Romine hurt in Scranton win

OF Slade Heathcott is still day-to-day with his neck strain, according to Mike Ashmore. Given his injury history and all-out style of play,”day-to-day” actually seems like an apt nickname. 2B Angelo Gumbs was placed on the DL today as well, hopefully for nothing involving the elbow.

Triple-A Scranton (10-1 win over Rochester)

• 2B Corban Joseph: 3-5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI — had just three hits in his previous 20 at-bats (.150)

• CF Zoilo Almonte: 4-4, 2 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 BB — seven hits in his last seven at-bats
• C Austin Romine: 3-3 — left the game due to injury in the fifth, but I don’t know what happened … hopefully it was just a foul tip and not the back or anything
• RF Melky Mesa: 1-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 RBI
• LHP Vidal Nuno: 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 8 K, 5/3 GB/FB — 65 of 99 pitches were strikes … I feel like “Hopalong” would be a good nickname, “Hopalong Nuno”
