jul 13 - 12:04 PM
Archie Bradley - S - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks right-handed pitching prospect Archie Bradley struck out five over 5 2/3 innings for Double-A Mobile on Saturday, allowing three hits, four walks, and one run.

Bradley has pitched well, though not spectacularly, for the Mobile BayBears over four starts. Logically, Bradley should return to Triple-A Reno before making his major league debut, but the Diamondbacks front office may want to keep him out of the hitter-haven that is Reno and the Pacific Coast League. His timetable is unclear, but his prospect status has not been affected in any appreciable amount.
Jul 13 - 11:55 AM
Jairo Beras - OF - Rangers

Rangers prospect outfielder Jairo Beras went 4-for-5 with a double for Low-A Hickory on Saturday.

After the game on June 14, Beras was hitting .190/.257/.224, but he has hit .400/.440/.643 since then to raise his average to .250/.308/.344. He is one of the many high-ceiling prospects in the Rangers organization, and he has the potential to a perennial All-Star slugging outfielder, though he is unlikely to reach the major leagues until 2018.
Jul 13 - 11:50 AM
Desmond Jennings - OF - Rays

Desmond Jennings (knee) remained out of the Rays' lineup Sunday.

Jennings has sat out two straight games with a bruised left knee, but he's expected to be fine after the All-Star break. Kevin Kiermaier is in center field again Sunday.
