DeJong wants batting average to be more than average

CARLSON GOES TO MEMPHISSwitch-hitting center fielder Dylan Carlson has been promoted from Class AA Springfield to Class AAA Memphis to replace Randy Arozarena, who is here now, athough Shildt didn’t have much information on Carlson’s move. “He had a nice year in Double-A, he played in the Futures Game and he’s getting an opportunity in Triple-A,” Shildt said. “What that looks like is out of my pay grade.”

O’NEILL, MARTINEZ UPDATESO’Neill, out more than two weeks, is just starting to swing the bat against balls flipped to him and against the pitching machine while Martinez, said Shildt, will receive a cortisone shot before he resumes hitting.
