    Three Los Angeles Dodgers prospects have made their mark on Baseball America's updated top-100 list . Shortstop Alex Freeland ranks 67th, outfielder Josue de Paula is at 35th, and catcher Dalton Rushing has climbed to 27th. This is a significant rise for all three, especially since De Paula was previously ranked 42nd, Rushing 43rd, and Freeland was not listed at all in May.

    Rushing stands out as the highest-rated Dodgers prospect on the list. The 23-year-old has made impressive strides in the minor leagues this season, starting in Double-A before moving up to Triple-A. He faced challenges in Double-A but has thrived in Triple-A, posting a batting line of .308/.439/.551 with five hits and 15 RBIs in just 22 games, a notable improvement from his .270 average in Double-A.

    De Paula, only 19, has also progressed well this season. After beginning the year in Single-A, he has moved up to High-A, where he has a .239/.413/.340 line with four home runs and 18 RBIs over 47 games, following a strong showing in Single-A where he hit .279 with six home runs and 41 RBIs.

    Freeland's ascent has been rapid. He started the year in High-A, hitting .346 with two home runs and 21 RBIs in 23 games before being promoted to Double-A. In 74 games with the Tulsa Drillers, he has a .245/.370/.422 line with 11 home runs and 35 RBIs, and he is currently playing in Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he has hit .217 with two home runs and six RBIs in 22 games.

    The Dodgers' farm system continues to show promise with these rising talents, setting the stage for a bright future.
