DotF: Jorge Mateo steals 81st base in Tampa’s win
The minor league season ends in about two weeks, and although LHP Ian Clarkin has not pitched in an official game this season, he is currently throwing off a mound based on his Instagram feed. Clarkin’s been out since dealing with some elbow inflammation back in Spring Training. Hopefully he gets healthy enough to pitch in Instructional League in a few weeks. Maybe even in the Arizona Fall League or winter ball somewhere.
