Rays prospects and minor leagues: Honeywell shut down, per report

Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times had the report:

There was some good news elsewhere in the organization, however:

I thought Shane Baz would start with with Bowling Green, so it’s good to see him earn the assignment there a month into the season.

Triple-A Durham Bulls (17-14)

Durham came back to earn a 4-3 win over Lehigh Valley. The IronPigs scored twice to go ahead 3-1 in the bottom of the sixth, but in the top of the seventh, an error allowed two Bulls runs to score.
