Diamondbacks' Taylor Widener: Collects 12 strikeouts Wednesday
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Widener tallied a season-high 12 strikeouts and tossed six shutout innings for Double-A Jackson in its 11-3 triumph over Jacksonville on Wednesday.
After logging only seven strikeouts in 11 innings over his previous two starts, Widener implemented a mechanical tweak in his bullpen session prior to Wednesday's outing, according to Rob Terranova of MiLB.com. The adjustment evidently paid dividends, as the right-hander mowed down the opposition in efficient fashion, yielding only five baserunners during the start and finishing the night with a 1-2-3 sixth inning. The 23-year-old now carries a 2.53 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 89:22 K:BB over 67.2 innings on the season, cementing his status as one of the top arms in the Diamondbacks organization.

I was a little skeptical about their first 2 picks, I was hoping for Kowar of FLA & Steele Walker but the Thomas kid intrigued me. ARZ was also able to sign SS Blaze Alexander who slipped because of signability concerns but he could be a real steal taken in 12th round IIRC.

I’m convinced Drew Ellis will be Goldy’s replacement. Pavin Smith has been a disappointment.

RHP Brian Shaffer was excellent again for @KCCougars yesterday. He struck out nine and walked just one over six innings. Over his last four starts, he's given up just three earned, walked one and struck out 31 batters. #DbacksMinors

CF Tra Holmes was 2-3 last night for @HillsboroHops with a double. He's an explosive athlete that can go get it in center field. 11th rounder from the 2017 draft. #DbacksMinors

Diamondbacks' Ildemaro Vargas: Produces five-hit game
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Vargas went 5-for-5 with a double and a stolen base Thursday for Triple-A Reno in its 5-3 win over Tacoma.
The career-best five-hit performance extended Vargas' hitting streak to 19 games, with the infielder now maintaining a .412/.474/.529 slash line in July. The 27-year-old received his first MLB action last summer but has yet to earn a promotion to the big leagues in 2018 with the Diamondbacks' top three middle infielders -- Nick Ahmed, Ketel Marte and Daniel Descalso -- all steering clear of the disabled list. So long as that trio stays healthy in the second half, Vargas likely won't receive a promotion until September.

Diamondbacks' Jasrado Chisholm: Elevated to High-A
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Chisholm was promoted to High-A Visalia, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic Arizona reports.
The Bahamian was promoted Thursday, according to Renaldo Dorsett of Tribune 242, the newspaper from Chisholm's home country. The 20-year-old rattled off a .244/.311/.472 line for Low-A Kane County but included 15 homers, 43 RBI, 52 runs and eight stolen bases. Playing as one of the younger athletes in the Midwest League, this promotion will provide a stouter test in his progress, but he's quickly gaining more attention.
