Down on the Farm: Javy’s Getting Closer

Down in Arizona, the big league club is getting healthier by the day, with Olt starting to take batting practice after having the cast removed from the fracture in his forearm. With players like Mike Baxter and Jonathan Herrera filling roles on the major league roster that they weren’t necessarily expected to, players getting healthy and returning will make the entire system healthier, as the players expected to serve as minor league depth will likely reclaim their places in Iowa.

Notable Injuries:

Logan Watkins (60 Day DL, Out for Season, Torn Achilles Tendon), Will Remillard (60 Day DL, Out for Season, Tommy John Surgery), Trey McNutt (60 Day DL, Shoulder), Jose Rosario (60 Day DL, Tommy John Surgery), Anthony Carter (7 Day DL), Barret Loux (7 Day DL), Daniel Schlereth (7 Day DL), John Andreoli (7 Day DL), Michael Jensen (7 Day DL), Pierce Johnson (Extended Spring Training, Lat Strain), Rob Zastryzny (7 Day DL), Matt Brazis (7 Day DL), Michael Wagner (7 Day DL), Tyler Pearson (Inactive), Dan Vogelbach (7 Day DL), Erick Castillo (7 Day DL), Shawon Dunston, Jr.
