Heliot Ramos and Joey Bart might look at this boxscore and wish they were back in San Jose.  Sandro Fabian is quietly having a strong comeback from last season and whatever kept him in extended spring training this year.

Yoel Veras RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 0.00.

Johnny Cueto has another successful rehab start.  Not much more to say about Marco Luciano and Luis Toribio who we should see in Augusta next spring. Connor Cannon has an outside shot at the AZL HR record which I believe stands at 20.(sorry, it's 18 by Joey Gallo- thanks to MCC Minor Lines).
