The Lake Elsinore Storm, after winning the first half of their Single-A division, has dropped to third place with a record just above.500. Teams have played limited games since the All-Star break. Good news includes the recovery of Jose Leclerc, who is expected to bolster the Padres' bullpen next month. El Paso Chihuahuas and San Antonio Missions are also dealing with player movements and inconsistent results, with key hitters emerging but overall records remaining under.500.
