Astros be like:

Martian's AA stats aren't particularly great at first glance, but he hit .333/.401/.494 from July 1st to August 20th prior to his AAA promotion.

He's been scorching the last month and change, but I'm still really surprised they're calling him up.

Gotta give the fans a reason to show up in September I guess.

Youngest player to make their Yankee debut since Jose Rijo way back in '84

It's an aggressive callup, but I don't think it's unreasonable. AAA is more of a test for pitchers than hitters as a lot of players in AAA are journeymen/borderline major leaguers and some prospects that are just waiting for a position to open at the major league level. The jump from High A to AA is considered a bigger jump for hitting prospects. It's not that uncommon to see top prospects only get a small taste of AAA before getting promoted or just skipping it altogether.

Donaldson gone

Wonder if a contender takes a flier on him against lefties

Brewers signed him to a minor league deal, correct?

You were early on Dellin Betances! I’ll give you that one. He was nasty.

At the end of the day, we are all guilty of overhyping our own prospects. It’s part of the process.

I tried to get him for my softball league. I guess he liked the Brewers’ offer better.

O's promoted Holliday to AAA. Hit .326/.413/.500 with 21:34 BB:K in 160 PA there. He's only 19 and started the season in A ball.
