Johnson was promoted to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He hit .253/.337/.534 with 10 home runs and six steals in 39 games at Double-A. Johnson's bat had really heated up of late, as he popped seven homers over his last 14 games. He was the primary piece the Indians received from the Nationals for Yan Gomes this past offseason, and is now one step away from the majors. Johnson is a plus runner with above-average power, and should be rostered in most dynasty leagues.

The Indians reassigned Johnson to minor-league camp Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson received an invite to spring training as a non-roster invitee and showcased himself well with a 1.005 OPS over 27 at-bats, but was always facing long odds to make the Opening Day roster. The 23-year-old spent last season at Double-A but seems likely to spend the bulk of the 2019 at Triple-A.

Johnson was extended a non-roster invitation to Indians' spring training Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was acquired by the Indians in November from the Nationals for Yan Gomes, and will now have a chance to showcase himself at major-league camp. The 23-year-old is likely destined to spend most of 2019 at Triple-A, but a strong showing would make quite the impression for the young outfielder.

Johnson is on the 7-day disabled list at Double-A Harrisburg with an undisclosed injury.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder, who is hitting .286/.354/.408 with 18 extra-base hits and 16 steals in 52 games this season, hasn't appeared in any contests since June 5. In order to address the void in the lineup left by Johnson's absence, the Nationals recalled one of their top hitting prospects, shortstop Carter Kieboom, from High-A Potomac on Thursday, according to Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.

Johnson went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and two RBI for Double-A Harrisburg in Sunday's 11-9 loss to Hartford.
EDGE Analysis
The homer was the first of the season for the Nats' No. 7 fantasy prospect. Johnson's had a little trouble adjusting to Double-A pitching, posting a .242/.284/.339 slash line through his first 15 games at the level with a 3:15 BB:K, but he seems to be figuring things out -- eight of his 15 hits have come in his last four games. The 22-year-old has also been a terror on the basepaths, stealing six bases in seven attempts as he looks to top last season's 22 stolen bases.

Johnson was promoted to High-A Potomac on Monday, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson, a fifth-round pick in 2016 out of New Mexico State, has been a pleasant surprise this season after underwhelming in short-season ball shortly after being drafted last summer. He was slashing .300/.361/.529 in 364 plate appearances for Low-A Hagerstown, while flashing both power (17 home runs) and speed (12 steals). The toolsy 22-year-old probably remains two years away from popping up on the big-league radar, but he'll remain worth tracking in dynasty formats if he can continue to maintain his power and on-base skills upon moving up to the Carolina League.

Johnson went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI for Low-A Hagerstown in Sunday's win over Greensboro.
EDGE Analysis
The 21-year-old tormented Greensboro's pitchers over the weekend, going 8-for-14 over the last three games with three homers and seven RBI. Johnson is enjoying a breakout season at Low-A, slashing .301/.369/.565 through 66 games with 16 homers and 38 RBI, and while he's been struggling on the basepaths with just six steals in 14 attempts, he's shown improved plate discipline to go along with his raw tools. The 2016 fifth-round pick is currently the Nats' No. 8 fantasy prospect, but don't be surprised if he climbs the rankings before the end of the year.

Johnson is slashing .303/.372/.574 in 52 games this season for Single-A Hagerstown this season.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has shown both speed and power this season, going 6-for-7 on stolen base attempts with 13 home runs and 10 doubles. He's shown more patience at the plate, 16 walks this season after only walking seven times in 62 games last year while playing with Single-A Auburn.
