AAA Nashville got a win yesterday and need another at home against Charlotte to avoid a series loss. RHP Carlos Rodriguez threw 48 pitches 4 days ago (3.2 IP, 1 R, 0 Ks), so expect a short start. Unsung C Andrick Nava has homered in 2 of his last 3 games.

Nice to see 35-year old RHP Kevin Herget reach the majors for the 5th consecutive season, despite missing 3 months due to injury this year.

The Friday DSL Brewers battle which was abandoned due to rain with 2 outs in the top of the 4th inning was a scoreless pitchers’ affair to that point. Some positive stats wiped out: RHP Daniel Munoz - 2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 3 Ks RHP Marcos Veras - 2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 2 Ks RHP Jesus Vasquez - 1.2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 1 K RHP Jean Rivero - 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 1 K 1B Angel Gonzalez - 1-for-1, double SS Ricki Moneys - 1-for-2, CS LF Ruben Revost - 1-for-1

It’s a doubleheader for High-A Wisconsin today, who are leading their home series 2-1 over Lansing. 20-year old RHP Josh Knoth has been in a rough patch (19 R, 19 Ks in last 19.1 IP). CF Braylon Payne has 5 consecutive multi-hit games.

Yup, we've been playing it thin with Quero not catching, Ramon Rodriguez injured and Matt Wood still in AA ball. Happy to add 26-year old Naylor to the mix and hoping that both he and Yoho ultimately thrive. It looks like Naylor has 1 minor league option remaining, so he doesn't actually need to win a full-time Major League spot until 2028.

Raised in Florida, 22-year old OF Nick Monile was signed as a non-drafted free agent out of the University of North Florida in August 2025. Sent straight to Low-A Wilson, he debuted on April 4, 2026 and had a nightmare 1-for-44 start to his career with 10 BB, 26 Ks, 0 RBIs and 0 SBs. However, he rebounded from there with a 6-for-18 stretch with 10 BB, 5 Ks, 1 HR, 6 RBIs and 7 SBs. Monile even reached base 4 times in his final appearance on June 23. We wish him a world of success in his next endeavor. 19-year old RHP Ayendy Bravo from the Dominican Republic was part of the January 2024 international signing class, debuting in the Dominican Summer League in June 2025. A terrific 2.15 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 50.1 DSL innings saw Bravo promoted to the Arizona Complex League in June 2025. He initially battled admirably at that level (3.60 ERA, 13 Ks through 15 IP) before a 4 ER, 0.2 IP final game in 2025. Unfortunately, he never gained his footing in 2026, bouncing between Low-A Wilson, ACL Brewers, High-A Wisconsin and back to the ACL. He posted a 10.08 ERA in 25 IP with 17 Ks and 37 free passes (34 BB, 3 HBP) in this topsy-turvy 2026 campaign. We hope that Ayendy finds great success in his next opportunity. Also part of the 2024 class, 20-year old Nicaraguan RHP Josue Toledo debuted in the DSL in June 2024. He produced a 5.51 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 8.5 K/9 in 78.1 DSL innings over 2 years before moving stateside in 2026. As a reliever in the ACL this year, Josue threw 13.2 innings, striking out 17 while issuing 22 free passes (18 BB, 4 HBP) and delivering a 7.90 ERA. We wish Josue success in whichever adventure comes his way next.

20-year old RHP Jarrette Bonet has been a steady performer (33.2 IP, 15 R (12 ER), 32 Ks in last 7 starts) and leads Low-A Wilson as they seek to grab a 3-1 home series lead over Fredericksburg. LF Jose Anderson is sadly in quite the rut (1-for-29 with 19 Ks, 1 BB).

Biloxi need another home win over Montgomery to even this week’s series. Fast-rising center field prospect Josiah Ragsdale has 7 homers in last 6 games. RHP Braylon Owens makes his 5th AA start (5.1 IP, 4 R (3 ER), 7 Ks last time out)..

AAA Nashville have dropped 10 of 13 games, but RHP Coleman Crow has been a bright spot (12 IP, 2 R. 12 Ks in last 2 starts). CF Brandon Lockridge makes his 5th rehab start (4-for-8 with a homer over last 2 games). The Sounds trail Charlotte 0-3 in this week’s home series.

- LHP Kyle Harrison sent on rehab assignment to High-A Wisconsin - RHP Deivy Gonzalez assigned to DSL Brewers Gold

LHP Kyle Harrison last pitched July 8 and makes his first rehab start for High-A Wisconsin, who seek a 2-1 home series lead over Lansing. CF Braylon Payne has delivered 4 straight multi-hit games.

AA Biloxi have dropped back-to-back 1-run home games to Montgomery and send out 23-year old RHP Jaron DeBerry (4.67 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 9.7 K/9 in 88.2 IP) to turn the tide tonight. 1B Blake Burke has an astounding 8 homers and 17 RBIs over his last 5 games.

6’6” LHP Andrew Healy is on a solid 3-game run (9 IP, 3 R (2 ER), 9 Ks) and leads Low-A Wilson as they shoot for a 3-0 home series lead over Fredericksburg. SS Brady Ebel has a 1.029 OPS in July to go with his 20-game on-base streak.

27-year old LHP Colton Gordon (6 IP, 4 R (0 ER), 2 Ks last week) makes his 3rd start since being acquired from Houston, as AAA Nashville need a home win to cut their 0-2 series deficit against Charlotte and old friend Shane Smith. C Darrien Miller has an 11-game on-base streak.

I'm pretty sure the team just snuck these previous moves into the log: LHP Tate Kuehner transferred to AAA Nashville's 60-day injured list from 7-day injured list on June 29 RHP Bryce Meccage transferred to High-A Wisconsin's 60-day injured list from 7-day injured list on June 29 RHP Jesus Flores transferred to High-A Wisconsin's 60-day injured list from 7-day injured list on June 29 LHP Anfernny Reyes transferred to Low-A Wilson's 60-day injured list from 7-day injured list on June 29 RHP Johandry Ramirez transferred to ACL Brewers' 60-day injured list from 7-day injured list on June 4

3B Andrew Fischer has homered in 4 consecutive games and RHP Yorman Galindez not allowed an earned run in 12 innings. Together they lead AA Biloxi at home against Montgomery, seeking to even the series.

It’s 24-year old RHP Tyson Hardin’s turn (4 IP, 2 R, 7 Ks last outing) to try to jolt AAA Nashville back to their winning ways, this time at home against Charlotte. DH Brandon Lockridge makes his 4th rehab start (2-for-10, 5 Ks, 0 walks, 0 EBHs, 0 SBs).

Low-A Wilson look to double their home series lead over Fredericksburg, with RHP Enniel Cortez (7.01 ERA, 1.88 WHIP, 8.3 K/9 in 34.2 IP) making his 8th start (13th appearance). 18-year old Brailyn Antunez has homered in his last 2 games and gets his first Carolina League action in center field.
