DotF: Tampa sweeps doubleheader behind Mateo, Avelino, Fowler, and Andujar

SS Jorge Mateo, IF Vince Conde, and SS Hyo-Jun Park were named the Offensive Players of the Week in the High-A Florida State League, the Low-A South Atlantic League, and Rookie Appalachian League, respectively, so congrats to them.

Also, RHP Alex Robinett has been placed on the Military List, the River Dogs announced. Robinett, this year’s 32nd rounder, is a West Point cadet who has to fulfill his military obligation. His 6.17 ERA in 23.1 pro innings is skewed by one disaster no-out, seven-run outing. Robinett pitched quite well the last few weeks.

Triple-A Scranton, Double-A Trenton and Short Season Staten Island all had scheduled off-days.
