Wedesday's Birthdays:

On the big-league level, happy 30th to LH reliever JoJo Romero.

Switch-hitting middle infielder CJ Hughes, drafted in the 11th round in 2025 out of a California high school, turns 19. Hughes smacked 15 extra-base hits among his 36 hits overall and worked walks and HBP's to a .378 OBP with 16 steals in 21 attempts in his age 18 rookie season. He'll need to work on that 44% K rate this offseason, however.

I wonder if anyone in the history of the Brewers' organization has received less attention for a 20+HR, 90+RBI season than Luis Castillo?

RHP Coleman Crow (2.05 ERA with 47 Ks in last 48.1 IP) follows up Thomas Pannone’s perfect game, as AAA Nashville seeks to grab a 2-0 series lead at Durham. SS Eduardo Garcia is 4-for-8 with a homer and 2 stolen bases over his last 2 games.

He certainly has some new prospect life. Good arm too with lots of assists. People will really believe if he does it in AA.

21-year old RHP Bishop Letson (9.2 IP, 3 R, 14 Ks over last 2 outings) makes his final regular season start of 2026, as AA Biloxi aim to tie up their series at Pensacola. LF Josh Adamczewski has an 11-game hitting streak.

It's certainly a notable season. It's a fantastic change from where his trajectory was headed. I think he needs to prove it, tho, with another plus season. He really struggled in 2025. Is this real? I sure hope so!
