Quick Hits: Howard, Prospects, McCarthy, Rodriguez

The Phillies are likely to activate Ryan Howard in time for tomorrow's game according to multiple reports. Howard has yet to play this season after injuring his Achilles on the final play of last year's NLDS. As Philadelphia awaits the return of its slugging first baseman, here are some links from around the league...

• Right-hander Dylan Bundy of the Orioles tops Baseball America's updated list of the game's 50 best prospects. Shortstop Jurickson Profar of the Rangers and outfielder Wil Myers of the Royals round out the top three.
• "It's something I'm not at all opposed to," said Brandon McCarthy to Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle when asked about the possibility of signing a long-term deal with the Athletics. "But it's got to be something that makes sense for both sides."
• The Dodgers have signed second round pick Paco Rodriguez for a straight slot $611K bonus, reports Jim Callis of Baseball America (on Twitter). He says the left-hander out of Florida eats hitters up with his cut-fastball.
