Jordan Wicks graduates off Prospects list. Christian Franklin is new #30. Luke Little will be the next to graduate off the list in a few days. Horton passes PCA. National Opinions:Iowa (9:25) -- Toledo (ICubs current opponent) mentioned after Iowa Tennessee (18:00) -- Birmingham (White Sox) rated #1 "AA" Pitching ICYMI: Norfolk (Orioles) is so much better than everybody else, it isn't funny. How much? LOL. Their TEAM OPS is 1.156 They have scored 96 Runs ( 12.25 per game) The next best (Durham - Tampa) have score 55 BTW: Iowa's Team ERA is #1 in the International League (3.00)

Would love to see him get called up . I don't think any team has ever had two 6'8" lefties in their pen.

With Merryweather going down with a shoulder strain that I would assume at some point put him on the 60 day, Weick might make it back to the majors at some point Would be a great story even though losing Merryweather is a kick in the nuts

PCA was removed from yesterday’s game with “right elbow soreness” from an outfield dive in a prior game. The Cubs say his removal was out of an abundance of caution

New injury to Brennan Davis , or atleast new to me. I thought he had not been playing because of being hit in the head , apparently he injured his arm sliding into a base about a month ago. Can we get this guy a plastic bubble to cover his uniform.

But also the same shoulder he had surgery on, also after a dive into a base. Slightly concerning, might be time to reconsider the dives for a bit. Hard to enforce defensively, but got to instill a mindset of keeping yourself healthy.

Kohl Franklin getting promoted to Iowa. My guess is that he's taking a spot for someone (Thompson + Wesneski?) who's coming up (Merryweather on the 60-day IL? + Cuas DFA? who's going to claim him, guys, c'mon).
