NOTES FROM DOWN ON THE FARM...

• Jeff Niemann has been removed from the IL All-Star team due to his commitment to pitch in major league baseball's future's game. He has been replaced on the roster by Justin Ruggiano.
  
• Reid Brignac's struggles are a big mystery.
• A closer look shows that Reid Brignac is only struggling against right-handers, a sign that the left-handed hitter is just in a prolonged slump.
  
• The Hardball Times takes a look at Reid Brignac's numbers and suggests that he is likely to turn it around before the end of the season.

Beyond the decreased power numbers, his performance only looks bad because of an ugly batting average. I doubt that will last. Brignac's .262 batting average on balls in play (BABIP) is unusually low given his well above-average rate of hitting line drives. If he continues to make good contact, he will probably finish the season with a batting average closer to .280 than .240, and his on-base and slugging percentages will consequently start to look like those of a top prospect once again.

• Before last night's rally, the Montgomery Biscuits were 0-135 as a franchise in road games in which they trailed after 8 innings.
  
• Both games of the double-header for Vero Beach were rained out. They will play a double-header today.
• The Hudson Valley Renegades game versus Aberdeen was postponed due to rain.
