Dylan File Released from Korea Contract

The Shuckers were walked off (actually, homered off). Jackson Chourio's poor June start continued. The Mudcats are having a dreadful homestand. The Sounds can't catch a break from the weather gods. The rookie complex clubs posted a 1-2 day. But the Brewers' 2022 6th round RHP pick out of an Arizona junior college continued his wonderfully consistent and highly effective season for the Timber Rattlers. Thank you, Tyler Woessner (and some clutch 8th inning Wisconsin at-bats) for salvaging our Saturday! The parent club thanks Tyler as well for the temporary distraction from their woes (see what I did there - Woessner / woes). Win, lose, or wet, the Link Report remains your breakfast reading material staple, so here we go! Permanent reminder - Tyler pronounces it Wayz-ner. Uecker's eventually going to have fun with that. Yes, Bob forever. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic TRANSACTIONS: - RHP Tanner Shears promoted to High-A Wisconsin from Low-A Carolina- RHP Alexander Vallecillo activated from Low-A Carolina’s 7-day injured list Suspended, Game One: Nashville 1, Jacksonville (Marlins) 1, through 3.5 innings at Jacksonville Cancelled: Game Two Pre-Game Media Notes Via the Sounds: The first game of tonight’s doubleheader between the Nashville Sounds and Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp was suspended tonight in the bottom of the fourth inning due to rain at 121 Financial Ballpark. The contest was tied at 1-1 when it was called. The suspended game will be resumed on Sunday, June 11 at 11:05 a.m. CDT and be a seven-inning game. Sunday’s originally scheduled game between Nashville and Jacksonville will be played 30 minutes after the conclusion of Saturday’s suspended game and be seven innings. The second game of Saturday’s doubleheader has been cancelled and will not be made up. Box Score (Thus Far) / Game Log How the Jacksonville run scored Rehabbing Jesse Winker homered on the second pitch of the game, his 2nd HR in three games. RHP Janson Junk was effective through three innings. Final: Mississippi (Braves) 4, Biloxi 3 Via the Shuckers' site, we encourage readers to review each of the affiliate write-ups as part of your season-long Link Report routine: M-Braves Mount Late Comeback as Shuckers Fall, 4-3, on Walk-Off Homer - Justin Jarvis turns in a strong start with seven strikeouts, Tyler Black swipes 31st stolen base of the year Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Game Log RHP Justin Jarvis had thrown 90 pitches through six shutout innings but was brought out for the 7th -- as you just read in the summary - HR, HR, double. This Mississippi highlight reel unfortunately does not chronicle Jarvis' dominance through six (as expected), but you can watch how things soured. Former Voice of the Shuckers Chris Harris is on the call for the tying run and the unfortunate walkoff. CF Jackson Chourio was 0-for-5 and his OPS (.703) is in danger of beginning with a "6" soon. His night: - Flied out to CF on the first pitch he saw in the 1st - Grounded out to the right side of the infield to move a runner to third base with less than two outs in the 3rd - Grounded out to third base on the first pitch he saw in the 5th; there was a runner on 2nd and one out - Called out on strikes in the 7th - Grounded into a force-out to end the 9th You can't spell "Jarvis" without dotting the "I": Going back to Friday's pre-game, here's the interview with Manager Mike Guerrero Final: Wisconsin 4, West Michigan (Tigers) 1 Via the Timber Rattlers' site: Clutch Hits Lift Wisconsin Past West Michigan - Two-out doubles by Hall and García in the eighth put Rattlers ahead to stay Pre-Game Media Notes (Download Link) via the team's Virtual Press Box Box Score / Game Log Would have been nice to see a very deserving Tyler Woessner place the "W" in his own personal column here, but this was still a very nice victory for the T-Rats. Yes, we've given the 23-year-old praise all season, but it's time to realize, maybe not enough. Here are the game logs from Tyler's 11 starts. Check out the "earned runs" column, nothing higher than a "3". Factor in a 1.22 WHIP, dude has been a stud. One home run allowed in 56.2 innings. Enjoy the All-Star Game, young man. LH reliever Luis Amaya was signed by the White Sox out of Venezuela in December 2014, yet he's just in his age 24 season. Nice little find on the minor league free agent market by Milwaukee this offseason. Eight batters had a single base knock apiece, with three of them coming in the productive 8th that Chris Mehring detailed for us in the summary. Every road game is a reminder of just how much the Timber Rattlers home production crew absolutely spoils us. Final: Fayetteville (Astros) 8, Carolina 2 Mudcats Drop Fifth Straight 8-2 to Fayetteville - Luke Adams and Jadher Areinamo accounted for all of Carolina's offense in the loss Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Game Log