AAA Nashville and Gwinnett have resumed yesterday’s rain-suspended 0-0 game with the bases loaded and nobody out for the Stripers in the 1st inning. RHP Jake Woodford is the first pitcher of the day, entering to attempt to clean up this inherited mess. This week’s home series is tied 2-2 and they’ll play a second game after this one.

- RHP Will Childers transferred to Development List by AAA Nashville

Jose Anderson started today’s game with a single and double to lift his season average to .198. If he can get a hit in 1 of his next 2 at-bats, he’ll reach .200. C’mon Jose!

RHP Tanner Gillis makes his second start of the week (6 IP, 0 R, 4 Ks on Tuesday) in Montgomery, as AA Biloxi seek to polish off a 5-1 series victory. 1B Mike Boeve has a 17-game on-base streak, CF Jacob Hurtubise 16 games.

High-A Wisconsin look to start a new winning streak and have the right man on the mound and top 5 in the batting order to get the job done. RHP Braylon Owens makes his 2nd home start of the week against Cedar Rapids (5 IP, 0 R, 8 Ks on Tuesday). RF Josiah Ragsdale’s on-base streak is 31 games.

20-year old LHP Joey Broughton (8 IP, 3 R, 9 Ks in Low-A ball) and Wilson are shooting for a Sunday victory in Fredericksburg to earn a 3-3 series split. DH/OF Handelfry Encarnacion has a 5-game hitting streak and an .801 season OPS with a 57 BB / 65 K ratio.

