Here are some note-worthy prospect recaps to enjoy to get your mind off those last-minute tax-preparations...
- Jake Arrieta has now gone two starts in Triple-A without giving up a run, notes Danny Wild of MLB.com. Given the Orioles' struggles at the big league level, it may not be too long until Arrieta gets his call to Baltimore to join Brian Matusz in their starting rotation. Matusz has been the lone bright spot in an otherwise dismal start to the Orioles' season, and R.J. Anderson of Fan Graphs.com has a breakdown of just how good he's been thus far.
- Andrew Cashner reached double-digits in strikeouts for the second straight game, reports MiLB.com. This time, the Cubs' top pitching prospect took a no-hitter into the 7th inning.
- The Mets' are still debating how they should be using Jenrry Mejia, reports Andy Martino of the New York Daily News, despite the fact that they already have him in the majors. Apparently not everyone in their front office thinks it's a good idea. Of course, we could have told them that a month ago.
- The St. Louis Cardinals have promoted C prospect Bryan Anderson to the majors to fill in for the injured Jason LaRue as the backup to Yadier Molina, reports Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The move indicates a shift in the team's catching depth chart from Spring Training when Anderson was thought to be behind Matt Pagnozzi.
- Don't read anything into Austin Jackson's day off yesterday, as Tigers' manager Jim Leyland says Jackson will be back in the lineup tomorrow against Felix Hernandez, reports John Lowe of the Detroit Free Press. So instead of facing Kyle Davies, the rookie Jackson gets to face King Felix. Welcome to the bigs, Austin. At least he still has his defense, which is also turning some heads, according to Jason Beck of MLB.com.
