Los Angeles Angels outfield prospect Nelson Rada went 3-for-5 with a double and a home run during their contest against Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday evening. This was his first three-hit game since earning a promotion to Triple-A. During his first three games at Triple-A, Rada tallied at least one hit in all of them, but did not hit one for extra bases. He has also swiped four bags throughout these four total games. The 19-year-old opened the campaign with Double-A and needed just 93 games to prove he was ready to join the top ranks in the minor leagues. Through 93 games at Double-A Rocket City, Rada posted a .277/.380/.332 line with a .712 OPS. Given Los Angeles' aggressiveness when it comes to promoting prospects, the 19-year-old has an outside chance to open the 2026 season with the Angels.

Los Angeles Angels outfield prospect Nelson Rada was promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake on August 2, and since then, he's recorded a hit in each of the three games he's played. The Angels' sixth-ranked prospect is 3-for-12 (.250) with three RBI, three runs scored, a 1:2 BB:K, and three stolen bases. It is much like what he had put on display at Double-A, where he hit .277 with 34 steals over 93 games for Double-A Rocket City. The 5-foot-9 Venezuelan doesn't offer much power, though, as he's tallied just five home runs in 1371 career at-bats in the minors. Nevertheless, at 19 years old, he's the youngest player at Triple-A, which should give you an idea of how talented he is, although the lack of power somewhat diminishes his potential fantasy value. The left-handed hitter could debut in the big leagues next year, and his defense will help get him there.

Los Angeles Angels outfield prospect Nelson Rada went 2-for-5 with a double and a stolen base during their contest against Double-A Knoxville on Thursday evening. This was Rada's first multi-hit game since June 24. This was also his first stolen base since June 21. After spending the entire 2024 campaign at the Double-A level, the Angels opted to have their No. 6-ranked prospect remain with Double-A Rocket City through the first half of the campaign. Through 75 games this season, Rada has been quite effective, posting a .281/.383/.335 line with 11 doubles, one home run, and 29 stolen bases. Last summer, he held a much lower .234/.331/.269 line through 123 games with Double-A. Given his production this season, Rada should be in the mix to join Triple-A in the second half.
