DotF: Hendrix leads Charleston to a win with five hits

Promotion season is underway: RHP Jose Campos has been bumped up from High-A Tampa to Double-A Trenton, the teams announced. Campos has finally made it out of Single-A, four years after being the other guy in the Jesus Montero-Michael Pineda trade. Expect to see several more promotions in the coming days and weeks. It’s only a matter of time until SS Jorge Mateo and 3B Miguel Andujar join Campos with the Thunder.
