Sixto update. Not unexpected. At least he seems to be throwing well.

Meghan Montemurro (M_Montemurro)

I had heard that about Sixto when I was down in Clearwater last week. I was also able to see him a couple of times watching GCL games from behind the backstop with some of the other young pitchers. Sixto looks a good 15 pounds bigger than I recall from his days in Lakewood early in 2017. How much of that is working out, natural filling out, or maybe not being in tip-top condition....I don't have an answer.

I see Adam Haseley is not playing again at Reading and noticed he was placed on the "temporary inactive list" on Saturday. If not the specific reason, perhaps someone can tell me what types of things result in that type of move. I'm guessing some kind of personal reasons; hope all will be ok soon if that's the case.

[rkeden]

Is Hasely allowed to be moved up to LV and then be eligible for the playoffs?

[zambonir]

Sure there's no limits to intra-minor moves besides roster caps right?

And yeah no reason to worry about Haseley. Something family-related probably. Meanwhile Taveras cleared waivers.

Crawford 2-5 with a 3B and HR. Starting to get his swing back.

[Austinfan]

Viza with a nice game for Reading, got promoted too fast, struggled in Lehigh but seems to have found his footing.
The non-prospect Russo keeps pumping out good starts.
