Philadelphia Phillies prospect Johan Rojas continued his hot start at the Double-A level in the latest week of the minor-league season.
The 21-year-old outfielder is batting .342 since joining the Reading Fightin Phils on June 30 and hit his first home run with the team on Saturday.
Reading is now 36-45; the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs are tied for first place in the East division of the International League at 45-39; the High-A Jersey Shore BlueClaws are 27-53; the Low-A Clearwater Threshers are 40-40.
Rojas adjusting to Reading
Despite a shaky beginning to the season for the BlueClaws, the Phillies promoted Rojas to Double-A at the end of June, and the speedy right-handed hitter has taken full advantage so far.
