Some notes:
- OF Cesar Puello was placed on the Triple-A Scranton DL with a concussion, so says Shane Hennigan. Apparently he was hit in the head with a bat in the dugout, presumably accidentally. Yikes. Puello has had concussion problems in the past. Hopefully this is nothing serious.
- OF Lane Adams and LHP Daniel Camarena have been bumped up to Triple-A Scranton, reports Josh Norris. Adams is replacing Puello on the roster. Camarena is filling that 25th roster spot that has been sitting open all season for whatever reason.
- RHP Nick Rumbelow told Hennigan his Tommy John surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. It was originally reported as Friday (yesterday), but either that was wrong or it was pushed back.
Triple-A Scranton (8-4 loss to Syracuse)
- CF Ben Gamel: 1-5, 1 R, 3 K, 1 SB
- 3B Rob Refsnyder: 1-4, 2 RBI, 1 E (throwing) — second error in five games at the hot corner
- LF Slade Heathcott: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 SB
- 1B Nick Swisher: 1-3, 2 BB, 1 K — 4-for-11 (.364) with a double, two walks, and two strikeouts in three games so far … Swisher’s a pretty smart hitter, I expect him to put up some nice numbers here as long as he’s healthy … the question is can he still hit big league pitching? there’s really one way to find out
- RF Lane Adams: 0-4, 1 BB, 3 K — threw a runner out at third … he is 0-for-13 with eleven strikeouts in his last three games
- RHP Ronald Herrera: 5 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 8 K, 1 WP, 3/2 GB/FB — 61 of 102 pitches were strikes (60%) … Triple-A debut for the 20-year-old, though I suspect this was only a spot start and not a permanent promotion
- LHP Daniel Camarena: 4 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, 6/1 GB/FB — 44 of 63 pitches were strikes (70%) … this is his Triple-A debut after not pitching at all last season due to some kind of injury
Double-A Trenton (7-0 win over New Hampshire)
- SS Tyler Wade: 2-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 E (throwing) — had been in a little 2-for-14 (.183) slump
- CF Dustin Fowler: 3-4, 1 R, 1 3B, 4 RBI, 1 SB — he’s been on base 16 times in nine games so far
- 3B Dante Bichette Jr.: 0-3, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 E (fielding)
- 1B Tyler Austin: 2-5, 1 R, 1 RBI
- LF Jake Cave: 0-2, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 SB, 1 HBP — threw a runner out at second
- CF Jared Mitchell: 0-4, 1 RBI, 1 K
- LHP Dietrich Enns: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 4 BB, 2 K, 7/4 GB/FB — 54 of 86 pitches were strikes (63%) … he’s allowed four earned runs in 69.1 innings (0.52 ERA) since coming back from Tommy John surgery last year
- RHP Mark Montgomery: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1/0 GB/FB — only ten of 21 pitches were strikes (48%)
High-A Tampa (3-1 loss to Charlotte)
- CF Mark Payton: 1-3, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
- SS Abi Avelino: 2-4, 1 SB — got picked off first
- 3B Miguel Andujar: 0-4, 2 K
- 2B Billy Flemming: 2-3 — 12-for-30 (.400) through eight games for the undrafted free agent
- RF Austin Aune: 1-3, 2 K
- RHP James Kaprielian: 7 IP, 1 H, 3 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 1WP, 16/1 GB/FB, 1 E (missed catch) — 50 of 76 pitches were strikes (66%) … Josh Vitale says Kaprielian ran his fastball up to 97 mph, though I’m pretty sure he pulled that from the scoreboard, so take it with a grain of salt … threw six hitless innings before allowing a single to the leadoff man in the seventh … he dropped the flip from 1B Mike Ford while covering first base, and that led to the three unearned runs
Low-A Charleston (5-3 win over Augusta in 14 innings)
- CF Jeff Hendrix: 0-5, 2 R, 2 BB, 2 K
- SS Hoy Jun Park: 2-, 1 R, 1 3B, 2 RBI, 1 K — had the go-ahead two-run triple in the top of the 14th against an outfielder who was in his second inning of work on the mound
- LF Trey Amburgey: 3-7, 1 R, 1 RBI
- 1B Chris Gittens: 4-5, 1 BB, 1 K
- RF Jhalan Jackson: 0-6, 4 K — had struck out seven times total in his first eight games
- 2B Thairo Estrada: 0-5, 1 BB, 3 K
- 3B Angel Aguilar: 0-5
- RHP Brody Koerner: 6 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 3 WP, 7/5 GB/FB — 49 of 78 pitches were strikes (63%)
- LHP James Reeves: 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 3/1 GB/FB — 21 of 29 pitches were strikes (72%) … quality relief work right there
- RHP Travis Hissong: 3.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 11 K — 46 of 65 pitches were strikes (71%) … holy crap, eleven strikeouts in 3.2 innings? that has to be a DotF record for the longest outing in which every out was a strikeout
- RHP Claudio Custodio: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K — 16 of 22 pitches were strikes (73%) … between Claudio and Hissong, the last 15 outs by River Dogs pitchers were strikeouts
