Brock Stewart’s scoreless inning for Oklahoma City and Jake Gelof’s double home run performance highlight key developments in the Dodgers’ minor league system as of April 2026. Brock Stewart pitched a scoreless sixth inning for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday night, marking his second appearance for the Comets and fourth minor league rehab outing overall. The right-handed pitcher recorded two strikeouts and induced four swinging strikes on 15 pitches. Stewart has alternated between two and three days of rest during his rehab assignment, having pitched on Tuesday and Friday the previous week with Class-A Ontario before joining Oklahoma City. His consistent workload suggests he may be nearing a return to the Dodgers’ bullpen, potentially pitching in back-to-back games during his rehab stint. Meanwhile, Jake Gelof delivered a standout performance for Double-A Tulsa, homering twice in a game against the Springfield Cardinals at Hammons Field on April 9, 2026. The 24-year-old third baseman, drafted in the second round by the Dodgers in 2023 from the University of Virginia, has shown early power in Double-A despite a slow start to the season. Gelof entered the game with only eight hits in 42 at-bats (.190 average), but four of those hits over his last 24 at-bats were home runs, including a double. His isolated power in Double-A stands at .310 and with 12 walks, he is posting a .370 on-base percentage and .500 slugging percentage. Gelof previously hit 16 home runs with a .230 isolated power and 116 wRC+ in High-A Great Lakes during the 2025 season. The Tulsa Drillers were attempting to overcome an early deficit in their loss to the Springfield Cardinals, with Gelof’s offensive surge providing a bright spot. His performance reflects ongoing development as he adjusts to the higher level of competition in Double-A. These performances underscore the progress of two Dodgers prospects within the organization’s player development pipeline, with Stewart advancing toward major league readiness and Gelof demonstrating emerging power potential at the Double-A level.
