RHP Jayden Dubanewicz (2.25 ERA in 16 Low-A IP) makes his High-A debut as Wisconsin need a Sunday home win over Great Lakes to capture a 4-2 series win. 1B Tayden Hall (.908 OPS in High-A/AA) 126 PAs) makes his second start after an 8-day absence.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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).

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).

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.

RHP Michael Fowler sent on rehab assignment to ACL Brewers from High-A Wisconsin

- Leonard Rijo’s transaction log now says he was assigned to ACL Brewers from DSL Brewers Blue yesterday

Luke Adams isn’t intimidated by a 6-0 deficit. Doubled and scored in the 5th inning. Smacked this 2-run homer in the 6th. Sounds trail 7-4 in the 7th frame.

Guessing this is a classic ACL MILB box score glitch, as it’s showing Cole Phillips starting at 3rd base for the ACL Brewers tonight. That’d be quite the comeback and story for the long-injured pitching prospect that we plucked in the Rule 5 draft (minor league portion). Must be newcomer Leonard Rijo instead. TBD.

The Timber Rattlers can sweep the day and clinch this week’s home series over Great Lakes with a win behind LHP Wande Torres (5.92 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, 8.9 K/9 in 48.2 IP) tonight. Castillo, Baez, Alastre and David Garcia enter as lineup changes from Game 1. 1 - Fischer - 3B 2 - Dinges - DH 3 - Adamczewski - LF 4 - Bitonti - 1B 5 - Dickinson - 2B 6 - Castillo - RF 7 - Baez - SS 8 - Alastre - CF 9 - Garcia - C X - Torres - P

Daniel Guilarte made his first home run in over a year count: 2-run oppo shot to tie the game 3-3.

- RHP Craig Yoho recalled by MLB Brewers from AAA Nashville (replacing injured Coleman Crow)

RHP Jaron DeBerry has a 15-inning scoreless streak and toes the slab first for AA Biloxi, who aim for a 3-2 series lead at Birmingham. C Matt Wood is catching for the 4th consecutive day.

Nashville have won 5 straight games and can clinch this week’s home series over Durham with a victory tonight. It’s a bullpen game led by RHP Easton McGee (3.90 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 9.0 K/9 in 30 AAA/MLB IP). 3B Luke Adams has 15-game on-base streak in AAA ball.

Red-hot RHP Carlos Carra (17.1 IP, 3 R; 20 Ks in last 3 starts) and Low-A Wilson seek to claim a 3-1 series lead at Hill City. 3B Filippo Di Turi has a 20-game on-base streak, though oddly with no multi-hit games in this stretch.

The High-A Timber Rattlers host Great Lakes for a doubleheader today, with RHP Ethan Dorchies starting Game 1 and looking to build on a solid last outing (5 1/3 IP, 1 R (0 ER, 5 Ks). 3B Andrew Fischer and RF Josiah Ragsdale have on-base streaks of 27 and 18 games, respectively.

DSL Brewers Blue are in a lightning delay tied 3-3 in the 5th inning, after throwing a wild pitch to allow the game-tying run with 2 outs in the top half of the frame. Just in case this game and its stats are wiped from existence, we should recognize the dominant first career start by 17-year old RHP Daniel Munoz (4 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 2 BB, 1 HBP, 7 Ks). 16-year old 3B Leanders Matos is also 2-for-2 with 2 doubles, an RBI and a stolen base (.391 AVG, 1.387 OPS).

RHP Lonell Downs assigned to DSL Brewers Blue from DSL Brewers Gold 19-year old Downs had previously been tagged as being on the 7-day injured list, but that's now been deleted from his transaction log. He pitched for Blue last season (11 games, 7 starts) and DSL-Brewers2 the year before (11 games, 3 starts) and is now looking for his first action of 2026.

