Carolina Press Release: RHP Jack Hostetler placed on 7-day IL as of 6/5 The Mudcats roster is currently at 26 active players and 4 on the injured list. *** Considering the A-Ball levels are allowed to roster 30 (AA and AAA 28), the Mudcats are running lean. As noted above, Ayendy Bravo will boost that to 27 once official. From @Joseph Zarr in Wednesday night's Link Report: "The real story in this one will likely be RHP Jack Hostetler leaving early. He left immediately after a change-up ran low and away arm side. He was seen flexing his hand and you could also tell it was a problem immediately. This is yet another tough injury pill to swallow for us Fanatics. We can hope for the best here. It just did not look like a good situation. He exited after 1 2/3 IP of 3 H, 1 BB, 2 K, 2 ER work. It stings in multiple ways. Hostetler just worked back from injury. He is an upside starter. He has a legitimate five pitch mix where he can attack every part of the zone in different ways. Baseball gods, I beg of you: Can we have nice things? Please? We soldier on. All the best Mr. Hostetler."
