DotF: Kelley, Cervelli continue rehab in AAA win

According to his Twitter feed, RHP Ty Hensley will throw three innings in an Extended Spring Training game tomorrow. He’s working his way up to five innings. The two short season leagues open their seasons in a little less than two weeks, so it seems like he’ll be stretched out just in time to join one of ’em.

Triple-A Scranton (7-4 win over Toledo)

• LF Jose Pirela: 0-3, 1 R, 1 BB — not his first time playing left field, in case you were wondering … he’s done it plenty of times in the past
• C Frankie Cervelli: 0-4 — picked a runner off second with a snap throw … caught all nine innings for the first time during his rehab assignment
• CF Adonis Garcia: 2-2 — left the game for an unknown inning after singling and running the bases in the third
• RF Zoilo Almonte: 1-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 K
• SS Zelous Wheeler: 2-4, 1 R, 2 RBI
• 3B Scott Sizemore: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 K
• DH Austin Romine: 1-2, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB — 12-for-37 (.324) with four doubles, two homers, six walks, and eight strikeouts in his last ten games
• RHP Shawn Kelley: 1 IP, 1 Hm 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 3/0 GB/FB — 11 of 16 pitches were strikes (69%), plus he threw some more pitches in the bullpen afterward according to Donnie Collins … Kelley told Collins he doesn’t know what the next step will be, but he assumes he will join the big league team
• RHP Joel De La Cruz: 4 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 1 Balk, 6/2 GB/FB — 43 of 62 pitches were strikes (69%)
• RHP Danny Burawa: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K — 0/1 GB/FB — 13 of 20 pitches were strikes (65%)

Double-A Trenton got rained out.

• CF Jake Cave: 2-4
• SS Cito Culver: 2-3 — 6-for-17 (.353) with three doubles in his last five games
• 1B Greg Bird: 0-4, 2 k — still waiting for his bat to come off the disabled list
• 3B Dante Bichette Jr.: 1-4, 2 K
• LHP Daniel Camarena: 6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 7 K, 1 WP, 5/4 GB/FB — rebounds from a very rough outing … he’s now allowed no more than one earned run in six of his last seven games

Low-A Charleston (6-2 win over Greenville)

• LF Michael O’Neill: 0-4, 1 R, 1 BB
• SS Tyler Wade: 1-4, 1 R, 1 BB — got picked off first

• CF Dustin Fowler: 3-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 K
• 2B Gosuke Katoh: 2-4, 1 RBI — got picked off first
• RHP Luis Severino: 5.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 6 K, 6/4 GB/FB, 1 E (fielding) — 57 of 89 pitches were strikes (64%) … apparently the other team had him checked for a foreign substance at one point
