Saturday's Birthdays:

The DSL Blue team is an absolute juggernaut, even with Gold having most of the big 2026 names (and being no slouches themselves).

This is going to be a fun class to follow.

The Low-A Warbirds play two games at Hill City today, aiming to build on a 2-1 series lead. RHP Carlos Carra can continue his hot run of form (17.1 IP, 3 R, 20 Ks in 3 starts) in Game 1. RF Jose Anderson leads the Carolina League with 15 homers.

Update: RHP Tyler Renz got the start instead. This was a continuation of Friday’s 1st inning suspended contest, for which Carra warmed up but didn’t throw any live pitches.

High-A Wisconsin get a second chance to clinch this week’s home series over Great Lakes, with RHP Jason Woodward (5.79 ERA, 1.71 WHIP, 10.0 K/9 in 23.1 IP) getting tonight’s start. 3B Andrew Fischer leads the Midwest League in OPS (1.108), SLG (.670), homers (20) and is second in RBIs (50).

[Ro Mueller]

AA Biloxi need to snap a 3-game skid at Birmingham tonight to avoid a series defeat. 21-year old RHP Bishop Letson has been in solid form (11.1 IP, 1 R, 14 Ks over last 2 starts). C Matt Wood is catching for a 5th straight day, while SS Jesus Made seeks his first extra-base hit in June -> 8 singles in 38 at-bats).

Something is up with O'Rae. He has gotten 3 total at bats in the last week but has pinch ran in 2 other games and the game notes always say he was "given the day off".

[Ro Mueller]

RHP Garrett Stallings (3.40 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 7.7 K/9 in 47.2 IP) and AAA Nashville can clinch this week’s home series with a victory over Durham tonight. RF Akil Baddoo is 8-for-13 with 2 HR, 5 BB, 10 RBIs over his last 4 games.

[Ro Mueller]

After a close loss in Game 1 of today’s doubleheader, the Low-A Warbirds need a win at Hill City in the nightcap to re-establish a 1-game series lead. RHP Enniel Cortez (7.79 ERA, 1.90 WHIP, 7.8 K/9 in 17.1 IP) makes  his 8th appearance (5th start). Ebel, Ibarguen and Fielder enter as lineup changes from Game 1.

The team has been able to mine at least 1 elite prospect from each of their last 5 classes. Chourio-Lara-Rodriguez-Made & Pena-Frias and now we have what looks like a positional class that rivals what we had in ‘24. 

It’s obviously early, but the 2030 team could have 5-6 regulars from their international system — amazing.

[Ro Mueller]

Jose Anderson bashed a game-tying 3-run homer with 2 outs in the 8th inning, but Wilson conceded another run to fall 4-3. That’s 16 homers for Anderson.

[Ro Mueller]

Enniel Cortez started and tossed 4.2 scoreless innings, but Wilson also dropped their second contest: 1-0 on a walk-off homer.

[Ro Mueller]

In Friday's 13-9 ACL defeat, Alexander Frias, Juan Martinez and Jonathan Rangel reached base 11 of 12 times, with 6 RBIs.

In today's 7-4 victory, they reached base 10 of 14 times, with 4 RBIs.

[wallus]

Are there underlying things that show any of these ACL guys are gonna be good?

I remember seeing a lot of things about Made and Pena.

[wibadgers23]

Made really needed a game like the one he had last night.  He has been struggling mightily in June.
