One small Phillies note in here about Rincon. Law thinks he is more of an everyday player now. Says he should be in AAA by now but Reading has a shot at the playoffs so more likely he stays where he is.

What stood out from two days of minor-league scouting across the Mets, Nationals...

[andyb]

Arizona Fall rosters to be named shortly. Nori with his injuries seems an obvious candidate. Doubt they will want to extend Wood's innings. Maybe we'll finally see Chace back on the mound?

8/26/26 : News and Notes

[andyb]

DSL MVP and top prospect - Francisco Renteria. No FCL mentions but none were really expected.

And more good Carmack.

Kyler Carmack made his second appearance out of the Clearwater bullpen. Struck out 2 of the 3 batters he faced, fastball 96-97, cutter was 91-92, and sweeper was 83-84 with 2800+ RPM

Why is Spangler always DH ? Shouldn't he be getting reps in the infield ?

[andyb]

His defense may have been a bit behind because of his back injury and they also probably don't want him learning new positions right away.

I don't think it means much other than caution. Hopefully Ferrara plays well enough to get to Jersey Shore next year so Spangler can have most of the SS playing time at the beginning of the year. Parra is likely more FCL than Clearwater I imagine.
