Fan Confidence Poll: August 7th, 2017

C Donny Sands has been promoted from Low-A Charleston to High-A Tampa, the team announced. The 21-year-old converted third baseman is hitting .269/.323/.350 (97 wRC+) overall this season, though over his last 28 games, he’s hitting .298/.381/.452 (114 wRC+).

Triple-A Scranton (7-5 win over Pawtucket)

  • RF Mason Williams: 0-5

  • 3B Miguel Andujar: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI — here’s video of the homer … six homers in his last 19 games … he’s up to .320/.353/.521 with a 13.5% strikeout rate this year
  • DH Tyler Austin: 2-3, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 BB — here’s video of the double … unlike Hicks, he’s stuck going on Scranton’s road trip down to Gwinnett, according to D.J. Eberle
