The weekly roster of the Leones del Escogido will make an important change this Tuesday, when the club will officially enroll its new reinforcements Aaron Hicks and Aramis García, in addition to the return of the legendary Albert Pujols.
The outfielder Hicks, the receiver García and the first baseman and designated Pujols, were activating this Monday morning in the parallel league at the Quisqueya Stadium.
All three would be available from the first games this week, according to the Hairy Operations department.
But they will not be the only additions to the Lions roster of 38, since the capital team will also have the return of Engel Beltré, who is recovering from hamstring problems. “El Pikante,” as he is nicknamed, is hitting .542 (24-13) in 9 games this year.
Likewise, Major League Baseball infielder Willi Castro will also be able to return to play with the troop led by Rodney Linares.
As for pitching, the Chosen One will once again have relievers Gerson Bautista and Reyes Moronta available, who have combined for 11.1 innings of just 5 hits, 2 runs and 10 strikeouts.
Opener for this Tuesday
Daryl Thompson will make his second outing of the season when the Chosen One faces the Águilas Cibaeñas at 7:30 at the Cibao Stadium. The Lions are 9-11, three games behind the Eastern Stars (12-8).
