45-Day Cutoff Arrives, Prospect Call-Ups Expected This Weekend
The CBA's Prospect Promotion Incentive creates a mid-August window for teams to debut top prospects while preserving rookie eligibility for the following season.
Today marks the 45-day cutoff date under the 2022 CBA's Prospect Promotion Incentive, meaning teams can now call up top prospects and keep them rookie eligible for next year. Players promoted with 45 or fewer days left in the regular season are unlikely to exhaust the at-bat or innings thresholds that would burn eligibility. Several teams with top-100 prospects in the minors may announce promotions as soon as this weekend. The Tigers already bypassed the cutoff by promoting Max Clark earlier, prioritizing their playoff push over a potential 2028 draft pick.
