Morning Report: Casey Sadler Returns to Indianapolis

While he didn't get into last night's extra inning contest, right-handed pitcher Casey Sadler made his return to Indianapolis on Monday. He was added to the roster prior to the game, while Dan Runzler was placed on the disabled list. It's been a long time since Sadler last played in Triple-A.

The 26-year-old Sadler has spent a lot of time at Pirate City recovering from Tommy John surgery, which occurred after the 2015 season. He was injured in late June of that year and attempted to rehab the injury first before opting for surgery. The timing of the surgery meant that he would miss the entire 2016 season.
