Lenyn Sosa is 2-for-4 thus far in his two-game-old Toronto Blue Jays career. He entered Wednesday's game as a pinch hitter, singling and scoring, and then went 1-for-3 with a strikeout in his first start at second base.

Jordan Rich, the player the White Sox received from the Blue Jays, hasn't yet played a recorded game for his new organization. In fact, he hasn't played a recorded professional game for either of his organizations. The 17th-round pick and $150,000 signing out of American Heritage High School in Plantation, Fla., opened the year in extended spring training before Toronto traded him, so information is limited.

At least Eric Longenhagen shared what notes he had in Jake Mailhot's write-up of the Sosa trade at FanGraphs:

Rich was 17 on draft day and was a plus contact hitter in a limited showcase sample. A two-sport athlete (football) who hadn’t fully committed to baseball until signing, he has blazing speed and a shot to be a plus center field defender. He lacks any modicum of power and only maxed out around 94 mph hitting on the showcase circuit. The Blue Jays had not yet begun playing extended spring games when this trade was made, so there’s very little new information to glean about Rich. One potentially interesting nugget is that he may have gotten taller. He was listed at 5-foot-8 before the draft but is now listed at 5-foot-10. Maybe there’s a more relevant, passable degree of power that can be attained if, in fact, he is still growing.

  • Jacob Gonzalez went 2-for-5.
  • Jarred Kelenic was 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout.
  • Duncan Davitt's debut hangover: 2.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 27 of 52 pitches for strikes.

Notes:

*The Knights lost one of their non-catching righties with Dru Baker going on the IL, and lefty Caden Connor taking his place.

Rocket City 11, Birmingham 2

  • Rikuu Nishida was 0-for-4.
  • Braden Montgomery went 1-for-2 with a triple, walk, sac fly and stolen base.
  • Samuel Zavala was 0-for-3 with a walk.
  • Lucas Gordon: 3 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, 1 HR, 45 of 73 pitches for strikes.
  • Jarold Rosado: 1.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 2 K, 2 WP, 23 of 41 pitches for strikes.

Asheville 14, Winston-Salem 7

  • Kyle Lodise was 2-for-4 with a walk, and was caught stealing.
  • Caleb Bonemer, 1-for-3 with his fourth homer, a walk and a strikeout.
  • Colby Shelton was 0-for-3 with a walk.
  • Anthony DePino went 0-for-4 with a strikeout.
  • George Wolkow, 1-for-4 with a strikeout.
  • Boston Smith made quite the High-A debut as Jackson Appel went on the IL: 3-for-4 with two homers.
  • Grant Umberger: 4 IP, 12 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 3 HR, 48 of 74 pitches for strikes

Highlights:

*Bonemer appeared to hit the bejeezus out of his.

*Both of Smith's homers barely left the yard, but they counted just the same. His reaction to the first one initially seemed to regard it as an easy foul.
