Good lord that's awful.  I don't know that we've had an affiliate this bad since the farm was at its nadir in 2019.  Hopefully Gray and Wiggins are at South Bend and not the IL.

Seems like Ben Leeper has been at AA for five years.

Per Jim Callis, Drew Gray is injured (shoulder).

Also Brody McCullough has a forearm injury.

Having both Frisch and Burl Callaway on rosters, kinds crazy.  

Did I see Koen Moreno anywhere?

Crazy indeed, and you didn't even mention Ben Leeper. 

"Carraway cemented himself as the top reliever in the 2020 draft class when he made five appearances for USA Baseball's Collegiate National Team and didn't allow a run. Carraway is a pure reliever with a slight frame and a “violent” high-effort delivery ..."  Burl was shut down in 2022  after a May 21 outing with an elbow fracture.  Burl did not pitch for the Cubs in 2023 and spent 2024 on the full-season IL. 

Will had TJ surgery on March 1, 2022, spent 2023 on the DL before debuting in the AZ instructional league in late September 2023.  He opened 2024 on the 60-day DL before appearing in his first game on June 8. After 2 ACL starts he was moved up to low-A where he pitched twice before going on the 60-day DL. 

 

Koen is on the 60-day DL.
