Four of them for you today....
RHP Adam Worthington joins team from extended spring training.
INF Victor Estevez rejoins the team from high-A Visalia.
C Jae Yun Kim sent back to extended spring training.
LHP Keny Sosa released from Diamondbacks organization.
Full story is here.
Owen's analysis (which means absolutely nothing):
Worthington is a strong reliever who had great numbers with Missoula, he'll be a welcome addition to the bullpen and hopefully can be a strong 7th or 8th inning type.
Sosa was getting too old to be at this level, and unfortunately just wasn't performing up to the level the Diamondbacks wanted. He is free to sign with any other team, and we wish him the best of luck.
Kim was just here to fill in while Hollinger was hurt. Three catchers are rarely needed, and with Van Winkle and Hollinger hitting as well as they have been, Kim wasn't going to get the playing time he needs to develop. He'll end up with Missoula or Yakima, and likely will be back with South Bend next year (if not sooner).
Finally, Estevez is a solid utility player who can play anywhere on the diamond, which is why he went up to Visalia in the first place. He certainly won't play every day, but he's good to have if somebody else needs a day off. You'd like to see his average go up from the .200 mark he's been around all season (at both South Bend and Visalia).

April 6th Morning Report
A few notes for you to start the day...
-The players had practice yesterday evening, and they signed up for their gym memberships so they have a place to work out while they are in South Bend. The last two days have also been used to get the players set up with apartments to live in for the year.
-Monday I went to all 25 guys and had them pronounce their name for me so that I made sure I got it right. Yesterday I went to all 25 guys again, and gave them the opportunity to change their height, weight, and hometown on the roster to be sure that it was accurate. So if click on the roster tab on www.silverhawks.com, the height and weight are what the players told me (I made them promise to be accurate!).
-As far as practice goes, yesterday the Silver Hawks had a "simulated game" against each other. The two pitchers I watched most closely on the mound were Dan Taylor (lefty, 5th starter) and Randy Rodriguez (righty, long reliever). I was very impressed by both pitchers, and I think the hitters were as well since many of them turned around after various pitches to ask the catchers "what was that?"
-Keny Sosa and Diogenes Rosario threw as well, but I wasn't behind the cage at that point and can't give a great report on there stuff. I can tell you that Rosario has a rather effortless motion, but still pops the ball around 92-93 mph.
-It's supposed to rain all day in South Bend today, so practice outside will likely be canceled. However, there are some indoor facilities that can be used (either the Silver Hawks cage beyond the centerfield wall or Notre Dame's facility on their campus).

West Michigan Series Probables
Saturday: RHP Ryan Cook vs. LHP Casey Crosby
Sunday: LHP Keny Sosa vs. RHP Anthony Shawler
Monday: RHP Brett Moorhouse vs. LHP Adam Wilk
Tuesday: RHP Randy Rodriguez vs. RHP Luke Putkonen
Note: I was told that Sosa is still the probable for Sunday, so that means Taylor Sinclair is going to miss at least one more start...if not more. I do not know the full extent of the injury, as details of injuries aren't often released to the media relations director. Again, if I find out more, I'll let you know.

Roster Moves
RHP Keny Sosa reassigned to Missoula.
RHP Sean Morgan placed on the DL with right elbow tendonitis, retroactive to June 21st (he hasn't pitched since June 5th).
What This Means: Aside from the obvious, it means that the Silver Hawks have only 22 active players on their roster, plus three on the DL. I think Wade Miley comes off the DL soon, as in today or tomorrow. I'd like to think Justin Parker is not far behind.
Even still, that leaves one more open spot on the roster. Another pitcher? A fielder? A.J. Pollock?
Your guess is as good as mine.
