TYLER THE DEBUTER: RHP TYLER SCHOFF made his Triple-A debut last night against the Indianapolis Indians...he tossed 1.0 inning of work, giving up three earned runs...Schoff is the 79th player, and 41st pitcher to suit up for the Wings this season, two behind their 2022 total (81), which is a franchise record...
