Oña is the lone reserve outfielder, while Tatis Jr. is one of the reserve infielders.
"I'm really proud of the hard work these guys have put it, and am glad to see them rewarded," said TinCaps manager Anthony Contreras.
Allen, the 17th-ranked Prospect in the Padres organization by MLB.com, leads the TinCaps and is sixth in the Midwest League with a 1.75 ERA. The left-hander also leads the team and ranks third in the league in strikeouts with 64. The 20-year old was originally drafted by Boston in the 8th round of the 2015 draft before San Diego acquired Allen in a trade that sent five-time All-Star
Oña, who was signed by the Padres as an international free agent in 2016 out of Havana, Cuba, leads the TinCaps in batting average (.303) and on-base percentage (.364). The 20-year old also ranks third on the team in slugging percentage (.413). Despite missing more than two weeks with an injury, Oña is second on the team in hits (47), third in RBIs (19), and tied with Tatis Jr. for the team lead in multi-hit games (15). This is Oña's first season in Minor League Baseball and MLB.com ranks him as the Padres' 7th-best prospect.
