Eric Lauer pitched five shutout innings and Patrick Dorrian walked off Nashville’s win. Six pitchers contributed to Biloxi’s 2-1 victory. Carolina’s bullpen wasted a gem and Wisconsin also fell.

Transactions: N/A Game Action: Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 5, Charlotte 4 Box Score / Game Log Via the Sounds’ website, game details, and we encourage readers to review the affiliate write-up as part of their Link Report routine: Vihuelas Vanquish Caballeros, Walk-Off to Win Series With 1B Keston Hiura smacking his 21st homer (a two-run shot in the 1st inning) and starting LHP Eric Lauer cruising (5 IP, 0 R, 3 H – all singles, 1 BB, 6 Ks), the Sounds nearly coasted to victory before requiring late heroics. With two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning and left fielder Jahmai Jones on second base, Charlotte opted to intentionally walk Hiura (2-for-4 HR, walk, 2 RBIs) in favor of facing SS Patrick Dorrian and his streak of nine strikeouts in a row, with Dorrian then pulling the game winning single into right field on the first pitch he saw. Sounds’ Extras: Lauer started his second game of the week, throwing 76 pitches five days after delivering 67 pitches. His velocity peaked at 94.3mph in the 2nd inning. RHP Jason Alexander’s offseason may require him go back to the drawing board, following up his 2.84 ERA in AAA in 2022 with a 6.29 mark in 2023. He conceded the four Knights’ runs on this day, with RHP JB Bukauskas limiting further damage (two groundouts resulted in stranding two inherited baserunners). Seven Sounds collected hits, with good days in particular for DH Tyler Black (double, single) and Jones (single, 2 walks, RBI, 2 SBs). LHP Darrell Thompson worked around a leadoff single in the top of the 9th inning before retiring the next three hitters in order, thus earning the Win. Next week’s outlook: The Sounds (64-54) head to Gwinnett (55-63) to face the Braves’ affiliate. Expect RHP Caleb Boushley to start the opening game on Tuesday, with rehabbing Jesse Winker joining the squad at some point. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 2, Mississippi 1 Box Score / Game Log Via the Shuckers’ website, game details: Shuckers' Pitching Finishes Out Dominant Series with 2-1 Win While LHP Nick Bennett (3 2/3 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 1 K) and five other pitchers combined on 8-plus shutout innings, the Shuckers offense played a dangerous game by going 0-for-16 with runners in scoring position and stranding 11 baserunners. That 9th inning got more frightening due to an error on 3B Zavier Warren, bringing Mississippi to within 2-1 with two runners on base and just one out. Thankfully RHP Cam Robinson (1 IP, 1 R (0 ER), 1 H, 1 BB, 0 Ks) induced the game-ending 4-3 double play to second baseman Freddy Zamora, earning his 11th save in the process. Shuckers’ Extras: RHP Jacob Misiorowski was listed as the expected starter on five days’ rest, but there was always a chance the organization would give him an extra two days. Bennett had only thrown eight pitches (1 1/3 shutout innings on August 16) over the prior 11 days, so was the logical choice to start on late notice. RHPs Ryan Middendorf, Max Lazar and Zach Vennaro and LHP Russell Smith combined to cover 3 1/3 innings of scoreless middle relief, only allowing a single and a walk. Although OF Jackson Chourio and C Jeferson Quero were given a rest day, the team produced nine hits and four stolen bases, while C Jason Lopez gunned down the Braves’ only attempted basestealer. The best offensive days were had by right fielder Carlos D. Rodriguez (two doubles, SB), DH Wes Clarke (two singles, walk) and Lopez (two singles). Only one Mississippi batter had any hits (DH Luke Waddell: 4-for-4), with the other eight going 0-for-26. Next week’s outlook: Biloxi (60-54) returns home to host Marlins’ affiliate Pensacola (63-50). Expect Misiorowski to start the opening game on a full week of rest. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Cedar Rapids 4, Wisconsin 1 Box Score / Game Log Via the Rattlers’ website, game details: Kernels Beat the Rattlers 4-1 One pitch basically determined the outcome of this game, with neither team doing much on the game’s other 257 pitches. Unfortunately, that one pitch resulted in a game-altering three-run homer off starting RHP Edwin Jimenez (4 1/3 IP, 4 R, 3 H, 3 BB, 5 Ks) in the bottom of the 3rd inning. That fateful inning may also have turned out differently if 2B Mike Boeve had taken the sure out at first base instead of getting nobody out on a toss to second base earlier in the frame. Timber Rattlers’ Extras: Credit RHPs Nick Merkel and Tanner Shears for delivering 3 2/3 scoreless innings to give the Wisconsin offense a chance. They only conceded a single, walked none, hit one batter and struck out four. The Timber Rattlers had two runners on in each of the 4th and 5th innings, but didn’t really threaten thereafter. C Matt Wood highlighted the unfortunately limited offense – two singles, HBP, RBI. 3B Brock Wilken also singled and walked, though the first round draft pick committed his first error. Next week’s outlook: The Timber Rattlers (48-64) welcome Royals’ affiliate Quad Cities (50-64) to Appleton this week, with LHP Nate Peterson (3.66 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 10.4 K/9 in 59 IP) the anticipated starting pitcher on Tuesday. Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Kannapolis 8, Carolina 6 Box Score / Game Log Via the Mudcats’ website, game details: Carolina Collapses Late in 8-6 Finale Loss Prior to the late collapse, the story of the game was starting RHP Will Childers (6 IP, 1 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 3 Ks) and a balanced offense which saw seven Carolina players collect 10 hits. The two remaining starting position players both walked, while six different Mudcats had one RBI each. Unfortunately, for the second time in four days, the Mudcats’ bullpen let a big lead slip away, this time with RHPs Jeison Pena and Chase Costello conceding seven earned runs in the 7th and 8th innings to lose the game and the series. Mudcats’ Extras: Carolina had the potential game-tying runs on base with nobody out in the top of the 9th inning, but were unable to bring either of them home, as you’ll note at the Game Log link above. Right fielder Luis Castillo reached base his first three times up: walk, solo homer for a 4-1 lead, hit-by-pitch. Hopefully his exit for a pinch hitter in the top of the 9th inning was nothing to worry about health-wise. Players with two-hit days included 2B Dylan O’Rae (two singles, walk, SB), 1B Tayden Hall (two singles, RBI) and SS Gregory Barrios (double, single, SF, RBI). Next week’s outlook: The Mudcats (62-49) commence a 12-game homestand, with Royals’ affiliate Columbia (58-55) coming to town for six games this week. RHP Alexander Vallecillo is most likely to start the series opener. We hope that you enjoy the Minor League Link Report.

