Chris Getz talked to the media before Dylan Cease's debut on Wednesday, providing a few updates regarding non-Cease prospects:
Andrew Vaughn: He'll be heading to a North Carolina affiliate in "a couple of days."
Luis Robert: He talked around the issue of promoting him to Charlotte (or Chicago):
“In terms of laying out the rest of the year, when he's ready for the next challenge, we're discussing it,” Getz said. “There's nothing definitive at this point. He's going to the Futures Game this weekend, and look forward to having Jim Thome managing that.”
