Carson Williams - Doing damage for Hot RodsWilliams has a .276/.373/.504 slash line with six home runs and eight steals in 33 games for High-A Bowling Green.
ImpactKnown for his plus power and plus defense at shortstop, Williams' one shortcoming is his propensity to strike out. He had a 32.1 percent strikeout rate at Single-A last year and has a 31 percent strikeout rate this season. However, the quality of his contact (33.8 Hard%, 9.2 Soft%) has been strong. Williams excels at getting the ball in the air (38.5 GB%) to the pull side (48.1 Pull%), and his defense should allow him to play regularly in the majors.

The Blue Jays haven't been good enough, the Rangers' lineup is full of surprises, and the NL Central is wide open. Here's what we learned ac...JUNE 1, 2023
Manuel Margot - Swipes seventh bagMargot went 1-for-2 with two walks, a run scored and a steal in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Cubs.
ImpactMargot is now 7-for-9 in stolen base attempts this season, matching his total in 89 games last year. He's also been swinging the bat better recently, batting .296 (8-for-27) with a .737 OPS over his last eight contests. The 28-year-old Margot has slid into a short-side platoon role with the emergences of Josh Lowe, Jose Siri and Luke Raley in a crowded Tampa Bay outfield. Margot is slashing .248/.327/.341 with two homers, 17 runs scored and 15 RBI through 147 plate appearances.

Colin Poche - Notches fourth winPoche (4-1) earned the win in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Cubs, allowing one hit over a scoreless inning.
ImpactIt was a nice bounce-back effort from Poche after he allowed two runs on three hits in his last outing Saturday. The 29-year-old left-hander finishes May with a 2.89 ERA over 9.1 innings, holding opponents scoreless in nine out of his 11 appearances. Poche now sports a 2.29 ERA through 19.2 innings this season with a 1.37 WHIP, 12:9 K:BB, one save and seven holds. He could be in line for more high-leverage work while Pete Fairbanks (hip) is sidelined.
