TRIPLEHEADER WEDNESDAY!!! From the Manatees -- FIRST GAME OF TUESDAY’S MANATEES/STONE CRABS GAME SUSPENDED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER VIERA, Fla. - Due to more inclement weather stemming from Tropical Storm Debby, the first game of the scheduled doubleheader on Tuesday, June 26 between the Brevard County Manatees and the Charlotte Stone Crabs has been suspended. Per the rules of the Florida State League, the game will be picked up at the point where it left off beginning at 11:00 AM (10:00 Central) on Wednesday, June 27. Brevard County and Charlotte will then play two seven-inning games following the completion of the suspended seven-inning game. When the game went into a delay, the Manatees were leading the Stone Crabs, 3-2 in the top of the fifth inning with a runner on first and one out. Since an official game was not played, fans with tickets from Tuesday's game can exchange them at the Space Coast Stadium box office for any other remaining Manatees regular season home game, based on availability.

Wisconsin Media Notes

Huntsville Media Relations: Huntsville, Ala. – The Huntsville Stars and Milwaukee Brewers have made a couple of transactions before the start of tonight’s series opener against the Mobile BayBears. RHP Santo Manzanillo has been placed on the disabled list, retroactive to June 23. LHP Philippe Valiquette has been promoted from High-A Brevard County to Huntsville. Additionally, outfielder Brock Kjeldgaard was activated from the disabled list yesterday and transferred to Brevard County. This is the second stint on the DL this season for Manzanillo. The 23-year-old was placed on the DL back on April 11 for six weeks. He is currently 0-4 with a 6.08 ERA (13.1 IP / 9 ER) in 12 games. The Brewers signed Valiquette to a minor league contract on April 26 after he was released by the Seattle Mariners in March. The lefty missed all of the 2011 season due to injury. In 2010, he went 4-1 with a 4.15 ERA (65 IP / 30 ER) in 54 games split between Double-A and Triple-A, including a 2-0 record in 25 games for the former Southern League Carolina Mudcats. The 25-year-old was originally drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the seventh round of the 2004 First-Year Player Draft. With these moves, the Stars active roster sits at the 25-man limit. *** Sure is turning into a lost development year for Manzanillo.

Nashville Media Notes No roster move to make room for Mike McClendon's return until Wednesday...

VIDEO! - Here's your Raul Mondesi, Jr.-induced walk-off appeal play

Mike Fiers Pre-Game Audio Interview with Joe Block on the Brewers' pre-game

Looks like Raul Mondesi, Jr. might have been stylin' during his Monday HR jaunt -- from the Osprey's site: Helena's Raul Mondesi Jr. almost overshadowed another dominant performance by Missoula starter Andrew Barbosa when he hit a walk-off homer in the 10th inning on Monday. The problem was, it ended up being a walk-off win for Missoula. With Helena down, 2-0, and a man on with two outs in the bottom of the 10th, Mondesi hit one over the center-field wall to tie the game. But he didn't step on home plate. Osprey manager Andy Green appealed and Mondesi was called out to end the game. "It was crazy," Barbosa said. "[Mondesi] hits a home run, he's taunting a little bit running around the bases and then he steps over the plate. Our catcher, Michael Perez, saw it and waited for him to go in the dugout. He appealed it, the ump saw it, too, and he called him out."

To make room for RHP Drew Gagnon at Brevard, LHP Phillippe Valiquette has been promoted to AA Huntsville. The Stars will need to make a corresponding move later today to make room.

Audio from Albuquerque — “Mondays with Mike (Guerrero)” Jeff Hem's note: Here is this week’s “Mondays with Mike” with Sounds manager Mike Guerrero, who discusses the Sounds’ power surge on Saturday, the status of what has been an illness-ridden Sounds clubhouse, when prospect Tyler Thornburg will take the mound in a game, the return of shortstop Edwin Maysonet from Milwaukee and what that means for the infield and the decision to bring in Donovan Hand in relief on Saturday instead of having him make a spot start on Sunday.

Timber Rattlers struggle to recover their momentum from the first half by Tim Froberg, Post-Crescent staff writer GRAND CHUTE — The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are discovering that reboots can be a bit tricky. The Rattlers tore it up during a highly successful first half of the Midwest League season, but haven’t been able to get started in the second half. Wisconsin, the first-half champion of the Western Division, has dropped all four of its second-half games and lost its sixth straight Monday night with a 4-1 loss to the Quad Cities River Bandits. It was Wisconsin’s first home game in two weeks, but the return to Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium didn’t change the Rattlers’ fortunes. The Rattlers were held hitless for 4 1/3 innings by Quad Cities left-hander Dail Villanueva and finished with just five hits. “If you look at our numbers the last six games, we’re not getting it done,” Wisconsin manager Matt Erickson said. “But at the same time, we’re playing some competitive games, so there’s no need to panic.” Rosters shift constantly at the minor league level, particularly at midseason, and it’s difficult to maintain momentum with new faces checking in and familiar ones exiting. The Rattlers have experienced considerable change in the past week. Three Wisconsin players, outfielders Jason Rogers and John Dishon and pitcher Seth Harvey, were promoted to Brevard County, while two new players, outfielders Mitch Haniger and Lance Roenicke, have been added to the roster. “We’ll be OK,” Erickson said. “We’ve had some key players move and have a couple new players, but that’s part of the development process. It’s understood. The overall make-up of our team is still pretty much the same and the new guys are all good-character guys.” Cameron Garfield was the lone Timber Rattler to collect two hits and the former second-round draft pick in 2009 helped Wisconsin avoid a shutout by drilling an RBI single in the ninth inning. The 21-year-old Garfield has been hampered with knee injuries the past 1½ seasons and had just 53 at-bats last season. He missed most of the first half of this season while rehabbing a dislocated knee cap, which required surgery, but has swung the bat well upon his return. In 50 at-bats this season, the right-handed-hitting Garfield is hitting .300, with a home run, six RBI and a .435 slugging percentage. “I’m just happy to be healthy again and eager to help this team win,” Garfield said. “The body is feeling good and my knee is feeling good. I’m a little lighter right now, so that shouldn’t put as much pressure on my knee.” Garfield’s position is catcher, but he filled the designated hitter’s role Monday night. “It’s a little different when you’re not in there defensively and are hitting every three innings,” Garfield said. “You have to stay loose and keep your mind in the game. You just have to have a little different approach to things.” “I got a couple of good pitches to hit tonight and made some good contact.” A bright spot on the mound for the Rattlers was the effective relief work of right-hander Kevin Shackelford, who threw 3 2/3 innings of hitless relief. Shackelford struck out three and didn’t allow a walk. Wisconsin starter Mark Williams exited in the fifth after surrendering a three-run homer to the River Bandits’ Matt Williams. The Timber Rattlers might have put a couple more runs on the board had it not been for the defensive expertise of River Bandits center fielder Virgil Hill. Hill made a couple of outstanding catches, including a leaping grab against the fence that robbed the Rattlers’ Ben McMahan of an extra-base hit in the sixth inning. “Their centerfielder made a couple of great plays,” said Erickson. “Those were two big plays.” Article includes a photo gallery
