3.60 ERA (30 IP, 23 H, 15 R, 12 ER, 2 HR, 8 BB, 33 K). He pitched pretty well on the shuttle last year, and his 40-man roster status keeps him in play for more MLB appearances this year.

DH Cole Gabrielson: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K
LHP Kyle Carr: (W, 6-4) 6.1 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, HR
4.31 ERA (56.1 IP, 54 H, 30 R, 27 ER, 5 HR, 24 BB, 68 K). Carr has been very good since the calendar turned to May (7 starts).
RHP Chris Veach: 0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
Veach replaced Carr but didn’t get past the warm-up stage. That’s not typically a good thing. The 24-year-old has been very good between here and Hudson Valley (2.01 ERA in 22.1 innings with a 33/10 K/BB).
RHP Chris Kean: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
3.77 ERA (28.2 IP, 21 H, 13 R, 12 ER, 6 HR, 4 BB, 35 K). Too many home runs, but you have to love the K/BB.
RHP Ben Grable: (S, 3) 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Last eight appearances: 8 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 12 K
Hudson Valley (28-33) (Lost to Jersey Shore, 7-4)
SS Kaeden Kent: 2-for-4, R, BB, K
Kent has back-to-back multi-hit efforts and is hitting .277/.300/.468 with six doubles and a home run this month.
3B Core Jackson: 0-for-5, R, K
Jackson is hitting .252/.370/.439 in 189 PA. He is struggling a bit this month (7-for-32, though he has walked seven times).
DH Eric Genther: 1-for-3, 2B (7), 2 RBI, HBP, K

PH Camden Troyer: 0-for-1, K
LHP Franyer Herrera (L, 3-3): 5 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, HR
5.19 ERA (43.1 IP, 42 H, 31 R, 25 ER, 11 HR, 26 BB, 53 K). Herrera is 2.3 years younger than the league average. He doesn’t generate a lot of ground balls, which leaves him vulnerable to home runs.

LHP Tanner Bauman: 1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 0 K

FCL Yankees (16-14) (Defeated the Tigers, 9-7)

Matic has started the season with a 31-game on-base streak. He is hitting .322/.455/.470 in those 31 games with 17.5% BB and K rates. He has started 19 games at third base and 12 at first base.

LF Robbie Burnett: 2-for-3, 2B (1), HR (1), 2 RBI, 2 R, K
His rehab stint continues. This is his first career double and second career home run.
LF Estivenzon Montero: 0-for-0, BB
2B Dexters Peralta: 0-for-2, R, HBP, BB, K
C Justin Capellan: 0-for-1, R, HBP, BB, K
1B Christofer Reyes: 1-for-3, R
RHP Sabier Marte: 3 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 5 K, HR

RHP Rafael Arias: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, HR
RHP Edinzo Marquez (S, 2): 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
DSL Yankees (4-6) (Defeated the DSL Bombers (hey, they know them!), 9-5. The Yankees are 4th in the league in runs scored with 98 in ten games and lead the league with a whopping 1.018 OPS. Yet, they are 4-6. That’s the DSL!)
LF Isaias Castillo: 2-for-5, 2B (6), HR (7), 5 RBI, 2 R, K
Are you kidding me? Castillo is hitting .419/.500/1.093 in ten games (50 PA). The batting average ranks only 25th in this insane league, but he does lead the league in SLG, home runs, RBI, and runs. I offer no promises of greatness when it comes to rookie league players. It is fun to follow when a kid goes on a nutty streak like this.
SS Stiven Marinez: 1-for-2, 3B (2), R, SB (4), 2 BB, K
Only in the DSL does a 1.265 OPS make you shrug. Marinez ranks 16th with that number.
CF Yostin Pena: 0-for-3, BB, K
2B Juan Torres: 1-for-4, RBI
Torres has hit safely in nine of his ten games this season. In 57 games over his two professional seasons, he is hitting .367/.404/.548 in 218 PA.
RF Manuel Aguilar: 0-for-2, 2 R, HBP, BB, K
DH Cesar Lopez: 2-for-4, HR (1), RBI, 2 R
The 17-year-old launches his first professional home run.
3B Alfred Ciriaco: 1-for-1, 2B (1), 2 R, 2 BB
The 19-year-0ld’s 2026 debut.
3B Abrahan Pichardo: 0-for-0, 2 SB (5), BB
Pichardo is only 3-for-25 but has walked 14 times (40 PA; 35%) and is a perfect 5-for-5 stealing bases. His strikeout rate, however, is 32.5% in this extremely small sample.
RHP Freddy Lopez (W, 1-0): 2.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
In case you are wondering, their team ERA isn’t impressive on the surface (5.89), but it ranks 19th in a 51-team league. There are two teams (DSL Braves and DSL LAD Mega) with team ERA’s above 10.00. And you wonder why it is hard to take the numbers here seriously?
DSL Bombers (2-8) (Lost to the DSL Yankees (hey, they know them!), 9-5)
2B Dariel Santana: 1-for-2, R, 2 SB (4), 2 BB, K
