I didn't have much time last night so I just copied and pasted the updates @indiansPro gave on Twitter.

Zach Plesac continues to do very well coming back from his TJ surgery. 4 more shutout innings last night. Now in 17 pro innings he's allowed 8 hits, 2 walks, 21 K. 1.06 ERA. 0.59 WHIP.

One of our draft picks this year, Eli Morgan, continues to impress. 3 shutout innings last night. 1 hit. 7 K. ... His best pitch at Gonzaga was his changeup. I read how good it was when we selected him. He now has 14 K's in 7 innings. That must be some changeup.

Our second pick this year, Tyler Freeman continues to just kill it. 3-5 with a double, homer, and 3 RBI last night. He's hitting .444 in his young pro career now.

Former draft pick, LHP Sean Brady, has been out quite a while following surgery. He had his first outing last night. Got smacked around but at least he's back.

Clippers lost to our old friends in Buffalo 7-5. ... Yandy went 2-4 and is hitting .339 now.

AZL Tribe still off on all star break.

DSL Indians lost to Rangers 6-4. ... M.Gonzalez 0-3 with 2 walks. ... Lopez 1-5. ... This might get a bit confusing but noticed the DSL team had a catcher make all star team named Yainer Diaz. Sounds a lot like Yandy. Anyway, thought I'd better start giving him a look. He went 2-2 with a walk.

DSL Indian/Brewers beat Pirates 8-7. ... None of our guys did anything of note.

In Akron Michael Peoples was placed on 10 day DL, Mitch Brown was activated.

In Columbus Banwart was activated from DL.

Gabriel Mejia is beginning a rehab stint in Arizona tonight. That's good. He was my pick as a position player to break out this year. I would have a better chance of that happening if he is actually on the field.

Lynchburg played a double header too against Winston Salem. Lost game one 3-0. ... Chiang gets back on track. 6 IP, 6H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 K. ... Haggerty got the only hit.
They win game two 5-0 on another great outing by Bieber. 6 IP, 7 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K. Another outing with no walks. ... Collins 3-4 with a double and 4 RBI.

Lake County with a scheduled night off.

Scrappers beat the MuckDogs 8-3. ... Hockin very good. 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K. ... Our 5th round pick this year, Austen Wade, went 2-4 with a double, homer and a walk. ... Taylor 1-5 with a SB. ... Oscar G 2-5 with a double. ... Benson is sick of me ragging on him, he's been hot lately. 2-2 with a tripe, a SB, and 2 walks tonight.

The Rubber Ducks win game Two big 11-4 over the Ponies. ... Dominic DeMasi made his first start since promotion from Lynchburg and it was a good one. 5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K. ...

Tanner Tully and Liandro Lineras have been promoted to Akron. Tully all the way from Low-A. Might just be temporary to fill in for an injury or because of all the DH'ers. But good for them.

Indians MiLB hits leaders since start of 2016

Willi Castro 230
Francisco Mejia 217
Tyler Krieger 211
Yandy Diaz 210
Connor Marabell 209

Castro always seems to be over-looked when our SS prospects are talked about. In my opinion he's a better prospect than Chang, and will probably end up better than Gonzalez, at least hitting anyway.

Ben Krauth getting a start today. Anxious to see how that goes.
