Juan Cabada: 4/6, 2B (5), HR (2), 2 K - .972 OPS in 65 PA.

Juan Tomás and Wilfri de la Cruz had the day off (third straight game Wilfri has missed).

Cabada!  Tom should be here, he was a Cabada supporter.  :):). Cubs have signed a lot of million-dollar bonus-baby infielders since Gleyber Torres, but Jefferson Rojas is the only one until now who's been able to hit.  Wouldn't it be fun if Cabada was just a true-blue hitter with some power?  Would sure love it.

Ángel Cepeda left the Myrtle Beach game immediately after getting hit by a pitch.

Cam Sisneros continues to rake.  Given his age he's probably not a major prospect until he's doing it at AA, but it's definitely interesting.
