DotF: Good games from Judge and Refsnyder not enough in Scranton’s loss

Two quick roster moves. Well, I guess it’s really three:

• OF Tyler Austin was activated off the Triple-A Scranton DL, according to Donnie Collins. It was a short two-week stint. Not sure what was wrong with him. RHP Jaron Long was sent down to Double-A Trenton to clear a roster spot. Triple-A has not been kind to the former hitting coach’s hit.
• OF Brandon Thomas has been released, reports Nick Flammia. Thomas was the team’s eighth round pick in 2013, one year after being a fourth round pick by the Pirates. He fell in the draft because he had mono his senior year at Georgia Tech and was never at full strength. Thomas hit .209/.308/.317 in exactly 200 minor league games.
