Hudson with perfect game through 5.

 

Ryan Kelley didn't have a perfect game, gave up 5 runs in the first and got knocked out.

 

The poor guy has allowed 39 hits in his last 14 innings over his last 5 starts!

D.J. Wilson homer. He's really doing well since coming back.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

In 11 games since being moved back to South Bend, Wilson is hitting .310/.370/.595 with 3 homers and a 14.9% K% in 47 PA.

 

That's after hitting 3 homers in 8 AZL ABs.

Maples with a little intro to AAA... It's nice he's resurrected himself this year, but his control has to improve a lot to get out of the minors.

 

Mekkes keeps on destroying A ball, I want to see him in AA as soon a possible... Last October that guy from The Baseball Draft Report said Mekkes could be pitching the show in 2017. If the Cubs were a little more aggressive with Mekke's promotions, I think that guy would have been right.

Yeah, we can pretty clearly put those "Ben Revere type power" claims to rest. As long as he can make adequate contact, he's going to be a player.
