Got some notes…
- C Austin Romine has finally made it back to Triple-A after missing half the season with a back injury and playing a few weeks’ worth of rehab games. He’ll join the club tomorrow and presumably split catching duties with C Frankie Cervelli.
- Hard-throwing RHP Corey Black has been bumped up to Low-A Charleston. I unofficially count four 2012 draftees playing in full season leagues already, which seems like an awful lot. Maybe it’s the new signing deadline.
- Triple-A Scranton announced their 2013 schedule, with the newly renovated PNC Field set to open on April 4th. All indications are that construction is going well and the park will be ready on time.
- In case you missed it earlier, we had an injury update on LHP Manny Banuelos and a discouraging report on SS Cito Culver.
