Timber Rattlers activated LF Hendry Mendez from the 7-day injured list. Nice to see, the 19-year-old Mendez was injured in an awkward slide at second base just four games into the season back on April 13th.

INF/OF Noah Campbell and Manager Mike Guerrero are the most recent additions to the Biloxi pre-game audio site.

The Mudcats sit in first place in their division with a 14-9 record and an impressive 9-3 road mark. The Timber Rattlers sit in last place in their Midwest League division at 8-16 and a humbling 3-10 road record. The Friday nights of the two teams were as divergent as one might think. Elsewhere, the Shuckers were given 9th inning life, but it didn't work out in extras. The Sounds got wet and their game was suspended.

Murray doubled and singled, scoring a run, while Warren was hitless but drew one walk. Hopefully we see returns Saturday night. In four innings, the southpaw Seminaris allowed three runs on five hits (three of them doubles), walked three, and threw a wild pitch. It's been a rough go with the Crew thus far. Every batter contributed - to the 19 Shucker strikeouts at the plate, ugh. Joe Gray, Jr. can't get home to Biloxi, an hour and a half from his native Hattiesburg, soon enough. On this road trip, he's 0-for-17 with eight K's and no walks in his first taste of AA. This was ultra-clutch despite the final score: You'll find three additional videos via the Biloxi Twitter Media feed, including a unique base hit for Noah Campbell, one of the three University of South Carolina Gamecocks on the squad. Pre-game audio from Thursday with Campbell is here. Jackson Chourio 1-for-5 with two K's as his "just-kind-of-going-along" start to the season continues (.697 OPS).

Seven of the T-Rat hits went for extra bases. Fantastic to see Ben Metzinger (DH'ing here) back in the lineup after over a week away. *Searching for positives...but - Yeah, two of the runs against him were unearned, but you can't be allowing six hits to the ten batters you face, LHP Russell Smith. That does not appear to be the best use of a 2021 2nd round pick (#51 overall) at this time. Defense lets down RHP Tyler Woessner as well, tough to drop yet another game with your best starting pitcher on the mound. As far as tough Brewer High-A seasons go, at 8-16, this isn't quite the 2016 Brevard County Manatees, who finished 40-97. Respected current T-Rat Manager Joe Ayrault was also the skipper for that club. Let's certainly hope things don't follow that example.

Quick and effective work by RHP Miguel Guerrero in the 5th. LHP Nate Peterson, 23 years old but seeing his first pro action in 2023, is unscored upon over his last three outings, spanning 12.2 innings. When you're only 18 years old, you're young enough where we can note half-birthdays, CF Luis Lara isn't even 18-and-one-half years old yet. The first four games of his stateside career have produced a .357/.474/.429 start. Commence daydreaming on him... I will continue to believe that based on our similar last names, I'm related to this 19-year-old Venezuela native - Have a Happy Nurses' Day, everyone (thank you, wifey). It's all evening action Saturday, except in St. Paul, where Nashville commences their suspended game precisely at 12:07 Central Time, followed by the regularly scheduled contest.Organizational Scoreboard including starting pitcher info, game times, MiLB TV links, and box scoresCurrent Milwaukee Brewers Organization Batting Stats and DepthCurrent Milwaukee Brewers Organization Pitching Stats and Depth View full article

All 13 players previously noted in this thread: Five of the players had their brief careers documented in earlier posts here. If you missed them, click on the respective link: RHP Royer Cabrera C Darlin Lora and CF Eduarh Colina RHP Pedro Rivas RHP Mario Perez Now for the eight others: UT Jose Pena, out of the Dominican Republic, turned 18 in February. He is listed as a RHP in the tweet above, but in his lone season in the DSL last summer, he served in a position player utility role. Pena proved to be overmatched at the plate, striking out 62 times in 101 AB's. He reached 19 times via BB / HBP but a .139 batting average with three doubles makes him the rare signee not being given a second year in the system. Pena signed for $230,000, the 7th largest bonus in the 2022 class. RHP Reybert Reyes, signed out of Venezuela, turned 20 years old this past January. In January of 2022, the Brewers assigned 20 players a $10,000 signing bonus. However, if you look at the linked 2022 class list above, you'll find Reyes at the very end signing for $5,000. Odd, as signings at $10,000 do not count against the bonus pool. The tall (6'3") Reyes made 11 relief appearances in his lone DSL season, fanned 11, walked 11, plunked another eight batters, and finished with a 9.49 ERA in the smallish 12.1 inning sample. RHP Franddy De Los Santos was signed last March, a couple of weeks after his 18th birthday. The Dominican native would have been a short-dollar signing at that point. De Los Santos' WHIP was 3.00 after his 11 relief appearances with a 13.91 ERA and 23 BB's, 4 HBP's in just 11 innings. Sometimes the numbers don't allow for a second year return, though like the other names here, De Los Santos would have had a chance to demonstrate some advancement in camp early in 2023. He is the only "Franddy" in the history of pro baseball. LHP Jhofez Mejias, the only "Jhofez" in pro baseball's annals, turned 19 last October. Signed out of Venezuela, his inclusion on this list is a bit of a surprise, especially as a one-year-and-done player. The sheer number of recent signings and the apparent lack of a second Maryvale team in 2023 is forcing this blitz of releases amid a numbers crunch. The $10,000 signing started three of the 13 games he appeared in, posting a reasonable 4.08 ERA and 1.57 WHIP, fanning 34 in 28.2 innings. The overall lack of southpaws in the Dominican Summer League rosters adds to the surprise impact of this release. C Juan Rosa is a Dominican native who will turn 20 later this month of May. Talk about a short leash. Rosa only signed last August 5th and got to appear in just five DSL games, going 1-for-10 with five K's and no walks. He was behind the plate for four innings total, otherwise was a designated hitter. Congrats on that lone base knock, young man. INF Edgardo Reyes signed for $97,500 in January 2022, the 8th highest bonus of the class. The Venezuelan native posted a .145/.286/.158 line (one extra-base hit, a double, in 76 AB's). He saw action in the field in 25 of his 28 games, all the infield spots except shortstop. INF Luis Watter turned 20 years old this past January. The Dominican native was part of the July 2019 signing class but then had to delay his pro debut until 2021 due to the pandemic. Over the past two summers, Watter posted a .649 OPS and was successful in 21 of 23 stolen base attempts. Watter only slugged .300, but one of his ten XBH's in 230 pro AB's was a home run. Watter had signed for $35,000. He was listed at 5'8", but that was at the time of his contract signing as a 16-year-old. OF Francisco Nina was a $10,000 signing from that January 2022 class. Listed at a lanky 6'5", 175, Nina homered once (four doubles), but otherwise slapped his way to a .212/.301/.271 line (.572 OPS) during his age 17 season. Nina fanned 38 times in 118 AB's with 12 walks, we've seen others with similar lines net a second-chance year, but as mentioned above, that wasn't the case in this round of cuts. As always, we wish all the best and hope that if they wish, they find future baseball opportunities.
