The Indians drafted Jodd Carter out of high school in Hawaii in the 24th round in 2014. He’s worked his way up the system slowly, and he’s having a middling season in 2018, with a .253/.326/.414 line with 9 homers and 11 steals. However, his Sunday performance was excellent, going 2-5 with a home run and 3 RBI.

Injuries have stunted the progress of MacKenzie Gore this season after he had an incredibly impressive debut in the Arizona Rookie League in 2017. He has been on a hot streak of late, with 4 earned runs over his past 4 starts. Sunday, Gore added the aspect of fanning hitters, striking out 10 over 5 innings.

Today’s low-A Game to Watch

Signed out of Cuba just before the 2017 season, Osvaldo Hernandez has flown under the radar in the Padres deep system of pitching (and especially Cuban pitching), but his performance in low-A Fort Wayne this year has been stellar, with a 2.25 ERA over 76 innings, with a 20/66 BB/K ratio. On Monday afternoon, he and the TinCaps travel to Peoria to take on the Chiefs.
