Triple-A Scranton gets no-hit by Rays’ affiliate

In case you missed it earlier, RHP Jose Campos underwent Tommy John surgery and LHP Nik Turley was released. Turley could be re-signed to a minor league contract a la David Adams last year. Also, OF Aaron Judge was included in the “In The Team Photo” section of this week’s Prospect Hot Sheet and Matt Eddy reports OF Brandon Thomas is on the DL. Not sure what’s wrong with him.

Triple-A Scranton (5-0 loss to Durham) they were no-hit by LHP Mike Montgomery (former top prospect who’s fallen off a bit) and RHP Brad Boxberger (pitched against the Yankees in Tampa last weekend) … I believe this is the first time one of the affiliates has been no-hit in a nine-inning game since Double-A Trenton got perfect gamed by RHP Jeanmar Gomez back in 2009
