No Nico again tonight. Aggravated the finger injury?

Don't know, but he got put on the 7 Day DL today.

Missed that. Bummer.

[Hrubes20]

Morel demoted to AZL. Hopefully he can get jumpstarted down there again.

[Hrubes20]

Also, Andy Weber has had about as rough a beginning as I remember a college bat having. After a K in the 1st tonight, he’s 1 for 12 with 8Ks.

Glad to see. And Soto was demoted. Both moves were necessary.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

No better time for Nico to go on the DL than the day before I'm going to see them play.

I'd been thinking exactly the same thing after checking box score and before popping over here.

 

He's added a couple more K's in his 2nd and 3rd AB as well. 10K's in 14 AB, for the line-drive contact hitter that got full slot.

[CubsWin]

Jimmy Herron with his pro HR.

[CubsWin]

After 29 Ks and no walks in 91 ABs in Eugene, Christopher Morel draws a walk in his first game after the demotion. Maybe the kid's getting the message...

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Justin Steele still rehabbing in Arizona: 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K, 5-3 GO-FO

Gotta be time for a bump. Maybe the Cubs want to keep him in Mesa to monitor him at the rehab center, but performance-wise, he's ready.

 

14 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 19 K.

Overslot by a little bit, actually. Sigh,

 

But Cole Roederer is still killing it. 3 for 5 with 2 2Bs and no Ks last night. I really wish we could watch these AZL games on milb.tv.

Did Davis break a rib or something on his belly flop slide?

[CubsWin]

Did Davis break a rib or something on his belly flop slide?

That's what I was wondering. Bruised or broken rib.

[Hrubes20]

Did Davis break a rib or something on his belly flop slide?

 

Only explanation for his absence is that he, along with D.J. Artis, were sacrificed so that we could have Nico and Roederer.
