Here are the day’s notes:
- RHP Domingo Acevedo (back) was activated off the High-A DL, reports Josh Norris. He only missed two weeks. Acevedo was reportedly on the verge of being promoted to Double-A Trenton before getting hurt, so we’ll see how long it is until he finds himself with the Thunder.
- Make sure you check out this Randy Miller feature on the caring and charitable side of OF Clint Frazier. He obviously a very talented baseball player, but Frazier also seems like a genuinely great person. It’ll be easy to root for him. That’s for sure.
- And finally, congrats to Jorge Posada, who will be inducted into the NY-Penn League Hall of Fame this year, the league announced. Posada hit .235/.388/.359 with four homers in 71 games as a 19-year-old with the 1991 Oneonta Yankees.
Triple-A Scranton Game One (2-1 win over Norfolk in eight innings, walk-off style) makeup of the May 29th rainout
- CF Mason Williams: 2-4, 1 R, 1 K — one of the two hits was an infield single, so the quad must be feeling good

- DH Chris Parmelee: 0-2, 2 BB
- C Kyle Higashioka: 1-3, 1 K

Triple-A Scranton Game Two (3-2 loss to Norfolk in eight innings, walk-off style) can’t imagine too many teams have had a walk-off win and a walk-off loss on the same day

Rookie Pulaski (1-0 loss to Pulaski) OF Blake Rutherford hasn’t played since last Monday due to a supposedly minor knee injury … he’s on the active roster, not the DL, so I guess that means he’s day-to-day?
