Here’s a look at top prospects to watch in Monday’s Minor League action:
Hitter to watch: Mauricio Dubon (Red Sox’s No. 11), Portland vs. Trenton (7 p.m. ET on MiLB.TV)
Dubon recorded his second straight multi-hit game on Sunday as he went 4-for-4 with two doubles in Double-A Portland’s loss against Binghamton.
