The team announced this morning that Alex Avila was placed on the 10 day IL and Tim Locastro was recalled from AAA Reno.
The Avila injury happened in Friday nights game after he rounded first and was on his way to 2b. Oddly enough I remember noticing at the time he really slowed down as he entered his home run trot but figured he was just living up to his “Slo-Mo” nickname. Turns out thats when he tweaked it.
Torey Lovullo said since then he was limited in what he could do, and although he pinch hit last night, it wasn’t right, so they decided to play it safe and put him on the IL
Torey had previously spoken about feeling like they were a little thin at outfield, so calling up Locastro is no surprise.
