For the second straight year, infielder Yairo Munoz got off to a late start for Double-A Midland after opening the season on the disabled list. This time around he was delayed by a hamstring injury, and it cost him all of April. But he’s now been back in the lineup for a month, and he’s putting up decent numbers in the early going (in 99 plate appearances):
Munoz, 2017: .272/.303/.467, 105 wRC+, 2 HR, 5.1% BB, 20.2% Ks
He caught fire on the RockHounds’ latest road trip, going 10-for-27 (1.022 OPS) with five extra-base hits and only two strikeouts.
