ABOUT LAST GAME: Fort Wayne floundered at Lake County on Wednesday afternoon, 3-0.

ROSTER MOVES: The Padres placed right-handed reliever Seth Lucio on Fort Wayne's disabled list today. Additionally, San Diego sent right-handed pitcher Nick Monroe to the TinCaps from the Arizona League and left-handed pitcher Travis Radke to the TinCaps from Short-Season A Tri-City.

ABOUT THE NEW GUY (PART I): Monroe is the first member of San Diego's 2015 draft class to be assigned to Fort Wayne. The 21-year-old was selected in the 21st round out of UNC Wilmington (the same school as 2014 TinCaps reliever Justin Livengood - the two were teammates together with the Seahawks in 2013). In the AZL, Monroe pitched 8 times in relief and didn't allow an earned run over 11.1 IP. He had 18 strikeouts and only 1 walk.

ABOUT THE NEW GUY (PART II): Radke was drafted by the Padres last year in the 25th round out of the University of Portland. He pitched for Short-Season A Eugene last year (remember, San Diego's Northwest League affiliation changed during the offseason). With Tri-City this season, Radke started 6 games and went 2-2 with a 3.41 ERA. He had the best BB% in the Northwest League (0.8%) and the 6th best K% (24%).

NATIONAL HOT DOG DAY: Yes, that's a thing, and it's today. Parkview Field sold 14.6-miles worth of hot dogs last year. Now seems like a good time to mention that Parkview Field has also been recognized before as one of the most vegetarian friendly ballparks in Minor League Baseball.

UP NEXT: Tonight is Fort Wayne's final game at Lake County this season. After the game, the TinCaps will bus 477 miles southwest to Bowling Green, Ky., where they'll start a three-game series at Bowling Green Ballpark on Friday night.
