Rochester Red Wings, 6-6, T5th place I.L. East, 3GB
Rochester returns home after a series split in Buffalo to host Toledo for six with a matinee on Wednesday. How the Red Wings rotation will be juggled after LHP Mitchell Parker’s recall to Washington remains to be seen. Parker tossed five innings of two-run ball in Los Angeles last night, becoming the first rookie pitcher to win his debut some some nobody named Stephen Strasburg (was he any good?)
Roster moves: IF Trey Lipscomb optioned from Washington; LHP Mitchell Parker, C Drew Millas recalled to Washington.
Harrisburg Senators, 3-5, 6th place E.L. Southwest, 2GB
The Senators have finally started to hit. Unfortunately, the pitching has fallen to the middle of the pack in the Eastern League. This week the Flying Squirrels come to City Isle for six with five night games and a Sunday afternoon tilt.
Wilmington Blue Rocks, 6-3, T1st place Sally Lg. North, ½ GA
Wilmington is in first place despite having given up more runs than it has scored, skewed by the small sample size and a 10-4 loss on Sunday. This week, the Greenville Drive visit from South Carolina for the first of two series this season between the two teams.
Roster moves: OF Elijah Nunez placed on the 7-Day I.L. (as of 4/13).
Fredericksburg Nationals, 6-3, 2nd place C.L. North, 2GB
Fredericksburg came back down to earth with a series split in Lynchburg, unable to consistently outhit its poor pitching and shoddy defense before tightening up both over the weekend. This week, it’s the one and only series against Fayettville.
