Jaylin Davis (Elizabethton 2016), Estevan Florial (Pulaski 2016), and Cristian Javier (Greeneville Astros 2016) were standout prospects on Saturday.

Giants OF Jaylin Davis , Triple-A Sacramento: 3-for-4, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 4 R, 1 BB -- If you're looking for home runs, Davis has you covered. A night after recording his first career three-homer game, the 25-year-old tacked on two more big flies to bring his total to six in the first three games of the River Cats' four-game series in Reno. Acquired from the Twins at the Trade Deadline, he's 21-for-52 (.404) with a 1.462 OPS, eight homers and 19 RBIs in 14 games in the Pacific Coast League.
Yankees CF Estevan Florial , Class A Advanced Tampa: Game 1 -- 2-for-5, HR, 2B, 1 RBI, 2 R; Game 2 -- 2-for-4, 1 R -- MLB.com's No. 65 overall prospect combined for four hits, including his eighth homer of the season, as the Tarpons split a doubleheader with Dunedin. Florial is 6-for-15 with a pair of dingers, four RBIs and five runs scored over his last four games to push his slash line to .243/.304/.409. The Yankees' No. 2 prospect is batting .306 with 13 RBIs in 13 games in August. 
Astros RHP Cristian Javier , Double-A Corpus Christi: 4 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 10 Ks -- Houston's No. 10 prospect turned in another stellar outing in the Hooks' 3-2 win over Midland. Javier threw only four innings but tied his season high for strikeouts. He pitched through the eighth, when 18th-ranked J.J. Matijevic doubled home the go-ahead run, and recorded one out in the ninth. He lowered his ERA to 2.07 in 17 appearances with Corpus Christi and 1.75 overall for the season.
