Here’s the latest on the all the roster machinations. Keith Law posted an updated list of the top 25 prospects in the game, removing players who are in the bigs to stay even if they haven’t exhausted their rookie status yet (Jason Heyward, Justin Smoak, Wade Davis, etc.). Jesus Montero comes in at number nine after ranking tenth before the season. However, two players ranked above him in the preseason are no longer eligible, so in the grand scheme of things KLaw dropped him one spot.
Triple-A Scranton (3-0 loss to Indianapolis)
Kevin Russo, 3B: 0 for 4, 3 K
Reegie Corona, 2B, David Winfree, RF, Chad Huffman, 1B & Reid Gorecki, CF: all 0 for 3 – Corona walked & K’ed … Huffman K’ed once, Gorecki twice
Eduardo Nunez, SS: 1 for 4, 2 K
Jon Weber, LF: 0 for 2, 1 BB
Jesus Montero, DH: 0 for 2, 1 BB, 1 K – he’s DH’ed in four of his last eight games
Chad Moeller, C: 1 for 3, 1 2B
Jason Hirsh: 6.2 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 1 HB, 8-7 GB/FB – 70 of his 111 pitches were strikes (63.1%)
Royce Ring: 1.1 IP, zeroes, 4-0 GB/FB – 14 of 21 pitches were strikes (66.7%) … I’d say he was effective
Double-A Trenton (3-1 loss to New Hampshire, walk-off style)
Justin Christian, DH & Austin Krum, CF: both 1 for 4 – Krum scored a run & K’ed
David Adams, 2B: 0 for 4, 1 K

Marcos Vechionacci, 1B, Edwar Gonzalez, RF & Luis Nunez, SS: all 0 for 3 – Vech drew a walk & K’ed twice … Edwar drove in a run, walked & threw a runner out at third … Nunez struck out
David Phelps: 8 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 11-6 GB/FB – outdueled one of Toronto’s very best prospects
Wilkins Arias: 0.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 1-0 GB/FB – the walk was intentional
High-A Tampa (5-3 loss to Charlotte)
Jack Rye, RF: 0 for 5, 1 K – remember when he was hitting .390-something? well he’s 6 for his last 37 (.162) and down to .314

Mitch Abeita, C: 1 for 2, 1 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K
Graham Stoneburner: 4 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 5 BB, 4 K, 3-4 GB/FB – he was due for a stinker … no worries, just come back out in five days and start over
Brandon Braboy: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1-4 GB/FB
Adam Olbrychowski: 2 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 3-1 GB/FB

Kyle Higashioka, DH: 2 for 4, 1 2B, 1 RBI – he’s just 9 for his last 35 (.257), but six of those hits are doubles
J.R. Murphy, C: 0 for 4, 1 RBI, 2 PB – in case you missed it because of the late DotF yesterday, he’s been bumped up from Extended Spring Training while Garrison Lassiter and his sub .337 OPS went down … yes, OPS
DeAngelo Mack, LF: 2 for 4
Jose Ramirez: 5.2 IP, 10 H, 6 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, 3 WP, 3-8 GB/FB – easily his worst outing of the season … still got a 46-10 K/BB ratio in 48 IP
