Not rehab, he was assigned there. Demotion one could say, but he needs to get healthy and stay healthy, he has done nothing since we got him. Getting passed up quickly, needs to start hitting and soon.
Yes, Battenfield with his best start since his promotion. The Dopico kid has really been solid of late. I have read a couple times that his stuff is as good as anyone in the org but he just could not get consistent. Maybe he is about ready.
The DSL team is bad, but their starting rotation has pitched pretty darn well, especially the past 3 weeks or so. Francisco Benitez, Yoelvin Silven, Yordi Rosario, Cristofer Melendez and Luis Rodriguez.
Some nice words for Ozzie Guillen and Kenny Williams in this article on how Escobar got started with Sox.

Sox also signed another minor leaguer who has been released by another org. Matt Portland, a LHP from Northwestern who was a 17th rounder for the Royals in 2015. He started 2nd game of DH for Great Falls.
Hector Acosta, LHP in the DSL was moved to the Arizona Rookie team.
W-S scoring runs, Hickman giving them right back. He needs to be in the pen and Henzman should be in the rotation. I suppose Hickman needs innings after so much time lost and Henzman they likely do not want throwing a ton of innings this year.
Poor Kannapolis, now their rotation is really poor. Rigler and a bunch of crap. They really blew that first half championship in that final week, too bad, as they will not come close in the 2nd half.
