The Los Angeles Dodgers had three Minor Leaguers honored for the month of July in Michael Busch and Mike Montgomery for Triple-A Oklahoma City, and Kendall Williams for the High-A Great Lakes Loons.

Busch is the Dodgers’ No. 2 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, and he ranks No. 32 in all of baseball. He was named the Pacific Coast League (PCL) Player of the Month for July.

Despite his dominant performance this year at Triple-A, Busch has been blocked on the Major League roster. The 25-year-old did make his MLB debut earlier in the season, but has seen limited opportunities with the Dodgers.

Montgomery is a veteran of six MLB seasons and signed a Minor League contract with the Dodgers in early June. His performance over the last month earned him PCL Pitcher of the Month honors for OKC.

The 34-year-old from Mission Hills, California, is most well-known for recording the final out of the 2016 World Series with the Chicago Cubs, but with the Dodgers he seems destined to remain as organizational depth.

Williams, who was acquired by the Dodgers from the Toronto Blue Jays in 2020 for Ross Stripling, is finally having his first taste of real success with the Loons. The 22-year-old had his best month on the mound in July, which earned him the Midwest League Pitcher of the Month award.
