News and Notes

Jul 4
Butler went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's game. Recommendation: The homer was his first since being called back up from Triple-A Omaha, and the RBI was also his first. He is 6-for-14 since being called back up, but starting still isn't a certainty. |
