The Low-A Charleston RiverDogs had a scheduled off-day.
The Short Season Staten Island Yankees are off until tomorrow for the All-Star break. The All-Star Game itself was played tonight (SOU 7, NOR 1). Staten Island did not have an All-Star this year despite having several deserving players, such as RHP Juan De Paula (2.19 ERA) and RHP Harold Cortijo (2.27 ERA). Not sure what what’s about. I thought every team got an All-Star representative. Well, whatever.
