Today's Link Report updates will be delayed until mid-day today. Thanks for your patience. You can still, of course, peruse the box scores from the original post in this thread. Or you can just send get-well thoughts to the Chourio's.

In an odd coincidence, both of the Dominican Summer League rookie RHP's name "Chourio" were placed on the 60-day injured list on the same day Wednesday, ending both of their seasons. Juan Chourio, age 17, made four relief appearances this summer for the co-op w/Indians squad, none lasting longer than an inning, and last pitched on June 13th. Wilkerman Chourio, age 18, made his pro debut and only appearance to date back on June 4th for the full Brewers team. He walked three and allowed a run in his one inning. Both Chourio's were born in the same city in Venezuela - newly-added photos at the links.

That was Monday. On Thursday, the Brewers reversed the transactions, Beckman active again, while Rodriguez, one of the four essentially bullpen/emergency catchers across the full-season landscape, goes back to the injured list.

It's the rare Vibes' weekday day game Wednesday, 1:30 Central, listen here.

Toby with the details later on: Gold value falls Blue Tuesday He'll fill you in on the one pro debut on the day, sharp eyes will pick it out. *** Remember, the Mudcats and Timber Rattlers were idle Tuesday.

Box: DSL Phillies "White" Squad 7, DSL Brewers 4 Cerveceritos led 4-3 before a four-run Phillie top of the 8th. Good to see catcher Jhonnys Cabrera back in immediately after a home plate injury scare the day before. No earned runs allowed in six innings for RH starter Kleiber Bordones (another face to associate with the stat line).

Box (So Far): DSL Brewers/Indians 3, DSL Indians 2, suspended after four innings 2nd-year-pro 18-year-old Dominican RHP Leony Rosario with an OK four-inning start. Rosario's been solid and consistent all season long, as the link shows. Looks like August 1st is going to be the completion date.

*** UPDATE: Both Garcia and Roa were placed on the 60-day injured list Friday, ending their seasons. In this notes column from the weekend, Adam McCalvy provided follow-up: The Brewers placed two high-profile prospects at their complex in the Dominican Republic on the 60-day disabled list last week, ending their seasons. Shortstop Eduardo Garcia, No. 19 on MLB Pipeline’s list of Milwaukee’s top prospects, fractured his right ankle on a slide at second base in a game and underwent surgery on July 2 in Milwaukee with Dr. William Raasch, the Brewers’ head physician. Garcia, who signed with the Brewers for $1.1 million on his 16th birthday last July, just turned 17 last week and is rehabbing in Phoenix. He is expected to be ready to go for Spring Training 2020, Brewers farm director Tom Flanagan said. Another shortstop, Carlos Roa, who signed for $300,000 last July, dislocated his left (non-throwing) shoulder on a swing. He is still being evaluated for the best course of action, but will miss the remainder of the Dominican Summer League season.

Another indy ball grab, this one with two years of affiliated experience. Cousins Joining Brewers SCHAUMBURG, IL — It is with great pleasure that the Schaumburg Boomers of the Frontier League announce that the Milwaukee Brewers have purchased the contract of right-handed relief pitcher Jake Cousins. Cousins joined the Boomers at the end of May following his release from the minor league system of the Washington Nationals. The West Chicago, Ill. resident, who starred at Wheaton Academy, was instantly slotted into the back end of the Schaumburg bullpen. Cousins sported a 1-2 record with an ERA of 0.47 during his time with the club. The righty allowed just one earned run over 15 outings spanning 19.1 innings. Cousins held opponents to a .174 average while walking three and striking out 18. The first-year Boomer notched 11 scoreless appearances and struck out at least one batter in 11 appearances as well. Cousins was originally chosen in the 20th round of the 2017 draft by the Nationals out of the University of Pennsylvania, spending two years with the Nationals. Cousins was honored three times with all-conference recognition by the Ivy League with a first team choice in 2017, a second team nod in 2015 and an honorable mention selection in 2014. Cousins, who is currently in Arizona awaiting his assignment, is the second player from the Boomers to have his contract purchased this season, joining Landy Rodriguez. Rodriguez joined the Reds earlier this month and owns 14 strikeouts over nine innings of work in a pair of starts for the Billings Mustangs in the Pioneer League. Other former Boomers active in the affiliated ranks include Garrett Kelly (Cubs), Alec Kenilvort (Brewers) and Tom Colletti (Padres).

RHP Jon Olczak actiavated from the 7-day IL as Burch Smith headed to Milwaukee. Convenient, one wonders about the phantomness of the IL stint. At Rocky Mountain, LHP Blake Lillis, with an injury history (missed all of 2017 with ulnar neuritis), was placed on the Vibes' 7-day IL. Lillis had made only one appearance this year, a 4.1 inning start back on June 16th. No word on the nature of this new injury. 22-year-old Dominican RHP Daniel Acosta, in his first season stateside after three Dominican Summer League season, has shined in seven short Maryvale relief appearances, and he was rewarded with a flight to Colorado Springs to join the Vibes.

Box: DSL Phillies "White" Squad 8, DSL Brewers 2 It's pretty much All-Star OF (LF here, usually CF) Reidy Mercado's world, we just live in it. The switch-hitting 18-year-old Dominican native tripled, singled, walked, and stole his 27th base (got greedy and was caught stealing third base, out on the bases for the 11th time). Just four singles and two walks among the rest of the lineup. Hate to see young catcher Jhonnys Cabrera, who we spotlighted recently, leave after the end of the 1st inning. DSL Phillies White Bottom of the 1st Jeury Corona doubles (3) on a fly ball to right fielder Alejandro Marte. Jeury Corona steals (14) 3rd base. Raymond Mora grounds out, shortstop Joneiker Ponce de Leon to first baseman Erys Bautista. Jeury Corona scores. Juan Herrera hit by pitch. Juan Mendez singles on a line drive to right fielder Alejandro Marte. Juan Herrera to 3rd. Victor Diaz strikes out swinging. Juan Herrera caught stealing home, catcher Jhonnys Cabrera to second baseman Jesus Parra to third baseman Branlyn Jaraba to catcher Jhonnys Cabrera. *** Still just 16 years old (picture at the link says "really?") Brailin Rodriguez has started in each of his seven appearances, but has somewhat understandably worked to a 6.52 ERA. 18-year-old RHP Ariel Vega did allow three of Rodriguez's baserunners to score.
