Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: June 22
Chase StrumpfNelson Velázquez and Manuel Rodríguez were placed on the taxi squad today. I assume this means they’re headed to London so that if someone gets hurt in the Saturday’s game, they’ll be ready to added to the roster for Sunday’s game.
I spent most of the evening locked out of my laptop, so I apologize for being late tonight. And apologizes in advance if I miss something.
Iowa Cubs
The Iowa Cubs plucked the Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals), 9-5.
Starter Riley Thompson came one out away from a win, going 4.2 innings and allowing two runs on three hits. He struggled to throw strikes, however, as he walked six and struck out four. Thompson threw 89 pitches and only 46 of them were strikes.
