The outfielder for the Toronto Blue Jays Dunedin franchise leads the Single-A league in stolen bases (45), triples (13) and runs (88).

He’s batting .262 with seven home runs and 26 RBIs.

A second-round draft pick of the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008, Gose was involved in an organizational trade twice in a span of hours in July, going first to Houston, then Toronto.

FOOTBALL
Former Inglewood High School standout Shaquelle Evans has left Notre Dame’s football team and will transfer to another school.

Irish coach Brian Kelly said Tuesday the sophomore wide receiver didn’t give him a specific reason for wanting to leave. He says Evans didn’t see himself “fitting in the offense.”

Evans, one of the fastest receivers on the team, caught seven passes for 61 yards last season as a freshman. He was behind other receivers on the team’s depth chart.

Kelly says Evans will be granted his release so he can transfer to a school of his choice.
