were active ahead of the trade deadline, many knew there would be plenty of roster moves coming to incorporate their additions onto the team.If he is able to prove his time with the Triple-A affiliate following his first demotion helped him become a more prepared hitter at this level, then there's a good chance the superstar prospect will be with the team for the remainder of the year.
The first being star prospect Heston Kjerstad's demotion to Triple-A after his second stint in the Majors this season saw him hit .291 with three homers and 12 RBI across his 21 games and 55 at-bats.

Akin has been solid in his relief role, turning his season around after a disastrous month of May to post a 1.56 ERA in June and 3.21 during July.
