Relief Roundup: Jose Ramirez, Cleveland Indians pound the Reds
AAA Featured Performer
Just 20 when the season opened, Luis Urias has acquitted himself very well at AAA throughout the season at El Paso, and he could be in line for an extended look by the major league club at some point after the MLB All-Star break. In the AAA All-Star game, Urias led off for the victorious Pacific Coast League team, going 2-5, scoring 2 runs, and driving in a run.

AA Featured Performer
The Marlins signed John Norwood as an undrafted free agent after a career at Vanderbilt University. He’s struggled at time with his bat, but he broke through with power last season. Interestingly, the Marlins sent him back to the same level in 2018, and he’s hitting worse this season, but he had a big game on Wednesday, going 4-5 with a pair of home runs and 3 RBI as Jacksonville defeated Chattanooga.
