With Charlotte and Winston-Salem idle -- and the same can be said for Birmingham's offense as well -- let's start with items of note.
*Kade McClure went on the disabled list after a line drive to the leg knocked him out of the first inning of his start on Sunday.
*Thyago Vieira made MLB Pipeline's Prospect Team of the Week after pitching four near-perfect innings over three appearances. He struck out seven and allowed just one baserunner via HBP.
*Seby Zavala and Zack Collins are theoretically competing, but there's a way they can both get to Chicago (it involves a lot of defensive improvement).
