We here at MiLB.com can never get enough Minor League Baseball. If you're reading this, we're guessing the same can be said for yourself. Now we've made it easy for you to take in four games at a time and up to eight games total, all from the comfort of home.

Introducing MiLB Big Inning.

The inaugural edition of the Minor League wraparound show will air from 7-8:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday night for free on MLB.TV and the MiLB.com and MLB Pipeline homepages.

Borrowing from the concept of MLB Big Inning, MiLB Big Inning will show a quad box of Minor League games from across the Triple-A and Double-A levels. Eight different games will be swapped in and out as top prospects take the hill or come to the plate, big moments arise or highlight-worthy plays are made. MLB Pipeline’s Sam Dykstra and Double-A Binghamton Rumble Ponies broadcaster Jacob Wilkins will guide you throughout the 90-minute window, directing your attention to each game as the night progresses.

To get a taste of what’s to come, here are the eight games that will be featured in Tuesday's edition of MiLB Big Inning:

Triple-A

Syracuse Mets (NYM) at Worcester Red Sox (BOS): Worcester alone boasts three Top 100 prospects -- No. 13 Roman Anthony, No. 26 Kyle Teel and No. 76 Kristian Campbell. Campbell will be pushing to improve his .994 OPS across three levels on the season, giving him the second-best mark in the Minor Leagues. Visiting Syracuse brings along No. 78 overall prospect Drew Gilbert, who has gone deep three times in seven games this month as well as the Mets' 40-man member Luisangel Acuña.

St. Paul Saints (MIN) at Columbus Clippers (COL): MLB's No. 21 prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez delivered his first Triple-A homer with an inside-the-park grand slam on Saturday. His plus power and above-average speed, along with his exceptionally patient approach, could make for more sights Tuesday. On the other side, Angel Martínez (No. 7) and Juan Brito (No. 9) give Columbus two Top 10 Guardians prospects in the lineup.

Rochester Red Wings (WSH) at Indianapolis Indians (PIT): No. 40 overall prospect Bubba Chandler is slated to make his sixth Triple-A start, meaning you can expect this game at Victory Field to get a lot of Big Inning run. The former Clemson recruit sports a 1.93 ERA with 36 strikeouts in 28 innings at the Minors' top level. He could have his hands full with a Rochester lineup that includes No. 67 overall prospect Brady House and 2020 eighth overall pick Robert Hassell III.

Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (MIA) at Charlotte Knights (CWS): Deyvison De Los Santos leads the Minors with 37 homers. No else has hit more than 32 in 2024. Charlotte's Truist Field is hitter-friendly by International League standards. Get our drift? Add in No. 2 White Sox prospect Colson Montgomery and key Trade Deadline pickup Agustin Ramirez – two more players with at least plus raw power – and there could be a slugfest in the Queen City.

Norfolk Tides (BAL) at Durham Bulls (TB): The Tides always seem to have a notable young bopper in recent years, and the latest is 20-year-old catcher Samuel Basallo, who is within reach of a second straight 20-homer season. Even with his left-handed swing, MLB's No. 10 prospect could have a chance to nail the iconic "Hit Bull, Win Steak" sign above the wall in left field at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

Lehigh Valley IronPigs (PHI) at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (NYY): The Yankees' Triple-A affiliate may have lost Jasson Domínguez to the Majors, but it remains very much in the International League playoff race. Entering Tuesday with a 36-26 record, the RailRiders sit four games back of Columbus in the second-half standings with two weeks remaining. An in-state rivalry matchup against Lehigh Valley could make for a fun night at PNC Field.

Double-A

Birmingham Barons (CWS) at Tennessee Smokies (CHC): Speaking of the postseason, this is a Southern League playoff preview between the North Division first-half champion (Birmingham) and second-half winner (Tennessee). Gifted defenders Pablo Aliendo and Brett Bateman will be two of the Smokies hoping to hold off No. 11 White Sox prospect Jacob Gonzalez and the Barons.

Bowie Baysox (BAL) at Erie SeaWolves (DET): The Tigers' Double-A affiliate took home last year's Eastern League title, and after winning the first-half Southwest Division crown this season, the SeaWolves are gearing up for another postseason run in the final week of Double-A play this week. Trying to keep them from gaining momentum will be No. 4 Orioles prospect Enrique Bradfield Jr. -- who sports 80-grade speed and a 70-grade glove -- and the rest of the Baysox.
