This week’s MLB Draft League Alumni Report is headlined by a call to the big leagues with right-hander Jonathan Pintaro making his MLB debut June 25 with the New York Mets. Pintaro became the seventh MLB Draft League alum to reach the Major Leagues when he took the mound in the ninth against the Braves at Citi Field.
Continuing with the theme of Major League pitching, Luis Guerrero had another strong week out of the bullpen for the Boston Red Sox. Below, we highlight these two players, three additional promotions and a slew of players who have posted strong weeks with their respective organizations.