I guess he’ll just keep mashing…

1B Keston Hiura returns to the AAA Nashville lineup after a rest day, having hit safely in 15 of his last 16 games, LHP Eric Lauer makes his second start of the week at home against Charlotte. The Sounds need a win to clinch the series 4-2.

Yeah, that’s a choke job, unfortunately. Led 5-1 late. Had more hits, walks, extra base hits… 10 LOB vs. 5 LOB.

AA Biloxi strives to polish off a 5-1 series win at Mississippi, though with notable lineup absences. LHP Nick Bennett (4.77 ERA in 54.2 IP) gets the start. RF Carlos D. Rodriguez is having his best month (.843 OPS in 63 August PAs).

High-A Wisconsin has had a rough week, trailing 4 games to 1 at Cedar Rapids. 21-year old RHP Edwin Jimenez (3.90 ERA in 97 IP) starts today’s finale. 2B Mike Boeve has a 7-game hitting streak.

RHP Will Childers needs a bounce back start (6 ER in last outing) and Low-A Carolina welcomes 3B Luke Adams (.851 OPS in 356 PAs) back after a day off. The Mudcats need a win in Kannapolis to salvage a 3-3 series split.

- INF Abraham Toro optioned to AAA Nashville from MLB Brewers

Hiura is below Santana, Tellez and Canha in the MLB pecking order, after unfortunately blowing his roster spot in Spring Training which caused the team to reluctantly keep Voit. If we covet Hiura’s offense enough to promote him, it would likely require a DFA of Anderson or Taylor (both solid defenders) or option of Wiemer (for service time manipulation purposes). But I assume any of those moves would infuriate Counsell. Yes, if we promote Hiura, we have no easy way of ever sending him down again. We inexplicably burned his final option near the 2022 trade deadline, then DFA’d him early this year. No MLB team picked up his guaranteed $2.2m salary, so we exercised a one-time right to send him to the minors. If we promote again, then DFA again, any other team could claim him, but even if he goes unclaimed he’d have the right to reject the assignment to the minors and become a free agent. Oddly, we believe there’s a special provision which allows us to keep him on his minor league contract for one more year (since he has not yet burned through 7 minor league seasons) at half his 2023 salary. So we can basically do nothing and watch him return for $1.1m next year (though perhaps another team could claim in the Rule 5 Draft(?) - I’m not sure). Truth be told, he’s not diminished his value over the last 9 months, in my opinion, since the time that we guaranteed the $2.2m salary. He’s one of the best hitters in AAA. And he’s played a fair amount of mediocre first base and left field, as expected. So if he was worth $2.2m last winter, he must definitely be worth $1.1m for 2024. But if we promote him to the Majors for this stretch run (e.g. when MLB active rosters expand on September 1), I’m guessing that would shift him into another round of offseason arbitration at higher cost for 2024. At least that’s my understanding. What’s the right thing to do? Well, get his bat on the MLB roster of course. How should we do it? Maybe we need to restructure his contract to agree a 2024 salary (e.g. $1.1m guaranteed, with another $0.3m incentives), then immediately promote him. Option Wiemer for 13 days if we have to (or DFA Taylor or Anderson or put one of them on the injured list), now that Counsell is finally comfortable enough to play Frelick in center field.

- LHP Justin King placed on High-A Wisconsin’s 7-day injured list retroactive to August 17

