Shane Drohan had another solid start this week. The left-handed pitcher continues to put up strong performances in Double-A, but they are still getting drowned out by that one rough outing. Drohan has a 3.22 ERA, .197 BAA, and 1.17 WHIP between Double-A and Triple-A. He's struck out 63 batters and walked 29 in 64 1/3 innings.

Ryan Fernandez was promoted to Triple-A, and in his debut at the level on Sunday, he tossed a perfect ninth inning with one strikeout. The right-handed reliever has a 1.46 ERA, .174 BAA, and 0.93 WHIP between Single-A, Double-A, and Triple-A. He's struck out 33 batters compared to eight walks in 24 2/3 innings.

Rio Gomez has now made three starts in Triple-A. The left-handed pitcher has a 3.55 ERA, .283 BAA, and 1.58 WHIP. Gomez has struck out 15 batters and walked five over 12 2/3 innings. Being his first time really getting actual starts, Gomez is impressing heavily.

Brendan Nail made two scoreless appearances out of the bullpen this week for Worcester. The lefty has allowed two runs on four hits over 6 1/3 innings for Worcester. He's struck out nine batters and walked two in that time.

Brandon Walter made another solid start this week and is starting to turn his season around. The left-handed starter has a 6.28 ERA, .300 BAA, and 1.65 WHIP in 61 2/3 innings. He's struck out 64 batters and walked 26. The numbers still don't look great, but they are improving. And his start on Saturday was the first time this year that he didn't allow a walk.

Andrew Politi has allowed one run on six hits over eight innings in the month of June. The righty reliever has struck out eight batters and walked one in that time, picking up two saves. Politi has a 2.97 ERA, .230 BAA, and 1.25 WHIP this season. He's struck out 32 batters and walked 12 in 30 1/3 innings.
