Mat Batten, Taylor Kohlwey and Robbie Podorsky are the three players who are taking the next step.
As of 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, the three players who were reported to be headed from San Antonio to El Paso are no longer listed on the Missions’ roster on the team website.
The Chihuahuas needed reinforcements after some of their players were called up by the short-handed San Diego Padres.
Podorsky is an outfielder and played in all of the Missions’ first seven games and was batting .370.
Kohlwey is a first baseman and was batting .240 in six games.
Batten is a third baseman and was batting .174 in six games.
None of the three was in the Missions’ lineup tonight as they played on the road against the Midland RockHounds.
UPDATE: Infielder Olivier Basabe has joined the Missions, coming up from Class-A Fort Wayne. The 23-year-old from Venezuela batted .273 in 11 games in Fort Wayne.
Basabe entered Wednesday night’s Missions game and played second base after Eguy Rosario left with an injury. Basabe went 1-for-1 with a single and an RBI in the Missions’ 9-2 road loss to the Midland RockHounds.