Game Action: Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 16, Durham (Rays) 5 Box Score Via Clarksville Online, game details: Nashville Sounds Crush Durham Bulls 16-5, Remain Tied for First Place in International League As you’ve read, it was the DH Akil Baddoo (2-for-4, double, 2 walks, 4 RBIs, SB) show over the first 5 innings, during which he delivered a 2-run RBI single, stolen base, run-scoring walk, another walk and an RBI double to help build the Sounds’ lead to 8-3 by that juncture. C Jeferson Quero, 3B Ethan Murray (3-for-4, walk) and OF Luis Matos (2-for-5, walk, 4 RBIs) each added run-scoring hits in that 6-run fifth inning to put the game away early up 13-3. Eight Sounds’ batters notched at least one hit (15 in total), while the remaining player OF Luis Lara walked 3 times (the team had 12 of those, earned by 8 players). SS Jett Williams (2-for-5, 2 RBIs, SB), 2B Eddys Leonard (2-for-4, walk) and OF Greg Jones (2-for-3, double, 2 walks, 3 RBIs, SB) each had particularly productive offensive days. Video of several of those RBI hits are available on the Sounds' website. Always-solid LHP Thomas Pannone (5 IP, 3 R, 6 H, 1 BB, 7 Ks; 2.90 ERA) got the start, while each of LHP Jared Koenig, LHP Mark Manfredi and newcomer RHP Lyon Richardson tossed a scoreless inning of relief. However, there’s some concern about Koenig’s relatively low velocity, unfortunately, as noted in the Forum thread. Sounds’ Extras: Cooper Pratt’s absence from the lineup caused some ‘X’ buzz about a possible call-up to the Show, but the team cooled that with a helpful tweet. The team went 10-for-26 with runners in scoring position in an undoubtedly fun game for 6,886 home fans to take in. Victories elsewhere by Memphis (doubleheader sweep to even record with Nashville) and Rochester (0.5 games behind) leave record-chasing Manager Rick Sweet and the Sounds in a 3-horse race to capture the International League’s first half crown. Friday’s outlook: It’s a bullpen game on tap, as RHP Easton McGee (3.90 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 9.0 K/9 in 30 AAA/MLB IP) is set to make his third consecutive short start, with Nashville seeking to clinch a series win. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Birmingham (White Sox) 8, Biloxi 0 Box Score Via the Shuckers’ website, game details and we encourage readers to review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Coley Continues Terror in Leadoff Spot, Shuckers Fall to Barons Despite the blow-out (down 8-0 after 4 innings), the Shuckers actually had plenty of opportunities: 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position, stranding 12 baserunners (vs. 3 LOB for the Barons). Two 2-out, back-breaking 3-run homers did the major damage off of RHPs Yorman Galindez (3 IP, 7 R, 4 BB, 2 Ks) and Ryan Birchard (2 IP, 1 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 3 Ks; 3 inherited runners scored) in the 3rd and 4th innings, while LHP Jesus Broca (3 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 0 BB, 1 K) clamped down in his turn. Biloxi had the leadoff man aboard in each of the first 7 innings yet still ended up with a goose-egg on the evening. Offensive leaders included OF Mark Coley II (2-for-4, walk), 1B Blake Burke (2-for-5), 3B Eduardo Garcia (1-for-3, double, walk, SB) and OF Dasan Brown (1-for-2, 2 walks, SB). Shuckers’ Extras: Huge kudos to C Matt Wood, who sat behind the dish for 5 innings, giving him a total of 27 innings caught over the past 3 days. This likely arose out of necessity after Darrien Miller exited a game early on Wednesday. If Miller is not available on Friday, expect bullpen catcher Edgardo Ordonez to make his first minor league start since September 2025. SS Jesus Made did not have his best day (0-for-5, 3 Ks; .269 AVG, .767 OPS), while his middle infield tandem partner Dylan O’Rae had the evening off. Despite the defeat, Biloxi only trail Montgomery by 1.5 games in the Southern League South standings. Friday’s outlook: RHP Jaron DeBerry puts his 15-inning scoreless streak on the line, as Biloxi needs a win to inch back ahead for a 3-2 lead in this week’s series. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Rain Out: Great Lakes at Wisconsin Via the Timber Rattlers’ website, rain out details: Thursday’s Wisconsin/Great Lakes Doubleheader Rained Out Wisconsin trail South Bend by 4.5 games in the Midwest League West standings but can hopefully make up serious ground on Friday. Friday’s outlook: Wisconsin and Great Lakes will make their third attempt to play a doubleheader (4:30pm CST start time for Game One), with RHP Ethan Dorchies and LHP Wande Torres listed as the scheduled starters and the Timber Rattlers presently leading this week’s series 2-0. Via WSCO's "The Show with Tony G and Leo" (download link): Voice of the Timber Rattlers Chris Mehring (go to the 08:20 minute mark) Via WSCO's "The Show with Tony G and Leo" (download link): Timber Rattlers RHP Josh Knoth, the 2023 1st round pick who missed the 2025 season after Tommy John surgery (go to the 42:20 minute mark) Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wilson 7, Hill City (Guardians) 3 Box Score Via the Warbirds’ website, game details: Warbirds Jump Out to Early Lead and