Some minor league moves for Thursday regarding the Bradenton Marauders and Greensboro Grasshoppers. If anything else pops up, we will add it here.
Third baseman Jack Brannigan has returned to Bradenton. He has been on the 7-day Injured List since April 15th. He played just six games before suffering an undisclosed injury. He was hitting .286/.444/.381 at the time through 27 plate appearances.
Last year’s third round pick already had experience with Bradenton coming into the year, so he should move up to Greensboro if he has a decent stretch coming up. That would be a better level for a high draft pick from a major college, especially with previous Low-A experience.
Infielder Rayber Romero has been assigned to the FCL Pirates. That’s a paper move, as their season doesn’t start for three weeks. He struggled in a bench role replacing Brannigan, hitting .081/.292/.135 in 49 plate appearances over 18 games.
Pitcher Will Kobos was placed on the 7-day IL, after leaving his last game early with the trainer. He was absolutely dominating at Greensboro this year until the last two batters he faced, which may have been injury related looking back on it. Those are the only two runs he has allowed, while giving up just four hits in 17 innings.
No one has replaced Kobos on the roster yet.
