RHP Tink Hence (AAA) will begin a rehab assignment with Palm Beach (A) today.

EE-shawn article https://www.scoopswithdannymac.com/ixan ... e-hitters/

I wish Bader was still with the Cardinals....the chance to say "Harry and the Henderson"....sigh, I was ROBBED of a great opportunity....COMEDY GOLD, Jerry!!!

Enjoy the article, ignore my disturbedness....down with the sickness

LHP Brycen Mautz (AA) has been placed on the 7-day IL.

C Wade Stauss (AA) has been reinstated from the Development List.

RHP Ryan Shreve (AAA) & C Chase Adkison (A+) have been placed on the Development List.

He couldn't lift the right leg...reminded of an ACL injury, I couldn't lift mine in a pitching/kick motion. The right leg is the landing leg/foot for LHP .

They didn't give a injury update, so it's a Knee/Ankle/Foot injury. I hope it's not ACL . I know it's not Achilles , he would've been on the ground wailing

Rajcic pitched really well last week, and for the month of May he's only allowed 2 ER. He still has yet to complete 6 innings in a start. I look for him to build of this last start of 5 1/3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 K performance from last week, and to go 6 plus innings this week.

You're trending in the right direction, Max...keep it up.

Bernal is heating up? I hope so, he had struggled for the better part of 6-7weeks to start the season. Last night's 5 RBI performance was impressive...I'd like to see more productivity each week. Repeating games like that is impossible, but being productive isn't, not for Bernal...we've seen him be productive week in and week out with Peoria.

1-2 innings is the expectation today for Tink.

Palm Beach 0, Daytona 0 ; Top 1st / Just about to start

Tink Hence takes the mound

Palm Beach 0, Daytona 0 ; Top 1st

Tink Hence ~ 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K .... 16 pitches, 9 strikes

Travis Honeyman leads off

Tink got behind on his first batter....3-0 count. First 3 pitches were 91-93mph ....reared up to 95mph at the end of the first AB

Slider sitting 85-87mph

Picked off the runner on 1B to end the inning.

after the first batter, he seemed to have shaken off the rust....pretty crisp in delivery and command. Slider looked really good. Fastball was humming at 93-94mph to the 2nd-4th hitter.

--------------

Note ~ 1 inning is probably it