Game Action: Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Suspended in 1st inning: Gwinnett at Nashville Box Score Via a Sounds’ press release, suspension details: Sounds, Stripers Suspended Sunday Night Starting RHP Gerson Garabito allowed a single and two walks to the first three batters of the game before the game was suspended for rain. Sunday’s outlook: Nashville and Gwinnett will play a twinbill to decide the fate of this week’s knotted series (2-2), with Manager Rick Sweet having to decide whether to stick with Garabito or go even deeper into Nashville’s bullpen for Game 1. LHP Thomas Pannone is the scheduled starter for Game 2 on 4 days’ rest (4 IP, 4 R, 3 Ks on Tuesday). Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 10, Montgomery (Rays) 3 Box Score Via the Shuckers’ website, game details and we encourage readers to review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Letson Masterclass, Offensive Firepower Lead Shuckers to Series Win This game was actually tight until the 6th inning, with C Matt Wood throwing out a baserunner to help keep a 4-3 advantage in the 4th inning, then a 3-6-3 ground ball double play (yes, Blake Burke plays legitimately solid defense at first base) eliminating the Biscuits’ leadoff runner in the 5th frame. And of course, Burke (2-for-5, HR, 4 RBIs) also obliterates baseballs, adding his league-leading 18th tally via this 3-run shot in the first inning. After making 7 consecutive outs as a team, SS Jesus Made (3-for-4, triple, walk, SB, 3 runs) opened the 6th inning with a walk and Wood (1-for-4, HR, 3 RBIs) delivered his own 3-run dinger four batters later to blow open the contest. 21-year old starting RHP Bishop Letson polished off his exceptional June with aplomb (7 IP, 3 R (2 ER), 6 H, 2 BB, 1 HBP, 8 Ks; .93 pitches), while RHP Jack Seppings (2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 1 K) faced the minimum over the final 2 innings. OF Mike Boeve’s .279 AVG and .767 OPS are quite respectable. He had a 1-for-3 day with a homer and a sacrifice fly: Shuckers’ Extras: Letson in April: 7.36 ERA, 1.77 WHIP in 14 2/3 IP. In May: 4.41 ERA, 1.35 WHIP in 16 1/3 IP). In June: 2.25 ERA, 1.19 WHIP in 16 IP. His June K% is also up (24.6%), while his June BB% is down (10.1%). Even though Burke and 3B Andrew Fischer both committed their 9th errors of 2026, I stand by my ascertain that the big bombers are solid defensive players. Some veteran options to restore Biloxi’s catching depth include David Garcia (presently in High-A) and Andrick Nava (presently the third string catcher in AAA). Sunday’s outlook: 25-year old RHP Tanner Gillis makes his second start of the week (6 IP, 0 R, 4 Ks on Tuesday), with Biloxi aiming to close out a 5-1 series victory. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Cedar Rapids (Twins) 5, Wisconsin 4 Box Score Via the Timber Rattlers’ website, game details: Kernels Stop Rattlers Win Streak with Late Rally Despite the late stumble which ended Wisconsin’s 6-game winning streak, the Timber Rattlers’ fantastic media team has still compiled the video highlights here: That was a detailed YouTube video which included the opposition’s 3-run 8th inning that turned the tide, as well as OF Josiah Ragsdale’s double off the top of the wall to start the attempted 9th inning rally, DH Marco Dinges’ intensity after striking out, OF Braylon Payne’s rocketed groundout and 3B/1B Eric Bitonti’s final swing which might have been a walk-off 2-run homer on most days. Actually, it should have been a game-tying homer for Ragsdale, per Chris Mehring’s linked game report – “Replays showed the ball hitting high off a support post for the left field lofts for what should have been a game-tying home run.” Where’s VAR? Where’s the replay challenge? That report also covers Wisconsin’s difficulties with runners in scoring position and multiple outs on the basepaths. The Timber Rattlers stranded 9 baserunners, while Cedar Rapids only stranded 3 baserunners. Starting RHP Jayden Dubanewicz (5 1/3 IP, 2 R, 1 H, 3 BB, 5 Ks) was exceptional, retiring the first nine batters faced before conceding a full count walk and an RBI triple to open the 4th inning. That was the only hit conceded by Dubanewicz and I guarantee you that Ragsdale believes he should have made the diving catch in right field (watch the replay again). RHP Chandler Welch (1 IP, 3 R, 1 K) deserved better than to concede three runs, as both singles that preceded the gut-punch homer were of the infield variety. Timber Rattlers’ Extras: Each of Ragsdale (1-for-3, double, 2 walks, SB; .952 OPS), Payne (1-for-3, 2 walks, 2 RBIs; .981 OPS) and OF Luis Castillo (0-for-1, 3 walks) reached base 3 times for the good guys. Kudos to RHPs Jose Nova (1 2/3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 3 Ks) and Michael Fowler (1 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 0 Ks) for their solid relief work. With the recent injury to Nashville's Ramon Rodriguez and the corresponding promotion of Darrien Miller from Biloxi, Dinges (1-for-4, double, walk, RBI; .879 OPS) would be perfectly placed to head to Biloxi if not for the shoulder impingement which has prevented him from catching since May 5. Sunday’s outlook: 23-year-old RHP Braylon Owens is set to make his second start of the week (5 IP, 0 R, 8 Ks on Tuesday), with Wisconsin aiming to close out a 5-1 series victory. