Prospect

In a move that will excite St. Louis Cardinals fans and fantasy baseball enthusiasts alike, top prospect Jordan Walker has returned to the team’s lineup after taking a routine rest day on Tuesday. The highly touted outfielder is back in the Cardinals’ starting nine, patrolling right field and batting eighth against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. Walker’s return to action comes as a relief for those monitoring his progress, as the 20-year-old phenom has been turning heads with his impressive performance since making his major league debut earlier this season.

The UFC flyweight division is about to serve up a tantalizing clash of youth versus experience. Promotion officials announced Friday that fast-rising prospect Steve Erceg will challenge reigning 125-pound champion Alexandre Pantoja for the title in the main event of UFC 301 on May 4th in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. For the 26-year-old Erceg, it will be an opportunity to claim UFC gold in just his fourth fight with the organization.
