@betaiota389: “Carpenter coming back anytime soon?”
@AndrewH68919467: “IL stint coming, question is who the call goes to”
Evan Woodbery: “Ben Malgeri enters to play left field in the 3rd inning, replacing Riley Greene, who was hit by a pitch on his shin the previous inning. Greene looked fine and even scored from first on Spencer Torkelson’s double. But presumably a precautionary exit to get checked out.”
