Watching a former Horn completely by chance - Lucas Gordon pitching for the Winston-Salem Dash. Up 2-0 in the 3rd!

And the Drive came back on him to tie it 2-2, but the Dash won 3-2. Eddie Park, who played for Stanford, had some electric baserunning to score the winning run.

The Angels are signing reliever Corey Knebel to a minor league contract, as first reflected on the MLB.com transaction log. He’ll report to Triple-A Salt Lake. Knebel was granted his release from a non-roster deal with the White Sox earlier this month.

Now 32, Knebel is trying to get back to the majors for the first time since 2022. He has generally been a productive pitcher when healthy — highlighted by an All-Star season as Milwaukee’s closer back in ’17 — but has had various arm issues. He underwent a Tommy John procedure in 2019 and subsequently missed time with lat and shoulder concerns. Knebel didn’t pitch last season as he rehabbed a capsule strain that he suffered with the Phillies two years ago.

Most of his time with Chicago was also spent on the minor league IL. Knebel made six rehab appearances split between the complex and High-A. He only pitched six times for Triple-A Charlotte, though he impressed with 5 1/3 scoreless frames while striking out eight. While it wasn’t enough to convince the Sox to give him a look, that production evidently intrigued the Los Angeles front office.

It’s a fairly inconsequential move for the Halos, who aren’t anywhere near the playoff mix. Knebel will return to free agency this offseason regardless of whether he makes the MLB team. The final six weeks could serve as an audition as he tries to secure a big league opportunity going into 2025.

I checked Faltine's stats again.  His batting average is still bad and he strikes out almost half the time.  He has been pretty consistent in that since he turned pro.  As I recall, he set the UT single season record for strikeouts and hasn't been able to improve on that.  His move is from A to A+, where he was about 2 years ago for awhile, so there must be a need for a body in Dayton.  He is such a good infielder if he can improve his hitting his chance of moving up to AA or AAA will drastically improve.
