Double A - Jacksonville
Who's Hot - RHP James McDonald recorded his 6th win in 7 Double A starts by going 6 innings, allowing 2 runs and striking out 9.

Who's Not - 3B Blake DeWitt was just 3 for 14 with a triple and he missed the last 2 games.

LHP Clayton Kershaw allowed 4 ER and 4 walks in 4 innings in his second Double A start.
Who to Watch - OF Xavier Paul returned from a leg injury and went 5 for 8 with a pair of dingers. The 22 year old has put up respectable numbers in the pitcher-friendly Southern League and could reach the bigs sometime next year.
High A - Inland Empire

After being promoted, he's struggled through his first 10 games with a .179 average and just 1 HR. Still, he's the Dodgers' best power prospect outside of Andy LaRoche and should return to High A to begin next season.
