DotF: Ackley plays second base in fourth rehab game

Triple-A Scranton (2-0 win over Buffalo)

• CF-LF Slade Heathcott: 0-4, 1 K
• DH Rob Refsnyder: 2-4, 1 2B, 1 RBI — three two-hit games and four no-hit games in his last seven games
• 2B Dustin Ackley: 1-3, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 HBP — left the game in the eighth after being hit by a pitch, though I’m unsure if he got hurt or if that was simply the plan for the day (he hasn’t played a full nine innings yet as part of his rehab) … interesting he played second base
• LF-2B Jose Pirela: 1-4
• RF-CF Aaron Judge: 0-4, 1 K — in an ugly 1-for-25 (.040) slump
• C Austin Romine: 0-4, 1 K
• RHP Chris Capuano: 3.2 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 5/2 GB/FB — 36 of 62 pitches were strikes (58%) … unless there’s a sudden need at the MLB level, I bet he stays here through the Triple-A postseason, then the team will figure out what happens after that
• RHP Johnny Barbato: 3.1 IP, zeroes, 3 K, 6/0 GB/FB — 27 of 36 pitches were strikes (75%) … finishing his first season in the organization very well
• RHP Nick Goody: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 2/0 GB/FB — 23 of 30 pitches were strikes (77%)

Double-A Trenton (2-0 loss to Altoona)

• DH Tony Renda: 1-4
• CF Mark Payton: 0-4, 1 K
• RHP Rookie Davis: 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 1 WP, 1 HB, 7/3 GB/FB — 56 of 95 pitches were strikes (59%) … easily his best start since being promoted

High-A Tampa‘s game was suspended due to rain with one out in the top of the fifth inning. Here’s the box score. The game will be completed tomorrow.

Low-A Charleston was rained out. They’ll play a doubleheader tomorrow.

• CF Jeff Hendrix: 1-4, 1 R, 1 BB

• RF Jhalan Jackson: 1-4, 1 K
• DH Brandon Wagner: 1-3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB
• 3B Drew Bridges: 2-4, 2 R, 1 RBI, 2 K
• SS Danienger Perez: 3-4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 3B, 3 RBI — just up from the GCL to lend a hand down the stretch
• RHP Ethan Carnes: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 6/5 GB/FB — 45 of 69 pitches were strikes (65%)

• 2B Gosuke Katoh: 1-3, 1 RBI, 2 K
• LF Frank Frias: 1-3, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 K — threw a runner out at third … he signed for $7,500 two years ago and is hitting .292/.419/.500 in 40 games this year
• RHP Jhon Morban: 4.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 1 HB, 3/3 GB/FB
