Chris Iriart returns from injury for Single-A Beloit

(All stats through Sunday. Beloit played a Monday day game today because the minors are weird.)

Entering June, first baseman Chris Iriart was the best hitter on the Single-A Beloit Snappers and one of the best sluggers in the whole Midwest League. But on June 2, he was hit on the head by a pitch (by the son of Ivan Rodriguez!) and went on the disabled list. The most concrete update we got on the nature of the injury was this photo on Twitter:

You never really know what to expect with head injuries, and it's important to remember to put thoughts of the person before thoughts of the player.
