The Scranton Yankees are going to get a shot at Aroldis Chapman on Wednesday. Trenton isn’t scheduled to play Harrisburg until July, so it’s unlikely they’ll get to step in against Stephen Strasburg. Scranton plays Columbus from May 10th to the 12th, so there’s a chance they could see Strasburg then if the Nationals decide to bump him up. They won’t play again until August, so that’s really they’re only chance to face last year’s top overall pick.
Corban Joseph was named the Florida State League Offensive Player of the Week while Graham Stoneburner took home South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Week honors. Congrats to both.
Triple-A Scranton was rained out. They’re going to make this one up as part of a July 10th doubleheader. Meanwhile, both Double-A Trenton and High-A Tampa had scheduled off days.
