Jose Mijares did not pitch this week.

Jeffrey Manship earned a major promotion from the GCL Twins all the way up to Ft. Myers, skipping the 2 stops in between. Technically, he got a start; however, he pitched only 2 innings in the game, so it was more like a relief appearance that started in the 1st inning. Whether Manship stays up or just came up because the Miracle knew Mijares would be out for the week and needed someone, I don't know; we'll see if he's still here next week.

Catchers
1.) Caleb Moore - 16 games / .240 BA / 1 HR / 6 RBI
2.) Jeff Christy - 2 games / .000 BA / 0 HR / 0 RBI

Caleb Moore caught 5 games. His batting average fell by 17 points, and he picked up 3 RBI's.

Jeff Christy was promoted from Elizabethton, skipping past Beloit, because the Miracle needed a catcher to replace Feiner after he went on the DL. Christy caught 2 games.
