Via Jeff Hem's Blog - The Nashville pre-game interviews from last week's series vs. Gwinnett, including a few while Jeff was briefly away from the club All are worth your while, but should you choose to focus in on one, tune in to Corey Ray. Turns out that like the rest of us, he had no idea he had been designated for assignment and had been available on waivers, and only learned he had been outrighted off the 40-man roster when it was announced on June 17th. Ray had played on the 15th but not the 16th. So, it's unclear if minor leaguers who are DFA'd can still be in action while in DFA limbo, but unlike those who are in the big leagues when their DFA is announced, apparently organizations can be a bit stealthy about letting their minor league 40-man roster guys know.

MiLB.TV link for subscribers (go to the 01:38:00 hour/minute mark) Unusual situation, as Reyes took himself out of the game in the 4th inning, walking off the field for no apparent reason. There was one out, none on base at the time, Reyes had not been involved in any defensive plays since earlier in the game. However, Reyes did ground out to end the 3rd - go to the 01:31:55 minute mark. It's not super clear, but you do see Reyes reach around and ever-so-quickly grab the back of his left side shortly after crossing first base. I'm not sure if word reached the Voice of the Sounds, Jeff Hem, by the end of the game, as to what the injury may be. No possible way to fully speculate given the two video moments referred to. One would think we'll find out, but minor league injury news is often difficult to come by, even for players on the 40-man roster. For instance, 6'8" LH reliever Angel Perdomo was placed on Nashville's 7-day IL back on April 12th, then moved to the 60-day IL on June 14th, and it's been frustrating that we can't get a formal update on a member of the 40-man.

Monday's action on the Brewers farm was limited to Arizona and the Dominican Republic, not unusual for the first day of the workweek. And while the few players who may eventually see big-league action are a half-decade or more from that MLB debut, we can dream on their exploits as we continue to chronicle each game for you. Transaction: INF Pablo Reyes optioned to AAA Nashville *** ACL Summaries compiled by @damuelle, DSL by yours truly Final: ACL Brewers Blue 7, ACL Giants Black 1, seven innings as scheduled Box Score / Game Log The Brewers in Blue improved to 4-12 with a comfortable victory over the 11-3 Giants Black team in this seven-inning game. 19-year old (turning 20 this Friday) starting RHP Alexander Vallecillo won his second straight game, giving up just one run on three hits while striking out 11 hitters and walking one. He’s now K’d 27 batters in 20 innings pitched. The team jumped out to a 5-0 second inning lead on a Jonatan Guzman two-RBI single, Jace Avina (season OPS .869) RBI double and Daniel Guilarte (season OPS .821) two-RBI single. Avina also doubled and scored on a Guilarte RBI single in the fourth inning. Dual-threat Quinton Low tripled and scored in the fifth inning to complete the scoring. The 13th round 2021 draft pick has pitched in three games (four innings – 0.00 ERA) and also played 10 games at first base (40 plate appearances - .623 OPS). Registering eight hits in 28 at-bats sounds a lot better than striking out 13 times in 28 at-bats. Both happened for the Blue squad in this game, with OF Eduarqui Fernandez victimized three times to drop his OPS to .779. DH/INF Alexander Perez stole two of Blue’s four bases in the game. 19-year old RHP Samuel Dario (3.00 ERA, 1.08 WHIP in 12 innings this year) bounced back from his last relief outing, pitching a scoreless seventh inning. Final: ACL Padres 7, ACL Brewers Gold 3, seven innings as scheduled Box Score / Game Log The loss dropped the Gold team to 9-7. Although they trailed 6-0 early and never really threatened the Padres, Gold had solid traffic throughout: 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position, ten men left-on-base. They