Boston Red Sox Prospect Update: Greenville no-hitter, Mikey Romero, Phillip Sikes

The Boston Red Sox's trade deadline moves led to several prospects being moved. In turn, there was a wave of promotions throughout the minor leagues.

Longtime Red Sox prospect Nick Sogard got to make the MLB debut that he has deserved for a while. The switch-hitter went 1-for-4 with a walk and two RBI in his first game. There was no shortage of action and storylines in the minor leagues, either.

Chase Meidroth went 4-for-17 this week but drew six walks compared to just one strikeout. The right-handed hitting infielder has a .296/.442/.402 slash line with 18 doubles and six home runs. He's driven in 44 runs, scored 72 more, and stolen 11 bases. Meidroth has 81 walks compared to 45 strikeouts this season.

Nathan Hickey has looked great following the trade deadline. The left-handed hitting first baseman/catcher is on a six-game hitting streak. Hickey's slash line has gone from .205/.330/.366 to .213/.341/.387 in those six games. He's driven in 48 runs, scored 51, and stolen four bases.

Mickey Gasper is slashing .373/.497/.619 with 11 doubles and six home runs in 35 Triple-A games. Gasper started the season as a depth Double-A guy, and now he has a 1.116 OPS in Triple-A. The switch-hitting catcher/first baseman has 26 walks compared to 12 strikeouts in 149 plate appearances with Worcester.

Richard Fitts had his best start in over a month. He allowed five hits over six one-run innings. Fitts didn't walk anyone and struck out seven batters. The right-handed pitcher has a 4.67 ERA in 88 2/3 innings this season. His biggest issue has been missing bats, but Fitts did a great job of that this week.
