Apparently it's Ryan Kellogg at Tennessee and Adam Laskey at Myrtle Beach. I've had a tough time keeping up with MB's rotation with all their rain outs.

Never mind - Stock clearly isn't starting today for Iowa.

I figure there’ll be a few more navigating to Arizona. Hopefully Cristian is one of them. Thank God. That makes more sense. I know AZ Phil mentioned the Cubs would only be fielding one ACL team, but I couldn't for the life of me understand why that would mean Quintero would play in the DSL especially after already having been stateside for several months. However, with just one Mesa team, I expect Hernandez will play in the DSL. Howard's injury didn't seem very severe. He's already missed 3 weeks. When he comes back, Made (who hasn't been lighting up Low-A) will likely return to Mesa. With Made and Pinango both in Mesa, it might be a little crowded if Hernandez was there as well. Has AZ Phil said anything about the number of DSL teams the Cubs will roster? Did you mean Santana, not Piñango? BA mentioned yesterday the Cubs will have 2 DSL teams (there will be two orgs with no DSL squads).

They only got to 17 but interesting read:

Nahas and Kobos. A couple of good NDFAs. After a quick fangraphs search, I found an interesting Kobos fact: There have been exactly two MiLB (or MLB) players with the last name of Kobos in history. They're both currently at A+. They were also born on the exact same day - 8/3/97. I'm guessing twins? According to MiLB.com, you're right. Will and Scott Kobos.

I'm struggling to find much good news in those box scores. I guess Abbott was okay if you ignore the HRs. Nahas and Kobos. A couple of good NDFAs.

Another outing where Ryan Jensen can't get out of the first inning. Yeesh.

First ExST box score: https://www.thecubreporter.com/06102021/franco-and-caldera-provide-hot-punch-salt-river-fields Lot more interesting guys in the box. I limited the quote to high bonus/top 10 round picks/teenagers traded for Yu Darvish. Arizona Phil confirmed the Cubs will have only 1 team in the newly-named Arizona Complex Leauge.
