Posted June 24th: And like that, Santana was released today, after only eight DSL games with the Crew. Must be something else at play, why scout an 18-year-old (with knowledge of the Marlins' 2013 season), sign him, but drop so quickly? Take care, Gueris...

His suspension will extend into 2014 in order to serve all 50 games, so very unlikely they would make an exception for the AFL.

Sorry, but no chance that's happening. As Andrew Gruman points out today in this article, Lara will take part in instructional league this fall. There are no formal box scores or reports on that, but game action against other clubs does take place.

Learned today that Josh Prince's Huntsville DL stint (since 7/21) is due to an oblique injury. No word on a return, imagine it could be some time.

The only formal word now is this note via Adam McCalvy: #Brewers farmhands will play for Glendale Desert Dogs in this year's @MLBazFallLeague. (Huntsville pitching coach) Chris Hook will be one of the pitching coaches. *** Might as well make this a speculation thread. Normally I don't like suggesting repeaters to the league, but depending on the status of his oblique rehab, RHP Tyler Cravy makes sense. You have to be concerned with overall innings, but Brevard RHP Tyler Wagner deserves the nod. Seems like it should be Tyrone Taylor's AFL year, SS Yadiel Rivera makes sense, to make it three pitchers and three position players, add RHP Damien Magnifico and why not reward 2B/UT Nathan Orf with a stint as well in a hope to develop a Skip Schumaker type. Chime in, please -- select six as you see fit.

Jim Henderson scheduled to throw for Nashville tonight, then Brewers must make a decision on his status.

Final: @Huntsville 5, Chattanooga 4 Stars Come Back Late To End Losing Streak Steve Jarnicki, Huntsville Stars SHAW DELIVERS GAME WINNER FOR STARS Stars walkoff on Chattanooga Steve Jarnicki, Huntsville Stars Huntsville, AL - The Huntsville Stars came back for the second straight night against the Chattanooga Lookouts late in the game to pull out a victory. Nick Shaw’s two-run double in the bottom of the ninth gave the Stars a 5-4 win over the Lookouts Monday night at Joe Davis Stadium in Huntsville. The Stars were trailing 4-2 entering the bottom of the ninth. Jhan Marinez (5-1) came in looking for his first save of the season for the Lookouts. Robinzon Diaz led off with an infield single. Two batters later with one out, Kentrail Davis singled into right field. With runners at first and second base and with one out, Marinez got Shea Vucinich to hit a ground ball to third baseman Daniel Mayora. Mayora was trying to start a potential double play and his throw to second went into right field loading the bases. Pinch hitter Adam Weisenburger then worked a bases loaded walk scoring Diaz making it 4-3. Shaw then came to the plate and drove a pitch over right fielder Jeremy Hazelbaker’s head for a game winning two-run double scoring Davis and Vucinich. Tim Dillard (5-1) earned the win out of the Stars bullpen. Dillard pitched two scoreless innings. The Lookouts took a 2-0 lead in the first inning as they capitalized on back to back fielding errors by shortstop Yadiel Rivera. O’Koyea Dickson and Daniel Mayora produced back-to-back RBI singles. The Stars tied the game in the bottom of the first on a two-run homer by Hector Gimenez, his first of the season with the Stars. The Lookouts took a 3-2 lead in the second off Huntsville starter Eric Marzec on an Angel Sanchez RBI single. The Lookouts took a 4-2 lead in the fifth on Hazelbaker’s RBI triple. Marzec took a no-decision after pitching five innings. He allowed four runs (two earned) on seven hits. Marzec also walked five and struck out four. The Stars (18-20, 64-44) lead the Lookouts (13-23, 39-67) 2-1 in their series which continues Tuesday. The Stars will have LHP Jed Bradley (3-5, 4.25) on the mound. Chattanooga will send RHP LHP Chris Reed (4-5, 3.19) to the hill. The game can be heard starting at 3:45 pm CDT on 92.9 FM, 1450 AM and wtkiradio.com. Huntsville Box Score Stars won despite fanning 14 times (1B Nick Ramirez now with 119 in 401 AB's), throwing two wild pitches, and committing three errors. Walkoffs heal all wounds! Huntsville Game Log Huntsville Bottom of the 9th Pitching Change: Jhan Marinez replaces Daniel Coulombe, batting 6th. Robinzon Diaz singles on a ground ball to shortstop Angel Sanchez.

