Here’s a look at top prospects to watch in Monday’s Minor League action:
Hitter to watch: Jorge Polanco (Twins’ No. 5), Rochester vs. Buffalo (7:05 p.m. ET on MiLB.TV)
Polanco already has had three stints with the Twins this season. In his most recent stint, the 22-year-old shortstop hit his first big league home run while posting a .918 OPS in 23 plate appearances. The No. 91 overall prospect has continued to show some pop since returning to the Minors on May 23, hitting .353 (18-for-51) with seven extra-base hits in 13 games for Rochester.

Overall, Musgrove is 4-2 with a 1.64 ERA, a 1.01 WHIP and 50/9 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 49 1/3 innings (10 appearances/eight starts) this season between Double-A Corpus Christi and Fresno.
