DotF: Austin and Avelino go deep in Scranton’s win

RHP Domingo German, who left yesterday’s start with a biceps issue, has been placed on the Triple-A disabled list, the team announced. RailRiders manager Bobby Mitchell told Conor Foley that German has been diagnosed with ulnaritis (nerve irritation, basically) and will be shut down ten days. He could return to the mound soon after that. Good news, all things considering.
