Rochester Red Wings, 10-2, 1st Place I.L. East, 2GA (48-37 overall)
As you might have heard by now, Brady House has been promoted to the Red Wings, which may have been foreshadowed by Carter Kieboom’s recent starts at 1B for Rochester. Statistically, this seems like a stretch: House has been hovering in the range of .230/.310/.420 with moderate power but a fair amount of whiffs (75K in 75G), albeit somewhat less over the last five weeks (20 in 28G). But, the Nats have pushed guys up that didn’t seem ready statistically a few times already this season and have been more or less right, though most have been pitchers.
Meanwhile, Rochester is riding a hot streak and leading the International League with a 10-2 mark in the second half. This week, they play the last full series before the All-Star break against Worcester, which includes a matinee on Wednesday. Roster moves: 3B Brady House promoted from Harrisburg; RHP Luke Farrell released.
Harrisburg Senators, 3-9, 6th Place E.L. Southwest, 6GB (41-40 overall)
The flip side to the House promotion is that a weak offense just got weaker. Harrisburg is currently on a four-game slide and has been shut out four times in the last 11 games with House. Kevin Made, acquired last July in the Jeimer Candelario trade with the Cubs, has been pushed up from Wilmington while Jordy Barley, acquired at the 2021 trade deadline, was released.
The Senators remain on the road, heading south to Richmond (hopefully not like Sherman) for six against the Flying squirrels. Roster moves: SS Kevin Made promoted from Wilmington; SS Jordy Barley released.
Wilmington Blue Rocks, 5-9, 5th Place Sally Lg. North, 6½ GB (36-44 overall)
The Blue Rocks broke even with Jersey Shore in their split home-and-home series that MiLB presumably created to assure both teams could have 4th of July nights. This week they’re back home to host the Cyclones for six, waiting for Diamond Baseball Holdings to make them an offer the Nats to send help from Fredericksburg.
Fredericksburg Nationals, 12-3, 1st Place C.L. North, 4GA (47-34 overall)
The FredNats are riding a nine-game win streak, including a six-game sweep of the Shorebirds. They return to Fredericksburg to host first-half champions Carolina with a chance to extend their four-game lead in the division.
FCL Nationals, 20-23, 3rd Place FCL East, 12GB
The FCL Nationals won three of five last week but only play four this week, and only once in West Palm Beach. Reminder: The FCL season ends on July 25, just nine days after the First Year Player Draft ends.
DSL Nationals, 9-15, 6th Place DSL Central, 10GB
The D-Nats won just once last week and have sunk into 6th place, three games out of fifth and two games ahead of seventh place. This week, it’s away games today and Saturday and home games tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday.
