OK getting some better-than-the-worse-case-scenario news here. Pena should be OK after that really awkward collision, and Siegler news is good given the circumstance. Bummer on Payne, but I do hope he gets better soon, and also hope that was maybe a factor in his recent slump?

No news on Ramon Rodriguez, which I will expect the worst. As posted in the Minor League transactions, with Dinges moving up I do suspect some catching carousel (Ordonez moving around, and hopefully a placement for Quero) to even out the 2-3 catchers per team

Lineup for this evening’s action from the Arizona Complex League…

Tyler Black 1B
Jeferson Quero C
Jorge Quintana SS
Handelfry Encarnacion RF
Kevin Garcia DH
Juan Ortuno 2B
Kevin Ereu 3B
Jadyn Fielder LF
Engel Paulino CF
Jayden Dubanewicz P

[sveumrules]

Dubanewicz worked around a pair of walks in the first, but gave up a run in the second surrendering a double and triple. Three of his six outs have come via strikeout.

[sveumrules]

GameDay has the full on StatCast experience tonight.

Looks like Dubanewicz is working with a sinker/four seam in the 92-94 MPH range, a 78-80 MPH curve, and a 80-82 MPH slider.

Went three up three down three groundouts in the third.

[sveumrules]

Not much action for the offense but some hard hit balls through the third include a 107 MPH double and 106 MPH groundout from Tyler Black, a 110 MPH Jeferson Quero groundout, and a 109 MPH Juan Ortuno groundout.

[sveumrules]

Dubanewicz goes four up three down in the fourth with a single and strikeout.

52 pitches (31 strikes) so far.

[sveumrules]

Dubanewicz strikes out the side in the fifth, dropping in a few 84-86 MPH change ups too.

Of his ten batted balls so far he’s at nine grounders and one line drive.

[sveumrules]

Jadyn Fielder greeted the new Royals pitcher by ambushing a first pitch 96 MPH fastball for a double, then advanced to third on a balk.

Tyler Black has walked putting runners on the corners one down for Quero who gets hit with an 81 MPH curveball to load the bases for Jorge Quintana.

& we’ve got a mound visit.

[biedergb]

And Jorge Quintana maybe shaking off his awful slump to start out his ACL season. Singles in a run. 1-1

[sveumrules]

Quintana delivers with his second single of the game to tie it up at one each.

& Handelfry Encarnacion goes grand slam, 5-1 Zona Crew !!

[biedergb]

Handelfry (so is is pronounced “handle free” or “hand el-free)hits a grand slam. And it’s 5-1. Hurrah

[sveumrules]

Ethan Dorchies on in the 6th and he’s working mostly with a 93-95 MPH four seamer. Dropped in a couple 84 MPH sliders, a 92 MPH sinker and a 90 MPH cutter.

Worked around a leadoff single and stolen base to put up a zero with one K and two fly outs.

[biedergb]

Yeah Dorchies isn’t just touching 95, he hit 94.x on 6 of his 16 pitches (10 -11 fastballs by my count). Sure one inning but that’s a good sign for his velo.

[biedergb]

1-2-3 for Dorchies. Slider and 93 mph fastballs. 

[biedergb]

Another 1-2-3 inning. Dorchies 35 pitches, 24 strikes. 3 K, 1 H, 0 BB in 3 IP

[biedergb]

Yet another 1-2-3 for Dorchies. And that’s game. 5-1

Dorchies 42 pitches for 30 strikes. Hitting 92.x in his final inning.

Yeah, looks like he was a little amped up getting some extra juice that first inning before settling in around 92-93 last couple frames.

Either way, hard to argue with those kind of results from a pitcher who doesn’t turn 19 for five more months.

Yep. 19:3 K:BB ratio, with all 3 coming in one inning? That’ll play.

[wiguy94]

Dorchies looks fascinating. Really good spin and his command looked pretty darn good for an 18 year old in the Complex. A lot of pitches right on the edge or just off it.

Here's some Statcast numbers for Jayden Dubanewicz and Ethan Dorchies if anyone's interested.
