After a week off with a sprained finger, Dustin Ackley returns and goes 3-for-6 with a double and two singles. Overall he has two doubles, 1 HR and 5 H in his first 11 ABs in fall ball.
Meanwhile, in Venezuela, Johermyn Chavez -- after 52BB:131K in High Desert -- has either had a great turnaround in eye, or is finding the umpiring in his favor. He has 6 BB and only 3 K in his first 8 G, along with 12 H, including 3 doubles and a HR (.387/.486/.581).
Dan Cortes is being used in the closer role for Lara, and is unscored upon with 3 saves in 4 9th-inning appearances (the 4th one was a non-save situation). 3 walks and 3 Ks in 4.0 IP. Certainly appears to be a "grooming" situation.
On the down side, Alex Liddi (6-for-27 in VWL) and Matt Lawson (3-for-19 in AFL) are off to cold starts.
