## Resource

Matt Waldron’s knuckleball is back in form, tossing a gem in Triple-A El Paso with just one run allowed in 17⅓ innings after a rough stint in the majors. Meanwhile, El Paso’s offense is firing on all cylinders, led by Carlos Rodriguez, Mason McCoy, Nick Pratto, and Clay Dungan. Catcher Ethan Salas sits out with a tweaked oblique, cooling off after a strong start. Across the system, Luis Verdugo and Brendan Durfee lit up Double-A San Antonio, while Kasen Wells delivered an inside-the-park homer in Fort Wayne’s close win — proving the minor leagues are churning with talent, resilience, and drama.
