The promotion wheel went round and round this week, as Billy McKinney and Wes Darvill moved up from Myrtle Beach to Tennessee. South Bend Cub Chesny Young went to Myrtle Beach along with Pin-Chieh Chen. Meanwhile, back in South Bend, 2B Andrew Ely joined the roster on Thursday afternoon, going 0-3 with a walk.
Ely, a left-handed batter, was a 32nd round pick of the Cubs last year out of the University of Washington. Ely had a solid 2014 for the Arizona Rookie League Cubs and showed some power hitting four home runs in 25 games.
