On Friday highly touted prospect Kris Bryant made his first start with the Chicago Cubs. Today, the second in-season roster update released for MLB 15: The Show (PS4/PS3/Vita) and it includes Bryant's addition to the video game.
As noted last week regarding the first rookies added to the game , players are not eligible to be included in a licensed video game until they are a member of the MLBPA, and that requires a single Major League appearance. Once Bryant entered his first game, he became a member and could be added to the video game immediately.
