Some notes — mostly roster moves — from the last few days:
- RHP Charley Short has been bumped up to Double-A Trenton, according to Nick Peruffo. The 25-year-old former indy baller has a 1.84 ERA (~1.85 FIP) with an 81/16 K/BB in 58.2 relief innings across three levels this season. Expect the Thunder to get some more reinforcements for the playoffs in the coming days.
- 2B Angelo Gumbs has been placed on the Low-A Charleston DL. I’m not sure what’s wrong with him, but he had a finger injury earlier this year and an elbow injury last summer. IF Fu-Lin Kuo has joined the team to fill the roster spot.
- RHP Rookie Davis has been promoted from Short Season Staten Island to Low-A Charleston. He had a 2.36 ERA (2.72 FIP) in 42 innings across eleven starts for the Baby Bombers. RHP Luis Severino was sent to one of the GCL Yanks affiliates to clear a roster spot.
- UTIL Ronnie Mustelier was named the Triple-A International League Offensive Player of the Week, so congrats to him.
