The Yankees have 2 more wins than the Astros....and are in last place at 9.0 games out of first. Could be worse!

Speaking of Drew Gilbert, he has almost half of Corpus Christi's hits last night. He's off to a nice start in AA:

Hooks 1, Missions 3 Final Score (05/11/2023) on Gameday (milb.com)

Korey Lee has continued his recent hot streak with three hits in a win last night for Sugar Land:

Chihuahuas 6, Space Cowboys 7 Final Score (05/11/2023) on Gameday (milb.com)

Jacob Melton had a slow start to the season but seems to be heating up. He had three hits for Asheville last night:

Tourists 4, Braves 9 Final Score (05/11/2023) on Gameday (milb.com)

I wonder if the Astros are going to give us any information on Brantley or is he just going into the black hole?

Yeah, that whole Brantley situation is beyond weird. I've been trying to get any sort of info and I've gotten absolutely nothing... which, admittedly, makes me nervous.

Could it be he wasn't really ready but couldn't stay at the rehab assignment. I don't recall what the game limit is.

So everyone place their bets.

MB comes back:
1. In 2 weeks or less
2. Sometime in June.
3. Before LMJ
4. Sometime in August
5. Never. He's done and retires.

Oh yeah, it could for sure be something as simple as that. It could also just be exactly what Dusty said- he's a little sore and they want to make sure everything is fine.

The secretiveness of it all is what makes me nervous. But again, I haven't really heard anything at all so I have no idea.

20 days for non-pitchers (30 for pitchers). He started his assignment on April 23, so today is/would be day 20. So strange.

Maybe he punched the pitch clock and broke his hand.

Brantley's last game for Sugar Land was 5/6 in Albuquerque. They played again 5/7, had an off day, and headed home for the next week. Maybe they wanted Brantley to take a shorter flight to LA and be with the team trainers instead of returning to Houston/SL for a few more and then to Chicago? Just spitballing here.

I'm on team vague. He plays before Lance. Since I don't expect Lance to pitch before the ASB that gives me a lot of room to play with.

Wasn't it just like a week ago that they announced Altuve was taking ground balls but wasn't swinging a bat yet? Might be getting our injured players confused though. Whatever - great news and hope he makes it back ASAP. Would be crazy if he makes it back before Uncle Mike.

He was taking batting practice with the ML club and hitting it out of the park a week ago.

Really good article about Yordan.

The interesting bit was talking about his hands. The author said it was "inflammation" in both of them at different times.

Lets hope we get top 5 MVP Altuve and not 2022 Playoff Altuve and his .483 OPS.
