I am going with the idea that Tanner’s Dad knows what is going on!

Good for Tanner. I have a particular interest in starters who have no significant injury history as a pro or before. Perhaps family social media protocol could use work, don’t scoop your kid’s boss, but I too am a dad, so yeah. Congrats on your son’s success Mr. Franklin.
Peoria losing some good players, but the promotions are deserved.

Prieto getting the call up to replace Nootbaar. No Baez. Not even Saggese. I guess Baez needs more work and Torres gets some more runway in LF.
Either more work for Baez or keeping his rookie eligibility for next year.
But I’m surprised it’s Prieto instead of Saggese. Saggese is more versatile defensively and seems to have been hitting better at Memphis. Saggese’s OPS was .808 in July to Prieto’s .681. Maybe they have Saggese working on something and want him to continue? Or they want him to play, but Prieto’s job will be to ride the bench? Or they’re hoping Prieto can show something so we can get something for him in the offseason when we need to clear roster space? Weird.
But yeah, I’d think of a lot of Torres and Fermin in LF, at least for the next 10 days or so.
Hah!
And it’s Mathews who gets sent down to make room for Ferguson. So looks like we will get run of Dobbins in the rotation. I had thought someone official said they wanted to keep Mathews up, but maybe the extensive use of relievers caused this move? Dunno.
