Cleveland Indians minor league report, July: Columbus Clippers, Triple-A
While the Cleveland Indians struggled through the month of July, there were some positive takeaways for the organization. It was a similar story in July for the Columbus Clippers. While the team puttered along to a 9-16record, almost matching that of their major league counterpart, there were bright spots to take away from the month.
Perhaps the best sign was the strong performance from No. 5 prospect Gabriel Arias. The 21-year old middle infielder is making the case to be called up before the end of the season and July played a large role in that.
