Minor Moves: Quinn Priester and Henry Davis Join Bradenton Tonight

Published:

The Bradenton Marauders are getting some big names tonight on rehab assignments, as both Henry Davis and Quinn Priester are joining the team.

This will be the second rehab game for Davis, who played on Tuesday for the FCL Pirates and went 0-for-3 with a HBP. Before he was put on the injured list with a wrist injury, Davis hit .333/.454/.598 in 22 games for Greensboro and two games for Altoona.

This is the first game of the season for Priester, who injured an oblique late in Spring Training and has been going through some minor mechanical tweaks at Pirate City as he returns to the mound.

Davis is the #2 prospect in the system, while Priester ranks fifth.

Brennan Malone has also been added to the Bradenton roster. Don’t expect him to pitch until Sunday at the earliest. He threw three innings on Tuesday for the FCL Pirates.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
