Programming note: I will be joining Round Rock media man Rylan Kobre in the booth for Tuesday’s opener against El Paso.
Box Scores
AAA: Round Rock 3, at Oklahoma City (LAD) 7
Round Rock: 8 hits, 3 walks, 6 strikeouts
Opponent: 11 hits, 6 walks, 6 strikeouts
Record: 27-36, 11 GB
SP David Davalillo: 0.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 0 SO, 34 P / 22 S, 7.36 ERA
RP Emiliano Teodo: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 SO, 4.23 ERA
1B Alejandro Osuna: 2-4, .274/.365/.356
RF Trevor Hauver: 2-4, 2B, HR (2), .249/.389/.331
David Davalillo endured his shortest outing in five starts in Round Rock, but unlike the others, control wasn’t the primary concern. Three of the first four batters reached on hits, placing his pitch count at 16 with one out. After that, a seven-pitch sac fly with two two-strike fouls and an eleven-pitch walk with five two-strike fouls ballooned his pitch count to 34, and Davalillo was done. Yes, his day ended with a walk, but the larger problem was at-bats prolonged by a lack of whiffs.
Trevor Hauver finally has his second homer. He knocked 11 in 104 games in Round Rock in 2024 and 12 in 104 games last year. His batted-ball profile is fine, as far as I can tell. He’s just not getting results.
Alejandro Osuna started at first for the first time in his career.
Texas traded IF Richie Martin to the Rockies, probably for cash but we’ll see. Pittsburgh purchased the contract of IF Davis Wendzel to replace optioned OF Jhostynxon Garcia. 
AA: Frisco 6, Springfield (STL) 4 (7)
Frisco: 6 hits, 8 walks, 4 strikeouts
Opponent: 7 hits, 2 walks, 2 strikeouts
Record: 29-25, 1.5 G up
SP Dylan MacLean: 4 IP, 6 H (2 HR), 4 R, 0 BB, 2 SO, 69 P / 45 S, 4.56 ERA
RP Josh Trentadue: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 SO, 8.42 ERA
RP Wilian Bormie: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 SO, 1.78 ERA
2B Josh Smith: 2-3, HR, BB
DH Rafe Perich: 1-4, HR (3)
AA: Frisco 6, Springfield (STL) 4 (7)
Frisco: 7 hits, 4 walks, 7 strikeouts
Opponent: 8 hits, 8 walks, 5 strikeouts
Record: 30-25, 1.5 G up
SP Austin Bergner: 2.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 5 BB, 1 SO, 59 P / 25 S, 8.31 ERA
RP Ryan Lobus: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 HBP, 0 SO, 5.33 ERA
DH Josh Smith: 0-1, BB, HBP
3B Rafe Perich: 2-3, HR (4), SB (1), .242/.324/.636
C Ian Moller: 1-3, HR (6), .236/.362/.453
Frisco swept the doubleheader and expanded the division lead to a season-high 1.5 games. Rafe Perich leads the organization with 15 homers and is slugging .611.
Since shifting to the bullpen two weeks ago, Josh Trentadue has still struggled with control but has been far less hit-prone. I would hope that he’d get another opportunity to start down the road, but we’ll see. 
Hi-A: Hub City 11, at Winston-Salem (CHW) 8
Hub City: 15 hits, 7 walks, 7 strikeouts
Opponent: 10 hits, 4 walks, 14 strikeouts
Record: 28-28, eliminated
SP Dylan MacLean: 4.2 IP, 4 H (1 HR), 2 R, 1 BB, 9 SO, 82 P / 53 S, 6.25 ERA
RP Joey Danielson: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 SO, 1.25 ERA
LF Yeison Morrobel: 3-5, HR (6), BB, .302/.373/.467
2B Antonis Macias: 3-5, 2 2B, BB, .219/.321/.307
CF Quincy Scott: 3-4, BB, .240/.400/.394
3B Esteban Mejia: 3-4, HR (1), SB (1)
What a week. Tuesday through Thursday, Hub City twice flirted with no-hitters and allowed a total of five runs on eight hits (and a million walks) but lost all three. Over the weekend, the Burgers allowed 17 runs but scored 28 and won all three.
About two weeks into the season, 22-year-old Yeison Morrobel began to hit and hasn’t let up. He’s on his third tilt against high-A pitchers. He batted just .170/.248/.278 last year and was sitting two or three times per week down the stretch, and I wondered whether he’d have a job as a Ranger in 2026. He’s enjoying his best production since 2022 in rookie ball.
Righty Cole Roland’s streak of scoreless appearances to start his MLB-affiliated pro career ended at six. He surrendered three runs two homers and three other hits across portions of the 5th and 6th. The former Wake Forest reliever had pitched for three indy teams in 2024-2025. 
Lo-A: Hickory 3, Kannapolis (CHW) 5
Hickory: 8 hits, 4 walks, 12 strikeouts
Opponent: 6 hits, 6 walks, 9 strikeouts
Record: 31-24, tied for first
SP Evan Siary: 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 4 SO, 75 P / 55 S, 3.14 ERA
RP Owen Proksch: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 SO, 2.04 ERA
LF Hector Osorio: 3-5, HR (13), .309/.437/.581
CF Paulino Santana: 2-5, 2 2B, .260/.398/.420
Hector Osorio is tied for the Carolina League lead with 13 homers and first among qualifiers with a .437 OBP and .581 slugging percentage. Entering the season, he had six homers in 178 games and had never slugged better than .376 in a season. What’s left for him to do in Hickory, I wonder.
Siary had a typical performance, and Proksch began a new streak of scoreless two-inning appearances, but the usually trustworthy Michael Trausch walked three and allowed a hit without retiring a batter.
Five Years Ago Yesterday
Texas designated OF Khris Davis for assignment and recalled utility man Eli White. Texas was 23-38 at the time, having lost 20 of 25 following an 18-18 start.