Final: @AZL Indians 13, AZL Brewers 4 Maryvale Box Score Not a lot of drama for the Maryvale bunch in the last week or so, they either crunch or get crunched, unfortunately more of the latter -- last seven games, oldest to most recent: 10-3 (L) 20-3 (L) 17-6 (W) 16-5 (L) 9-3 (L) 12-2 (W) 13-4 (L) Props to 22-year-old 31st round UNC-Charlotte RHP Brock Hudgens for some semblance of sanity here - his three scoreless innings gives him eleven innings without an earned run this summer (three unearned runs). Maryvale pitchers put 21 men on base, seven via walk. 30th round RHP Taylor Stark, also 22, had his first forgettable outing. Several of these Maryvale pitchers have had decent outings, but there seem to be many more blow-up type stints than we can remember in recent seasons. Overall, it's just too easy to get too high or too low in these Arizona numbers, we shouldn't read too much into them until Wisconsin and beyond, but it'd be nice to see more consistency overall. Monte Harrison with outfield error #7, that's a bit disconcerting, but it's all about the learning curve. LH bat Tanner Norton singled and walked twice, but he's not slugging at all, and he's been shoehorned into the first base slot for now at 6'0", 190. Maryvale Game Log The Brewers took a 3-0 2nd inning lead, so we may as well highlight that -- AZL Brewers Top of the 2nd Tanner Norton walks. Matt Martin singles on a fly ball to right fielder Francisco Miguel. Tanner Norton to 2nd. Troy Stokes walks. Tanner Norton to 3rd. Matt Martin to 2nd. Leudi Otano out on a sacrifice fly to right fielder Francisco Miguel. Tanner Norton scores. Matt Martin to 3rd. With Jonathan Oquendo batting, Troy Stokes steals (15) 2nd base. Jonathan Oquendo lines out to first baseman Bobby Bradley. Jorge Quiterio doubles (1) on a line drive to center fielder Silento Sayles. Matt Martin scores. Troy Stokes scores. Monte Harrison grounds out, pitcher Thomas Pannone to first baseman Bobby Bradley.

Walkoff, Huntsville! Details a bit later...

Final: @Brevard County 5, Jupiter 4 Manatees hold off late rally to beat Jupiter, 5-4 Tyler Wagner goes six innings for team-high 10th win of the year By Justin Rocke / Brevard County Manatees http://www.milb.com/assets/images/3/3/4/72710334/cuts/Wagner_4.19_2_640x360_idf7r1cn_v3mxt0rw.jpg Manatees starting pitcher Tyler Wagner, seen here from a game earlier this year, allowed just two hits and one unearned run, as he lowered his Florida State League-leading ERA to 1.53 in the Brevard County Manatees 5-4 win over the Jupiter Hammerheads on Monday night at Space Coast Stadium. (Dennis Greenblatt/Hawk-Eye Sports Photography) VIERA, Fla. - Behind six stolen bases and another strong performance by Tyler Wagner the Brevard County Manatees defeated the Jupiter Hammerheads, 5-4 at Space Coast Stadium on Monday night. Wagner (10-4, 1.53 ERA) was phenomenal once again. The Florida State League All-Star went six innings and allowed just one unearned run on two measly hits, which tied a season-low. Wagner walked one and struck out four en route to his team-best 10th victory of the season. With tonight's performance, Wagner lowered his Florida State League-leading ERA to an incredible 1.53. If he continues his pace, the right-hander will record the best earned run average in the FSL since the Manatees (18-15 second half, 54-45 overall) were founded in 1994. Wagner's current mark is slightly better than the 1.66 ERA that Daytona's Courtney Duncan recorded back in 1997. Despite the strong start, Wagner barely held on to the victory, as Jupiter (10-26, 37-68) stormed back in the seventh and eighth innings. With the Manatees in front 4-1, Stephen Peterson came on to relieve Wagner to start the seventh and quickly the Hammerheads' bats came alive. Avery Romero lined a single to left and Chad Wallach immediately singled him to third. The next batter, Jesus Solorzano, grounded a ball through the hole between third and short. Romero scored easily and Wallach jogged into second, as the lead was trimmed to 4-2. That was all Jupiter would get in the frame. Peterson sandwiched a strikeout between fly outs to center to keep the Brevard lead intact. However, the 'Tees would get a run back in the bottom of the frame thanks to some incredible heads up baserunning by Orlando Arcia. After he reached on a single to begin the inning, he advanced to second on a ground out to third by Michael Reed. With two outs, on the first pitch, Cameron Garfield hit a slow roller towards short. Justin Bohn charged onto the infield grass, but the ball ricocheted off his glove and Arcia advanced to third on the error. However, Bohn overran the ball, as well. Noticing this, Arcia broke for home and scored without a play to push the lead back up to three. Jupiter's bats remained hot, as they peppered Peterson again to start the eighth. Colin Moran, Matt Juengel and Viosergy Rosa singled consecutively to start the frame, which chased the left-hander from the ball game. Mark Williams came on to halt the rally and started strong, as he forced Romero to ground one back to the mound to get the force at home. Yet, the attack was not over. Continuing to be a menace with the lumber, Chad Wallace roped his third hit of the night into left-center field. Juengel and Rosa scored, while Romero slid into third with the tying run, as the Manatees' lead was cut to 5-4. That was as close as Jupiter would get. Williams induced an inning-ending 6-4-3 double play off the bat off Solorzano to get out of the jam. In the ninth, the Hammerheads could not even sniff a baserunner. Williams recorded three straight air outs, two to center and one to second, to shut the door on his team-leading 10th save of the year. Brevard tallied their first four runs in the first and third innings. In the first, Nathan Orf hit the Manatees' first lead-off home run of the year on a shot the bounced off the left field foul pole. After Jupiter tied it on Wallach's first RBI, a double down the left field line, the 'Tees erupted for three in the third. Following Reed's go-ahead single to center, he initiated a double steal that allowed Arcia to swipe home. Reed would later score the third run of the inning on a wild pitch. Despite a terrific night at the plate, Brevard County took advantage of the catcher, Wallach, defensively. The Manatees swiped a season-high six bases, including a career-high three from Reed, en route to their second straight win. Three Manatees hitters - Orf, Arcia and Garrett Cooper - tallied multi-hit games. Cooper led all 'Tees with three hits, which was a season-best and also tied a career-high. The Manatees will look to make it three-in-a-row tomorrow, as they battle the Hammerheads again. First pitch at Space Coast Stadium is scheduled for 6:35 PM (5:35 Central). Hobbs Johnson (9-7, 3.13) will look to tie Wagner for the team-lead in wins against fellow right-hander Matt Milroy (0-5, 10.72). Brevard County Box Score Wonder how many scouts were in the stands tonight -- goodness, this age-appropriate (actually, better than age-appropriate) collection is so much fun to dream on. When does one T.W. replace another? (Wisconsin's Taylor Williams for Tyler Wagner). 21-year-old Michael Reed would be a fantastic target for any trade partner. Still just 19 (one more week), Orlando Arcia is second on the team to Tyrone Taylor in extra-base hits. Love the Brewers limited but always intriguing Venezuelan signing efforts. Brevard County Game Log Looking forward to the audio highlights in the AM...

