High-A Eugene, as happens from time to time (including next week) had a scheduling conflict at their University of Oregon stadium, and have a doubleheader on Saturday to make up for not starting their series against Spokane until today.

Let’s dive into those three games! Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed positions in the roundup are the position played in that particular game. AAA Sacramento (15-11) Sacramento River Cats beat the Salt Lake Bees (Angels) 5-2 Box score It took awhile, but we finally got a star showing from LHP Carson Whisenhunt (No.

8 CPL). Whisenhunt has struggled a bit to start to the year, but you certainly wouldn’t know it based on Tuesday’s performance, when he positively dominated the Bees. That’s doubly impressive when you glance at Salt Lake’s roster and realize just how many former Major Leaguers are populating it ….

guys like Chris Taylor, Jeimer Candelario, Jose Siri, Nick Madrigal, Trey Mancini, and Yolmer Sánchez. Those batters wanted nothing to do with Whisenhunt on Tuesday, though, as he cruised through 6 innings while allowing just 3 hits and 1 run, with 8 strikeouts. Whisenhunt wasn’t particularly dominating the strike zone, as he threw 48 of 78 pitches for strikes, but, critically, he didn’t issue a single walk all game (he did hit a batter, though).
