DotF: Judge extends hit streak to 14 games in Trenton’s win

Got some notes to pass along before we get to the game action:

• Finally, some good injury news. LHP Ian Clarkin (elbow) is currently pitching in Extended Spring Training games, according to Josh Norris. He started the season on the DL with tendinitis. No word on when he’ll join High-A Tampa, but at least he’s pitching.
• Both RHP Mark Montgomery and RHP Caleb Cotham were bumped up from Double-A Trenton to Triple-A Scranton, reports Donnie Collins. They’re replacing RHP Jose Ramirez and LHP Chris Capuano, at least temporarily.
• And finally, both 3B Eric Jagielo (No. 15) and SS Jorge Mateo (No. 19) make this week’s Prospect Hot Sheet. Jagielo in particular has been tearing the cover off the ball.
