>> After signing pitcher Rico Garcia (Saint Louis/Hawaii Pacific) to a minor league deal on July 15, the Washington Nationals called him up Wednesday after he made two scoreless appearances with the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings. “Everything kind of happened so quickly,” Garcia told the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network. “I’m just grateful for the opportunity to be here.” Asked to describe himself as a pitcher, Garcia responded: “Bulldog. That’s a word I like to use. Just kind of always been the short guy on a pitching staff, so I had to try to do something to stand out. The results may not have always been there, but the mindset is what keeps me going.”
>> The Reno Aces activated infielder Josh Rojas (UH) Saturday after a short rehab assignment with the Diamondbacks’ Arizona Complex League team.
>> The Hartford Yard Goats activated pitcher Dylan Spain (Saint Louis/UH Hilo) on Wednesday.
>> The High Class A Bowling Green Hot Rods activated outfielder Shane Sasaki (‘Iolani) on Wednesday.
>> Pitcher Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa (Baldwin) was promoted on July 14 to the Class A Down East Wood Ducks from the Rangers’ Arizona Complex League team.
>> Among 2023 draft picks, Hilo alumnus Devin Saltiban has signed with the Phillies, Kamehemeha graduate Kelena Sauer (drafted out of San Diego State) signed with the Blue Jays, and former UH standout Harry Gustin agreed to terms with the Padres. None of them has officially been assigned to a minor league squad yet.
