RHP Yovanny Cruz, RHP Tanner Jesson-Dalton, RHP Gabriel Jaramillo, RHP Michael McAvene, RHP Alberto Sojo, RHP Sam Thoresen, and C Tim Susnara will likely be assigned to the ACL Cubs on injury rehab assignments this week.

Adán Sánchez has started his pro career 2/2 with an RBI single and a triple.

 

The Cubs sent Romanian Yoanis Aleksandrov to the DSL which should be quite the culture shock.

Sanchez added another single to go 3 for 3 for the day. Fellow bonus baby Jefferson Rojas went 3 for 4 (all singles) with a HBP and a SB for the other DSL squad.

 

Cristian's little brother went 0 for 3 with 2 Ks in his debut.

These dudes born in 2005 are killing me. I'm officially old...

[CaliforniaRaisin]

21-year old righty Yovanny Cabrera gets the start for the ACL Cubs.

 

CF Ismael Mena leading off, SS Cristian Hernández batting 2nd, C Moises Ballesteros batting 3rd, 2B Pedro Ramírez batting 5th and 3B Rafael Morel 6th.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Cristian hit a 2-run home run in his first official stateside pro AB.

[Tim]

Cristian hit a 2-run home run in his first official stateside pro AB.

I think we've got some reasons to be excited about the system again.

Allow me to ask a very stupid question. PCA got 38 games and 183 PA at Myrtle Beach. Myrtle Beach I believe has 81 games left in their season. Does Hernandez end the year with more or less Myrtle Beach playing time than PCA?

Fewer if he keeps striking out in 30+% of his PA's

If he keeps that up, I'll change my answer to more.

ah so you think he'll get promoted to South Bend that quickly, that's a bold take but I respect you for it

What can I say? I'm a big fan and Jed probably needs a reason to make a trip out to SB anyway.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

In his second PA, the ACL Guardians got Cristian out (not via strikeout).

[CaliforniaRaisin]

And now Yovanny Cruz - who was the talk of 2021 minor league camp before he needed TJS - is pitching the 3rd inning for the ACL Cubs.

Any reports/tweets on the velo? I don't really care about command right now because that is the last thing to return after TJS (and sometimes it never returns along with the stuff).

that looks like a 50-60° launch angle, how close are the RF fences lol

It’s Sloan Park. 398 in RCF and 360 down the line.

Finally found a clip of the HR... Not great filming of it, but we'll take it:

 

Looking at it, I don't think Cristian Hernandez was intending to go opposite field with it and just one of those "happy accident" type outcomes.
