The Brother and his family are in town, so we get to see that crew. It is awesome to be with family, especially when you don’t get to see them as often as you might like.

Over last month, Descalso has started two games, pinch-hit nine times, appeared in 11 games, gone 2-for-15 and logged 19 innings in field.
Maddon, on challenge of keeping DD involved: "It is difficult, but he makes it less difficult. He's a professional. He's always working."

Strange things happening in the Smokies rotation right now. Hatch pulled after 2 IP a week ago, missed his subsequent start. Alex Lange a late scratch. Neither to IL as of yesterday. Today despite Cory Abbott the listed starter, it’s Erick Leal on mound, jumping his rotation spot
