In other news, Rob Lyerly is heading to North Carolina to get a second opinion on his injured shoulder and may need surgery, which sounds awfully familiar after this week. He was hitting .176/.263/.529 in 19 PA for Double-A Trenton before getting hurt. Graham Stoneburner threw a simulated game today; he’s been on the shelf with a groin strain.
