Triantos underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The procedure is expected to keep him on the shelf for 6-to-8 weeks. Triantos, 20, is coming off a 2022 season at Low-A Myrtle Beach which saw him bat .272/.335/.386 with seven homers and 20 steals over 113 games.

Triantos is hitting .257/.34/.368 with five home runs and 11 steals through 90 games for Single-A Myrtle Beach.

EDGE Analysis

He was hitting over .300 as recently as early June, but Triantos has been ice cold for quite a while now. Since uncharacteristically homering in three straight games to open the month of July, Triantos has gone just 17-for-97 (.175) with zero home runs in 24 games. The bright side is that he's still making plenty of contact -- his 17 percent strikeout rate is a positive -- but Triantos simply hasn't hit the ball very hard this year.

Triantos is batting .301/.374/.387 with one homer, nine steals and an 18:30 BB:K across 42 games for Single-A Myrtle Beach.

EDGE Analysis

After he hit six homers in 25 games in rookie ball last year, Triantos was certainly expected to show much more power than this, but at least he's still getting his hits and using his wheels. He hasn't been caught stealing a single time yet this season after going only 3-for-6 last year. Triantos' hit tool looks good, but it's unlikely steals will be a big part of his game in the majors, so he'll need to start putting the ball over the fence a little more often to avoid falling into a utility profile.

Triantos went 2-for-2 with an RBI in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Triantos, the 56th overall pick in the 2021 first-year player draft last July, looked good in his first action of the spring. The 19-year-old is still presumably a few years away from his MLB debut, but he's someone to keep an eye on if his bat plays in the minors. He was considered an above-average hitting prospect coming out of Madison High School in Vienna, Virginia.
