The NSI Minor League Report: Brackman's Back and Ineffective

Wednesday 6/17

Andrew Brackman was back from the disabled list and gave up 6 runs in 3 innings. His velocity is reported to be down. Brackman needs innings to build arm strength and clean up his mechanics. We shouldn't expect a Joba like rise through the minors.

Scranton was rained out, while Tampa was postponed due to lightening. Trenton lost, while starting pitcher, Ivan Nova, was victimized by 5 unearned runs.
