MiLB Season Heating Up As Salt Lake Bees Prepare For May

SALT LAKE CITY— The Salt Lake Bees lost a pair of players for good reason as they continued the longest road trip of 2024 in Oklahoma City. Versatile utility man Cole Tucker and starting pitcher Davis Daniel were called up by the Los Angeles Angels on Monday, April 29.

Tucker hit .313 with a homer, two doubles, and five RBI in ten games for the Bees after signing a minor league contract with the Angels earlier in April. Daniel is 0-3 with a 6.08 ERA and 26 strikeouts in five starts.

Second baseman Jack Lopez leads Salt Lake with three home runs. His 13 RBI are tied with former Kansas City Royal Hunter Dozier for the team lead. Willie Calhoun has driven in 12 while speedy Bryce Teodosio has four doubles, a PCL-leading six triples, and 11 runs knocked in.

Jordyn Adams is fourth in the PCL with 11 stolen bases, setting his sights on the franchise single-season stolen base record (44) he set in 2023. Teodosio and Lopez have six steals each.