Final: DSL Tigers 12, @DSL Brewers 3 DSL Brewers Box Score Commit five errors. Walk nine men. Allow eight stolen bases in eight attempts. Give up 13 hits, six for extra bases, including three home runs. Not a recipe for success. Bright spots - 17-year-old catcher Johel Atencio, DH'ing here, hit his first pro HR. Atencio's fellow 17-year-old Venezuelan, OF Joantgel Segovia doubled and walked in five plate appearances. Another 17-year-old (heck, he won't be 18 until next May), SS Franly Mallen, was 2-for-4 with an RBI, but also committed his 24th error. DSL Brewers Game Log Not sure why CF Nicolas Pierre was removed so early -- DSL Brewers Bottom of the 2nd Nicolas Pierre singles on a fly ball to right fielder Ariel Serrano. With Johel Atencio batting, wild pitch by Stanley Martinez, Nicolas Pierre to 2nd. Johel Atencio flies out to left fielder Felix G. Santana. Kevin Martinez strikes out swinging. Juan De Los Santos lines out to first baseman Bryan Tejeda. DSL Tigers Top of the 3rd Defensive switch from left field to center field for Joantgel Segovia. Defensive Substitution: Raphachel Colatosti replaces center fielder Nicolas Pierre, batting 4th, playing left field.

Posted upon his signing

Via Dustin in Helena -- Catcher Connor Narron joined the Helena Brewers today. Narron, a former 5th round pick for the Orioles, replaces Greg McCall who is back in Arizona for surgery on his torn meniscus. McCall will spend the rest of the summer in rehab at the Maryvale facility. Narron was released by the O’s in March after reaching as high as the Frederick Keys (A+) and spent the beginning of the year playing for the AZL Brewers. Through 11 games he hit .139 in 43 at-bats.

