Thursday's Birthday:

DSL Brewers Gold catcher Moises Salazar, who we've been Link Report highlighting all season, finally graduates to "age 17" status.

After one MLB appearance and one MILB relief outing, LHP Thomas Pannone (4.01 ERA in 74 AAA IP) re-enters the starting rotation for AAA Nashville, who are seeking a 2-1 home series lead over Indianapolis. C Darrien Miller has a 16-game on-base streak.

23-year old RHP Braylon Owens is coming off 2 solid outings (10 IP, 2 R, 12 Ks), so should be the right man to snap AA Biloxi’s 7-game skid. 1B Andrew Fischer has a .967 OPS over his last 79 PAs.

Low-A Wilson shoot for a 3-0 home series lead over Columbia behind RHP Jarrette Bonet (3 IP, 0 R, 3 Ks in relief last week). LF Kyle Jones is 4-for-10 with 2 RBIs and a stolen base to start his career.

High-A Wisconsin trot out a strong lineup behind RHP Josh Knoth (11 IP, 3 R, 15 Ks over last 2 games) as they need to avoid an 0-3 series deficit at Cedar Rapids. SS Luis Pena has hit safely in 9 of his last 10 games.
