The Chicago Cubs finally called up Kris Bryant last week, and he likely won't be the last top MLB prospect to make his big league debut in 2015. The regular season is under way, but we shouldn't forget about that next wave of stars honing their craft in the minor leagues. 

Using MLB.com's top prospect list, we'll take a look at the top 10 entries on that list and how their seasons are shaping up in the early stages of the campaign.

Since Bryant is now on the major league roster, he won't be included on this list. But you will still find the likes of Byron Buxton, Corey Seager and Addison Russell as well as some of the other top youngsters in the league. 

Here we go!

Miguel Sano, Minnesota Twins

2015 Stats

.200/.368/.400, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 7 R

The Skinny

After hitting 35 homers in 2013, Miguel Sano missed the entire 2014 season due to Tommy John surgery. MLB.com currently ranks Sano as the No. 12 prospect in all of baseball.

Sano's average isn't overly impressive, but the elite run production has been on full display over the first few weeks of the regular season. Sano has posted a 131 wRC+ in his first 38 at-bats at Double-A.

The Verdict: Stock Up

After missing all of last season, Sano has flashed the power that made him one of the most coveted prospects in baseball in 2013. The 21-year-old has a tendency to whiff, but he makes up for it with above-average walk totals. 

A healthy season in 2015 should put Sano on pace for a 2016 MLB debut. 

Noah Syndergaard, New York Mets

2015 Stats

2 GS, 7.2 IP, 4.70 ERA, 6.28 FIP, 8.22 K/9, 7.04 BB/9

The Skinny

Noah Syndergaard will one day be part of a young New York Mets pitching staff that includes the like of Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom and Steven Matz, but the right-hander didn't fall into the club's plans to begin 2015. 

Syndergaard logged 133 innings at Triple-A last season, striking out nearly 10 per nine innings. His 4.60 ERA is rather ugly, but those numbers were inflated due to pitching in hitter-friendly Las Vegas. 

The 22-year-old has gotten off to a rough start in 2015, missing some time due to forearm tightness according to Mike Vorkunov of NJ.com. 

The Verdict: Stock Down

Syndergaard is nearing a major league debut but could use a bit more polishing before that time comes. The elite repertoire is there, but beginning the season with six walks in just over seven innings is cause for raised eyebrows. 

He'll be fine, but Syndergaard has put himself behind the eight ball in terms of expediting his major league call-up.

Joey Gallo, Texas Rangers

2015 Stats

N/A

The Skinny

A preseason ankle injury that has sidelined Joey Gallo for the first few weeks of the season has halted his ascent to the Texas Rangers roster. According to Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News, Gallo was expected to have a three-week recovery period in early April. 

When he does return, Gallo will be looking to build off a season in which he hit the second-most homers in minor league baseball. The 21-year-old is your typical feast-or-famine slugger, capable of posting high slugging percentages and high strikeout totals. 

The Verdict: N/A

His ankle injury hasn't allowed for a fast start in 2015, but Gallo looked good in his spring at-bats. He mashed two homers while walking enough to offset his K's. 

Gallo has only played 68 games at Double-A, so getting healthy and producing again this season are crucial to his development.

Julio Urias, Los Angeles Dodgers

2015 Stats 

2 GS, 10.2 IP, 0.00 ERA, 1.22 FIP, 11.81 K/9, 1.69 BB/9

The Skinny

According to MLB.com, Julio Urias is the top left-handed pitching prospect in the minors. 

The 18-year-old piled up ridiculous strikeout totals at High-A last season, fanning over 11 per nine in 87.2 innings pitched. Despite struggling this spring, Urias hasn't allowed a run in 10.2 innings at Double-A to begin 2015. 

The Verdict: Stock Up

In September of last year, FanGraphs' Ron Shah deemed Urias MLB ready despite his age. Urias has only solidified that theory by dominating Double-A hitters to start the year. 

Don't be shocked to see the teenage southpaw in Los Angeles by year's end. 

Corey Seager, Los Angeles Dodgers

2015 Stats

.514/.500/.811, 2 HR, 11 RBI, 8 R

The Skinny

Corey Seager shared the Los Angeles Dodgers minor league player of the year award with Joc Pederson last season and is picking up right where he left off in 2015. 

Seager is an advanced hitter with a polished approach. The 20-year-old hits for both average and power, and he has shown an ability to handle southpaw pitching as well as he does right-handers. 

At 6'4", 215 pounds, Seager may end up moving from shortstop, as he's been playing third base at Double-A this season.

