Yunior Marte and Anthony Misiewicz both pitched for Omaha earlier in their careers, Marte in 2019 and Misiewicz in 2022. Marte will be returning to Werner Park for the first time against the Storm Chasers while Misiewicz is set to make his second appearance back. Marte made 23 appearances out of the bullpen for Omaha while Misiewicz made 8 relief appearances.

THE MISNER MASH

Omaha Storm Chasers outfielder Kameron Misner has been on a roll this year, leading the team in almost every offensive category. The last time Omaha hosted a series, he slashed .368/.455/.737 with 2 home runs, a double and 7 RBI against the Indianapolis Indians (April 14 to April 19). Misner followed that by hitting 2 home runs last series on the road against the Toledo Mud Hens.