Keston Hiura smacked his third homer in two days, this time a tie-breaking 2-run blast. Tobias Myers pitched 7 strong innings in Biloxi’s win. Carolina blew a 10-4 late lead and Wisconsin also fell. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Transactions: SS Eric Brown Jr. sent on rehab assignment to ACL Brewers OF Eduarqui Fernandez sent on rehab assignment to ACL Brewers Game Action: Final: Nashville 5, Charlotte 4 Box Score / Game Log Via the Sounds’ website, game details, and we encourage readers to review the affiliate write-up as part of their Link Report routine: Hiura's 20th Homer of Season Secures Sounds Comeback Win For the second game in a row, 1B Rowdy Tellez (2-for-3, double, walk, RBI) and DH Keston Hiura (1-for-4, HR, 2 RBIs) came through with the big hits to lead Nashville to a late comeback win. One can only imagine how they may have impacted a certain major league game in Los Angeles if they’d been called up already. In addition to Tellez’s game-tying double and Hiura’s game-winning 2-run homer in the bottom of the 8th inning, this game also featured starting RHP Colin Rea’s (5 IP, 3 R, 7 H, 0 BB, 6 Ks) first game action since being optioned by the Brewers 13 days earlier. See more highlights from the win at Nashville’s Twitter feed. Sounds’ Extras: 2B Patrick Dorrian actually sparked the turnaround with his organization-leading 20th home run of the season, a solo shot to cut the deficit to 3-2. Hiura’s blast brought him even with Dorrian at 20, with Keston doing it in just 73 games. A big credit goes to RHP Jason Alexander and LHP Darrell Thompson, who combined on three scoreless innings of relief while striking out five Knights. Every spot in the Sounds’ lineup reached base via hit or walk, including right fielder Josh VanMeter making it twice (single, walk) along with doubles for 3B Tyler Black and center fielder Monte Harrison. Per the article link above, this game was Manager Rick Sweet’s 300th win with Nashville. He has over 2,200 wins across several organizations in his storied managerial career. Friday’s outlook: LHP Robert Gasser (3.94 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 11.2 K/9 in 107 1/3 IP) is scheduled to hopefully lead Nashville to a 3-1 series advantage. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 6, Mississippi 3 Box Score / Game Log Via the Shuckers’ website, game details: Tobias Myers Goes Seven Innings, Leads Shuckers to Fourth Straight Win After some struggles last week, the Shuckers have truly turned over a new leaf in grabbing a 3-0 series lead over Mississippi, led this time by RHP Tobias Myers’ 7-strong innings (7 IP, 2 R, 6 H, 3 BB, 9 Ks, 1 WP). The Sounds collected 11 hits on 10 singles and a double, including multi-hit games for center fielder Jackson Chourio (3-for-5), OF Carlos D. Rodriguez (2-for-5, 2 RBIs) and 3B Zavier Warren (2-for-4, RBI). You’ll find several video highlights at the Biloxi Twitter feed. Shuckers’ Extras: The Shuckers’ defense came through with timely plays, including Myers picking off a baserunner to end the 1st inning, C Jeferson Quero throwing out an attempted basestealer to end the 2nd inning, a GIDP to end the 5th inning and another double play (of the 1-4-3 variety led by Myers) to defuse a two-on, nobody out situation in the 7th inning. Left fielder Isaac Collins and 1B Wes Clarke each reached base three times on a single and two walks. As per the game link above, RHP Cam Robinson notched his 10th Save, with August being easily his best month (1.17 ERA, 1.04 WHIP in 6 games) after a largely difficult 2023 (7.88 ERA in 33 games prior to August). Friday’s outlook: RHP TJ Shook (5.48 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 11.1 K/9 in 65 2/3 IP) gets the call as Biloxi aims to clinch a series victory. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Cedar Rapids 6, Wisconsin 2 Box Score / Game Log Via the Rattlers’ website, game details: Kernels Fifth Inning Too Much for Timber Rattlers Two runs weren’t going to be enough to defeat Cedar Rapids, but unfortunately the Timber Rattlers bats went quiet after the 5th inning. Prior to that fateful four-run 5th inning for the Kernels, starting RHP Alexander Cornielle (5 IP, 5 R, 5 H, 1 BB, 2 HBP, 2 Ks, 1 WP) had only allowed two hits – an infield single and an RBI double in the 1st inning. Timber Rattlers’ Extras: Left fielder Je’Von Ward (2-for-4, HR, RBI) and RHP Tanner Shears (2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 3 BB, 2 Ks) were Wisconsin’s players of the day. Shears entered an unenviable bases loaded, nobody out creation of LHP Karlos Morales in the 6th inning and needed only six pitches to escape (strikeout, ground ball double play) without any inherited runner scoring. Other than Ward, DH Brock Wilken was the only Timber Rattler to reach base twice (single, walk), including drawing the only base on balls issued by Cedar Rapids. Friday’s outlook: RHP Tyler Woessner leads Wisconsin in ERA (3.75 – minimum of 60 IP), so can’t be happy to be on a 5-game losing streak (with five other No Decisions). He gets the chance to end that personal streak and lead the Timber Rattlers to a 2-2 series tie. Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Kannapolis 11, Carolina 10 Box Score / Game Log Via the Mudcats’ website, game details: Mudcats Waste Big Lead in 11-10 Walk-Off Loss We didn’t foresee this collapse – blowing a 10-4 lead in the 6th inning by giving up seven unanswered runs. Now the Mudcats have work to do, trailing 2-1 in this series. On the positive side, 3B Jadher Areinamo (4-for-5, double, RBI, SB) collected four hits and right fielder Jace Avina (3-for-4, HR, double, walk, 2 RBIs) continued his two-month surge. Avina also gunned down the leadoff batter in the bottom of the 5th inning, who was trying to stretch a double to a triple while trailing 10-4. Mudcats’ Extras: The negative side was unfortunately the pitching across the board, with each of starting RHP Yujanyer Herrera, RHP Jeison Pena, RHP Tyler Wehrle and RHP Chase Costello conceding at least two runs. The 23-year old Costello’s collapse was quite unexpected, coming in with a 7-1 record and 2.53 ERA. He did have only one save entering this game (and still has only one save to go along with this one blown save), typically working as a multi-inning reliever, so perhaps the closer’s mindset will need to be worked on. Back to positives and negatives – the Mudcats didn’t have any errors (vs. two for the Cannon Ballers), but had two runners caught stealing and another picked off. Two-hits games were achieved by DH Luke Adams, left fielder Tayden Hall (in his first outfield start of 2023, after two OF starts in 2022) and Gregory Barrios, while center fielder Kay-Lan Nicasia reached base three times (single, two walks) and 1B Jesus Chirinos had an early 2-run home run and also walked. Friday’s outlook: RHP Patricio Aquino (2.82 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 9.2 K/9 in 70 1/3 IP) will try to lead the Mudcats’ rebound, needing a win to tie the series 2-2. Arizona Complex League Action Final: ACL Royals 10, ACL Brewers 0 Box Score / Game Log Don’t fade on us now, ACL Brewers. Their magic number to clinch the ACL Central remains two games, after dropping their second contest in a row and seeing the ACL Reds come back from a big deficit for their third straight win. The division lead is suddenly just 2.5 games. Rehabbing starting LHP Adam Seminaris took the loss, but showed that he may be ready for a return to full season affiliate ball: 3 IP, 1 R, 3 H, 0 BB, 3 Ks. Will we see him back in Biloxi soon? Other rehabbers: SS Eric Brown Jr. went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in his first game since July 1 Center fielder Eduarqui Fernandez went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in his first game since June 28 RHP Joseph Hernandez gave up 4 runs in 2 1/3 innings pitched. This was his third rehab appearance The team’s lone hits were singles off the bats of 3B Juan Baez (.976 season OPS) and C Edgardo Ordonez (season OPS .761). INF Cooper Pratt led off and started at second base, going 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base. He shifted over to shortstop for the final four innings. INF Eric Bitonti also went 0-for-3 with a walk, DHing in this game. Dominican Summer League Action Final: DSL Guardians Blue 4, DSL Brewers-1 Squad 1 (in 7 innings) Box Score / Game Log The Uno squad finds itself back even at 25 wins and 25 losses after dropping this contest, with just five games left on their season. 18-year old LHP Anthony Flores (3 IP, 2 R, 5 H, 0 BB, 7 Ks) got the start and didn’t concede any walks or extra-base hits, but was nickeled and dimed via five singles. Left fielder (and sometimes pitcher – with 8 games to his credit) Argenis Aparicio reached base three times, including a double, single and walk. He also stole second base, was caught going for third base and threw out a baserunner of his own going for third base. 3B Gery Holguin also doubled, while 2B Eduardo Charles had a single, a walk and was caught stealing. Center fielder Yophery Rodriguez’s late season fade continues: 0-for-3 with a walk to drop his season OPS to .877. But that’s nothing compared to SS Kevin Ereu’s nightmare: 0-for-4 with 3 Ks, stranding six baserunners in his at-bats. He struck out to end the game, dropping his season OPS to .556. Final: DSL Brewers-2 Squad 12, DSL Dodgers Mega 3 (in 7 innings) Box Score / Game Log Center fielder Pedro Ibarguen, who just turned 17 years old last month, is clearly this year’s DSL Brewers’ breakout position player, going 2-for-3 with a home run (his third of 2023), triple, walk and 4 RBIs in this victory. Ibarguen signed for just $60,000, but did get a nod from Baseball America as a potential sleeper. His season AVG is now .306 and OPS is .884 and with the terrific offensive performance have come premium opportunities in center field, where he’s made 10 starts in his last 23 games, after making zero starts there in his first 18 contests. 17-year old starting RHP Melvin Hernandez was decent once again (2 IP, 2 R (0 ER), 3 H, 0 BB, 2 K) but pitched just two innings. As such, it was 19-year old RHP Elias Gonzalez who did the heavy lifting: 4 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 3 BB, 4 Ks. That’s Gonzalez’s first official Win. On the other side, Dodgers Mega had a relief pitcher issue four walks and six(!) wild pitches without retiring a batter. Oh my. While Ibarguen collected the only extra base hits that the Dos young men generated, the game did see 3B Demetrio Nadal record two singles and each of DH Filippo Di Turi (3 walks), 1B Danny Puerta (single, 2 walks) and left fielder Antony Gomez (3 walks) reach base three times.