left men on base in every inning of the seven-inning contest. Starting 20-year old RHP Domingo Mejia had his shortest outing (2 innings, 5 runs, 4 hits, 3 walks, 2 Ks), then RHP Trevor Tietz didn’t fare much better (2 innings, 2 runs, 3 hits, 2 walks, 2 Ks). However, let’s give credit to 19-year old LHP Fraudy Maldonado, who covered three scoreless innings, conceding just one hit and no walks. Normally reliant on strikeouts (38 Ks in 26 1/3 career innings entering the game), he managed to get the job done without registering any K in this one. The 2019 international signee of the Mets never got to debut with them (2020 Covid wipeout, March 2021 release), so let’s hope he continues to show them what they’re missing. Offensively, 18-year old INF Jadher Areinamo has to feel good about the first homer of his minor league career, a solo shot in the seventh inning to raise his season OPS to .851. 18-year old OF Luis Castillo reached base twice (single, walk) to keep up his average (.407 this year) and OPS (1.153). 19-year old INF Jesus Parra still has a troublesome BB/K ratio (3/14 this year; 4/35 last year), but the 2018 signing ($210k bonus) is seeing better results: .265 AVG / .333 OBP / .469 SLG. He doubled, singled and walked in a 2-for-3 effort in this game. 18-year old major 2021 signing SS Gregory Barrios picked up two singles to lift his season OPS to .685. 19-year old INF Jose Caballero went 0-for-2, but still reached base twice (walk, hit-by-pitch), so his season OPS didn’t suffer much (now .918). *** Final: DSL Brewers #1 Squad 8, DSL Cardinals 1 Box Score / Game Log Any win over the Redbirds is a reason to celebrate. Dominant win, all the better! 19-year-old 2nd-year Venezuelan RHP Kevin Briceno was wondering why he's not stateside prior to the game (our words, not his, obviously) and he simply went out and dominated over five innings - 2 H, 1 R (a home run), zero walks and nine K's. Six of the 12 Team Uno hits were doubles, including two by switch-hitting first baseman Arnys Rodriguez. A double was among the four base hits by 17-year-old bonus baby third baseman switch-hitting Jhonny Severino, a good point to turn the corner on his pro debut season. Severino handled his one ground ball chance cleanly, as he has struggled in that regard early on. Switch-hitting (catch a theme here?) center fielder Luis Lara, the 17-year-old who has been featured prominently here since Day One, doubled and singled. Here's how I look at complex league box scores. Once it's established that there is a level of really solid numbers being put up by a collection of youngsters, give me the crooked numbers on their lines. Clearly this will mean more in another month. It's a nice note if a player with a .500 OPS coming into the game gets three base hits, but give me sustained success, produce "stars" within their current level, and move on. So, for instance, Lara has been a stud in this way. Wonder how many of these switch-hitters will still be doing so in two years? Splits too small to analyze at this point, but love that the Brewers are both targeting and encouraging this. Poor St. Louis organization, not enough prospects to field two DSL teams... *** Final: DSL Phillies Red 12, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 2 Box Score / Game Log A double and two singles for 18-year-old 2nd-year Venezuelan native Brayan Oropeza. Primarily a catcher, this was his second game at first base this season. A 1.502 (!) OPS tells us he's off to a sizzling seven-game start to his season. *** It's nothing but home cooking for the Brewers' top four affiliates this week - Organizational Scoreboard including starting pitcher info, game times, MiLB TV links, and box scores Arizona Complex League Scoreboard Dominican Summer League Scoreboard Standings and sortable stat pages Current Milwaukee Brewers Organization Batting Stats and Depth Current Milwaukee Brewers Organization Pitching Stats and Depth Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic View full article

