Endersby leaves Yucatán

The party is over, and harsh reality returns for many teams. The Yucatán Lions, fueled by the "Art Charles factor" in the All-Star Game, must begin to push against the tide, no matter what, and tonight they will host the Puebla Pericos in the first game of the series at the Kukulcán Stadium.

The Lions will face this restart without three players, following the losses of infielder Diosbel Arias and catcher Ramón Cabrera, announced Sunday, and right-hander Jimmy Endersby, who signed a minor league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Endersby has a 2-1 record, with a 4.70 ERA in seven appearances, four as a starter.

Puebla arrives with a 30-28 record, and the Lions host them with a 26-33 win-loss record, in seventh place in the South Zone.

During the break for the all-star classic, the Diablos Rojos del México acquired via loan one of the key men of the first half, Allen Córdoba, who led the Charros de Jalisco's great season in base steals (28 steals), one of the bombshell news at the “Alfredo Harp Helu” Stadium. — Gaspar Silveira Malaver
