Morning, all!
Wyatt Langford has a grade 1 flexor strain in his right arm, which marks the fifth IL stint for a soft tissue injury in the first two years of his career. Skip Schumaker says it’s because he “has more muscles than most people.”
Langford is hoping to spend no more than the minimum amount of time on the IL.
Evan Carter was denied an ABS challenge last night because he had left the batter’s box on his way to first base on a called strike three.
Skip Schumaker described last night’s loss as a “weird”
one, with Jack Leiter coughing up the lead in the fifth after cruising to the first four innings and Cole Winn and Jalen Beeks giving up another lead in the ninth.
Leiter labeled the outing “beyond frustrating,” capped off as it was by his tripping over a pile of equipment while trying to back up a play.
