Assuming a healthy recovery, probably a lock to play in the Arizona Fall League I imagine?

Does anyone know what Joseph Hernandez is on the IL for and how long? Thanks everyone.

I believe he’s already been told, pending his health, that he’ll likely be participating.

RHP Jake Cousins (who had been playing for AAA Nashville) claimed off waivers by Houston

[Jim Goulart]

• LHP Brian Fitzpatrick reinstated from 60-day injured list and activated on Carolina's roster (had been rehabbing from Tommy John in Maryvale)
• INF Jesus Parra released from the Carolina roster (Parra signed on his 16th birthday in August 2018 for $210,000. This season was his first with a full-season affiliate, .646 OPS in 164 plate appearances with the Mudcats, primarily playing first base and at DH after rookie-level work mainly at third base).

With Fitzpatrick coming off the 60-day list, another player had to come off the organizational roster in order to not be above the 180-player stateside limit.

[Ro Mueller]

- LHP Eric Lauer assigned to AAA Nashville from ACL Brewers
- RHP Brandon Woodruff’s rehab transferred to AAA Nashville from High-A Wisconsin
- 3B/RF Brian Anderson sent on rehab assignment to AAA Nashville
- LHP Bennett Sousa’s rehab transferred to AAA Nashville from ACL Brewers
- LHP Adam Seminaris sent on rehab assignment to ACL Brewers

Well, that's interesting. McKendry really impressed versus the Sounds in Mid-May of the first half - 6 IP, 2 H, 2 BB, 8 K. That outing helped him win International League Pitcher of the Week honors. On the season, for Durham, he's been pretty dang good. Favorable strikeout profile with 95 K in 96 1/3 IP. The Sounds will now have two of the top three strikeout leaders in the International League.

  I'll miss those Alex Jackson mega-blasts into the parking garages behind <insert Triple-A ballpark here>.

Despite being a 32nd round pick, Bradley Blalock (Baseball Cube page) signed for $250,000 out of a Georgia high school. The Christmas baby will be 23 years old this winter.

ARob, you usually know a lot about what’s going on down at complex. Do you know if any other draft picks will be debuting soon. Seems weird how only 2 have got start on the season so far.

Unfortunately, I don’t have much to share at this point, but I’ll see if I can find some of that info for those interested.

I think it's fair to say I expected this move for Blalock but did not have the C Jesus Garcia to Triple-A in my cards. I am wondering if this is akin to the LHP Pablo Garabitos 'cup of coffee' last season? Hard to tell. None the less, good for him!

Surprised me with the Alex Jackson deal... I'd have thought Quero would be in Nashville. His bat's clearly ready for the promotion, and IMO, it isn't even a close call.

It's maybe a promotion in the meantime til Queros fit again

[ClosetBrewerFan]

I'm sure they are waiting for Quero to come off the 7 day IL.  He is then targeted for AAA.  Garcia is just a stopgap in case we need a third C in AAA.
