Austin Romine and Brandon Laird are both heading to the Arizona Fall League. Zach Kroenke is in the same boat as Mike Dunn – if he doesn’t get Sept. callup, he’ll head to Arizona. Ian Kennedy and Colin Curtis have already been confirmed for the AzFL. Expect the last few spots to be filled by pitchers.
Stephen Strasburg and Dustin Ackley will also be in Arizona.