RHP James Meeker's low walk rate is incredible and I hope he gets a taste of AAA ball this year, with an eventual MLB call-up in 2024. RHP Nick Merkel has also done a terrific job limiting walks (78 Ks vs. 17 BBs), although the 5.24 ERA in High-A ball and age (25) give some pause. His OPS against in High-A is just .699 after registering .643 in Low-A, so he's worth monitoring. RHP Shane Smith is also an interesting arm - 23 - Low-A/High-A - 1.99 ERA. 0.95 WHIP. 71 Ks vs. 16 BBs in 49.2 IP. This is all coming after barely pitching in 2021 (college) and 2022 (MILB) due to injury and recovery. RHP Ryan Brady is also doing special things in his first full minor league season - 24 - High-A/AA - 2.88 ERA. 1.11 WHIP. 66 Ks vs. 17 BBs in 68.2 IP. LHP Luis Amaya dominated High-A ball, but is now trying to figure out AA - 24 - High-A/AA - 3.35 ERA. 1.10 WHIP. 54 Ks vs. 15 BBs in 53.2 IP. RHP Chase Costello is still sitting in Low-A for some reason. It's tough to assess him and whether his low K-rate will inhibit him until he's given some time at Wisconsin - 23 - Low-A - 2.53 ERA. 0.95 WHIP. 44 Ks vs. 15 BBs in 57 IP. LHP Justin King didn't stand out in Australia, but was exceptional early in the year for Wisconsin, then has recently struggled since return from injury - 25 - High-A - 3.25 ERA. 1.59 WHIP. 51 Ks vs. 21 BBs in 27.2 IP. Yes, he's striking out 16.6 per 9 innings! RHP Tanner Shears - last but certainly not least as he's raising eyebrows and expectations in his first season in affiliated baseball after half a year in independent ball - 24 - High-A/Low-A - 1.54 ERA. 1.34 WHIP. 65 Ks vs. 31 BBs in 41 IP.

Thanks for this. There are lots of intriguing outfielders throughout the system, some of whom will hopefully shock us with 2024 breakouts. Carlos D. Rodriguez is still relatively young, but likely needs to either develop 10 HR power or become a basestealing threat. Jace Avina has turned his season around over the past 2 months, so should get a big opportunity in Wisconsin next year.

Thank you for this article and similar ones on players at other positions. Taking another angle at this: 155 players have pitched for our minor league squads in 2023, including regulars, rehabbers, position players 100 players have thrown 20 innings or more Sorting those 100 by Batters Faced / Game, I'll take the top 45 on that list to zero in on Starting Pitchers. This includes guys like Eric Prado, TJ Shook and Jesus Rivero, but excludes players like James Meeker, Quinton Low and Aidan Maldonado Of these remaining 45 players, I'll sort by K/BB ratio and find: RHP Enniel Cortez - 17 - DSL ball - 44 Ks to 5 BBs. Wow. 1.55 ERA. 0.89 WHIP RHP Logan Henderson - ranked, not overlooked LHP Thomas Pannone - getting paid and hopefully having fun in Korea RHP Tobias Myers - 25 - AA - 123 Ks to 36 BBs. 5.47 ERA. 1.30 WHIP. Maybe we need to shift him to the bullpen? RHP Manuel Rodriguez - 18 - ACL - 34 Ks to 10 BBs. 4.35 ERA. 1.23 WHIP. He's the youngest pitcher that we have state-side. Listed at 6'2", so hopefully he'll find more velocity. Will he start next season in the ACL or at Low-A Carolina? RHP TJ Shook - 25 - AA - 81 Ks to 24 BBs. 5.48 ERA. 1.31 WHIP. Okay, these AA strikeout numbers are likely juiced by the pre-tacked balls used for over half the season RHP Edwin Jimenez - 21 - mainly High-A - 94 Ks to 29 BBs. 3.90 ERA. 1.19 WHIP. Just had two awesome outings in his last three appearances, going 7.1 IP each time LHP Anthony Flores - covered above RHP Melvin Hernandez - covered above LHP Robert Gasser - ranked, not overlooked Now re-ranking those 45 Starting Pitchers by WHIP: RHP Enniel Cortez RHP Logan Henderson - why has this man not yet been promoted to High-A? RHP Eric Prado - 17 - DSL - 1.70 ERA. 1.00 WHIP. 32 Ks vs. 14 BBs in 37 IP RHP Gabriel Colmenarez - 17 - DSL - 2.00 ERA. 1.03 WHIP. 24 Ks vs. 13 BBs in 36 IP. That's a pretty low K-rate, without a great K/BB ratio LHP Anthony Flores RHP Jesus Flores - just 21.1 IP LHP Thomas Pannone RHP Jesus Rivero - 20 - mainly Low-A - 3.21 ERA. 1.13 WHIP. 50 Ks vs. 18 BBs in 33.2 IP. Now we're talking RHP Carlos F. Rodriguez - ranked, not overlooked RHP Melvin Hernandez Now re-ranking those 45 Starting Pitchers by Strikeouts / Batters Faced: RHP Jesus Rivero RHP Logan Henderson RHP Jacob Misiorowski - ranked, not overlooked RHP Carlos F. Rodriguez RHP Daniel Corniel - 19 - ACL - 6.03 ERA. 1.66 WHIP. 47 Ks vs. 22 BBs. Our second youngest pitcher in ACL ball, but let's see some better results LHP Anthony Flores RHP Bryan Rivera - 18 - DSL - 3.94 ERA. 1.19 WHIP. 57 Ks vs. 23 BBs. One year too old for my liking, especially with that level of ERA RHP TJ Shook LHP Robert Gasser RHP Enniel Cortez So these would be my overlooked guys, although this leans toward younger players: Enniel Cortez Manuel Rodriguez Edwin Jimenez Anthony Flores Melvin Hernandez Eric Prado Jesus Rivero

