Outfielder Josue De Paula is now 18th, up from 21st in January .

River Ryan made the largest jump, now ranked 49th after No. 125 in the offseason, due to the fact that he’s now healthy after missing all of last season after Tommy John surgery, and is also back from a four-week stint on the Triple-A injured list with a hamstring strain . Also updating their prospect rankings in the last few weeks were Baseball America and MLB Pipeline , with new top 100s for both.
