NOTE: Aaron Miles started at Third? Trying to get him comfortable playing multiple in-field spots?

 

 

 

The Knights lost one pitcher but added one on Monday.

 

Right-handed pitcher Jon Rauch (4-1, 4.26 ERA) was placed on the disabled list with a right shoulder problem.

 

Left-handed pitcher Josh Stewart, who has been on the DL since May 17 with a circulation problem, was activated to replace Rauch.

 

• NOTES: Knights center fielder Joe Borchard is struggling with the bat. The switch-hitter is batting only .115 (3-for-26) with 10 strikeouts in his past seven games. His average is down to .223.

 

• Infielder Aaron Miles made his first appearance of the season at third base for the Knights on Monday.

 

Miles, who has played primarily second base this year, played only one time at third base in 129 games with Double-A Birmingham last season.

 

• Three Knights have consecutive-game hitting streaks of at least seven games. Catcher Jamie Burke has a seven-game streak, Miles eight games and first baseman Ross Gload nine.

 

• Several members of the parent Chicago White Sox organization have been or are currently in town.

 

Bob Fontaine Jr., director of player development, has visited during the current homestand. Minor League Hitting Coordinator Mike Lum and Minor League Catching Coord-inator Tommy Thompson are currently in town.

 

• White Sox left-handed pitcher Kelly Wunsch is scheduled to make a couple of rehabilitation appearances this week for the Knights. Wunsch, who appeared in 10 games with the Knights last season, is recuperating from a back strain

Miles played at least a half a season at 3B in 2001 when Tim Hummel was playing in Birmingham.

I have to love a player named Enemencio ...

 

Eminem would be so proud that they are already naming players after him!
