Boston Red Sox prospect Jhostynxon (pronounced Yos-TIN-son) Garcia is giving me headaches on Twitter after a good week for the prospect watch leads to constant questions about his pronunciation.

Red Sox Double-A (Portland)

Corey Rosier had a cup of coffee in Triple-A earlier this year, and maybe it's time to make that jump officially. The left-handed hitting outfielder is slashing .303/.359/.478 with 16 doubles, five triples, and six home runs in Double-A. He's driven in 31 runs, scored 43 more, and stolen 37 bases.

Nick Yorke broke out of a long homerless streak on Sunday. The right-handed hitting second baseman is slashing .269/.347/.442 with 14 doubles, five triples, and 10 home runs. He's driven in 43 runs, scored 51 more, and stolen six bases.

Blaze Jordan hasn't looked bad in Double-A. The right-handed hitting corner infielder is slashing .220/.259/.320 with two doubles and one home run. He's driven in six runs and scored three more. In 54 plate appearances, he has just six strikeouts.

Marcelo Mayer is slashing .200/.267/.375 with eight doubles, one triple, and six home runs in Double-A. The left-handed hitting shortstop has 20 RBI, 20 runs scored, and four steals. He's slumping a bit at the moment, and the strikeouts are racking up. However, he is already tied for career-highs in triples (2 between High-A and Double-A) and home runs (13). Mayer has also set a career-high with 54 RBI.

Nathan Hickey is slashing .280/.368/.528 with 15 doubles, one triple, and 15 home runs. The left-handed hitting catcher has driven in 42 runs, scored 41 more, and stolen three bases. Hickey continues to be one of the best bats in any lineup he's in.

Phillip Sikes is slashing .235/.315/.362 with 15 doubles, three triples, and six home runs. The left-handed hitting outfielder has driven in 32 runs, scored 52 more, and stolen 35 bases. Sikes is 8-for-17 over his last five games.

Alex Binelas has overcome a slow start to put together a strong season in Double-A. The left-handed hitting corner infielder is slashing .228/.283/.474 with 15 doubles, one triple, and 12 home runs. Binelas has driven in 37 runs, scored 31 more, and stolen six bases.

Chase Meidroth isn't replicating his success from High-A, but he's still having a strong showing in Double-A. Between the two levels, Meidroth is slashing .280/.413/.402 with 13 doubles, one triple, and six home runs. The right-handed hitting second baseman/third baseman has driven in 39 runs, scored 53 more, and stolen 11 bases.

Tyler Esplin only played in one game this week, but it was a monster performance. The left-handed hitting outfielder went 3-for-5 with two doubles and five RBI. Esplin is 3-for-8 in Double-A this season. Hopefully, he can stay healthy and get some playing time.

Tyler Dearden went 6-for-16 with seven walks this week. The right-handed hitting outfielder is slashing .245/.341/.346 with five doubles, one triple, and three home runs this season. Dearden has driven in 16 runs and scored 19 more.

Wikelam Gonzalez had another strong start this week. The right-handed pitcher went five innings, allowing two runs on two hits. He walked four batters and struck out four as well. Gonzalez has surrendered just three runs on six hits over 17 innings in Double-A. He's struck out 23 batters and walked nine.

Grant Gambrell twirled a gem this week. The righty tossed seven shutout innings, allowed just three hits and one walk while striking out eight batters. Gambrell has a 3.12 ERA, .223 BAA, and 1.15 WHIP in Double-A. He's struck out 72 batters compared to 23 walks in 69 1/3 innings.

Robert Kwiatkowski has tossed three shutout innings in each of his last two outings. The right-handed reliever has a 3.78 ERA, .179 BAA, and 0.90 WHIP in Double-A. He's struck out 12 batters and walked five in 16 2/3 innings.

Dylan Spacke recorded 3 1/3 shutout and hitless innings across two outings this week. The right-handed reliever has a 2.84 ERA, .226 BAA, and 1.33 WHIP in 44 1/3 innings. He's struck out 33 batters compared to 24 walks.
