The Maracay, Venezuela native hit .178/.250/.247 with a home run and an RBI over 22 games for the Pelicans prior to the injury. As the everyday third baseman in 2018, Galindo hit .216/.276/.313 in 114 games with 21 doubles and six home runs. In 2017, before suffering a season-ending broken leg, he hit .290/.350/.432 with Low-A South Bend. Galindo entered the 2018 season as the No. 25 prospect in the Cubs system by MLB.com.

Durna comes to Myrtle Beach as Low-A South Bend's leading hitter, batting .304/.387/.437 over 76 games with the Cubs. The promotion followed a June in which he hit .372/.465/.535 with three doubles, three home runs and 14 RBIs over 25 games. A 15th round selection of the Cubs out of UC San Diego in 2018, Durna was an integral part of the championship Short Season Low A Eugene team that Pelicans manager Steve Lerud piloted in 2018, owning a .716 OPS over 24 games for the Emeralds in their first half of the season. With D2 UCSD, Durna hit .338 with 14 home runs and 112 RBIs over 140 games spanning three seasons with the Tritons. He was named a ABCA/Rawlings All-West Region First Team member in both his junior and sophomore seasons. The general biology major considered applying to medical school after graduation.

Zinn, who was a two-time draftee of the Cubs, makes his High-A debut. With Low-A South Bend this season, he hit .273/.341/.364 over 64 games. Between April 10 and May 16, Zinn reached in 23-straight games. The Pontotoc, Miss. Native spent his first two seasons in Mesa in 2016 and 2017 before playing 2018 with South Bend. Following being drafted in the 28th round by the Cubs in 2015 out of high school, Zinn honored his commitment to Mississippi State, but transferred to Itawamba Community College in Mississippi before playing a game for the Bulldogs. He was then drafted in 2016 by the Cubs in the 23rd round and signed after batting .408/.463/.456 in his one season.

Galindo will wear No. 41, Durna will wear No. 55 and Zinn will wear No. 1. The Pelicans roster now sits at 25 active players with five players on the Injured List.
