Two more top prospects in Keith Law's offseason Top 100 will make their major league debuts Sunday. The Minnesota Twins called up outfielder Byron Buxton, ranked No. 2 in the preseason, and the Cleveland Indians promoted shortstop Francisco Lindor, the preseason No. 6 prospect.

Before the arrivals of Buxton and Lindor, 12 others on Law's list played their first MLB games in 2015. Here is a look at how they fared in their first games and how they're playing so far in their brief careers.

Players appear in order of Law's offseason ranking (in parentheses).All stats are updated through Friday's (June 12) action.

Kris Bryant (1), 3B, Cubs: Debuted on April 17

After just seven games for Triple-A Iowa, Bryant was called up in mid-April by the Cubs just one day after it was ensured that he wouldn't be a free agent until after the 2021 season. Bryant struggled in his debut, striking out his first three times up and going 0-for-4. He collected his first major league hit in his second game, going 2-for-3 with his first RBI. Through 51 games, Bryant has a .869 OPS, with seven homers and 35 RBIs (second on the Cubs).

Carlos Correa (3), SS, Astros: Debuted on June 8

Just 20 years old, Correa was called up by the Astros after playing in 53 minor league games between Double-A and Triple-A this season. Making his debut in Chicago, and facing one of baseball's best pitchers (Chris Sale), Correa collected his first big league hit on an infield single, driving in the Astros' only run. Through four games, Correa is hitting .313 with two homers and a 1.063 OPS.

Addison Russell, SS/2B, Cubs (4): Debuted on April 21

While Russell's ultimate position will probably be shortstop, where he primarily played in the minors, the Cubs called him up to play second base. Like Bryant, Russell had a tough debut, going 0-for-5 and striking out three times. Since then, he's settled in and has an OPS of .701 through 44 games with four homers and 17 RBIs. He's also playing solid defense at second. Scott Spratt of Baseball Info Solutions looked at the best and worst defensive rookies so far this season, noting that Russell had five defensive runs saved through Friday.

Blake Swihart, C, Red Sox (10): Debuted on May 2

Called up to Boston when catcher Ryan Hanigan broke his right hand. Drafted No. 26 overall in the 2011 draft, Swihart was the top-rated catching prospect in the minors when he was called up. Went 1-for-3 in his debut with one run scored. After hitting .338 in 18 games at Triple-A Pawtucket, Swihart has struggled at the plate with Boston. Through 31 games, the switch-hitting catcher has a .552 OPS and has struck out 27 times with just five walks. He did hit his first homer on June 4 against the Twins.

Joey Gallo, 3B, Rangers (11): Debut on June 2

One of the top power-hitting prospects in baseball, Gallo was called up to Texas when Adrian Beltre was placed on the 15-daydisabled listwith a sprained left thumb. Unlike some of the other prospects on this list, Gallo had a monster debut, going 3-for-4 with a homer, four RBIs and three runs scored. In six games, Gallo has an OPS of .828, with two homers and five RBIs. One concern with Gallo coming up was his high strikeout totals and that has continued in the majors with 15 strikeouts in just 35 at-bats.

Carlos Rodon, LHP, White Sox (12): Debut on April 21

Rodon was called up after just eight combined minor league starts in 2015 and 2014. He made his debut for the White Sox out of the bullpen. He pitched three times in relief before making his first start onMay 10, going six innings and picking up his first (and at this point, only) major league win. In 40 2/3 innings Rodon has 40 strikeouts and an ERA of 2.66. Control has been a bit of an issues early in his career with 24 walks.

Noah Syndergaard, RHP, Mets (17): Debut on May 12

Syndergaard was called up on May 8, but didn't make his debut until four days later, taking the loss in 5 1/3 innings of work against the Cubs. Since then Syndergaard has made five more starts, compiling a record on 2-4 with a 4.15 ERA. He's lost his past two starts, giving up 11 earned runs in 10 innings.

Eduardo Rodriguez, LHP, Red Sox (29): Debuted on May 28

The 22-year-old lefty, who was acquired from the Orioles for Andrew Miller at last season's trade deadline, has established himself as the Red Sox's top pitching prospect. Rodriguez was initially called up for just one start, but after giving up zero runs in 7 2/3 innings in his debut the Red Sox gave him another start. He was equally as impressive in his second start, allowing just two hits in seven innings, recording his second straight win. After three starts, he's now 2-0 with an 0.44 ERA and a .116 batting average against.

Kevin Plawecki, C, Mets (45): Debuted on April 21

Plawecki was thrust into the Mets lineup when Travis d'Arnaud suffered a fractured right pinkie. In his first game with the Mets, Plawecki went 2-for-4 in a 7-1 win. Through 33 games with the Mets, Plawecki is hitting .211 with two homers and 13 RBIs.

Joe Ross, RHP, Nationals (63): Debut on June 6

With Stephen Strasburg and Doug Fister on the DL, the Nationals called up Ross from Double-A Harrisburg. He got off to a good start, retiring the first nine batters he faced, before the Cubs got to him for one run in the fourth and two in the fifth. He finished the game tossing five innings, giving up six hits and three earned runs in taking the loss.

Austin Hedges, C, Padres (74): Debuted on May 4

Hedges, who is backing up starting catcher Derek Norris, was one of the top defensive catching prospects in the minors. He saw his first big league action as a pinch hitter, striking out in his first at-bat. As a backup, Hedges has played sparingly, hitting just .083 in 11 games (two hits in 24 at bats).

Alex "Chi Chi" Gonzalez, RHP, Rangers (86): Debuted on May 30

A first-round pick (No. 23 overall) in 2013 draft out of Oral Roberts University. Gonzalez pitched 5 2/3 innings for a win in his MLB debut against the Red Sox. He followed that up with an even better performance, tossing a shutout in his second start. In 21 2/3 innings, he's given up only one earned run yet he's walked 10 and struck out only eight and now has a 2-1 record.
