Yairo Munoz homers in second game back for Double-A Midland RockHounds

Infielder Yairo Munoz made his 2016 debut for the Double-A Midland RockHounds on Wednesday, and on Thursday he really got things going by drilling his first home run of the season. Overall he went 2-for-7 in his first two games back, with one walk and one strikeout. He also scored from first base on a double, which is nice to see from a player who was out because of his foot.

Munoz entered the year as one of the more exciting prospects in the system. That's partly because of his raw talent, but also due to his late-season breakout last year at High-A Stockton.
