Congratulations to Tennessee Smokies outfielder Brennen Davis and South Bend Cubs right-hander Ryan Jensen, who were named the official Cubs Minor League Player and Pitcher of the Month respectively.
Outfielder Nelson Velazquez and catcher Jake Washer were promoted from South Bend to the Smokies. I’m going to ask in advance for your patience when I mix up Smokies outfielders Nelson Velazquez and Nelson Maldonado.
