Bryan Corey (Thousand Oaks High, Pierce College) was promoted Tuesday from triple-A Tucson to the Arizona Diamondbacks’ roster. Corey, drafted by the Detroit Tigers as a shortstop, had a 3-0 record, a 1.70 earned-run average and 10 strikeouts with only one walk in 10 innings for Tucson.

Jon Garland (Kennedy) has been listed as the Chicago Cubs’ No. 3 prospect by The Sporting News.

A first-round pick in June, Garland pitched five innings Monday night for Class-A Rockford. He struck out two, allowed nine hits and five runs and did not factor in the decision in a 6-5 Midwest League loss to Fort Wayne.

The 6-foot-5, 200-pound right-hander impressed the Chicago front office during the Arizona Fall League, where he struck out 39 in 40 innings and was 3-2 with a 2.70 ERA for Mesa. After five starts at Rockford, he is 0-1 with a 4.81 ERA and has allowed 20 runs, 13 earned.

Left-hander Randy Wolf (El Camino Real), has received another award. Wolf was selected the Howe Sportsdata Minor League Pitcher of the Month in April.

Last week, Wolf received pitcher of the month honors for the Philadelphia Phillies organization.
