Royals 2B Michael Massey , Rookie Advanced Burlington: 4-for-4, HR, 3 RBI, 1 R, BB -- Kansas City's No. 29 prospect posted the first four-hit game of his brief professional career and belted his fourth Appy League homer. A fourth-round pick in this year's Draft, Massey has transitioned nicely from the University of Illinois, compiling a .290/.346/.414 slash line in 34 games. The 21-year-old reached base five times against Greeneville while extending his hitting streak to 10 games.
Reds OF Michael Siani , Class A Dayton: 3-for-5, HR, 2B, 3 RBI, 2 R -- The Reds' No. 8 prospect registered his first three-hit game of the month and fell a triple shy of the cycles in the Dragons' 9-6 loss at Lansing. Siani collected three RBIs, the most runs he's driven in since plating five on July 18 against Quad Cities. He's coming off the best month of his season, batting .326 with a .768 OPS in 24 games in July.
Braves OF Drew Waters , Triple-A Gwinnett: 3-for-4, 2B, RBI, 2 R -- The No. 2 Braves prospect has flourished since his Aug. 5 promotion to the International League. In a 9-3 loss to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Waters posted his second three-hit game with the Stripers and first since his Triple-A debut. The 20-year-old has a .333/.358/.453 slash line in 51 at-bats with Gwinnett and is tied for fifth among all Minor Leaguers with 151 hits.
