He's on the 7-day IL based on MB's roster here (but so is Made and he's batting 2nd for MB right now): https://www.milb.com/myrtle-beach/roster The league's transactions page hasn't been updated to include Made coming off the IL.

Yeah, it was a clear red.

Looks like 21-year old RHP Luis Devers is getting the start for Mesa. This is his stateside debut.

How did Muller not finish there

Pagán and Preciado homered off Taylor Widener.

Yeah, I imagine it's merely a matter of 40 man messiness at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if by August 1st any/all of these guys are out of the org (the latter two would be by trade rather than DFA): Sogard Lobaton Arrieta Ortega Maples Brothers That'll mostly be in service of bringing in better like-for-like options, but should still provide the opportunity to get a look at Leeper or (less likely) Ethan Roberts. Mekkes probably warrants a look before Roberts (obviously Leeper deserves the first chance of anyone not on the 40-man).

Our friend Named After Maddux has a new mock and I like his Cubs pick. And he notes a name for possibly the Cubs second round pick who is in Billy Swoope’s territory (Swoope had Herz and Moreno picked in the Cubs last two drafts). https://ivyfutures.com/2021/06/25/mlb-mock-draft-2021-version-3-0/
