One to watch (Tom Murphy): The catching prospect was just promoted to Albuquerque from AA New Britain.

Now that he’s up at the highest minor league level, he’s gone 3-for-11 in three games for the Isotopes, with one run, one RBI, and one walk.

Murphy just got done representing team USA at the Pan-American Games in Toronto earlier this month, and a promotion to Albuquerque for the 3rd round draft pick from 2012 may mean the 24-year-old is getting very close to the big leagues.

Quick hits: Simon Castro has thrown 16.2 innings in his last ten game, allowing 13 hits and two walks, while striking out 23 hitters and walking only one … Matt McBride, slashing .350/.394/.588 this year, just came off the disabled list and returned to the Isotopes’ active roster … On Monday, the Pacific Coast League announced that Trevor Story has been named PCL Player Of The Week. The shortstop went 13-for-26 with four homers, 11 RBIs, and two walks on the week … Gray watch! Jon Gray has 64 strikeouts in his last 56 innings in AAA, and with 102 strikeouts on the year thus far, he leads the PCL in whiffs. He’s also gone 3-1 with a 3.70 ERA in his last ten starts, and is now putting together a decent season that will surely result in a call-up soon.