The Verdict: Stock Up

There's no hotter offensive player in the minor leagues than Seager. He's well on his way to a 2016 MLB debut if he continues to impress at the dish. 

The kicker is going to be finding his home defensively, but he's athletic enough to be an above-average defender wherever he ends up. 

Lucas Giolito, Washington Nationals

2015 Stats 

N/A

The Skinny

The Washington Nationals have one of the best rotations in recent memory at the big league level, but the club also boasts the top pitching prospect in all of minor league baseball in Lucas Giolito. 

Giolito has yet to throw a pitch in the 2015 regular season, but James Wagner and Chelsea Janes at The Washington Post note that the Nationals are managing Giolito and fellow prospect Reynaldo Lopez carefully early in the year:

No need for alarm. Neither pitcher is hurt, according to Nationals assistant general manager of player development Doug Harris. The Nationals are cautious with young pitchers, not just those who have undergone Tommy John surgery, as Giolito did in August 2012. Both prospects hit their prescribed innings limits last season.

The Verdict: Stock Up

Giolito was dominant in 2014, striking out 10 per nine in nearly 100 innings at Single-A. His fastball and curve have the makings of elite big league offerings, while his changeup is improving dramatically. 

The Nats are stacked with pitching talent in the majors, so there is no need to rush the development of their 20-year-old prospect.

Addison Russell, Chicago Cubs

2015 Stats

.314/.324/.457, 1 HR, 7 RBI, 7 R

The Skinny

Kris Bryant may not be the only top prospect the Chicago Cubs call up this season, as Addison Russell is nearly ready for the majors. 

After rising all the way to Double-A from High-A last season, Russell has lit up Triple-A pitching to begin 2015. His solid start to the campaign has caught the attention of Cubs president Theo Epstein according to the Chicago Tribune. 

"He's playing very well," Epstein said. "He hasn’t been at Triple-A all that long [seven games]. But he’s playing great. He's been having great at-bats, using the whole field. He's played outstanding at shortstop the first week of the season."

The Verdict: Stock Up

Russell has been playing second base over the last few games, indicating a call-up may be right around the corner. The 21-year-old also gives the Cubs the luxury of trading current shortstop Starlin Castro. 

Francisco Lindor, Cleveland Indians

2015 Stats

.212/.316/.364, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 3 R, 3 SB

The Skinny

The Cleveland Indians never had any intention of beginning 2015 with Francisco Lindor as their starting shortstop, but the 21-year-old made it a mighty tough decision for Terry Francona and the rest of the Cleveland brass. Lindor hit .297 with six extra-base hits in 37 spring at-bats. 

Despite a slow start at Triple-A, Lindor's career path is well ahead of schedule. His glove is big league ready, as MLB.com calls him the "best defender in the minor leagues."

The Verdict: Stock Up

With an elite glove, Lindor doesn't need to be an offensive juggernaut to provide the Indians with value. Yet he's hit for a decent average at each minor league stop, all while managing reasonable strikeout totals. 

Lindor made an impression on the Cleveland front office while in camp. He's not too far away from being the Tribe's everyday shortstop. 

Carlos Correa, Houston Astros

2015 Stats

.351/.442/.649, 1 HR, 12 RBI, 8 R

The Skinny

Carlos Correa has rebounded nicely from a broken right fibula that ended his 2014 season prematurely. He's an extremely gifted offensive talent, capable of hitting for both average and power. 

A scout predicted to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman that Correa "will hit 500 homers, in the majors, maybe 600" and that he'll turn out to be what Alex Rodriguez "should have been."

That's pretty high praise.

The Verdict: Stock Up

After missing key reps in 2014, Correa has been able to get back on track at Double-A to begin 2015. A full season of production there will position him to make the big league club sometime in 2016. 

Byron Buxton, Minnesota Twins

2015 Stats

.225/.244/.375, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 3 R, 1 SB

The Skinny

MLB.com ranks Byron Buxton of the Minnesota Twins as its No. 1 overall prospect, but the gifted outfielder has struggled to begin 2015. 

Buxton announced himself to the baseball world in 2013, flashing his five-tool skill set in rookie ball and Single-A. Since then, the 21-year-old has endured a rash of various injuries that have hindered his development.

The Verdict: Stock Down

While Buxton is too talented not to eventually figure it out, his injuries and inconsistencies over the last year are cause for concern. 

Kris Bryant had passed Buxton on many prospect ranking lists, and there are plenty of talented youngsters currently gunning for his top spot. 2015 will be an important season in Buxton's development, but for now, he should no longer be considered the the undisputed No. 1 prospect.
