Here’s the affiliate scoreboard from MiLB.

Something New

I have added a new Google sheet tracking injuries within the organization.  It is as complete as I can make it with the information provided in the transactions and whatever I can glean from online media and talk around the Complex.  I placed it at the end of the Transactions section, just below the organization’s rosters link.  The link is also here.

Transactions:

• 7/24 – Clearwater sent RF Jose Pujols on a rehab assignment to GCL Phillies
• The organization’s rosters are up to date.
• The new organization’s injury list is as up to date as I can make it.

The organization went oh-fer on Sunday.  Ben Lively pitched well for the IronPigs.  Each affiliate had one player knock a home run – LHV: Stassi (2), REA: Stankiewicz (1), CLR: W. Garcia (9), LAK: Hall (19), and WPT: Listi (2).  Carlos Tocci had 5 RBI in a losing cause.
