#Brooklyn Royal Giants
While the Royal Giants wait for Jackie Robinson‘s return, they swap out a couple of bench pieces, sending Frank Isbell to AAA in exchange for Matty Alou, a move facilitated by Germany Smith‘s slight uptick in offensive output (from miserable to merely below average). When Robinson was recalled from his brief rehab assignment, Art Griggs was sent to AAA.
#Homestead Grays
Daniel Hudson was sent to AAA as Doug Drabek was recalled from his rehab assignment, and slotted directly into the 3rd spot of the rotation.
#New York Gothams
Willie Mays hit 2 out, leading the Gothams to a 7-4 win over Brooklyn. Larry Doyle did the same (1 a 503 ft. bomb) in a 4-2 win over the Royal Giants.
#Ottawa Mounties
Bill Smith will spend a stint on the DL, with the Mounties recalling Chris Bosio for a look at the big league level.
Dave Gregg will miss about a month with a sore shoulder, with the Mounties recalling Jesse Crain from AA for a look in their bullpen.
Adrián Beltré went deep twice as Ottawa topped Philadelphia 10-8 in extra innings.
#Philadelphia Stars
With Bob Howry heading to the DL for about a week, the Stars recalled Pedro Feliciano from AAA.