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Game One Final: Fredericksburg (Nationals) 7, Wilson 4 Box Score Game Two Final: Wilson 4, Fredericksburg 3 (in 7 innings) Box Score Via the Warbirds’ website, game details: Wilson, Fredericksburg Split Doubleheader These teams resumed Friday’s rain-suspended game with the contest tied 1-1 in the 4th inning and Wilson having 2-on, 1-out, with 2B Luis Lameda and 3B Filippo Di Turi immediately delivering a run-scoring single and sacrifice fly to hand RHP Carlos Carra a 3-1 advantage. Carra (4 IP, 6 R, 5 H, 4 BB, 3 Ks; 77 pitches) allowed 2 walks and a run-scoring single in the bottom half of the frame, before the teams raced through the middle innings (16 batters, 16 outs). Unfortunately, Carra tired with 2 outs in the 7th inning, allowing a 2-run homer, then a 3-run blast. The second contest was more enjoyable for the Road Warbirds, welcoming back 6’8” starting RHP Jacob Morrison (2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 2 BB, 3 Ks; 3.12 ERA) from a recent injury (the 20-year-old last pitched on May 30) and having always-stout LHP Jose Meneses (2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 4 Ks; 1.95 ERA) close out the come-from-behind victory. OF Handelfry Encarnacion had three of the team’s seven hits in the win, knocking in the game-tying run and scoring the winning run. He was 4-for-8 with 2 doubles across the two games, while OF Alexander Frias was 3-for-7. Warbirds’ Extras: LHP Enderson Mercado (3 IP, 3 R, 3 H, 6 BB, 5 Ks; 75 pitches) covered the middle innings in the second contest and earned the win despite some control challenges. SS Juan Ortuno (1-for-3, walk, 2 runs) and DH Jadyn Fielder (1-for-2, walk, SB, run) both reached base twice in the victory. RHP Joshua Quezada (1 IP, 1 K) tossed a scoreless inning of relief in the early defeat. Sunday’s outlook: After pitching only one inning in the past 11 days, 20-year LHP Joey Broughton (2.42 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, 10.9 K/9 in 22 1/3 IP) gets the start, with Wilson needing a victory to salvage a 3-3 series tie. Final: ACL Brewers 14, ACL Reds 10 (in 7 innings) Box Score Trailing 8-2 after three innings, recently promoted SS Leonard Rijo (4-for-5, 2 doubles) catalyzed the rally with a leadoff double in the 4th inning, scoring on OF Brailyn Antunez’s 110.9mph RBI single. An inning later, Rijo singled to put runners on the corners with 1 out, trailing 8-4, after which six of the next seven Brewers reached base via walk or hit-by-pitch, with C Jonathan Rangel (1-for-3, triple, 2 walks, RBI) earning a full count RBI walk to grab a 9-8 lead. The onslaught continued with Rijo (102mph) and Antunez (111.4mph) both doubling in the 6th inning, before veteran C Eric Martinez (1-for-3, HR, 2 HBP, 6 RBIs) hit a first pitch grand slam to extend the advantage to 14-8. Antunez matched Rijo’s 4-for-5 day, with a double and 2 RBIs. OF Gerlyn Payano (0-for-1, 3 walks, HBP, RBI) also reached base 4 times, 2B Juan Martinez 3 times (1-for-3, 2 walks, RBI). 18-year-old RHP Diustin Mayorquin earned the win with five innings of relief work (4 R (3 ER), 7 H, 2 BB, 1 HBP, 2 Ks), retiring the final 4 batters of the game after the Reds had narrowed it to 14-10 with 2 runners on in the penultimate frame. Starting RHP Bryan Regalado struggled this time out (2 IP, 6 R (5 ER), 3 H, 3 BB, 2 HBP, 1 K). The sterling comeback lifted Zona Crew’s season record to 22-20. Final: DSL Brewers Gold 6, DSL Brewers Blue 5 (in 7 innings) Box Score The Golden Men battled back from a 4-1 deficit with five unanswered runs from the 4th to the 6th innings, before holding on in the final frame via OF Ruben Revost gunning down potential game-tying runner Enrique Lovera at home plate on a fly out double play to left field. The victory lifted the Gold team’s record to 8-12, while the Blue Men suffered a second consecutive close defeat to fall to 13-7. SS Ricki Moneys led off the game with a triple, then stole home for a quick 1-0 lead for Brewers Gold, but Brewers Blue responded with its first four batters reaching via hit or walk to claim a 2-1 first inning lead on 2B Leanders’ Matos’ 2-run single. After the Gold team stranded the bases loaded in the 3rd inning, the Blue Men scored on a balk and a OF Frandy Lafond (1-for-3, RBI, SB) single to grow their advantage to 4-1. The Gold comeback came via a run-scoring error, two RBI ground outs, a run-scoring double play and another run-scoring error. 18-year-old RHP Raymond Sarmiento (4 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 2 BB, 1 K) got the deserved win in relief for the Gold squad, facing the minimum from the 4th through the 6th innings before the dramatic final frame. Three other pitchers got in significant work for the combined teams: RHP Jesus Vasquez (4 IP, 5 R (3 ER), 1 K), RHP Adrian Bello (3 IP, 4 R, 2 Ks) and RHP Alejandro Bustamante (3 IP, 1 R, 3 Ks). Moneys (1-for-2, triple, 2 walks, RBI, 3 SBs) had the game’s only extra-base hit, while Lovera (2-for-4, SB) and SS Jose Rodriguez (2-for-4, RBI, SB) delivered multi-hit games. The two catchers each reached base three times: Moises Salazar (0-for-1, 3 walks), Sebastian Franeites (0-for-1, 2 walks, HBP), although they were run ragged on the defensive side: combined 12 stolen bases on the afternoon.

