Termarr Johnson Promoted to Double-A Altoona

The St. Louis Cardinals have promoted pitching prospect Quinn Mathews to Triple-A Memphis, where he aims to bolster the team's rotation for 2025. The 23-year-old left-hander has had an impressive season across multiple levels, boasting an 8-3 record with a 2.27 ERA and 180 strikeouts. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh Pirates' No. 3 prospect Termarr Johnson has been elevated to Double-A Altoona after a successful stint in High-A Greensboro, where he recorded a .372 on-base percentage and was a key contributor to his team's success. Johnson, drafted fourth overall in 2022, has shown consistent offensive capabilities and could make his MLB debut as early as 2025. Additionally, Braves pitcher JR Ritchie, returning from Tommy John surgery, has been promoted to High-A Rome following a strong performance in Augusta, underscoring his potential as a top prospect for Atlanta. Ritchie's recent outings have shown impressive command and effectiveness, marking a successful return to form after his injury.
