Emannoel Madeira made his DSL debut today, 3 innings for the DSL Cubs Red....Listed 6'3" 225, born 8/20/06 (pro debut came at 16, not even 17 until the end of DSL season), signed out of  Brazil

Derniche Valdez 0/4 with 4 Ks down in the DSL today. Angel Cepeda and Ludwing Espinoza both had the day off.

Rojas at SS and Hernández at 2B today (a day after it was Rojas at SS and Hernández at DH):

 

[TomtheBombadil]

^^ Tbf to Hernandez this is likely just feeding the algorithms. Rojas isn’t actually a SS prospect and Hernandez isn’t necessarily hurt by taking PAs and defensive innings elsewhere  

[CubinNY]

who is Felix Stevens? Is he a prospect?

I just looked him up. No one has to respond. 23 triple low A season.

Alcantara is hitting the ball hard, but he's not elevating the ball.

Howard looks like he's put on some upper body muscle while while he was rehabbing. 

[TomtheBombadil]

Just 5 swings and missed in 34 pitches for Howard these two games, 0/4 tn with two many GBs

——

4 shutout for Santy…I’m liking the years he and Arias are having

——

Carlos Garica going for the ACL Cubs

It’s Howard’s 2nd game

[TomtheBombadil]

^^ I think he knows the clock’s a’tickin’ and the vultures are circling. It’s an intense year! That swing and miss stuff shows up early and those are good numbers! 

Nice 3.2 shutout start from Carlos Garcia, 7 Ks