Thank you very much 🙏

Setback for Griffin Tobias? Last rehab outing was June 2nd. Any news on Gabriel Colmenarez? He pitched in the ACL last season and has just sort of disappeared. And Isais Chavez? On the restricted list since early March. Thanks for any nuggets you’re able to provide.

After dropping the first leg of today’s doubleheader in Montgomery, the AA Shuckers could still grab a win in the nightcap behind RHP Manuel Rodriguez (just 2 IP in last 12 days). C Matt Wood and RF Mark Coley II enter as line-up changes for Game 2.

21-year old LHP Wande Torres (5.2 IP, 0 R, 8 Ks in a solid last outing) gets the chance to lead High-A Wisconsin to clinch this week’s home series against Cedar Rapids. CF Braylon Payne has an 8-game hitting streak.

24-year old RHP Tyson Hardin has been terrific in 7 AAA starts (2.25 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 9.2 K/9 in 40 IP) and looks to lead Nashville to a 3-1 home series lead over Gwinnett. RF Greg Jones is back in the lineup after exiting Tuesday’s game early. SS Freddy Zamora sees his first action in 6 days.

6’6” LHP Andrew Healy (5.14 ERA, 1.71 WHIP, 9.3 K/9 in 35 IP) makes his 7th start (14th appearance) as the Low-A Warbirds need a win at Fredericksburg to even this week’s series 2-2. CF Handelfry Encarnacion is 7-for-16 with 8 walks over his last 5 games.

They’re halfway through the first game of AA Biloxi’s doubleheader at Montgomery, but here’s the starting lineup nonetheless. RHP Jaron DeBerry aims to lead the squad to a 3-0 series lead. OF Jacob Hurtubise is 6-for-9 with 5 RBIs in his last 2 games.

