GCL season ends with a win

RHP Angel Rincon will join 1B Greg Bird with Short Season Staten Island while RHP Rich Mascheri and RHP Edison Mejia have been bumped up to High-A Tampa. We’re going to see a flurry of late-season promotions now with the minor league seasons starting to end, September call-ups, affiliates dropping out of playoff races, etc.
