## Resource

The Tacoma Rainiers are in freefall, losing six straight games and falling below .500, while utility player Brock Rodden goes on the injured list with a hamstring strain. Miles Mastrobuoni’s return to action raises questions about his future, as he’s out of minor league options and the team already has plenty of left-handed bats. Meanwhile, Arkansas Travelers’ Ryan Sloan, just turned 20, dazzled with six perfect innings and 11 strikeouts, bolstering his case as a top pitching prospect. Everett AquaSox struggled offensively but saw standout performances from Josh Caron, who hit three homers and finished May with a .900 OPS, and Christian Little, whose lights-out relief work (0.90 ERA) could earn him a Double-A promotion. Inland Empire 66ers remain winless this week, but Mason Peters continues his dominant season with a 1.56 ERA, while shortstop Nick Becker hit his first homer in the ACL, showing speed and potential.
