Darel Belen up to Salem. Not sure I would categorize it as a straight-up promotion, as he's been struggling to start the year. Salem really needed a first baseman though.

He's also 21 and the FCL needs to clear room. Makes some sense.
I don't know that they needed a 1B necessarily as Northcut has been getting a lot of time at 1B (which is something we figured would probably happen), with Erro and Flores mostly playing 3B. I do think he's a nice fit for that roster though in that he can play both 1B and corner OF - he and Jonathan Diaz basically take Scott's place.

Looks like both DSL teams will have doubleheaders. Busy day at the complexes.

It will be interesting to see how well Groome pitches today. If he puts up a stinker one could shake it off as rust but it would be VERY nice to see him pick up right where he left off. This may be his first time pitching after a layoff, not due to any type of injury but rather enjoying life's precious moments. Hoping for the best for him.

DSL teams looking like they dont want to get traded. One hit through 6 innings combined

Cottam to Portland per Drive Twitter Greenville has weirdly been late to announce promotions. He was scheduled to be in the Sea Dogs lineup yesterday before the rainout. |

Even while trying to stay out of the trade deadline scope, Johnfrank is too good, and doubles in the go ahead runs.

Small sample size still, but Yizreel Burnet's DSL line now is: 12IP, 3H, 1ER, 5BB, 13K. All five of those BBs came in his first outing.

Any concern blaze isn’t in lineup today? He came in as a pinch hitter in the bottom 9th - down by two with two men on - and was intentionally walked. And Juan Montero hits a bases clearing double to walk it off. FCL Red Sox now 14-1 in their last 15 games. |

We're seriously intentionally walking batters in the FCL?

Really for Groome this year is still about getting through the year healthy, stats be damned. Next year will be the year to show he's a future MLB starter... he's going to run out of options really fast.

Downs went deep. His 8th nuke of the season (line drive variety, I ❤ those).
Clearly rewarding the F.O for not trading him

Yairo Muñoz for Player of The Month! (Also, bring him up for Santana.)

I mean I love it, but he sure was sure that ball was at least 6 inches over the fence?

According to the Trackman data that the Kannapolis announcer has, Liu is hitting 95 with the fastball and keeping that velocity into the 4th inning so far.

Groome done after a rough two innings. Not surprising that he would struggle after almost a month off. Hopefully he can regain the momentum from before.

Matthew Lugo is hitting over .300 in July after a tough May and June. Hopefully trending in the right direction at the plate.
