In Venezuela:

  • Alcides Escobar went 0-for-2 with a walk Saturday, his first appearance in a week.
  • Brendan Katin went 2-for-9 over the weekend with a walk and a double, drove in three runs and struck out five times.
  • Luis Pena had a rough outing Sunday, giving up three runs on a hit and a walk without recording an out.
  • The newest Brewer, R.J. Swindle, has already made 17 appearances in Venezuela and is posting a 3.32 ERA. Over the weekend, he threw a scoreless inning on Friday and retired the only batter he faced Sunday.

  • Joe Bateman gave up a run on a hit in one inning Saturday. He has a 3.66 ERA in 19.2 innings (17 appearances) for Este.

Finally, in the comments on Friday's Update TheJay noticed the following:

  • Chris Narveson left his Mexican team, citing fatigue, and has been replaced on their roster.
  • Casey McGehee returned to the US to deal with a family issue.
