Detroit Tigers catching prospect Thayron Liranzo went 2-for-5 with a home run during their contest against Double-A Harrisburg on Friday evening. This performance extended his current hitting streak to an impressive seven games. During this stretch, the No. 88-ranked prospect in baseball on MLB.com has posted a .379/.438/.586 slash line with two home runs and a 5:3 K:BB. After spending the entire 2024 campaign at the High-A level, the backstop was given the green light ot open the 2025 season with Double-A. Through 57 games with Double-A, Liranzo has held a .236/.359/.418 slash line with 10 home runs. Last season at High-A, Liranzo held a similar .244/.378/.408 line. Fantasy managers should expect the 22-year-old to remain at Double-A during most of the second half.

Detroit Tigers catching prospect Thayron Liranzo went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored for Double-A Erie on Tuesday. It was the third straight game with a home run for the Tigers' fifth-ranked prospect, now with seven on the season. The switch-hitting backstop got off to a poor start this year, batting .178 (16-for-90) over his first 26 games, however, he's picked it up recently, hitting .323 (10-for-31) in his last eight. He's also cut down on his strikeout rate, posting a 22.2 percent rate in the last eight contests compared to a 35.1 percent rate in the first 26. Getting on base via the walk has always been in his profile, boasting a 16.4 percent walk rate throughout his minor league career. If the 21-year-old can put it all together for the rest of the season, he should reach Triple-A later this year and could be making his big league debut next year at some point. He's got big power and a keen eye, but needs work defensively, and with Dillon Dingler hitting well in the big leagues as well as fourth-ranked Tigers prospect Josue Briceno knocking the cover off of the ball, he could have some competition for playing time.
