OF Thomas Neal has been placed on the DL after leaving last night’s game with a hamstring issue according to John Sadak. Neal was a candidate to replace Ben Francisco as the right-handed bench bat, but I don’t think a move was imminent. UTIL Kevin Mahoney has been bumped from Double-A Trenton to Triple-A Scranton to fill the roster spot.
Triple-A Scranton (4-1 loss to Columbus)
- 2B Corban Joseph: 1-5, 2 K — wonder if he’ll see some more action at first base anytime soon
- 3B David Adams: 2-3, 1 BB
- LF Zoilo Almonte: 1-3, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SB
- C Austin Romine: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI — first homer of the year
- CF Melky Mesa: 0-4 — no strikeouts is a moral win
- RHP Chien-Ming Wang: 6.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 13/4 GB/FB — 51 of 81 pitches were strikes (62%) … he was sitting 87-89 in the first inning and 85-87 in the fifth inning, so there’s still some work to be done in the arm strength department even though he’s never going to get it back to 93+ again
Low-A Charleston (7-0 loss to West Virginia)
- CF Jake Cave: 1-4, 1 HBP
- SS Cito Culver: 2-4, 2 K — five hits in his last 12 at-bats (.417)
- DH Greg Bird: 1-4, 1 HBP
- 3B Dante Bichette Jr.: 0-4, 1 K
- LHP Daniel Camarena: 5 IP, 6 H, 7 R, 5 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, 1 Balk, 4/5 GB/FB — 55 of 74 pitches were strikes (74%) … has allowed at least five earned runs in three of his four starts
Both Double-A Trenton and High-A Tampa had scheduled off-days.