Let’s hope that he has an excellent final four weeks of the season in Appleton. Game Action: Arizona Complex League Action Final: ACL Brewers 2, ACL Reds 1 Box Score / Game Log Our Arizona men were in control throughout to improve to 30-21 on the season, though cashing in runs was a challenge. The team’s two youngest pitchers, 19-year old starting RHP Daniel Corniel (5 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 8 Ks) and 18-year old Manuel Rodriguez (3 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 1 HBP, 6 Ks) combined on 8 innings of 14-strikeout baseball. Corniel’s work is all the more impressive considering that the first two batters of the game reached base (single + error, bunt single) to put him in a first-and-third, nobody out situation. He deftly evaded damage via a strikeout, then a line out double play. The offense was led by left fielder Miguel Briceno (two singles, RBI in 2nd inning), SS Cooper Pratt (two singles, RBI in 6th inning, SB), C Alejandro Rodriguez (double, walk, run scored) and 2B Juan Baez (single, walk), although the squad stranded 11 baserunners vs. just 5 left-on-base for the Reds. 24-year old RHP Bayden Root earned his first save in his second game with a three-up, three-down 9th inning. Oddity you may only see at Rookie levels: the Reds apparently stopped having their right fielder bat half-way through the game, skipping the fifth spot in the order two times. The game also featured the organizational debut of 15th round draft pick INF Josh Adamczewski. The 18-year old led off, DH’d and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts before being substituted. I’ve not seen any confirmation of playoff plans for the Arizona Complex League, but my guess is that the three division winners and one wildcard will square off next week. The ACL Brewers lead the ACL Central Division by five games over the Reds, with 5 games remaining for the Brewers and 7 games left for the Reds. Dominican Summer League Action Final: DSL Guardians Blue 3, DSL Brewers-1 Squad 2 (in 10 innings) Box Score / Game Log The Uno young men nearly pulled out a victory despite the Guardians generating much more traffic on the bases – 8 Guardians’ hits vs. 4 Brewers’ hits, 10 Guardians left-on-base vs. 4 for the Brewers. The loss drops DSL Brewers-1 to a record of 24-23. Credit the duo of 17-year old RHPs Gabriel Colmenarez (4 IP, 1 R, 0 H, 3 BB, 3 Ks, 1 WP; season ERA 2.00) and Eric Prado (4 IP, 1 R, 7 H, 2 BB, 4 Ks; season ERA 1.70) with another effective day, with Colmenarez keeping the Guardians hitless through four innings. C Luis Garcia (double, walk, RBI), center fielder Yophery Rodriguez (single, walk) and Kevin Ereu (single, RBI) delivered three hits in the squad’s two-run 4th inning to grab a 2-1 lead, but the team only managed one hit and one walk from the 5th through 9th innings. After escaping a two-on, nobody out jam in the 9th inning, 20-year old RHP Yonawil Florimon nearly pulled off a similar feat in the 10th inning, but a wild pitch brought home a run with two outs in the top of the 9th inning. The offense then went three-up, three-down in the bottom of the 10th inning to strand the ghost runner at third base in defeat. Final: DSL Angels 4, DSL Brewers-2 Squad 0 Box Score / Game Log From a hitting, fielding and baserunning standpoint, the shutout loss by our Dos squad only gets worse as you delve further into the box score: three singles with no extra base hits no stolen bases, but one player was caught stealing and two more were picked off three errors four stolen bases allowed, with nobody caught. That said, the pitching staff only allowed two earned runs, with 18-year old RHP Bryan Rivera (4 IP, 1 R, 4 H, 2 BB, 1 HBP, 3 Ks) and 19-year old Aneuris Rodriguez (4 IP, 3 R (1 ER), 3 H, 0 BB, 6 Ks, 2 WP) combining for nine strikeouts in eight innings of decent work. 17-year old Pedro Ibarguen made his ninth start in center field, collecting a single and a walk to lift his season AVG to .307 and OPS to .853. 2B Luis Lameda exited the game early after a groundout in the 3rd inning, so we’ll try to monitor his availability. The loss drops DSL Brewers-2’s season record to 19-29. We hope that you enjoy the Minor League Link Report. Enjoy Tuesday’s 9-game slate, including two DSL doubleheaders to start the day!

