DotF: Garcia goes deep twice in Charleston’s win

RHP Domingo Acevedo was scheduled to throw a bullpen session today, according to Matt Kardos. He’s been out with a blister since April 11th. Good news. Seems like Acevedo will be able to return sooner rather than later.

The Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders were rained out. They’re going to play a doubleheader tomorrow. Brandon Drury was in today’s lineup at third base to continue his rehab assignment.
