With IF Alberto Gonzalez joining the big league team, IF Reggie Corona has been promoted from Double-A Trenton to Triple-A Scranton to fill the team’s shortstop vacancy according to Josh Norris. Meanwhile, LHP Nik Turley will get bumped up to Triple-A Scranton for tomorrow’s start and tomorrow’s start only, says Norris. RHP Brett Marshall will be with the big league team in case they need to add a pitcher between doubleheader games.

High-A Tampa had a scheduled off-day, as did the rest of the Florida State League. How an entire league managed to get a scheduled off-day on a Sunday — on Mother’s Day, nonetheless — I’ll never know.
