Did they say the injury?

 

That stinks.

Nope:

 

Daytona News-Journal[/url]"]OF NOTE: Utility player Alberto Garcia got an unexpected birthday present Tuesday when he was informed that he'll be joining the Triple-A Iowa Cubs today. . . . Pitcher Chris Shaver will be put on the disabled list today. . . .

[Guest]

Daytona News-Journal says Reinhard will start for Daytona today.

[Guest]

So far, in the two earlier games, the highlights are a Jake Fox solo HR (Tenn up 1-0 in the 2nd) and Tyler Colvin at 2/2 (Daytona up 5-0 after 2).

[Guest]

Iowa down 2-1 after 3.

 

Tennessee up 3-2 in the 5th. Fox with 2 solo HRs and Kroeger with 1.

 

Daytona up 7-3 in the 5th. Reinhard with 4 shutout. Platt struggled in an inning of relief after being called up from Peoria.

 

Peoria down 4-2 in the 3rd.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Fox continues to hit.

[Flames24Rulz]

Tennessee lost 10-3. All of the offense was from the two solo shots by Fox and the solo shot by Kroeger. Berg was roughed up for 7 runs in 5 innings and Mendez gave up 3 in 2 and 1/3.

 

Daytona won 7-5. Downs picked up the win in relief. He gave up 2 unearned runs and struck out 4 in 2 and 2/3's. Layden picked up his 3rd save of the season as he struck out 3 of the 4 batters he faced. Colvin was 3/5 with a double and two RBI's. Amador was 3/5 with a triple, a stolen base, and an RBI. Robinson Chirinos also had three hits tonight. Every position player had at least one hit except Dopirak, who went 0/4 with 3 strikeouts...

 

Iowa just beat New Orleans, 9-6. Walrond gave up 4 runs in 7 and Henderson gave up the other 2 in just 1/3 of an inning. Piggy, Bailey, and Clay Rapada (who picked up his 9th save) shut down New Orleans for the final inning and 2/3's. Soto and Richie each hit HR's. Soto also had a double. EPatt and Fontenot were each 2/5. Hoffpauir doubled as well.

 

Peoria down 6-4 in the 8th. That game is currently being delayed due to rain.

Jason Wylie showed up pitching for Clearwater today.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

man I wish Fox could catch.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Soto's OPS is now north of .900

[don_kessinger_was_good]

What are they waiting for in promoting Kroeger? Seriously, has he not proved he can absolutely destroy AA pitching at this point? Let's challenge him at a higher level, please.

[karenmac]

I wish they would just release Dope already. Norwood's been looking great here in Peoria, and he needs to be back in Daytona.

[wvcbxl]

Alessandro Maestri back in relief :D

 

Starting him was worth a try, but this seems to suit him much better.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I wish they would just release Dope already. Norwood's been looking great here in Peoria, and he needs to be back in Daytona.

 

I'm ecstatic that he's still taking up a spot on the 40 man roster
