Triston Casas, 1B, Red Sox—Casas’ standout season isn’t over yet. He reached base in all five of his plate appearances in Scottsdale’s 9-7 loss to Surprise on Tuesday. Casas had a pair of singles, drew three walks and scored twice for the Scorpions. He is now batting .373 with a .993 OPS in the AFL, an excellent follow-up to a regular season that saw him advance to Triple-A and lead Team USA to a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics.

Austin Wells, C, Yankees – Whatever position he ends up playing, there remains little question Wells will hit. The Yankees No. 5 prospect went 3-for-4 with two doubles and four RBIs to lead Surprise over Scottsdale. His first double drove in Yankees teammate Elijah Dunham to cut Surprise’s deficit to 4-3, and his second double drove in a pair to cap a five-run outburst by the Saguaros in the fourth inning. Wells is now batting .305 with a .925 OPS in the AFL, part of a strong Yankees contingent making an outsized impact on the league.

Dominic Canzone, OF, D-backs — Canzone continues to hit, hit, and hit some more. The D-backs outfield prospect went 3-for-5 with a double and a home run to lead Salt River to a 5-0 win over Peoria at Salt River Fields. The performance was Canzone’s latest in a breakout fall for the Ohio State product. Canzone is now batting .349 with a .986 OPS in the AFL and is continuing to catch the attention of teammates, scouts and casual observers alike.

Matt Wallner, OF, Twins—After being limited to 66 games during the regular season by a wrist sprain, Wallner is making up for lost time in the AFL. Wallner went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Scottsdale’s loss to Surprise. The blast was Wallner’s sixth homer of the fall, putting him in a tie for third place for most homers in the league. Overall, the 23-year-old outfielder is batting .302 with a 1.019 OPS for the Scorpions.

Jose Tena, SS/2B, Guardians – Tena continues to swing a hot bat for Scottsdale. The rising Guardians prospect went 2-for-3 with a double and a triple in Tuesday’s loss to Surprise. He is now batting .407, which would lead the AFL if he had enough plate appearances to qualify.
