Via the Journal-Sentinel's Todd Rosiak -- I’ve been told that RHP Corbin Burnes will remain at Class AA Biloxi. News that he was promoted to Class AAA Colorado Springs is erroneous. *** We did hint on the forum that this was a possibility. The biggest winner in all this -- Biloxi's playoff chances!

So it appears the two Dominican Summer League games from Thursday that were suspended won't be made up. The teams that they played aren't on the schedule the rest of the way. If that changes, we'll catch it. Our intrepid Toby only has to post on two games today, not four...

At Colorado Springs, RHP Hiram Burgos is placed on the Helena paper roster to make room for the arrival of the outrighted Michael Blazek. Doesn't seem to me any of the other seven Pioneer League parent clubs quite make use of the taxi squad flexibility quite this way, and the Brewers' use of the practice, growing in recent years, doesn't seem to be upsetting MiLB. Makes sense, it'd be a nightmare to have to release guys, bring them back, etc.

Brewers reach into the independent ranks after Lewis Brinson's injury, sign veteran speedster OF Quintin Berry (career stats). This will aid the organization on a few fronts -- pick up AB's for the AAA club through the end of the Sky Sox regular season, cover for September call-ups after September 1st and for Colorado Springs' run in the Pacific Coast League playoffs, and potentially add a pinch-runner element for the big league club for September or even the postseason. The now 32-year-old Berry was added to playoff team rosters with Detroit in 2012 and Boston in 2013 (specifically for that pinch-running purpose with the Red Sox). We had recently mentioned here that Biloxi's Johnny Davis could potentially be added to the 40-man roster as of September 1st for that reason as well. Also, listen if you haven't already -- Here's the Atlantic League press release on the signing.

Worth another look --

Final, Game One: Iowa 1, Colorado Springs 0 (walk-off loss) That's right, RHP Angel Ventura retired the first 18 men he faced, and he walks off a losing pitcher on one pitch. Colorado Springs Game One Box Score Ivan De Jesus, Jr. had two hits and Kirk Nieuwenhuis reached all three times up, but the Sky Sox stranded six (0-for-7 with RISP). Colorado Springs Game One Game Log Behold Ventura's work, three K's. *** Final, Game Two: Iowa 6, Colorado Springs 0 (walk-off loss) Via the Sky Sox: Ivan De Jesus tallied another hit in the sixth inning of game two, ending the night by recording three of the five total hits for the Sky Sox (71-51)in the twinbill. Brett Phillips recorded the other hit of game two and has hit safely in seven of the last 10 games.

Final: Orem 5, Helena 2 Helena Drops Series Finale Against Owlz Brewers strikeout 16 times in loss to Orem By Garrett Greene / Helena Brewers *** ARTICLE: The Helena Independent Record game story includes quotes and several photos, one mis-identified as Gilbert Lara. *** Helena Box Score CF Tristen Lutz, again batting 3rd, was 2-for-4; RF Jose Gomez and his reduced-frame mini-strike zone walked three times, but that hasn't been a huge part of his game, 15 walks in 124 AB's.

This tweet says Hiura is "tender".

AUDIO via the Shuck Dynasty Soundcloud: "Radio highlights from Thursday night's Biloxi 4-2 win over Jackson in extras."

In very vague terms, we learn Roegner is likely done for 2017. Better news on Neuhaus.

Final, Game Two: Beloit 3, Wisconsin 1 Snappers Top Timber Rattlers to Earn Doubleheader Split Beloit beats Wisconsin 3-1 in game two of Thursday's twinbill By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers *** Wisconsin Game Two Box Score No Keston Hiura in either game of the doubleheader - one figures he might have had a scheduled sit-out after playing in the field for the first time, but then Wednesday's rainout would have taken care of that. Wisconsin Game Two Game Log When you read the circumstances of how Beloit scored their runs in that game summary linked above, it's certainly frustrating. Then again, need to score more than one run.

Final, Game One: Wisconsin 7, Beloit 3 Rattlers Beat Beloit in Game One Wisconsin wins third straight by taking lid-lifter from Snappers By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Zach Clark races for the plate as Joantgel Segovia cruises into second base on Thursday in game one of Thursday's doubleheader at Pohlman Field. Segovia put the Rattlers up 3-0 with a two-out, three-run double in the top of the second inning of the game. *** VIDEO TWEET: The final out *** Wisconsin Game One Box Score RHP Josh Pennington gets his first Brewers' organization win, as he's been stretched to five innings (77 very effective pitches in this one, as you read in the game summary linked above). Wisconsin Game One Game Log

AUDIO via the Rattler Radio Soundcloud: "This week’s Chat with Matt Erickson covers Keston Hiura’s first game in the field, Devin Hairston, Zach Clark, Josh Pennington, updates on Cameron Roegner and Tucker Neuhaus, and the Rattlers being in the pennant race."

Love the intensity of a 12-year-old Cooper Hummel!

Technically, that move was to make room for RHP Hiram Burgos, up from Biloxi. But lookie here. If not a misplaced entry by one of the affiliates, RHP Corbin Burnes, who already skipped Wisconsin, is double-jumping from Carolina to Biloxi to Colorado Springs this year.

RHP Tim Dillard is removed from the Sky Sox roster for the 7th time this season, placed on the Helena paper roster.

Noting SS Jean Carmona's jump from the DSL to Maryvale by copying some of Toby's Link Report text -- Another day, another surprise promotion from the DSL, another loss. As I said above, 17 year old bonus baby Jean Carmona was promoted stateside after a successful DSL campaign. Carmona had 18 errors (.919 FPCT) in the DSL. Carmona slashed .302/.406/.447 for the main DSL squad. In addition to the excellent OBP, his ISO of .145 was about 1.7 times DSL league average. So the 6'1, 183 pound switch hitter has some thump. The concept of a 17 year old Latin American signee playing in the AZL for the Brewers is somewhat novel, and encouraging. Then again, the same was said about Gilbert Lara.