Never Look Back The detailed game summary captures the Warbirds’ strong night on the road, as SS Brady Ebel’s 3-run homer helped the team build a 7-0 lead by the 5th inning before they allowed a few runs across late. Starting RHP Miqueas Mercedes (3 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 3 BB, 3 Ks) and relief RHP Hayden Robinson (3 2/3 IP, 2 R, 2 H, 3 BB, 6 Ks) kept the Howlers scoreless through 6 1/3 innings, while RHP Ismael Yanez (1 1/3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 0 Ks) helped Robinson strand 2 of 3 inherited baserunners. Every Wilson batter reached base via hit or walk, though OF Juan Ortuno (2-for-4, walk) delivered the team’s only multi-hit game and Ebel (1-for-4, HR, walk, 3 RBIs) had their only extra-base hit. Warbirds’ Extras: The 18-year-old, left-handed hitting Ebel, who had commenced the season with a rough 2-for-37 stretch, has lifted his season OPS to .787 in 265 plate appearances. For Ortuno, this was his first appearance in the outfield since 2024 in the Dominican Summer League and first time ever patrolling center field. The team has been taking it relatively easy with Mercedes since an early May injury (lifted after 50 pitches), while the 64 pitches tossed by Robinson were his highest total since a June 2024 injury. Friday’s outlook: RHP Carlos Carra has been impressive of late (17 1/3 IP, 3 R, 20 Ks over last 3 starts) and aims to lead Wilson to a 3-1 series advantage. Final: ACL Brewers 5, ACL Mariners 2 (in 7 innings) Box Score 3B Yu-Lin Liao (2-for-2, HR, walk, 3 RBIs) and RHP Chase Bentley (4 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 0 BB, 6 Ks) led the Zona Crew to a come-from-behind victory to even their record at 15-15. Liao’s second inning homer tied the game 1-1 and 1B Roderick Flores (1-for-3, RBI) doubled to plate Liao in the 5th inning to knot things up again at 2-2. OF Brailyn Antunez (1-for-3, double, walk), OF Alexander Frias (1-for-3, 2 SBs) and Liao each collected hits in a 3-run penultimate frame which gave the Crew its first lead and helpful insurance runs. 19-year-old Bentley had entered for rehabbing starter RHP Daniel Corniel (3 IP, 1 R, 3 H, 0 BB, 2 Ks) in the 4th inning, conceding a solo homer to the first batter faced before the next 14 batters went 1-for-14 against him. It wasn’t easy however, as an error and double had him in a 2nd and 3rd, nobody out jam with the game tied 2-2 in the 5th inning, before he staged a great escape with back-to-back-to-back strikeouts swinging. Each team only notched 5 hits in this game, as the rest of the Brewers’ lineup (i.e. those not mentioned above) went a combined 0-for-15 with 2 walks, 8 strikeouts and 2 stolen bases. The squad is set to face the ACL Angels (17-14) at Tempe Diablo Stadium on Friday night. Final: DSL Brewers Blue 15, DSL CLE Mendoza 7 Box Score A 6-run second inning propelled the Blue Men (6-2 record) to a 6-2 advantage, while a 4-run fourth inning restored breathing room to make the game 11-5 by that point and enable the team to coast to victory. January 2026 $1.6 million signee SS Diego Frontado (2-for-3, HR, double, walk, HBP, 3 RBIs, SB; 1.039 OPS) had some of the game’s biggest hits, including a 2-run double for a 4-2 lead and a solo homer in the 6th inning, though he exited alongside C Sebastian Franeites (2-for-4, double, walk, 3 RBIs, SB; 1.270 OPS) after playing 6 innings. Eight position players collected at least one hit, as the offense totaled 13 hits, 10 walks and 2 HBPs. Also, in the 2-hit club were OF Enrique Lovera (2-for-3, triple, 3 walks, 2 RBIs), INF Cristian Montilla (2-for-4, double, walk, 2 RBIs) and OF/INF Jesus Mancera (2-for-5, triple, RBI), while 1B Angel Gonzalez and 3B Leanders Matos both homered. Starting 17-year-old RHP Steven Duran (4 IP, 5 R, 3 H, 6 BB, 3 Ks) struggled a bit, while 19-year-old RHP Lukas Gonzalez (2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 3 Ks) produced the game’s top pitching line. The Blue squad hosts Red Sox Red (2-5) on Friday. Final: DSL Brewers Gold 12, DSL CLE Goryl 9 Box Score The Golden Men (3-5 record) stunned their opponents with a 9-run ninth inning to flip a 9-3 deficit into a 12-9 victory, highlighted by 3B Ricki Moneys’ grand slam, 2B Josue Rodriguez’s game-tying RBI double and OF Jefer Lista’s 2-run single to take the lead. The team did lead 3-2 before allowing 7 unanswered runs in the middle innings, but managed to escape a bases loaded, 1-out jam in the 7th frame to apparently keep the game “close” at only down 9-3. 20-year-old RHP Wandy Cabrera (1 2/3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 2 Ks) earned the win, working around a double, wild pitch and walk in the 8th inning before slamming the door with a 1-2-3 bottom of the 9th. Lista (3-for-4, walk, 2 RBIs; .588 AVG), Rodriguez (3-for-5, 2 doubles, RBI; .375 AVG), SS Santiago Garcia (1-for-3, 2 walks) and OF Angeni Fernandez (2-for-4, HBP; .400 AVG) each had solid offensive days, while Fernandez also added an outfield assist. RHP Miguel Andrade (3 2/3 IP, 5 R, 8 H, 2 BB, 1 K) got the start and RHP Gustavo Garcia (3 1/3 IP, 4 R (3 ER), 2 BB, 0 Ks) handled bulk relief. The Gold team plays at Padres Gold (5-2) on Friday. We hope that you enjoy the Minor League Link Report.