Moeller's Suter delivers for Brewers affiliate Scott Springer, Cincinnati.com http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/44b1c90230725952adb7f7665d4cbfd1a815cdf1/c=0-117-1202-1718&r=537&c=0-0-534-712/local/-/media/Cincinnati/2014/07/28/suterbrent.jpg (Photo: Thanks to www.milb.com/ Huntsville Stars) CHATTANOOGA – When most tourists pull into Chattanooga, Tenn., in the summer time, they're usually following those roadway birdhouses to Rock City or the obligatory following stops at Ruby Falls and Lookout Mountain. When Brent Suter hits town, he goes from bus to motel to ballpark. The Moeller High School 2008 graduate is a member of the Huntsville Stars of the AA Southern League, an affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. On July 10-14, they spent an extended weekend at AT&T Field; with the fans down by the river. Suter has been making fans from his Anderson Township days to Moeller to Harvard and throughout the Brewers farm system. Not drafted until the 31st round in 2012, the 6-foot-5 lefty leads the Stars in innings pitched and wins. "My changeup has been clicking," Suter said. "I've been keeping the team in the game. I've been averaging six, seven or eight innings a game." The former Crusader actually has done more than keep the Stars in the game, winning most and nearly throwing a no-hitter back in April. Fittingly, it came on Education Day at Huntsville's Joe W. Davis Stadium as Suter recently spent his offseason substitute teaching in the Forest Hills School District. Since the Ivy League, Suter has had stops in Helena, Wisc., and Brevard County, Fla., in addition to Huntsville. He began in the Rookie League as a reliever, but has been starting since 2013. Though a successful pitcher at Moeller his senior year (3-0. 0.89 ERA), teammates Greg Williams and Russ Oltorik had more wins and logged more innings. He developed more on the mound at Harvard and has honed his craft since. "Confidence, experience, mound presence and I've quickened my tempo a little bit," Suter said. "I've gotten more command of my pitches and I want to try and get a fork(ball) or cutter in the next year. I've been reading hitter's swings and throwing a lot more changeups to lefties than ever before." Though not currently on the Milwaukee 40-man roster, Suter would like to get an invite to big league spring training over the winter. "They just said finish the season strong and keep the momentum going into the offseason," Suter said. "I'm just trying to get myself in AAA." Playing for an NL affiliate, Suter has also enjoyed the offensive aspect of the game this season. At Moeller, he led the Greater Catholic League-South in runs batted in (30) in 2008 and hit a cool .389 while manning center field. Several times this season, he's helped his team with the lumber. Like many pro hurlers, he vividly recalls his first knock. "It was an 'oppo' double to left-center against Pensacola, the Reds affiliate," Suter said. "The guys were calling for me to do some stuff from the dugout." Brent's parents, Mike and Shirley, have logged a lot of miles this season between his brother, Troy, in Madison, Wisc., and the various outposts of the Southern League. They also still attend the occasional Moeller game and update their Crusader sons accordingly.

Huntsville Notes via Steve -- OF Kentrail Davis snapped an 0 for 17 skid with his go ahead two-run double in the eighth inning Sunday. Still it has had a slow month of July after batting .340 in June. In 22 games in July, Davis is batting only .131 with 6 RBI. Davis is just 4 for his last 45 (.114) at the plate in his last 17 games… SS Yadiel Rivera went 4-4 with two doubles. His four hits were the most since he had four hits on June 5th this season when he went 4-4 against Bradenton while playing for High-A Brevard County. Rivera’s career high is five hits July 18th, 2011 while playing rookie ball for Helena. In his last 15 games, Rivera is batting .420 (21-50) with 2 RBI. Rivera’s hot hitting started on July 10th… C Robinzon Diaz pinch hit in the seventh and delivered an RBI single. He stayed in the game and finished 1-2. Diaz extended his hitting streak to nine straight games and continues to excel at Joe Davis Stadium. All nine of his RBI have come in Huntsville. Diaz is batting .389 at home, compared to .214 on the road…2B Nick Shaw went 2-3 with an RBI. Since the All-Star break, Shaw is batting .353 with 12 RBI in 26 games. Shaw has the 3rd best batting average in the Southern League during the second half of the season. Jose Peraza of Mississippi has the highest batting average in the second half of the season at .364. When Shaw plays 2B, he is hitting .379 compared to just .231 when he plays SS…1B Nick Ramirez had two RBI Sunday. It was his third straight two-RBI game…C/INF/OF Hector Giminez went 0-3 and continues to climb out of his early slump since joining the Stars. He started just 1 for 16 in his first five games. In his last six games, he is now 6 for 23 (.261) with 2 RBI. Since the Stars clinched the 1st half championship they’ve gone 23-25.

Updates from the Voice of the Helena Brewers, Dustin Daniel (the McCall information posted earlier) -- Catcher Greg McCall has torn his meniscus and is headed back to Arizona for treatment. We will not be seeing him again this year in the Pioneer League. His expected recovery schedule is 4-8 weeks and he is currently unsure if he will be ready for Fall Instructionals. OF Elvis Rubio has also been sent down to Arizona for 15 days. In a three day period he was hit by two pitches and crashed into a chain link fence to rough up his knee. He has been riding the stationary bike daily and it should just be a precautionary move.
