DotF: Adams puts up zeroes, Gilliam has huge day at the plate

SS Gleyber Torres (shoulder) is inching closer to return. At least that’s what he said on Twitter. Torres was placed on the seven-day disabled list last Wednesday and he’s not expected to miss much time, so I suppose that means we could see him back as soon as the day after tomorrow. That’d be neat.

Triple-A Scranton had a scheduled off-day.

Double-A Trenton (2-1 win over New Hampshire)

• CF Rashad Crawford & DH Billy McKinney: both 0-4 — McKinney struck out once, Crawford thrice
• SS Thairo Estrada: 1-3, 1 BB — six strikeouts and eight walks in 13 games … he’s been on base 25 times in those 13 games
• 3B Miguel Andujar: 0-3, 1 BB — Ben Badler says he did some light work at first base before the game, though I wouldn’t read too much into that … players work out at other positions all the time
• 2B Abi Avelino: 1-3, 1 SB
• RHP Chance Adams: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 5/4 GB/FB — 53 of 95 pitches were strikes (56%) … down to a 0.82 ERA on the season … ten walks in 22 innings so far, which isn’t great … he didn’t walk his tenth batter until his 30th inning last year

High-A Tampa had a scheduled off-day.

Low-A Charleston (6-5 win over West Virginia)

• SS Diego Castillo: 2-5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K, 1 E (fielding) — had been in a 2-for-24 (.083) slump
• CF Estevan Florial: 1-3, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 BB — 11-for-28 (.393) with four doubles and two homers in his last eight games
• 2B Angel Aguilar: 1-5, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 K
• DH Blake Rutherford: 0-5 — back-to-back games in which he failed to reach base after doing it once in the first 15 games of the season
• 3B Oswaldo Cabrera: 1-4, 1 K
• C Donny Sands: 1-3, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 BB — starting to warm up a bit
• RF Isiah Gilliam: 2-4, 1 R, 1 3B, 1 HR, 4 BI, 1 BB — game-tying two-run homer in the sixth, go-ahead two-run triple in the eighth
• LF Leonardo Molina: 1-4, 1 3B, 3 K
• RHP Adonis Rosa: 4 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 5/3 GB/FB — 44 of 68 pitches were strikes (65%) … taking the rotation spot of RHP Albert Abreu, who was promoted to Tampa over the weekend