Edwin Jimenez went 7+ innings in Wisconsin’s win, while Freddy Zamora and Jeferson Quero combined for 8 RBIs in Biloxi’s high-scoring victory. Nashville was one-hit and Carolina also dropped its series finale. Image courtesy of Biloxi Shuckers - Photo of Freddy Zamora For the week, Nashville (4-2) and Carolina (4-2) were series winners, Wisconsin managed a 3-3 draw and Biloxi fought back but lost 4 of 6 games. Transactions: OF Skye Bolt activated from AAA Nashville’s 7-day injured list Game Action: Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Indianapolis 4, Nashville 0 Box Score / Game Log Via the Sounds’ website, game details, and we encourage readers to review the affiliate write-up as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Shut Out by Indy in Series Finale Nashville did not expect to be one-hit by 29-year old journeyman Beau Sulser and the Indians’ bullpen after Sulser struggled in Korea and gave up eight runs in his last outing, but that’s how this one played out. Even the Sounds’ one hit was weak: an infield grounder from 1B Keston Hiura in the top of the 4th inning when the game was still scoreless. Sounds’ Extras: RHP Caleb Boushley (4 IP, 3 R, 4 H, 0 BB, 2 Ks) limited Indianapolis to one hit in the first three innings before conceding two singles and a 3-run homer to derail his outing. His fastball topped out at 90.1 mph. The Hiura single came just after 3B Tyler Black made another successful ball-strike challenge, converting a full-count strikeout into a walk. That was the only time a Sound got into scoring position in the game, as the Indians retired 14 straight Nashville batters at one point. After an 0-for-4 day with 2 strikeouts, DH/1B Rowdy Tellez is now 2-for-18 in five AAA games. Will the Brewers require him to continue his rehab work in the upcoming week? The bullpen of LHP Clayton Andrews and RHPs Jason Alexander and Trevor Megill were respectable, allowing one run over four innings, although Alexander allowed five baserunners. Next week’s outlook: Nashville (60-52) returns for some home cooking, as they host White Sox’ affiliate Charlotte (41-73). Perhaps RHP Colin Rea will get a start, which would be his first appearance since August 4 with the Brewers. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 14, Tennessee 7 Box Score / Game Log Via the Shuckers’ website, game details: Freddy Zamora Grand Slam Powers Shuckers to 14-7 Win in Series Finale After escaping a bases loaded, one-out jam in the top of the 1st inning, the Shuckers took advantage of three walks, with SS Freddy Zamora (3-for-4, HR, walk, 5 RBIs) blasting a grand slam for their first hit of the game. The Smokies made two comeback attempts, cutting the deficit to 6-4 in the 4th inning and 7-6 in the 6th inning before Biloxi’s seven-run 7th inning put the game to bed. C Jeferson Quero (2-for-4, HR, walk, 3 RBIs) was just 1-for-14 skid since his return from injury, but broke out of it in a big way: Walking and scoring in the 1st inning Smacking a two-run homer in the 3rd inning to extend Biloxi’s lead to 6-1 Singling in a run to increase the lead to 8-6 in the 7th inning You’ll find many more video highlights of the Shuckers’ offensive explosion at their Twitter feed. Shuckers’ Extras: Others with two-hit games included right fielder Carlos D. Rodriguez (plus 2 RBIs), left fielder Isaac Collins (plus a walk and SB) and C Brent Diaz (plus an RBI and walk). Starting RHP Christian Mejias (3 1/3 IP, 4 R, 7 H, 4 BB, 5 Ks, 1 WP) unfortunately struggled again, with his ERA now up to 7.24 in 97 innings pitched. This follows a seven-run, two-inning start five days earlier, but the K-rate (9.8 K/9) and age (24) suggest there may be something more to be tapped into. Kudos to RHPs Max Lazar and Ryan Brady for combining on two scoreless innings with four strikeouts. Unfortunately, we’ll need to monitor the health of 1B Ernesto Martinez, who exited after walking and scoring in the 1st inning. He’s gotten off to a tremendous start since promotion to AA ball (1.171 OPS in 21 PAs), so we pray that nothing derails his momentum. Next week’s outlook: The Shuckers (55-53) head out to face the Mississippi Braves (49-57). RHP Jacob Misiorowski is the most likely starter for Tuesday’s series opener. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wisconsin 3, Dayton 1 Box Score / Game Log Via the Rattlers’ website, game details: Jimenez Pitches Rattlers Past Dayton As always for home games, we’re blessed with detailed video highlights along with the Mehring-Lobner post-game podcast. 21-year old RHP Edwin Jimenez (7 1/3 IP, 1 R, 4 H, 1 BB, 5 Ks) delivered his second exceptional performance in his last three starts, needing only 76 pitches to record 22 outs, before adding six pitches to the last batter he faced – a double which later scored to cut the Timber Rattlers’ lead to 3-1. All of Wisconsin’s runs came in the 1st inning, thanks to a double (1B Alex Hall), two singles (2B Mike Boeve, right fielder Hendry Mendez) and a walk (3B Brock Wilken). Wilken reached base three times in the game (two singles, walk). Timber Rattlers’ Extras: 23-year old RHP Shane Smith (1 2/3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 1 HBP, 2 Ks) only allowed two baserunners as he earned his third save in High-A ball, dropping his ERA at this level to 0.98 in 18 1/3 IP after recording a 2.59 ERA in 31 1/3 IP at Low-A earlier in the year. Let’s tip our cap to C Darrien Miller for gunning down the Dragons’ only attempted basestealer to end the top of the 8th inning after they’d tightened the game to 3-1. Former Brewers’ All-Star Corey Hart was on hand to deliver the ceremonial first pitch and hopefully impart some wisdom or serve as inspiration for the Rattlers and 5,372 fans in attendance. Next week’s outlook: Wisconsin (47-59) hits the road to take on Twins’ affiliate Cedar Rapids (66-42), with LHP Nathan Peterson (3.50 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 10.8 K/9 in 54 IP) scheduled to start the opening game on Tuesday. Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Delmarva 8, Carolina 4 Box Score / Game Log Via the Mudcats’ website, game details: First-Place Mudcats Fall 8-4 in Finale to Delmarva At this point we expect Carolina to dominate every game and we’re somewhat surprised when they don’t. Despite reversing an early 2-0 disadvantage thanks to a three-run, three-hit 3rd inning, things unraveled for starting RHP Will Childers (5 IP, 6 R, 6 H, 3 BB, 1 HBP, 3 Ks) in the top of the 5th inning: bunt single, walk, walk, grand slam. Mudcats’ Extras: 1B Jesus Chirinos is ready for a second crack at High-A ball if the Brewers will give it to him, putting up a 3-for-4 day with a double, walk, 2 RBIs and no strikeouts. Left fielder Jace Avina (single, 2 walks) and C Blayberg Diaz (2 singles) also had productive days at the plate. 2B Dylan O’Rae also stole his first base since his recent promotion. For Diaz, the field was a bit of a nightmare, however, conceding seven stolen bases (vs. one caught stealing) and committing two errors. Balls simply weren’t falling in for center fielder Luis Lara on this day: 0-for-5 with no strikeouts. His line drive out with two runners on to end the 6th inning (still trailing 6-4) was Carolina’s last decent chance to turn the game around. Relief RHPs Jeferson Figueroa and Jeison Pena delivered scoreless outings, but RHP Aidan Maldonado (1 IP, 2 R) is still trying to find his mojo after an up-and-down year. Next week’s outlook: The Mudcats (60-45) travel to face White Sox affiliate Kannapolis (55-52). RHPs Alexander Vallecillo and Jesus Rivero are likely to tag-team the opening game. We hope that you enjoy the Minor League Link Report. Monday will be a light day again, with the DSL squads in action at 10:00am CST and the ACL Brewers playing at 8:00pm, while even the Milwaukee Brewers will have the day off.