Nearly 5,000 fans in Zebulon Saturday night - the first 1,000 got sweet, sweet Mudcats jerseys: It's as if the Oakland Athletics showed up, and then...oh wait, this is another downtrodden team visiting and just taking game after game from the former first-place home club (this is a seven-game series and Tuesday's 7-6 Carolina extra-inning win seems so long ago). Of course, bitter rival Down East has won another three in a row so the Muddies now trail by three games (standings). Luke Adams is a joy, and come back soon, Luis Lara. That's all I got. At least there's a sense of humor: Final: ACL Royals 15, ACL Brewers 11Box Score / Game LogCF Sal Frelick - doubled on a ground ball to right field in the 1st; walked in the 3rd; struck out swinging in the 5th; walked in the 7th.Brewer pitchers allowed runs in seven of the eight innings pitched in this road contest.Trailing 8-2 heading to the 7th, the Maryvale Crew scored five runs on just two hits (singles) to get within one. The Royals' youngsters immediately answered with a four-spot of their own. The 7th and 8th innings combined were a wild ride - Maryvale "won" those two innings 9-7, but alas, the final score. If you're going to game log dive, those two innings can be your focus.About that Brewer pitching, four took the mound. This is the 5th game of the season (first Maryvale loss), and 5th year (yes, 5th) for RHP Brailin Rodriguez, who was signed out of the Dominican Republic in September of 2018, one month after his 16th birthday.Rodriguez made 12 appearances (11 starts) in his 2019 debut DSL season. The Milwaukee organization places those in starting spots who they foresee being able to handle rotation action down the road. Of course, Covid robbed the 2020 summer (still counts towards service time), and Rodriguez showed enough in 2021 to get a September cup of coffee with Carolina. He then missed all of 2022 with an unknown but clearly serious injury.This was the 2nd appearance on the young season for each of the three relievers who followed, none shined, as evidenced in the box.19-year-old 3rd-year LF Duncan Garcia cracked his first stateside home run, a three-run shot - he had hit seven HR's in 94 DSL games the past two summers. Garcia drove in five here. Dylan O'Rae, DH'ing Saturday, reached base three times (single, two walks), and stole his 5th base in as many attempts, having played in four games thus far. O'Rae played second base in his three games in the field this week. Final: DSL Dodgers Bautista 4, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 3, seven innings as scheduledBox Score / Game LogThere are 15 active pitchers on the DSL Uno roster. Is there a need to protect arms league-wide with seven-inning games at times?Three of the four Cerveceros errors were committed by men on the mound. Pro debut for 18-year-old RH starter Esmir Suarez, with errors on two different pickoff throws. Suarez was the beneficiary of three runners stranded by 2nd year RHP Jesael Cabrera. 17-year-old Venezuelan 2B Luiyin Alastre was on base all four times out of the leadoff spot (single, three walks). Top signing CF Yophery Rodriguez, 0-for-3 otherwise, walked to leadoff the final inning but was quickly erased on a GIDP. A pop-out followed, end of game. 85 degrees, sunny, 1 MPH breeze. Lather, rinse, repeat. Final: DSL Brewers #2 Squad 7, DSL Pirates Black 6Box Score / Game LogUnlike the other DSL contest, this was scheduled for nine.Looked to be an entertaining affair, tied at 3-3 after six, then the back-and-forth began, culminating with a two-run Crew rally that was capped by a walkoff two-out RBI single by 18-year-old LF Fabricio Valera that broke a then 6-6 tie. That broke Valera's 0-for-13 to open the season.One player who was glad his mates came back for the win was 16-year-old SS Roderick Flores. With bases loaded and two outs in the 8th, Flores was picked off first base by the Pirates catcher. Lesson learned super early in a career, hopefully.In his first professional plate appearance, 6'4" 17-year-old RF Christopher Vasquez walked. In his next appearance, he pulled a HR to left. After a strikeout in his 3rd trip to the plate, Vasquez lined a double to center to tie the game at 4-4 in the 8th. Vasquez is a Dominican native, hopefully he had family there. Sign up any siblings! All but one Brewers batter had at least one hit, and the one who did not, catcher Eric Martinez, added a sacrifice fly. LH-hitting rookie 1B Smarlin Espinal has a grade-80 name. He singled three times and drove in two.Starting RHP Ranwell Smith (Nicaragua) had a sweet five-inning outing, but with that name should really be a position player. There will be just five final box scores Sunday as the complex leagues take their traditional Sunday off. Impressive RHP Will Rudy will do his part to hopefully end the madness at Carolina. Meanwhile, somebody please wake up the big-league lineup. Here's to a nice end to your weekend. Thanks for reading and clicking.

