KODAK, TN - Prior to the start of their six-game series against the Tennessee Smokies, the Biloxi Shuckers have made five roster moves. Catcher Jakson Reetz has been promoted to Triple-A Nashville, catcher Brent Diaz has been transferred to Biloxi from Nashville, outfielder Terence Doston has been transferred to High-A Wisconsin, while outfielders Tristen Lutz and Garrett Mitchell have both been activated from the injured list.

In 64 games with the Shuckers, Reetz slashed .281/.392/.636/1.028 with 16 doubles, 22 home runs, 58 RBI and 48 runs scored. At the time of his promotion, Reetz leads the Southern League in homers, slugging percentage and OPS, and was second in extra-base hits (38) and total bases (147). The catcher signed as a free agent and was originally drafted by the Washington Nationals in the third round of the 2014 draft out of Norris High School in Nebraska.
