PCA with three hits including a double. It's gonna be interesting to see if they bump him up at any point. On the one hand I think we as fans are often too quick to say a guy needs the bump, but at the same time it sounded like PCA was close to opening the year in SB anyway

 

Riley Martin is definitely going to need the bump soon though. 7 Ks and 3 groundballs to 10 batters faced so far, and he might not be done. We *REALLY* need a reliable velo check on him.

PCA is forcing the organizations decision with his good play. That’s great to see

PCA stole home as well. I think that’s 7 steals already.

Right, he was close to starting the year with SB so he probably doesn’t need as long as most prospects take to get bumped up at the start of the season. Could just swap him with Owen Caissie.

Is Brennen hurt? That's two games in a row he didn't play

Thankfully I think we'd have heard about it. While minor league injury notes are tough to get they're usually better at Iowa, plus with Brennen's notoriety one of the beat guys would have gotten a note.

 

On the injury front though, it does seem pretty clear that Kevin Made did in fact re-injure himself when he left his first game back. That was last Sunday and hasn't had a PA since.
