Player Notes:

Tonight's Dayton starting pitcher, Johnathan Harmon, returned from Tommy John elbow surgery on August 6 to make his first appearance in a Full-Season league since June 12, 2024 with the Dragons, when exited with elbow pain in the first inning. Harmon has allowed only two runs (one earned) in 9.2 innings in his two starts with the Dragons in 2025, posting an ERA of 0.93.

Tejay Antone joined the Dragons on an injury rehab assignment on August 13 and has made two scoreless appearances totaling 2.2 innings with the Dragons. His fastball has reached 96 mph in both outings. The appearance on Wednesday, August 13 was Antone's first in an official game since April 7, 2024 (with the Reds, against the Mets). Antone has undergone three major elbow surgeries that caused him to miss the entire seasons in 2017 and 2022 and nearly all of 2024. Antone spent the entire 2015 season with the Dragons and pitched in the MWL All-Star Game that season. He has appeared in 45 MLB games with Reds with a 2.47 ERA.

Carter Graham in his last 14 games is 16 for 50 (.320) with two home runs, four doubles, and seven RBI, raising his average from .194 to .234.

Johnny Ascanio in the series at Lansing went 7 for 17 (.412) with one home run, one double, and one triple.
