High-A Eugene placed Pomares (back/leg) on its 7-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Pomares sustained a lower back and leg injury late in spring training and is a few weeks behind Eugene's other everyday players, so he'll remain at the Giants' extended camp in Arizona before reporting to the High-A affiliate. The 22-year-old outfielder slashed .255/.322/.437 with 14 home runs and 60 RBI across 383 plate appearances with Eugene in 2022.

Pomares is dealing with lower-back and leg issues and will not begin the minor-league season on time, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pomares is a few weeks behind schedule, so he likely won't be ready to play until late April at best. It's unclear if he'll start the season at High-A Eugene or Double-A Richmond once he's healthy.

Pomares was named the Northwest League Player of the Week on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Pomares went 12-for-25 with two home runs, three doubles and six RBI in six games versus High-A Spokane last week. For the season, the outfield prospect is slashing .248/.324/.434 with 12 homers, 44 RBI, 45 runs scored and 17 doubles through 80 contests.

The Giants promoted Pomares from Low-A San Jose to High-A Eugene on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 21-year-old outfielder earned the call-up after a torrid first half of August -- he posted a 1.188 OPS over 13 games -- boosted his season-long slash line at San Jose to .372/.429/.693 across 224 plate appearances. Pomares' growth as a power hitter has been perhaps the most encouraging development about his stellar campaign, as he was mostly touted for his advanced hit tool and on-base skills heading into 2021.

Pomares is slashing .363/.428/.676 with 12 homers, 38 RBI and 42 runs across 46 games for Low-A San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
A bit of a forgotten man on the Giants' prospect list, Pomares -- who just turned 21 on Aug. 4 -- has been absolutely tearing up the Low-A West. Pomares missed the beginning of the season with a back issue, but he's been pulverizing opposing pitching ever since. Of course, there are caveats: a .445 BABIP, a 24.4 percent strikeout rate and little speed to speak of -- not to mention that he's basically repeating the level, having appeared in 14 Low-A games in 2019 before last year's minor-league season was canceled. Even so, head-turning numbers like these can't be ignored. Unless you're in a very deep dynasty league, you may want to take a wait-and-see approach with Pomares, but if he keeps hitting like this in High-A and potentially Double-A next year, the hype train will take on a lot of passengers quickly.

Pomares was promoted to short-season Salem-Keizer, Giants Prospects reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pomares, who turned 19 last week, hit .374/.409/.558 with three home runs and five steals in 35 games in the AZL. His ability to make contact at a high clip (13.8 K%) combined with his power and speed makes him one of the more exciting prospects in the Giants' system.

Pomares agreed to a $975,000 deal with the Giants on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The oldest of the notable players expected to sign on July 2, Pomares will turn 18 in August, so he could move a bit quicker than the rest of the top prospects from this year's international signing class. At 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, Pomares has a good, athletic frame, and the fact that he hits from the left side is another mark in his favor. He is currently a hit-over-power offensive prospect, but could develop more over-the-fence pop with professional instruction. Pomares is a plus runner, but may lack the instincts for center field, which would put more pressure on his bat. He has a chance to develop into a five-category fantasy contributor.
