Remember when I mentioned RHP Garrett Whitlock was placed on the High-A Tampa disabled list yesterday? I just remembered he was hit by a comebacker in his last start, reportedly in the shin. The DL stint is probably related to that. Chances are they waited a few days to see whether it felt any better, and when it didn’t, they put him on the DL. It was probably (hopefully) something like that.