As detailed in Nishant Brahme’s linked game report which includes three highlight videos, the Sounds used the long ball (3B Brock Wilken’s 388-foot solo homer), then small ball (OF Tyler Black’s full count walk earned via challenge, stolen base, scored on sac fly) to grab a 2-0 lead by the 4th inning. A massive “Job well done” to RHPs Junior Fernandez (2 IP, 1 K) and Peter Strzelecki (welcome back! – 1 IP, 2 Ks) for facing the minimum number of batters over the final 3 frames. DH Jeferson Quero (2-for-3, sac fly, 2 RBIs) and C Ramon Rodriguez (2-for-3) notched 4 of the team’s 7 hits and the Sounds were also stout defensively (3 double plays turned). Sounds’ Extras: Time will tell whether the 26-year-old Richardson (4 IP, 0 R, 2 H – both singles, 1 BB, 3 Ks) will be stretched out further, but it would solve a starting pitcher depth challenge that skipper Rick Sweet has been managing for at least three weeks. Three fifth inning walks issued by RHP Reiss Knehr (2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 4 BB, 1 K) thankfully produced zero runs and Nashville’s staff did not allow any hits after the 3rd inning. After pitching 16 games for the Sounds from March-May, Strzelecki’s contract was selected by the Brewers, but he didn’t see game time. He then tried his luck with the Yankees’ AAA team for six games before opting out and returning to Nashville. Friday’s outlook: 24-year-old RHP Tyson Hardin is ready for his 8th AAA start (2.25 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 9.2 K/9 in 40 IP), with Nashville looking to claim a 3-1 series lead. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Rain Out: Biloxi at Montgomery Via the Shuckers’ website, rain out details: Shuckers, Biscuits Postponed Due to Rain at DABOS Park Biloxi leads the series two games to zero and the teams will hope to be able to play two games on Friday. Friday’s outlook: RHPs Jaron DeBerry and Manuel Rodriguez are scheduled to start the doubleheader, with Biloxi aiming for a sweep to clinch this week’s road series. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wisconsin 9, Cedar Rapids (Twins) 1 Box Score Via the Timber Rattlers’ website, game details: Eight-Run Second Inning is Enough for Wisconsin As usual for home games (but let’s not take it for granted), enjoy the video highlights compiled by Wisconsin’s terrific media team: And be sure not to miss the 16-minute Mehring-Timm post-game podcast, featuring RHP Ethan Dorchies, OF Josiah Ragsdale and Manager Nick Stanley. As you’ve read, seen and heard from the above links, SS Luis Pena (1-for-3, double, HBP, 2 RBIs) returned from a 16-day absence for a sore hamstring and all is right in Timber Rattler Land. Dorchies (7 IP, 1 R, 5 H, 1 BB, 3 Ks) worked around a 1st inning double, then a walk and an error in the 2nd frame to deliver his best start of 2026, likely comforted by the Udder Tuggers’ 8-run, 12-batter second inning. Every starting position player reached base via hit or walk, with Ragsdale (2-for-5, double, 2 RBIs), OF Braylon Payne (2-for-5), C David Garcia (2-for-3, HBP) and OF Tayden Hall (1-for-3, double, HBP, 2 RBIs) having particularly productive evenings. Timber Rattlers’ Extras: RHP Quinton Low continued his recent run of solid form with two scoreless innings of relief: 2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 3 Ks. He’s unscored upon over his last 7 innings with 12 Ks. Friday’s outlook: LHP Wande Torres gets the call as Wisconsin seeks to clinch a home series victory. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Fredericksburg (Nationals) 13, Wilson 3 Box Score Via the Warbirds’ website, game details: Fredericksburg Charges Past Wilson After retiring 5 of 7 batters to open the game, starting RHP Enniel Cortez allowed three consecutive 2-out RBI hits in the 2nd inning, then the first four batters of the 3rd inning reached via hit or walk to blow open the game. A strike ‘em out, thrown ‘em out double play to end that frame kept the contest at 6-0. OF Handelfry Encarnacion (2-for-2, double, walk, sac fly, RBI) had opened the game with a single, but was erased via a ground ball double play and the Warbirds did not collect their 2nd hit until the 5th inning, while already trailing 11-0 by that point. RHP Tyler Renz’s relief effort started poorly via three straight walks in a 5-run fourth inning, but he ultimately gave the team 3 innings of work to ease the bullpen strain (7 R, 6 ER, 6 H, 5 BB, 3 WP, 3 Ks). On the more positive side, RHP Ismael Yanez pitched two hitless, scoreless innings with 3 strikeouts, but 4 walks blemished his numbers (43 pitches, 20 strikes). SS Brady Ebel also had a decent stat line: 1-for-3, double, walk, RBI. Warbirds’ Extras: Other lowlights Thursday evening included an 0-for-10 effort with runners in scoring position, as well as 3B Juan Ortuno’s 10th error of the 2026 campaign. 