5th rounder Ryan Kellogg was promoted to Eugene. Judging by his Twitter feed, I think Jeremy Null was bumped up to Myrtle Beach.

On the brighter side, Gleyber is 2-2 with a bomb.

Tyler Skulina and Duane Underwood to the DL. :(

 

Any news on what Underwood's is for?

 

ETA that nobody on Twitter seems to know why. One guy said "he didn't look right in his last start."

 

And there's this tweet from Duane from about an hour ago.

 

@dlunderwood94: God doesn't put you in any situation you can't handle. Just another obstacle to overcome love everyone for the support I've gotten #family

 

Doesn't sound like something a guy would post for something minor. But who knows.

 

Oh, and Dunston's apparently back to the DL too.

Contreras was our big bonus IFA when he was 16.(800K maybe back then?) Hes been busted for steroids too, a while ago, if I'm remembering correctly.

 

He's moved off C, then came back. Team leader type, very fiery, solid defensively. Maybe the best defensive C in our system.(can't remember how solid Lopez is).

 

He's flashed some pop and a bit of plate discipline, this is the first time he's really put it together offensively.

 

With catchers developing later, there's reasons to like him. But I'd like to see the offense continue for longer before I'd remotely consider him anything more than a potential backup.

Contreras is the kind of guy you would find in the Cardinals minor league system..

 

No press, no top rankings pizazz than when someone got hurt, business as usual.