Only the Maryvale Brewers were victorious among the Crew's affiliates on Friday night, but the post-thumb injury debut of Sal Frelick was a sight for sore eyes. Yes, RHP Jason Alexander began his rehab stint as well. The Mudcats' recent seven-game winning streak now unfortunately feels oh-so-long ago, and the rookie level saw the professional debut of a "lottery ticket" that 99% of Brewers fans likely had tucked in their wallets and forgotten about. On to the night's recap! Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic TRANSACTIONS: RHP Tyson Miller recalled to MLB Brewers from AAA Nashville (replacing injured LHP Bennett Sousa) RHP Jake Cousins placed on MLB Brewers' 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 4 - this negates his earlier announced option to AAA Nashville OF Sal Frelick sent on rehab assignment to ACL Brewers RHP Jason Alexander sent on rehab assignment to ACL Brewers C Brent Diaz to the Development List at AAA Nashville There are two extended audio listens for you to make time for this weekend: Postponed: Nashville at Jacksonville (Marlins) Via the Sounds: "Friday night’s game between the Nashville Sounds and the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp at 121 Financial Ballpark has been postponed due to rain. The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader tomorrow, Saturday, June 10. Game one of tomorrow’s doubleheader will start at 4:05 p.m. CDT. Game two will follow at least 30 minutes after the conclusion of game one. Both games are scheduled to be seven innings in length." Final: Mississippi (Braves) 4, Biloxi 0 Via the Shuckers' site, we encourage readers to review each of the affiliate write-ups as part of your season-long Link Report routine: Shuckers Pitching Strikes Out 12 in 4-0 Loss to M-Braves - Russell Smith, James Meeker combine for 4.1 shutout innings out of the bullpen Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Game Log Via that game summary in which you learned about Tyler Black's crazy stolen base pace: In the third, the Shuckers later loaded the bases, but back-to-back strikeouts ended the inning and held Biloxi scoreless. Wes Clarke was the first K victim, Zavier Warren the 2nd. Little moments matter - was this strike three? Camera angle not the best: Jeferson Quero double, single, walk - beast. Tough two games for Tristen Lutz - 0-for-8, seven K's. Lutz qualifies for minor league free agency after this season, and the 34th overall pick in 2017 out of a Texas high school is likely to move on from the Crew after this fall and not reaching AAA. He'll turn 25 years old in August. No clear reason why Tyler Black was pinch-hit for to open the 8th inning. I've been a bit down on LHP Russell Smith, so kudos on his middle-relief stint here. However, did the Brewers envision him in that role at this point in his development? Thinking no. Enough already with the level of strikeouts in the Southern League. How is that entertaining for kids in the stands? The 2nd half of the season return of the muddied baseball can't come fast enough. Final: West Michigan (Tigers) 8, Wisconsin 6 Via the Timber Rattlers' site: Whitecaps End Wisconsin Winning Streak - West Michigan hits four homers in 8-6 victory Pre-Game Media Notes (Download Link) via the team's Virtual Press Box Box Score / Game Log Eric Brown, Jr. last played on Saturday. This is all we know at this time. As a 20-year-old in 2022, RHP Stiven Cruz was bumped from Carolina to Wisconsin and made four starts to end the season, posting a microscopic 0.47 ERA and 0.63 WHIP. In eleven starts this season, Cruz, well, hasn't done that (6.91 ERA, 1.72 WHIP). Cruz had not been dominant in 15 Mudcats starts prior to his bump last year, just OK, but no one saw this season's results coming. If retiring every bater faced over 3.2 innings doesn't get 25-year-old Taylor Floyd a return trip to Biloxi, nothing will. He dazzled there to end a stellar 2021 breakout, inexplicably faltered there to begin 2022, and it's time for him to get reacquainted with the Shuckers uniform. Via Chris Mehring, as you just read: "Wisconsin had ten hits in the game. All the hits were singles. The Whitecaps had twelve hits in the game. They had five singles, four homers, and three doubles." Slugging matters. Final: Fayetteville (Astros) 7, Carolina 5 Mudcats Fail to Hold Late Lead in 7-5 Loss - The Mudcats fell 2.0 games back of the first-place Down East Wood Ducks with the loss Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Game Log The Mudcats affiliate is unfortunately getting pretty good at inexplicable crunch time losing streaks the past few seasons. Still time to turn it around here. Admittedly, I had recently commented on the Brewers making sure that "older" relievers made up the Carolina bullpen for both stability and effectiveness. At least on this night, that plan went sour. RHP Patricio Aquino isn't just 20 years old, he's a young 