Kiley McDaniel at ESPN updated his top 50 prospects this week, with four Dodgers in the top 50.
Outfielder Josue De Paula is now 18th, up from 21st in January. River Ryan made the largest jump, now ranked 49th after No. 125 in the offseason, due to the fact that he’s now healthy after missing all of last season after Tommy John surgery, and is also back from a four-week stint on the Triple-A injured list with a hamstring strain.
Also updating their prospect rankings in the last few weeks were Baseball America and MLB Pipeline, with new top 100s for both.

New voice in the booth
Joe Davis and Orel Hershiser are calling Friday and Sunday’s games in Milwaukee on SportsNet LA, with Davis calling Saturday’s game for Fox. In the Dodgers radio booth this weekend is Tim Neverett and James Loney.
Rick Monday called the first 50 games of the season on radio, but he’s in Cooperstown this weekend, with the American flag he saved on April 25, 1976 at Dodger Stadium on display at the Hall of Fame from this weekend through Labor Day. Monday will also take part in the Hall of Fame Military Classic baseball game on Saturday at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown.
Monday will also be honored at the Hall of Fame during induction weekend on July 25.
Loney filled in last year for two games on radio, both at home, coincidentally also against the Brewers. These are his first time calling games on the road.
