Furcal getting closer

He continues to improve each day, and Grady called it a “day-to-day” thing now that Furcal is eligible to come off the DL.

In other minor-league news, Inland Empire catcher Lucas May has six hits and two walks in his past 10 plate appearances. He went 3 for 3 in Saturday’s win over High Desert, combining with Blake DeWitt to hit consecutive homers in the ninth inning.