1B Tyler Rodriguez’s on-base streak is now 19 games long after he drew a walk. Hot 18-year-old prospect OF Alexander Frias had an 0-for-4 game, but with no strikeouts. Friday’s outlook: LHP Andrew Healy gets the start, with Wilson needing a victory to even the series at two games apiece. Final: ACL Brewers 7, ACL Cubs 5 Box Score Starting RHP Chase Bentley (4 1/3 IP, 2 R, 2 H, 2 BB, 1 HBP, 10 Ks) struck out 10 Cubs and 1B Roderick Flores (1-for-2, HR, 2 walks, 2 RBIs) delivered a 2-run homer in the 5th inning to take a 3-2 lead in this competitive contest in 106-degree heat. Tied 3-3 entering the bottom of the 6th inning, 2B CJ Hughes (1-for-3, HR, walk, 2 RBIs) restored the Zona Crew’s lead with a 2-run, 107mph homer, with 3B Yu-Lin Liao (1-for-3, HR, walk, 2 RBIs) following with another 2-run homer three batters later to grab a 7-3 advantage. The Cubs narrowed the gap to 7-5 with 1-on, 1-out single in the 7th inning, but RHP Luke Roupe (3 IP, 2 R, 5 H, 1 BB, 2 Ks) induced a ground ball double play to preserve the lead. One inning later, there were 2-on, 1-out, when he induced another GIDP to get out of that mini-jam, closing out the 3-inning save one inning later. This game marked the return of OF Kenny Fenelon (2-for-5, SB) after a nine-day absence, restoring necessary position player depth. On-base machine SS Juan Martinez was solid yet again: 1-for-2, double, 2 walks, SB; 1.093 OPS. RHP Argenis Aparicio (1 2/3 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 0 BB, 1 K) collected the win in middle relief. Both teams notched three home runs and struggled with runners in scoring position (combined 2-for-13), but the Brewers’ strong defense (3 double plays, 0 errors) keyed their victory (vs. 0 DPs and 2 errors for the Cubs). Final: DSL Brewers Blue 9, DSL Padres Gold 8 Box Score The Blue squad trailed 4-0 early and 7-4 late but stormed back with a 5-run eighth inning to grab the lead and then hold on in a dramatic island affair that included a 73-minute rain delay in the 4th inning. They improved their record to 13-5. After a 1-out hit-by-pitch and two walks, DH/INF Jose Rodriguez (3-for-5, 2 doubles, 3 RBIs), C Sebastian Franeites (1-for-4, triple, walk, 2 RBIs; .989 OPS) and 3B Leanders Matos (1-for-3, 2 walks, RBI, 2 SBs; .999 OPS) delivered consecutive RBI hits to take a 9-7 advantage before the Padres sent their second baseman to the mound to stop the bleeding. RHP Jean (JC) Rodriguez had entered in relief in the top of the 8th inning with the Blue Men trailing 7-4, 2-on and nobody out, bearing down to strand the two baserunners (K, K, ground out). After the offensive outburst to take the lead, JC then conceded a single and an RBI triple to commence the 9th inning, putting the potential game-tying runner 90 feet from home plate with nobody out. JC amazingly escaped again though, getting a ground out, fly out and ground out to strand the runner and preserve the one-run victory. Every Brewers’ Blue batter reached base via hit or walk in the contest, including solid days by 1B Angel Gonzalez (1-for-2, 3 walks, RBI, SB), OF Frandy Lafond (2-for-5, RBI; 1.017 OPS) and SS Diego Frontado (1-for-4, double, walk; 1.053 OPS). Nobody distinguished themselves on the mound, though 17-year-old RHP Steven Duran handled the largest share of the work (4 IP, 4 R, 6 H, 1 BB, 1 HBP, 2 Ks). RHP Justin Lugo (3.38 ERA) is usually much sharper than this: 2 IP, 2 R, 1 H, 3 BB, 4 WP, 4 Ks. We hope that you enjoy the Minor League Link Report. On Friday, a whopping eight minor league games are scheduled for Brewers’ affiliates, starting with the DSL clubs at 10:00am CST and ending with ACL Brewers at 8:00pm CST.
