"textContent": "Welcome to Diamond Diplomas! Whether you compete in the deepest of dynasty leagues or want to win the office redraft title, Prospects Live has you covered. Before we dive in, here is a quick overview of the tier system. Both the hitter and pitcher lists feature three “tiers” of prospects. These tiers loosely correspond to the PLive Dynasty prospect rankings of these players relative to one another, but the author (yours truly) will often place and move names around to more accurately reflect both their real-time dynasty value and their potential for major league fantasy production in 2026. For a full breakdown of the tier system used to prioritize players, take a look at the first article in this season’s series here:\n\nDiamond Diplomas 3/31/26: A Quero’s JourneyLucas Morel (@theprospectprof) delivers a rundown of all the players getting their caps and gowns ready for graduation to the major leagues. Class is in session, time to find out who you need to add to your roster or watch list this week.Prospects LiveLucas Morel\n\nCheck out the standout performers from the past week in the latest Report Card (all statistics courtesy of _Baseball Reference, Baseball Savant_ , _Fangraphs, Milb.com, and TJStats_ , updated as of the conclusion of play on June 1):\n\n## Report Card\n\n### **Called Up** :\n\n * Edwin Arroyo, SS/2B (CIN): While Reds fans will understandably be upset about losing Elly De La Cruz to a hamstring injury, his move to the injured list opens up a spot for Arroyo to make his big league debut. The 22-year-old has been one of the hottest hitters in Triple-A this season, and is leaving the level with a .945 OPS. He should see pretty regular playing time in the short term, and could be a sneakily cheap source of counting stats for fantasy, albeit without the lofty ceiling of the star he replaces.\n * Jimmy Crooks, C (STL): The Cardinals have needed a new face behind the dish for a while now, so Crooks’ call-up comes as little surprise given how well he has hit the ball at Triple-A in 2026 (152 wRC+). Though unlikely to start everyday, he seems set to receive his fair share of starts at catcher for St. Louis, and is worth a look in deeper, two-catcher formats for fantasy.\n * Jacob Gonzalez, UTIL (CWS): The White Sox called up yet another one of their hitting prospects with helium this weekend, giving Gonzalez an opportunity to step in for the injured Munetaka Murakami. The former first-rounder has seen his game power explode in 2026, hitting 19 home runs in his first 52 Triple-A games. That eye-popping number is more homers than he had accrued in the last two seasons combined (16), so consider his fantasy upside with a grain of salt.\n * Charles McAdoo, 1B/3B (TOR): Had he been top billing in terms of MLB debuts this week, today’s article would have been called “McAdoo About Nothing,” but that tongue-in-cheek title undersells the fantasy implications of this move a bit. McAdoo is a slightly older prospect at 24 years old, but he has moderate power and speed potential having tallied 16 home runs and 34 stolen bases at Double-A last year. If he hits the ground running literally and figuratively, he could provide a burst of productivity for fantasy managers in deeper dynasty leagues.\n * Jase Bowen, OF (SD): Bowen is honestly quite similar as a fantasy asset to McAdoo with respect to their age, prospect pedigree, and upside. Keep a close eye on our PLive Playing Time tracker, though, because the 25-year-old outfielder lacks a clear path to regular at-bats in the Padres lineup at present.\n * Gage Jump, P (ATH): The A’s Jump-ed the gun on last week’s Diamond Diplomas article, with reports of the heralded southpaw’s call-up breaking in the early AM hours pre-publication. His first outing was mediocre, but Jump has frontline potential if he can both keep the walks in check, and learn to navigate the hitter-friendly confines of his new home ballpark. He is worth a speculative add (or at the minimum, stream) in redraft formats with rosters that allow for a decent amount of bench spot churn.\n * Trey Gibson, P (BAL): Gibson has been the go-to spot starter for the Orioles of late, oscillating between Triple-A and the majors whenever his services are required by the big league club. He pitched well against Tampa last Wednesday, though, and could earn a full-time rotation role if an injury to one of the team’s current starters arises. For now, he heads back to Norfolk to bide his time.\n\n\n\n## Sign up for Prospects Live\n\nYour one stop shop for Dynasty Fantasy Baseball, MLB Draft, Baseball Card & MiLB Baseball content.