Today’s box score indicates that Hiura played all 9 innings at 1st base, largely struggling along with the rest of the squad. That said, he extended his on-base streak to 12 games. He’s not actually a good baserunner, so being pinch-run in the 9th inning or later is not unusual. If the front office thought Keston was worth $2.2m on a guaranteed MLB deal last offseason despite having no remaining options (though we could outright him), then I assume we have to keep him around for 2023 on a $1.1m minor league contract. He’s done nothing in 2023 to diminish his value, in my opinion, though of course my opinion means zilch.

Carlos F. Rodriguez and Evan McKendry earned wins for Biloxi and Nashville, with the latter sweeping a doubleheader. Jace Avina reached base five times Carolina’s victory, while Wisconsin’s bullpen collapsed in defeat. Image courtesy of Biloxi Shuckers and Carlos Hurtado - Carlos D Rodriguez Shown Transactions: N/A Game Action: Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Game One Final: Nashville 8, Indianapolis 0 (in 8 innings) Box Score / Game Log Game Two Final: Nashville 7, Indianapolis 1 (in 7 innings) Box Score / Game Log Via the Sounds’ website, game details, and we encourage readers to review the affiliate write-up as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Roll Indianapolis in Twin Bill Sweep After neither team scored in the first seven innings of their doubleheader, Nashville erupted for thirteen runs in two innings: Eight runs in the top of the first extra inning to blow open the first game, all with two outs as nine consecutive batters reached base Five runs in the top of the first inning of the second game to nearly put that game to bed early But the pitching was really the story of the day, with RHP Evan McKendry (6 IP, 1 R, 3 H, 3 BB, 5 Ks) throwing 101 pitches of one-run baseball in the second game to limit staff usage. Offensively, Owen Miller perhaps shone the brightest, going 3-for-7 with a HR, HBP and 3 RBIs. More interesting, Miller started the first game in center field and the second game in right field as he demonstrates his overall versatility. Sounds’ Extras: LHP Eric Lauer (3 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 2 BB, 4 Ks) started the opening game, increasing his workload to 52 pitches after throwing 41 in his last outing six days ago. The Brewers likely have to decide whether it’s worth it to stretch out Lauer further or have him focus on being a reliever. After retiring the first two batters in the first extra inning, the Indians intentionally walked 1B Rowdy Tellez (1-for-6, walk) to set up the force play (with the ghost runner on 3rd base), then promptly fell apart: wild pitch to score a run, BB, BB, BB run, HBP run, single for two runs, BB, BB run, single for two more runs. Indianapolis’ malaise carried over into Game Two, as they walked four batters and had a balk in the Sounds’ five-run 1st inning, with SS Cam Devanney capping off the inning with a two-run double. Let’s tip our caps to a perfect bullpen day, as LHP Clayton Andrews, RHP Trevor Megill, RHP Thyago Vieira and LHP Alex Claudio combined on six shutout innings with eight strikeouts. Regarding McKendry, this was the 25-year old’s second start since being acquired from the Rays, as he makes his case to be protected in the Rule 5 draft this winter. Friday’s outlook: LHP Robert Gasser (3.91 ERA with 124 Ks in 101 1/3 IP) will try to clinch the series win and continue his excellent form (e.g. 6 IP, 0 R, 10 Ks in last outing). Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 8, Tennessee 4 Box Score / Game Log Via the Shuckers’ website, game details: Shuckers Jump Into Tie for First with 8-4 Win over Smokies After dropping the first two games of the series, the Shuckers turned the ball over to Southern League July Pitcher of the Month Carlos F. Rodriguez (5 1/3 IP, 2 R (0 ER), 1 H, 4 BB, 1 HBP, 6 Ks, 2 WP) and he expectedly delivered the goods despite uncharacteristically having to fight some control issues. Offensively, the 6-7-8 batters came through for the club, with DH/1B Ernesto Martinez (2-for-3, double, walk, RBI), SS Ethan Murray (2-for-3, walk) and right fielder Carlos D. Rodriguez (2-for-3, double, 3 RBIs) combining on six hits and four RBIs, including scoring and driving in the first three runs of the game for a 3-0 lead by the 4th inning. You’ll find several video highlights at the Biloxi Twitter feed. Shuckers’ Extras: Some concern crept in when center fielder Jackson Chourio (0-for-2, no Ks) exited the game in favor of Lamar Sparks in the top of the 4th inning, but Adam McCalvy tweeted out a note of comfort that the move was precautionary due to some hand soreness after being jammed in his second at-bat. C Jeferson Quero also left the game early, but this was pre-planned as he eases his way back after a recent injury. Despite Rodriguez’ solid work on the mound, the Smokies made a game of it at 4-3 with a 3-run blast off RHP Ryan Middendorf in the top of the 6th inning. Two of the runs were unearned after a 2B Felix Valerio, who added a second error in the 9th inning which also scored an unearned run. For his part, Sparks decided to do his best Chourio impersonation, going 2-for-3, including a two-run homer and two stolen bases. The homer restored the Shuckers’ 4-run advantage in the bottom of the 7th inning. Friday’s outlook: RHP Tobias Myers gets a chance to lead Biloxi to even the series 2-2, as Myers seeks to build off his scoreless 5-inning, 7-K performance in his last appearance. