Transactions & Injuries
The success of the Royals pre-ASB means that, for better or worse, it is a very quite July in 2049. Losing Luis Aceves to a season ending collision at a base is disappointing, and Bernalldino Igrejas will be asked to learn 1B while playing in the Major Leagues.
Steve Campista also returned from injury and he was optioned to Omaha.

Minor League News
In July, when the name of Jorge Zagal appeared on the Omaha lineup card it was a virtual lock on a victory. He started 6 times and chalked up 5 wins and no losses. With those stats it was also a virtual lock that he would be named the International League Pitcher of the Month.
Zagal shackled opposing batters on 46 base hits and a .275 batting average. He rang up 45 strikeouts in 44.1 innings of work, surrendered 14 walks and fashioned a sparkling 3.86 ERA.
This season, Zagal has fanned 143 in 156.1 innings and collected a 16-2 record with a 3.51 ERA.
