Renato Nunez has busted out of his slump in Triple-A Nashville

Renato Nunez entered the 2016 season as one of the top players in the Oakland A's minor league system and one of the closest to the majors. He was No. 6 on our preseason Community Prospect List, he opened the year at Triple-A, and he was already on the 40-man roster. Add all of that up, and he seemed on the cusp of getting his shot in MLB and was theoretically just a plane ride away from Oakland if he played well enough to get that call. His journey since then has not been perfectly smooth, but after a long slump he is back on track.
