Caldwell was added to the All-Star Futures Game roster Monday, Connor Emery of Arizona Sports reports.
Caldwell cruised through Single-A Visalia for the first two months of the season before gaining a promotion to High-A Hillsboro. The 19-year-old is the youngest player in the Northwest League. Caldwell owns a .267/.437/.463 line with 22 RBI and 19 steals combined at the two levels.

Alek Thomas CF | LAD
Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Collects three hits Monday
Thomas went 3-for-3 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's 4-2 win over the Giants.
Thomas was the only Diamondback with a multi-hit effort in this game. The outfielder had gone 15 contests without such a performance, batting a paltry .109 (5-for-46) in that span. Despite his struggles at the plate, Thomas continues to hold down a starting role in center field. He's up to a .249/.294/.367 slash line with four home runs, five stolen bases, 22 RBI, 27 runs scored, 10 doubles and two triples over 74 contests this season.

Lourdes Gurriel LF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Smacks 11th homer
Gurriel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 win over the Giants.
Gurriel has gone eight games without a multi-hit effort. His homer Monday ended a 15-game stretch without a long ball, during which he batted just .217 with four RBI and three stolen bases. The outfielder has maintained a steady role in left field and is at a .250/.296/.414 slash line with 11 homers, 42 RBI, 27 runs scored and seven steals across 78 contests this season.

Nick Castellanos RF | SD
Phillies' Nick Castellanos: Cracks 10th homer
Castellanos went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk in Monday's 4-0 victory over the Padres.
The Philadelphia outfielder extended his team's lead to 4-0 when he hit a 372-foot solo shot off San Diego starter Matt Waldron in the fifth. This marks Castellanos' 12th consecutive season with double-digit homers, with the only season he didn't reach the plateau being his 11-game cup of coffee in 2013. Through 345 total plate appearances, the 33-year-old is slashing .282/.325/.451 with 45 RBI and 38 runs scored across 84 games.

Mike Yastrzemski LF | ATL
Giants' Mike Yastrzemski: Getting breather Monday
Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Arizona.
Yastrzemski will break a streak of 13 consecutive starts Monday, ceding his spot in right field to Daniel Johnson. In his last 18 games, Yastrzemski is slashing .290/.375/.452 with a pair of home runs.

Corbin Carroll RF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Starting to swing
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that Carroll (wrist) will begin taking dry swings Tuesday, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.
Carroll is recovering from a chip fracture in his left wrist but is progressing well and will swing for the first time since being placed on the injured list last Tuesday. The outfielder won't be hitting baseballs Tuesday, but it's still a notable step in his recovery program. Carroll is aiming to return to action before the All-Star break, but the ultimate decision will be left up to the Diamondbacks.

Yanquiel Fernandez RF | NYY
Rockies' Yanquiel Fernandez: Slated for call-up
The Rockies are expected to recall Fernandez from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of Tuesday's game against the Astros, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Fernandez, 22, has slashed .284/.347/.502 with 13 home runs in 271 plate appearances with Albuquerque this season, and he'll now be rewarded with his first call-up to the big leagues. He's served exclusively as a right fielder and designated hitter in the minors this season, and he could find it difficult to earn steady playing time at either of those spots with both Mickey Moniak and Tyler Freeman thriving of late. Fernandez bats from the left side, so he won't profile as a potential platoon mate for the left-handed-hitting Moniak, who often sits against left-handed pitching.

Charlie Condon RF | COL
Rockies' Charlie Condon: Climbs to Double-A
The Rockies will promote Condon from High-A Spokane to Double-A Hartford on Tuesday, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.
The No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Condon got off to a delayed start to the 2025 season after fracturing his wrist in spring training, but he's quickly found his hitting stroke upon reporting to Spokane on May 20. Over his 167 plate appearances in the Northwest League, Condon slashed .312/.431/.420 with three home runs while striking out at a manageable 21 percent clip. The 22-year-old -- who was named to the 2025 All-Star Futures Game roster Monday -- saw acton at three different positions with Spokane, making 23 starts at first base, eight in left field and two at third base. He'll likely continue to get exposure to both the corner infield and corner outfield as he moves on to Hartford.

Lars Nootbaar LF | ARI
Cardinals' Lars Nootbaar: Likely out until Tuesday
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Nootbaar will likely remain out of the lineup until at least Tuesday while the outfielder manages a left intercostal injury, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Nootbaar has been in and out of the lineup over the past week due to the injury, which he appeared to aggravate during a check swing in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Guardians. The left-handed-hitting outfielder sat out Sunday's 7-0 victory while Cleveland sent lefty Logan Allen to the bump, and it makes sense for the Cardinals to hold him out again Monday versus the Pirates while southpaw Andrew Heaney takes the hill for Pittsburgh. While the Cardinals seem hopeful that Nootbaar will be ready to go Tuesday, a stint on the 10-day injured list can't be ruled out, given the nature of the injury.
