Thursday's Birthdays:

• Timber Rattlers RHP Jason Woodward is 24.
• Warbirds OF Pedro Ibarguen is 20.
• RHP Diego Trillo is 18. He signed out of Venezuela in January, but is currently on the DSL Brewers Gold 7-day injured list and has yet to make his pro debut.
• DSL Brewers Blue infielder Leanders Matos is 17. The young man has slugged five home runs in his first 20 professional games and is dazzling with a .311/.407/.622 line (1.029 OPS).

Fantastic news!

Most likely this is David's source, and the game won't be tonight but this afternoon (1;00 Central). The box score will be available via the initial post above.

So cool that Cairone's photo from Maryvale has been added to his MiLB Player Profile Page.

Congrats, Frank Cairone, his inning today -

Perhaps I missed something but Burke has been out of the lineup all week for Biloxi including tonight.  He last played Saturday and I don't believe he was taken out of the game early or anything?

[Ro Mueller]

RHP Tyson Hardin looks for a bounceback start (5 IP, 6 R, 5 Ks last week) as AAA Nashville shoots for a 2-1 home series lead over Jacksonville. DH Tyler Black has a 13-game on-base streak. 

[Ro Mueller]

After 3 relief appearances (5 IP, 5 R, 5 Ks), RHP Travis Smith makes his first AA start, as Biloxi aim to grab a 2-1 home series lead over Chattanooga. 3B Andrew Fischer’s on-base streak is an amazing 42 games!

He pulled up a bit hobbled in the 9th inning on his GIDP.  If you have access to MiLB TV, it's at the 3:13:28 mark of the game.  I have not seen any update since then

[Ro Mueller]

Low-A Wilson strive for a 5th consecutive win and a 3-0 home series lead over Kannapolis. RHP Jacob Morrison is starting on 4 days’ rest (2 IP, 0 R, 3 Ks on 43 pitches last week). After a rough June (.525 OPS), DH/C Rylan Mills had a big game yesterday (3-for-3, HR, double, walk, 3 RBIs).

[Ro Mueller]

SS Luis Pena (.807 OPS in 97 PAs) is back in action after exiting Wisconsin’s Sunday game early. 21-year old RHP Daniel Corniel makes his 1st ever High-A start, with the aim of taking a 3-0 series lead

[Ro Mueller]

Diego Frontado last played June 25.

Jeferson Quero last caught June 26, though he's been DHing.

Blake Burke last played June 27.

Does anyone have any inside info on Manfredi? Does he still sit 97-98 coming out of the pen like he did in Appleton?

His strikeout #'s are good and lefties are struggling against him ... but walks seem to be an issue throughout his short career thus far.

If he can settle in at AAA I wonder if he is a Koenig replacement as soon as next year?
