You want the rundown of tonight’s minor league performances? We got it for you.
T.K. Roby, the Rangers third round pick in 2020, made his pro debut tonight for low-A Down East. Roby went 2.1 IP and struck out 3 while not allowing a hit. He did walk one and hit a batter, though, and threw a pair of wild pitches. Still, an impressive debut for the 19 year old righthander.
In our Evan Carter Watch, we note that Carter went 1 for 5 with a double and three Ks. Luisangel Acuna had a single and a homer, and Keyber Rodriguez and Keithron Moss each had two hits.
