Chris Withrow activated at Inland Empire

Last year’s first-round pick has been battling a tender elbow all season. Just checked with DeJon Watson, and they aren’t sure yet when he’ll make his first appearance or whether it will be as a starter or a reliever. But he is at an unusually high level (high Single-A) for a pitcher with his experience level, so they clearly want to challenge him a little bit. … Nothing new on last night’s protest, but the day is young.
