Seattle Mariners catcher Harry Ford will be joining the Mariners in Texas on Friday after catcher Mitch Garver took a foul tip off the jaw in Thursday's game, reports Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Ford was initially scheduled to play a game in Triple-A on Thursday but was scratched from the lineup so he could make the trip. This doesn't mean that Ford is definitely being promoted, as the plan is to add him to the taxi squad so he's ready to step in if Garver needs to be placed on the injured list. Expect official word sometime on Friday after Garver's medical scan results are available. Ford has been very productive in the minors so far this season, slashing .311/.426/.469 with eight home runs in 60 games. The top prospect could be relevant in two-catcher leagues if he gets enough playing time.

Seattle Mariners catcher prospect Harry Ford went 2-for-2 with three RBI and two walks in Wednesday's 13-4 loss against Triple-A Round Rock. Ford provided nearly all of the offense for his team in this game, and continued his strong month of June. He's hitting .282/.402/.437 with a 12:14 BB:K in 71-at bats. The power output will be around average, but he has also produced a healthy number of steals throughout his time in the minor leagues which not many catchers can say. He is blocked at catcher by baseball's home run leader in Cal Raleigh, but could come up and make starts at catcher, first base, or DH later in the season.

Seattle Mariners catcher prospect Harry Ford went 2-for-5 with a home run, double, and six RBI in Wednesday's 10-0 win against Triple-A Sacramento. Ford stuffed the box score and posted a career high in RBI. The 22-year-old has displayed a mature approach at the plate this season, with a 36:38 BB:K. His quality of contact has been promising as well, with a 45.6 percent hard-hit rate. Ford is ranked as the number 63 overall prospect in baseball on MLB.com. There's a decent chance we see Ford make his MLB debut at some point this season, with him seeing plenty of reps at DH. His combination of skills would make for a solid speculative add in most formats.

Seattle Mariners catching prospect Harry Ford has continued to produce at Triple-A. On Thursday, the backstop extended his current hitting streak to six games. During this impressive stretch, Ford has posted five multi-hit games with three home runs and 10 RBI. He has gone deep in each of his past two contests as well. Through his first 39 games at the Triple-A level, the No. 67-ranked prospect in baseball has posted a stellar .315/.431/.483 line with seven doubles, six long balls, and a 33:30 K:BB. Last summer, Ford struggled at Double-A as he held a modest .249/.377/.367 line with just seven round-trippers across 116 contests. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on Ford's development as he could be in the mix to reach the majors during the second half of the season.

Seattle Mariners catching prospect Harry Ford went 3-for-6 with a home run during their contest on Wednesday evening against Triple-A Salt Lake. This was Ford's seventh home run of the Triple-A regular season. The backstop has enjoyed an impressive month and has yet to slow down. Over his last 15 contests, Ford has posted an incredible .443/.514/.705 slash line with four doubles, four home runs, 16 RBI, and a stellar 9:9 K:BB. During his first 23 games of the season, Ford held a modest .217/.377/.289 slash line with just one long ball. Last summer, Ford struggled at Double-A as he held a .249/.377/.367. However, it is a great sign to see Ford take a significant step forward in his development, especially when facing tougher competition. If Ford continues to perform well, he should make his MLB debut in the second half of the campaign.

Seattle Mariners catching prospect Harry Ford went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored on Tuesday for Triple-A Tacoma. The 2021 first-round draft pick came into May hitting .209 (14-for-67) with two extra-base hits (one 2B, one HR), but has caught fire this month, collecting 11 multi-hit performances in 18 games and hitting .394 (28-for-71) with nine extra-base hits (six 2B, three HR). Seattle's fifth-ranked prospect has been a model of consistency at a grueling position, playing in at least 104 games in each of the last three seasons as he has methodically climbed the minor league ladder. In his first season at Triple-A, he's slashing .304/.429/.442 with four home runs and three stolen bases. The 22-year-old stole 35 bags in 2024, which is an attractive quality in a future fantasy catcher, and with a good shot to debut in 2025, those skills could be put on display later in the year, so he could become a top prospect stash soon.

Seattle Mariners catching prospect Harry Ford went 4-for-4 at the plate with a double, a home run, and three RBI during their contest on Tuesday against Triple-A Albuquerque. This was Ford's fourth-straight game tallying multiple hits in a game and fifth-straight game tallying at least one hit. Through his first 27 games at Triple-A, the 22-year-old backstop has looked quite comfortable, holding a .292/.434/.417 slash line with six doubles, two home runs, two stolen bases, and an impressive 24:24 K:BB. Last season, the No. 67-ranked prospect in the sport spent his entire season at Double-A, and held a modest .249/.377/.367 line. However, it appears Ford has taken the next step at Triple-A and is quickly approaching his MLB debut. Given his progress, he should be in the mix to join Seattle in the second half of the season.

Seattle Mariners catching prospect Harry Ford had a productive evening at the plate on Wednesday as he went 1-for-2 with two walks. He tallied an RBI single in the second frame, crossed home plate three times, and even swiped a bag. Throughout his first three contests at the top level of the minor leagues, the 22-year-old backstop has held a .333/.538/.333 line. He has tallied at least one hit in each contest and has held a strong 4:1 BB:K. Last season, Ford had some growing pains at Double-A as he posted a modest .249/.377/.367 slash line across 116 contests. He tallied 26 doubles, seven long balls, and swiped 35 bags. This was a sharp decline from the .257/.410/.430 line he held during the 2023 season at High-A. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Ford's progression as he could be in the mix for a second-half MLB debut if he continues to produce with the Tacoma Rainiers.
