Sunday's Birthdays:

On the big-league side, happy 29th to RHP Dustin May.

ACL Brewers RHP Jhosep Ospino turns 22 today. The third-year pro, a native of Colombia, was a Maryvale rookie in 2026. And yes, we have to look up how to spell his first name each occasion he's mentioned.

AAA Nashville finish up their home series against Louisville, leading 4 games to 1. LHP Colton Gordon (11 IP, 4 R, 13 Ks over last 2 starts) toes the slab first and SS Ethan Murray comes in with a 19-game on-base streak.

19-year old RHP Carlos Carra returns from injury (last pitched August 22) for Low-A Wilson in their final game of their inaugural 2026 campaign. A win at Fredericksburg would give them a .500 record at 65-65. LF Kyle Jones has a 13-game on-base streak.

The High-A Timber Rattlers also play their final game of the 2026 season, in their case needing a win at Beloit to even this week’s series 3-3. RHP Ethan Dorchies makes his second start of the week (5 IP, 2 R, 6 Ks on Tuesday). 1B Eric Bitonti’s 25 HR and 88 RBIs are just 1 short of the Midwest League lead in both categories, while RF Luis Castillo’s 89 RBIs have him tied for the league lead.

AA Biloxi host Birmingham in their final regular season home game of 2026, aiming for a series-clinching victory. 21-year old RHP Josh Knoth makes his second start of the week (5 IP, 4 R, 4 Ks on Tuesday). 1B Andrew Fischer has 8 homers and 17 RBIs in his last 9 games.
