The Los Angeles Dodgers are promoting top prospect Josue De Paula to the big-league club, sources told ESPN's Alden Gonzalez.

De Paula is considered the No. 6 prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline.

The 21-year-old outfielder is expected to join the Dodgers on Friday ahead of their series against the Miami Marlins.

De Paula owns a .302/.400/.539 slash line with 26 home runs, 36 doubles, 101 RBIs, and 31 steals in 123 games at Double-A Tulsa this season. He's played both left and right field in the minors during the 2026 campaign.

The Dodgers signed De Paula out of the Dominican Republic for $397,500 in 2022.