Here's your final Link Report from Saturday 6/25

It was an entertaining night on the Brewers farm. Ethan Small showed once again what he's quite capable of, although it had been a while. Biloxi's lineup always seems to provide highlights, though bullpen inconsistencies continue. Wisconsin's Joe Gray Jr. seems primed to totally bust out of his 2022 struggles, and by the way, we're going to blow up the internet with Jackson Chourio call-up speculation based on street clothes - yes, street clothes. So, I'll remind everyone now - we are a Brewers fan site. We are not professional journalists crossing all the T's and dotting all the I's of confirming juicy tidbits of information. Heck, the word fanatic is even in the enhanced Brewerfan name now. So, like you, let us have our fun. And if young Mr. Chourio is back in the Mudcats lineup when it gets announced late this morning, so be it. Then at least we gave you a few hours to let your mind race and figure out how you'd get to Appleton on Tuesday. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic It was an entertaining night on the Brewers farm.

RHP Trevor Gott and INF Mike Brosseau returned to Milwaukee from Wisconsin. *** Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 2, Gwinnett (Braves) 1 Box Score / Game Log Via the Sounds' site, game details, and we encourage readers to review each of the affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Small Leads Vihuelas de Nashville to Victory - Nashville starter Ethan Small strikes out season high in 2-1 win Small, Hobie Harris and Luke Barker needed to be near-perfect as the Sounds did not have an at-bat with a runner in scoring position all game. So yes, thank you, David Dahl - It's going to be pretty darn interesting how the big-league Brewers end up shaking out the three-catcher situation - first game in a Sounds uniform for Pedro Severino: Ethan Small's game logs - you have to go back six starts to May 24th for the last time Small had a truly positive result. *** Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes via the Shuckers' Virtual Press Box Final: Pensacola (Marlins) 8, Biloxi 7 Box Score / Game Log Via the Shuckers' site, game details, please review: Late Rally Comes Just Short In 8-7 Loss to Wahoos - Valerio, Devanney & Coca All Record Multi-Hit Efforts Despite five walks, starting LHP Brandon Knarr limited the damage, so it was left to normally reliable relievers Luis Contreras and Harold Chirino, but each faltered. Both had recently come off relatively brief injured list stays (this was not the first outing back for either). Originally given the day off, Joey Wiemer was called to pinch-hit in a big spot in the 9th, down 8-6, runners on 2nd and 3rd, no one out. Wiemer was called out on strikes, and though another run came around on Yeison Coca's single, the rally came up just short. Coming off a combined six hits in games of June 16th and 17th, we haven't seen 2B/3B Gabe Holt on the field since. Noah Campbell reached base twice more, this was noted prior to Friday's game: Just back from Nashville, Nick Kahle goes oppo. Kahle has only 17 at-bats on the season, acting primarily as the bullpen catchers at both locales while healthy on the rosters, must be frustrating - Here's a reminder that Felix Valerio does not turn 22 years old until December. No concerns at all about a .262/.326/.454 line, 22 of 60 hits for extra bases. As you've probably noted via game summary and box score, a 4-for-5 night: *** Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes via their all-encompassing Virtual Press Box Final: Wisconsin 5, Quad Cities (Royals) 3 Box Score / Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers' site, game details, please review: Wisconsin Wins Fourth Straight with 5-3 Victory - Gray homers twice & Kelly strikes out nine for Rattlers against Quad Cities Joe Gray teases us with torrid runs, and hopefully this one can sustain, well, certainly not at a pace of three XBH's each game, but just a consistent solid stretch, even if it has fewer spectacular moments. Tyler Black made his fourth start at third base this season (28 starts at second base, 11 in center field). Other than the 4.27 BB/9, every other number, ratio, etc. in 22-year-old Antoine Kelly's 2022 stat line is absolutely glorious. Hope you folks in Appleton have enjoyed his stay, it may not last much longer. *** Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes (unavailable) Final: Down East (Rangers) 5, Carolina 0 Box Score / Game Log Via the Mudcats' site, details, please review: Mudcats Held to One Hit in 5-0 Loss in Kinston In this terrible and rudely timed offensive funk of five games, the Mudcats have scored four total runs on just 20 hits, no effort weaker than Saturday's. So, on that dour note, time to speculate, and this should be fun: Is Appleton about to have a Jackson Chourio welcoming party? Click to see what our forum poster @ARobsBrewCrew picked up on while the rest of us simply saw Chourio (and shortstop Eduardo Garcia) absent from Saturday's Mudcats lineup. Let's see, Mudcats first half playoff run is complete (and sadly fell short). The Timber Rattlers' homestand continues into next week (home debuts are fun). So yeah, let's run with it because it's exciting as all heck! (While reminding you we have nothing else to base this on, other than a Chourio callup at this point makes complete sense. A bit less confident on the Garcia vibe, but that'd be fine, also.) *** Final: ACL Brewers Gold 12, ACL Brewers Blue 8, seven innings as scheduled Box Score / Game Log The 9-6 team defeats the 3-12 squad. The losing Blue squad scored eight runs on only three hits, as Gold pitchers walked seven and Gold committed three errors, so that doesn't shine brightly on either side. Coaches frown. It was 12-1 headed to the final inning, when Blue scored seven unearned runs - in fact, their one earlier run was unearned as well. Check out the dueling stat lines for the two starters, quite the dichotomy. Kudos to 19-year-old 2nd year RHP Jeison Pena on four perfect innings with five K's. Plenty for you to peruse from the offensive side within the box. *** Final: DSL Brewers #1 Squad 4, DSL Phillies Red 3, seven innings as scheduled Box Score / Game Log Pizzeria Uno sponsored the #1 celebration as the team we had just pointed out yesterday was last in the 49-team standings moves to 4-12 with this win. Infielder Gery Holguin has split his time at SS, 3B, 2B, and he cracked his 2nd home run here. By the way, Holguin (.732 OPS) is still 16 years old. First pro home run for $1.23 million shortstop Jhonny Severino, the 17-year-old switch-hitter who has struggled in the early going. *** Final: DSL Tigers #2 Squad 9, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 0, seven innings as scheduled Box Score / Game Log Starting LHP Anthony Flores, 17, couldn't escape the first inning, but defense and the feeble bats also to blame as the #2 club drops back to .500 at 8-8. Click above as you dare. *** Sunday Funday for all the rookie kids as they enjoy a day off. Nashville and Biloxi provide evening action if you so wish to check things out after the Chi-Chi Gonzalez-led Crew take the series from Toronto. Enjoy your day, I am off to our local town beach awaiting word on Mr. Chourio. If it's a false alarm, oh well...
