After a strong start to his Triple-A season, it looks like Jordan Lawlar is getting rewarded. The Arizona Diamondbacks plan to call up Lawlar, whom The Athletic ranked as the No. 10 prospect in MLB (and the top prospect in the D-Backs' system), ahead of a game in San Francisco on Monday night, according to general manager Mike Hazen. In 37 games with the Triple-A Reno Aces, the 22-year-old slashed .336/.413/.579 with 15 doubles, 31 RBI and 13 stolen bases.

The Tampa Bay Rays selected outfielder Chandler Simpson, considered by some to be the fastest player in professional baseball, from Triple-A Durham on Friday. Simpson, 24, has 214 stolen bases in the minors, including eight this season in 17 games for Triple-A Durham, where he hit .301/.325/.329. With Kameron Misner (0.9 fWAR) and Jake Mangum (0.6 fWAR) both manning center field and playing well this season, why would the Rays promote Simpson now?
