After a boring update on Sunday because of another quiet week of winter league action, things picked up a little this week. On Tuesday night, Rodolfo Castro got his first start, playing third base for Toros del Este. He was then joined by relievers Hunter Stratton and Cristofer Melendez on Wednesday night, so we now get our first mid-week winter league update.
Castro went 0-for-2 with two walks in his season debut. He did not play on Wednesday night
Melendez, who reached 100 MPH with his fastball at Altoona this year, had a rough debut for Tigres del Licey.
