Brendon Davis is happy to be home in Southern California and he's given his new teammates plenty of reasons to be happy he's joined them.

"I played with most of these guys, whether last year or in Spring Training, so I already have good relationships with a lot of them," the Dodgers' No. 28 prospect said. "So I didn't feel like I have to prove anything, but it's been good to make an impression."

In his third California League game, Davis set a career high with five RBIs while going 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles, a walk, a run scored and a head-turning play at third base in Class A Advanced Rancho Cucamonga's 11-4 romp over Lancaster at LoanMart Field.

J.D. Davis bashed the ball all over the Texas League for the first three-plus months of the 2017 season, and now that he's closer to home, he's not slowing down.

In his seventh Triple-A game, Houston's No. 15 prospect belted two homers -- one a grand slam -- as Triple-A Fresno scored seven times in the eighth inning en route to a 10-3 win over New Orleans.

Mark Canha returned to the Minor Leagues mindful of what he needed to fix and confident he could get the job done. More and more, it looks like he's figured things out.

Canha led the way on a potent offensive night for Triple-A Nashville, going 5-for-5 with two homers and four RBIs as the Sounds scored all of their runs in the first four innings of a 10-4 win over Las Vegas at First Tennessee Park.

Frank Schwindel admits he's been a streaky power hitter from time to time, but he's never had a run quite like the one he's currently on.

"It's crazy," the Royals first-base prospect said. "It's kind of hard to believe. I'm just trying to ride it out and take it day by day. I try to keep it simple and good things are going to happen."

On Tuesday, Schwindel went 2-for-5 with two RBIs and his fourth home run in four games, to lead Triple-A Omaha to a 5-1 win over Albuquerque at Isotopes Park. He's gone yard eight times in his last 10 outings.

It had been more than a month since Alex Verdugo had gone deep, so he didn't mind getting some assistance when he homered on Tuesday night. 

"I was just hoping it'd get over [right fielder Zach Borenstein's] head and it'd be a double," said the second-ranked Dodgers prospect, who rounded the bases for the first time since June 14. "I think it wound up hitting him in the forehead or something and cleared the fence." 

That's pretty much what it did as Verdugo picked up two hits and four RBIs in Triple-A Oklahoma City's 9-7 loss to Reno at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. Dodgers No. 4 prospect Willie Calhoun homered in his third straight game on a three-hit night.

Nearly a month into his Double-A career, Brendan Rodgers looks to be finding his footing in the Eastern League. 

Colorado's top prospect recorded his 17th three-hit game of the year in Hartford's 7-1 loss in the completion of Monday night's game against Trenton. 

Lucas Giolito has taken some lumps during his first season with the White Sox. But Tuesday night, the No. 7 White Sox prospect again showed that when things are right, he's capable of dominance. 

Giolito scattered four hits and three walks while striking out six in seven scoreless innings as Triple-A Charlotte beat Columbus, 4-1, at BB&T Ballpark. 

Norge Ruiz tried to get tricky Monday night, and it will cost him at least one start.

Oakland's No. 20 prospect was suspended 10 games by the California League on Tuesday for doctoring a baseball. The Class A Advanced Stockton starter was ejected in the third inning of Monday's game against Visalia after a foreign substance was found on his left arm.

July may be nearing its end, but All-Star season isn't over yet.

Ryan Vilade, the Rockies' No. 7 prospect, and Dodgers No. 13 prospect Starling Heredia headline this year's group of Pioneer League All-Stars, the Rookie-level circuit announced Tuesday. The Pioneer squad will take on its peers from the Class A Short Season Northwest League on Tuesday, August 1 at 10:05 p.m. ET in Hillsboro, Oregon.

Harrison Bader's second go-round at Triple-A has been much better than his first, and it's earned him a shot in the Major Leagues.

The Cardinals promoted their No. 6 prospect from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday to take the roster spot of the injured Dexter Fowler, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list in a corresponding move.
