Here's the latest news and buzz on the Mets' top prospects...

INF Luisangel Acuña, Triple-A Syracuse

After a bit of a slow start to June, Acuna has settled back into a nice groove, reaching base safely in each of his last 11 games and recording a hit in eight of those.

The speedy 22-year-old infielder is slashing .302/.362/.395 with two doubles, a triple, a homer, three stolen bases, six RBI, and four multi-hit games over that span.

He's slowly crept his way up to a .260 average with a .317 on-base percentage, 10 doubles, four triples, four homers, and a whopping 23 stolen bases while playing center, second, and shortstop on the season.

UTL Luke Ritter, Triple-A Syracuse

Ritter continues to absolutely mash down in Syracuse.

After homering twice on Friday night, the utility man went deep two more times on Sunday afternoon, giving him 16 on the season to go along with a .367 on-base percentage and a team-leading 50 RBI.

The 27-year-old continues to make an extremely strong case for a spot on the big league roster, crushing a whopping 43 homers over the past two seasons between Syracuse and Binghamton.

RHP Christian Scott, Triple-A Syracuse

It's looking like Scott will remain in Syracuse a bit longer before returning to the big league rotation, but the right-hander continues to mow his way through minor league lineups.

The 25-year-old threw just 3.2 innings in his outing this week due to his innings being managed, but he was very efficient, allowing just one run on five hits while walking one and striking out eight.

Scott now has a 2.91 ERA and 0.79 WHIP with 49 strikeouts in seven outings in Triple-A this season.

RHP Brandon Sproat, Double-A Binghamton

Sproat finally returned to the mound after 12 days off. He faced the Somerset Patriots and pitched relatively well in an abbreviated outing.

The 23-year-old righty threw 70 pitches (47 strikes) and allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out eight batters across just 3.2 innings of work.

Sproat, the organization's No. 12 prospect, has pitched to a terrific 0.84 ERA and 0.47 WHIP with 18 strikeouts over his first two outings in June.
