UPDATE ON JUNE 27: The Brewers are reportedly on the brink of promoting Keston Hiura tomorrow. If Hiura's promotion comes to fruition on June 28, he stands to finish the year with 115 days of service time.
Incidentally, 115 days is also the number of days that Josh Hader accrued with the Brewers during 2017, his rookie season. Hader will likely fall just short of Super Two status this season.
Now that June has arrived and the Super Two threshold has passed, a few top prospects have become "ready" to make it to the big leagues.
Here is a look at the top prospects who have been deemed ready since June 3:
Called up June 9(114 days of service time remaining)
Jordan Alvarez, DH, Houston- #3 Astros prospect
Called up June 8(115 days of service time remaining)
Colin Poche, P, Tampa Bay- #17 Rays prospect
Called up June 6(117 days of service time remaining)
Peter Lambert, P, Colorado- #4 Rockies prospect
Called up June 4(119 days of service time remaining)
Adam Hasely, OF, Philadelphia- #3 Phillies prospect
SPECIAL CASE: Demoted on June 3- after being promoted on May 14
Keston Hiura, IF, Milwaukee- #1 Brewers prospect
Hiura was promoted by Milwaukee in May when Travis Shaw was injured. After Hiura's more-than-respectable 20 days with the Brewers, Shaw was ready to return and Hiura was sent back down to AAA.
The result of this sequence of events is that Hiura won't be clear of the Super Two window until the end of June.
