The Dodgers promoted Hope from High-A Great Lakes to Double-A Tulsa on Monday, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.
Hope will be joined in Tulsa by one of the Dodgers' other top prospects in outfielder Josue De Paula, who will also get bumped up from High-A. Over 524 plate appearances this season with Great Lakes, the 20-year-old Hope slashed .264/.377/.428 with 13 home runs, 26 stolen bases, a 14.9 percent walk rate and a 26.5 percent strikeout rate.

Dodgers' Zyhir Hope: Strong start at High-A
Rotowire
Hope is slashing .272/.359/.485 with four home runs, four steals and a 25.4 percent strikeout rate in 27 games for High-A Great Lakes.
As the weather heats up in the Midwest League and he gets more acclimated to High-A pitching, Hope's numbers could tick up even further, but it's been a great start to the year for the Dodgers' top prospect. Hope produced at a similar pace last year at Single-A (.287 average, nine homers, eight steals) but was limited to 54 games due to a shoulder injury.
Hope was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Dodgers on Sunday.
Hope went 4-for-19 with a home run, three RBI, a run scored and a walk while striking out six times over 10 games during spring training. The 20-year-old has yet to play at a level higher than Single-A, and he'll look to continue his ascent through the minors with the Dodgers organization in 2025.

Dodgers' Zyhir Hope: Impressing early in camp
Rotowire
Hope went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's Cactus League loss to Kansas City.
Hope belted a solo shot to the opposite field in the sixth inning. The power display came two days after the 19-year-old made a pair of impressive catches in the outfield in the Dodgers' spring opener. Hope isn't a candidate to break camp with the big club, but he's among the team's top prospects after posting a .905 OPS with nine home runs and eight stolen bases over 54 games at the Single-A level last season.

Dodgers' Zyhir Hope: Attending first big-league ST
Rotowire
The Dodgers invited Hope to big-league spring training, Eric Stephen of SB Nation reports.
Hope was recently picked by MLB executives as the 2025 breakout prospect of the year in a poll by MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo, so it's not just dynasty managers who are excited about Hope on the heels of a breakout Arizona Fall League showing in 2024. He has a rare combination of strength and athleticism packed into a 5-foot-10 frame and showed an advanced command of the strike zone at Single-A as a 19-year-old, where he got on base at a .419 clip. Hope seems poised to climb multiple levels of the minors this year and may even be assigned to Double-A, bypassing High-A altogether, but a 2025 MLB debut seems highly unlikely given how much talent is ahead of him in the organization.
Single-A Rancho Cucamonga reinstated Hope (shoulder) from the 7-day injured list Friday. He's gone 5-for-12 with a home run, a walk, a stolen base, five RBI and three runs in three games since returning to action.
Hope had been on the shelf since April 30 with a shoulder injury. The 19-year-old outfielder received the green light to rejoin Rancho Cucamonga last weekend after he completed a seven-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, during which he slashed .316/.458/.421.

Dodgers' Zyhir Hope: Placed on injured list
Rotowire
Hope was placed on the 7-day injured list at Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday with a shoulder injury, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Hope hurt his shoulder in the Quakes' 7-4 win Sunday over Lake Elsinore, though hopefully the injury will only keep him out for a week. The 19-year-old prospect has enjoyed a solid start to his second minor-league season, slashing .282/.378/.521 and logging 13 RBI and three home runs.
