Good news on Brewers No. 2 prospect Luis Peña, who had another health scare on Tuesday night: After sitting out yesterday's day game he is expected back in the @TimberRattlers lineup tonight. https://t.co/a7GdefzoZ7
TJ Shook became the 174th former @TimberRattlers player to make to "The Show" when he pitched a scoreless inning for the @Rockies last night! #TRatNation https://t.co/P3BaSNIbkq
I missed the fine print yesterday. It's funny because it's true...and also Ironic...because this morning I was locked out of the press box because I arrived too early for the @TimberRattlers day game.
@jleeman32@AdamMcCalvy@TimberRattlers Coulter hit 22 homers in 2014 when the team was still the Low-A affiliate of the Brewers.
Co-holders of the team record for homers in a single season:

Clint Coulter (2014)
For Context: Fischer is now tied for the Most HRs in a single season by a @TimberRattlers hitter since the move to the High A Classification in 2021
Andrew Fischer - 16 homers in 45 games
Thomas Dillard - 16 homers in 78 games (2021)

Brewers prospect Luis Peña exited the game early tonight with an illness, the team says. Obviously concern is going to be high after his monthlong absence after fainting in the dugout in April.

The Rockies announced today the following transactions:
- Selected the contract of RHP TJ Shook (#52) from Triple-A Albuquerque.
- Optioned RHP Zach Agnos to Triple-A.
- Transferred LHP Welinton Herrera to the 60-day IL.
Rob Z was especially high on praise for OF Luis Lara.
"He's one of the toughest outs I've seen in Triple-A," he said. "He just works a count. Even if you get him out it's going to take 6 pitches or a barrel to the warning track or something."
Asked Rob Zastryzny today what he thought about the Class AAA Nashville Sounds after his time rehabbing down there.
"That's one of the best Triple-A teams I've ever seen," he said.
Sunday Afternoon Baseball for the @TimberRattlers and Peoria Chiefs.

Drew and I hugged after Jacob Misiorowski's first start as a Timber Rattler (6/8/23 at West Michigan). You may laugh, but you would have been overcome with emotion after seeing this pitching performance and what was ahead for Miz.
Fun Fact on tonight's NCAA Regional Game at Auburn between the Milwaukee Panthers & UCF Knights. Former @TimberRattlers Pitching Coach Drew Thomas is the Pitching Coach for UCF. He left the Rattlers to take the Central Florida job after a win at Great Lakes on 6/18/23.
