IF Ronald Torres was placed on the temporary inactive list, the team announced. Conor Foley says Torreyes returned to New York to be with his wife, who has a medical issue. “It was more important for him to get to his wife,” said Triple-A Scranton manager Bobby Mitchell. Hope everything’s okay.

- LF Tyler Austin: 1-3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB — he was removed for a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning … manager Bobby Mitchell told Conor Foley that Austin’s back flared up and he’s going to see a doctor, which presumably takes him out of the running for a call-up against all those Red Sox lefties this weekend
- RF Billy McKinney: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI — here’s video of the double … back-to-back games with a homer … now has eleven homers in 42 games this season … set a career high with 16 homers in 124 games last season

- RHP Deivi Garcia: 5 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, 2 WP, 4/1 GB/FB — 53 of 79 pitches were strikes (67%) … 31/4 K/BB in 19.2 innings for the 19-year-old … it’s only 19.2 innings, but I am *very* excited to see him throwing so many strikes … control was the big issue coming into the season, and if he’s figured that out, he’s going to explode as a prospect
- RHP Alex Vargas: 4 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 4/0 GB/FB — 35 of 49 pitches were strikes (71%) … they have so many quality pitching prospects in the lower minors that there’s no rotation spot available for Vargas, so he’s piggybacking starts for the time being