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Dayton 9, Wisconsin 2 Box Score / Game Log Via the Rattlers’ website, game details: Dragons Ambush Rattlers in Sixth Inning Despite the loss, all should still partake of the video highlights compiled by Wisconsin’s media team. The final score certainly doesn’t tell the story here, as the Timber Rattlers led 2-1 after five excellent innings from starting RHP Alexander Cornielle (5 IP, 1 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 4 Ks). An RBI single in the bottom of the 2nd inning off the bat of SS Robert Moore (2-for-5, double, RBI) had given Wisconsin that 2-1 advantage before RHP Miguel Guerrero’s nightmare 6th inning: a walk followed by five consecutive hits, with no batters retired. Timber Rattlers’ Extras: Guerrero may need to forget this game or comfort himself with the fact that it was only 21 pitches. Yes, it was really only 21 pitches and we expect that much better days will be ahead for him. DH/3B Brock Wilken and INF (third baseman in this game) Mike Boeve weren’t able to dazzle the home fans like on Wednesday evening, combining on an 0-for-8 game with a walk for Boeve. Friday’s outlook: RHP Tyler Woessner (3.75 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 7.6 K/9 in 98 1/3 IP) gets the ball, with Wisconsin aiming for a 3-1 series lead. Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Carolina 12, Delmarva 3 Box Score / Game Log Via the Mudcats’ website, game details: Sibrian, Nicasia & Avina Power Mudcats to 12-3 Victory RHP Patricio Aquino (4 IP, 2 R, 7 H, 1 BB, 1 HBP, 6 Ks; 2.82 season ERA) usually doesn’t need much help, but undoubtedly appreciated the strong offensive support as the Mudcats won their sixth straight game. Center fielder Kay-Lan Nicasia (2-for-4, HR, HBP, 2 RBIs) delivered a two-run homer in the 2nd inning to give the Mudcats a 2-1 lead, then C Jose Sibrian (3-for-4, double, HBP, 4 RBIs) brought in two more runs with his 5th inning double to push the advantage to 5-2. Mudcats’ Extras: DH/OF Jace Avina (2-for-2, HR, 3 walks, RBI) manned the leadoff spot for the third time this year and came through by reaching base in all five plate appearances. Right fielder Luis Castillo and 3B Luke Adams each singled and walked twice as key parts of Carolina’s carousel. The bullpen of RHPs Jeison Pena, Yujanyer Herrera and Tyler Wehrle combined on five scoreless innings while striking out seven Shorebirds, with Herrera covering three of the innings. Friday’s outlook: RHP Will Rudy is scheduled to start, with the Mudcats trying to clinch a series win. Arizona Complex League Action Final: ACL Brewers 6, ACL Giants Orange 3 Box Score / Game Log Rather than promotion to full season affiliate ball, perhaps statues are being erected in Maryvale for 2B Dylan O’Rae (1-for-3, 2 walks, RBI, SB; .930 season OPS with 28 stolen bases) and SS Juan Baez (2-for-3, double, walk, RBI, SB; 1.029 season OPS) instead. Baez’ RBI double tied the game 1-1 in the 1st inning, while O’Rae singled in center fielder Luis Medina to extend the Brewers’ lead to 4-2 in the 2nd inning. After a miserable June (.317 OPS in 20 PAs) and below average July (.699 OPS in 42 PAs), Medina delivered his second straight solid game. He’s 4-for-8 with 10 total bases, 6 RBIs and just one strikeout in his last two contests. Similar to Medina’s mini-revival, 19-year old right fielder Reece Walling has also been putting together better numbers of late, including two triples in this contest. The starting pitcher on the day was RHP Yorman Galindez (5 IP, 2 R, 3 H, 3 BB, 5 Ks; earning his first Win of the year), while the bullpen of LHP Osbriel Mogollon and RHPs Brailin Rodriguez and Cristofher Carrasco (first Save) got the job done: 4 IP, 1 R, 4 Ks. Dominican Summer League Action Continuation Game (resumed from 2 outs in top of 10th inning) Final: DSL Braves 7, DSL Brewers-1 Squad 6 (in 10 innings) Box Score / Game Log Borrowing notes from @Mass_Haas and @sveumrules When Mother Nature intervened Tuesday it was quite late, the Braves had just scored the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th (on a wild pitch, sigh), and had the bases loaded with two outs looking for more. The Cerveceros had the same pitcher try to extract himself with his own inherited runners two days later, and 22-year-old 2nd-year RHP Roman Perez did just that, ending the inning with a backwards K. Looking to at least tie the game in the bottom of the 10th, Team Uno went down meekly, with two flyouts to left field wrapped around a strikeout. Game over. Brewer pitchers walked eight and plunked four in this game. The team's one error, on a pitcher pickoff, did not lead to additional damage, the club turned three double plays, and 17-year-old wunderkid Yophery Rodriguez, playing RF in this one, threw out a runner at third base, so defense was solid. Rodriguez (2-3, 2xBB, SB), Yannic Walther (0-2, 3xBB), and Tyler Rodriguez (1-2, BB, 2xSB) were busy on the bases while Wilfredo Cordero and Oliver Camilo had the only scoreless IP with a walk/strikeout each in each of their innings. Regularly Scheduled Game: DSL Brewers-1 Squad at DSL Braves – Canceled The Uno young men were not able to take their revenge, as the game was canceled due to lightning. The game will not likely be made up, due to limited remaining open dates for the two teams. Regularly Scheduled Game: DSL Guardians Blue at DSL Brewers-2 Squad - Postponed This game also never commenced due to lightning, but the teams intend to make up the game on Wednesday, August 16. We hope that you enjoy the Minor League Link Report. Enjoy Friday’s 8-game slate, including an early doubleheader for DSL Brewers-1.