20, having turned in May. A very encouraging eight-start stint thus far in full-season ball, and nice to see any injured list stays were brief. CF Luis Lara misses a second game, hopefully back this weekend. Your reminder to focus on Luke Adams' .410 OBP and .433 SLG in his 53 professional games thus far (2022-2023), his 24 steals in 29 attempts, his defensive chops at third base, and his age (turned 19 in April). Don't focus on the unlucky 2023 batting average of .194 (.211 BABIP, incredible). Excuse the last name typo: Final: ACL Brewers 11, ACL Padres 9, nine innings (scheduled for seven) Box Score / Game Log Any time the gametime temp isn't triple digits (96 degrees), I'm sure the players and staff will take it. This was the only victory on the farm Friday. The legions in attendance got their money's worth. But honestly, this is a game where you invest three minutes to click on the game log link above, then click on each of the nine inning-indicator links on the right and digest the game action. Go ahead, I'll wait....and yes, rehabbing RHP Jason Alexander started for the Crew, and you'll notice the ghost runner in effect in both the 8th and 9th innings. ....OK, welcome back. You see, without formal game summaries at these complex league games, an exercise like you just completed is nearly a must. For a 4-1 game? Maybe not, a box score perusal will likely suffice. Nice job by the final of Maryvale's seven pitchers, 19-year-old Anfernny Reyes, in just his 2nd stateside game. He only allowed one of three inherited one-out runners to score in the 8th, and pitched a scoreless 9th. Welcome back, Sal Frelick. We missed you. Dylan O'Rae 4-for-4 in stolen bases. He was 4-for-5 in attempts in 2022 in his eight games played. A 4-0 start to the season for this group. Final: DSL Guardians Blue 9, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 5, ten innings Box Score / Game Log 17-year-old bonus baby SS Kevin Ereu (DH'ing here) yanked his first professional home run in the 7th to tie the game at 5-5. The dugout must have been pretty electric. He also singled twice and walked. Ereu is less than a single month removed from that 17th birthday, amazing. As is the norm in this first week, we had some pro debuts on the mound: 17-year-old Dominican RHP Oliver Camilo was roughed up some in the start. 18-year-old Nicaragua native RHP Nestor Mena retired all four men he faced, including a stranded Camilo baserunner 17-year-old Venezuelan RHP Gabriel Colmenarez did not strike out a batter but shined in four scoreless innings (2 H, 2 BB) 17-year-old Johan Zapata, another Dominican-born RHP, tossed scoreless 8th and 9th innings. 20-year-old Yonawil Florimon, who had a successful debut on Tuesday, took the loss with a tough 10th inning. It's fun to note the pro debuts, because when one of these young arms makes their way to a big-league Brewers uniform, we'll be pulling up the debut post. Final: DSL Guardians Red 6, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 5 Box Score / Game Log After four pro games, 18-year-old CF Ramon Moreno is 1-for-8 (a double) with eight walks and five strikeouts. His line is .125/.588/.250. He walked five times in this game (Guardians pitchers walked 14 and the Cerveceros Dos went 0-for-12 with RISP, stranding 12). The game logs aren't' perfect, I'm trying to make sense of that bottom of the 9th, an inning that saw the Crew #2 get walked off. See if it all jives for you. More mound debuts: 18-year-old Dominican RHP Linbel Jimenez allowed one run in two innings (0 BB, 3 K). We finally see the pro debut of 19-year-old Venezuelan LHP Pedro Quintana (scoreless inning), who was acquired from the Mets for OF Billy McKinney back in May of 2021 but had not pitched due to injury. At the time of the trade, the Journal-Sentinel's Todd Rosiak collected quotes from then-Asst. GM Matt Arnold: Quintana, listed at 5-foot-11 and 165 pounds, signed as an international free agent with the Mets in January but was also on Milwaukee's radar screen. Arnold said already, Quintana's curveball and changeup stand out and that his fastball should improve as he continues to mature. "He’s a really interesting lefty. He’s physical, athletic. Our guys did a really good job on him as an amateur. We've tracked him for a while," Arnold said. "The talent is really intriguing. He just turned 17 years old. Athletic, physical, room for him to fill out and grow. When you think about guys like this, he’d be maybe a sophomore or junior in high school here. So, thinking of where he is from a stuff perspective, obviously he’s going to take some time to develop. But the ingredients that we saw of where he is right now in his development phase, we’re really optimistic about this guy." 86 degrees, sunny, 1 MPH wind. Because always. Eight games on Saturday thanks to the Nashville doubleheader. The Sounds and Mudcats get off to the earliest starts at 4:00 Central. Enjoy your day!
