Dbacks Minor League Round-Up 8/23

The walking wounded all played again last night for the AZL Dbacks and you could have gone and see them play for free out in Surprise versus the Reds. Chavy hit a home run, Miggy had a couple of RBI and Willie went 2 for 3. They should be about ready to come back, unfortunately it will be a day late and a dollar short.
