The Nationals are expected to call up Willingham from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports. A 26-man roster spot opened up Saturday when Washington traded reliever Hunter Harvey to Kansas City in exchange for a minor-league infielder, and Willingham looks set to fill the vacancy in the bullpen. Although Harvey worked as a setup man, Willingham isn't likely to handle high-leverage work considering that he's logged a 4.54 ERA across 39.2 innings for Rochester this season.

ARLINGTON -- The 2024 Home Run Derby is complete and the winner is Teoscar Hernandez of the Dodgers. That's fun. He wasn't really on anyone's radar for the event several weeks ago and is a legit slugger, having hit 19 homers so far this season and sitting with a career high of 32.

The Diamondbacks selected Eagen with the 102nd overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. Eagen had a slow start to his collegiate career but returned from elbow and shoulder issues to be the Big South Conference Pitcher of the Year with Presbyterian in 2024. The key to his success was a jump in velocity, and his fastball now sits at 93 or 94 mph. Eagen's best offering is his curveball, and he also finds the strike zone consistently, giving him a safe floor as a reliever even if he can't stick in a pro rotation.

Ruiz (wrist) played seven innings in left field during Single-A Stockton's loss to Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday, going 2-for-3 with an RBI sacrifice fly. Ruiz had gotten Saturday off after playing a full game at DH on Friday, but he encouragingly put in another robust workload on defense Sunday. Ruiz's mastery over Single-A arms continued as well, as he hit safely for the fourth time in as many rehab games. It's certainly possible Ruiz may be deemed ready for activation coming out of the All-Star break despite not having made any appearances at a higher-level affiliate during his assignment.

The Tigers have selected Randall with the 85th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. A high school catcher, Randall converting to pitching at the University of Arizona before transferring to San Diego, where he emerged at the Friday night starter. The right-hander can pound the strike zone with a heavy sinker and above-average slider, and while his profile does suggest a future as a high-leverage reliever, Detroit will likely give him every chance to develop as a starter.

The Pirates have selected Griffin with the ninth overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. Griffin, the consensus top prep position player in this year's class, has four loud tools, while his hit tool is more of a question mark. A 6-foot-4, 215-pound righty hitter who plays a good shortstop and an even better center field, Griffin has 70-grade speed, a 70-grade arm and plus power that could tick up even more at his physical peak. He turned 18 in April, so he's on the younger side, and most sluggers who are as tall and as young as Griffin come with some hit tool risk. Projecting prep hit tools is one of the toughest tasks for amateur scouts, so there's not going to be much clarity on whether that's a clear weakness or a non-issue until the Mississippi high schooler gets to full-season ball. He has a very high ceiling as a 30/30 candidate whose defensive utility should keep him in the lineup every day.

The Phillies have selected Spikerman with the 100th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. Few prospects in the 2024 class bring as much speed to the table as Spikerman, who was a pest on the basepaths during his collegiate career at Oklahoma while also displaying plenty of range in center field. The switch hitter showed improvement with his contact rate this spring, but he likely has too much swing and miss in his game to profile as a top-of-the-order bat.

The Twins designated Boushley for assignment Sunday. Boushley will cede his spot on the 40-man roster to infielder Diego Castillo, whose contract was selected from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants. Aside from making a two-inning relief appearance for the Twins on May 20, Boushley has spent the entire 2024 campaign at St. Paul, with whom he's produced a 4.68 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 73:14 K:BB in 84.2 innings. If he goes unclaimed via waivers, Boushley should remain a member of the St. Paul rotation moving forward.

The Guardians selected Oakie with the 84th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. A prep right-hander out of Iowa, Oakie didn't face high-level competition even by the standard of high-school pitchers, but he impressed the Guardians enough with his makeup and his mid-80s slider -- which already grades out as a plus pitch -- to come off the board in the third round. In addition to the slider, Oakie mixes in a fastball that sits around 92-to-94 miles per hour, but his arsenal is shallow beyond those two offerings. Though he has a slender build at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, Oakie has a quick, low-effort delivery that could allow him to stay on a starter's development track during his professional career.
