Crap:

He struck out the side in the 9th. 11 pitches, 10 for strikes,

If he’s available it makes some sense to take him I guess, but it’s hard to imagine McLain reaches 21. There’s not many college hitters in this draft with a meatier resume, he’s one of the few who hit with wood bats in the CCBL plus is a 3 year starter, and he’s played a bunch of positions after being drafted in the first out of HS. Alex Binelas in the 2nd round. Meh.

Yeison Santana was indeed demoted to Arizona:

Made’s second pro hit is a double:

Alex Mills gets the start tonight for Iowa.

Jordan Nwogu is back from a hamstring injury.

Eh, 22 isn’t crazy young for AA more like a good, solid age for a starting level prospect. He’s outstanding but Amaya’s not the kind of prospect who should be considered untouchable, especially with a horse like Contreras on the ML roster under contract Is that adjusting all ages by a year? Because it's really like being 21 at AA in normal circumstances. Still not crazy young, but pretty good. Re: This year - Amaya has had 4 at bats vs pitchers younger than him:

Especially when you also consider his age compared to the league.

Miguel Amaya 3-run HR

Guessing Yeison Santana is going on the IL/to Arizona as the corresponding move since Made is taking his number.

I’ve seen nothing. Minor league injury info is about as hard to come by as college football.

He’s still 18 and would become the youngest player on the roster (Howard and Piñango were also born in 2002 but are already 19).

Trevor Megill is back on the rehab trail with the I-Cubs.

Looks like the batter was mad about a pitch up and in earlier:
