The Los Angeles Dodgers’ Low-A affiliate Rancho Cucamonga Quakes returned to action Tuesday for the first time since September 2019, defeating the Inland Empire 66ers, 3-1, at San Manuel Stadium behind a franchise-record 21 strikeouts.
Prior to the regular-season opener, the Quakes officially set their initial 30-man active roster, which includes notable Dodgers prospects Alex De Jesus and Jake Vogel.
De Jesus was part of the organization’s haul during the 2018-19 international signing period, and Vogel was selected in the third round of the 2020 MLB Draft. They were ranked the Nos. 16 and 17 prospects in the Dodgers farm system entering the 2021 season by MLB Pipeline.
