Lots of transactions today.
Starting out, left-hander Evan Aschenbeck was promoted to South Bend from Myrtle Beach. It was clear that Low-A wasn’t challenging Aschenbeck, so it’s good to see the Cubs make the move sooner rather than later.
Right-hander Frankie Scalzo Jr. was promoted to Triple-A Iowa from Double-A Knoxville.
Knoxville added right-hander Antonio Santos.
Finally, right-handers Jackson Kirkpatrick and Dominic Hambley join Myrtle Beach.
Bad news out of Iowa (technically, Louisville) tonight.
Iowa Cubs
The Iowa Cubs were battered by the Louisville Bats (Reds), 8-4.
