This week’s minor league roundup will only feature the numbers accumulated prior to the start of play on Monday.
This was the 24th week of minor league play.
According to FanGraphs (which factors in age and proximity to the big leagues), newcomer Jadher Areinamo remains the top hitter in the Rays system; the Rays acquired the 21-year old infielder from Milwaukee for Danny Jansen in late July.
Meanwhile, Ty Johnson continues to be the team’s top minor league pitcher. The 23-year old came to the Rays
as part of the return for Isaac Paredes and is having a fantastic season in Double-A.
