803 MinorsThread: Schafer Begins Rehab (late Fri. scores, too)
One rehab stint ends, another one begins.
Taking BJ Upton's place atop the Gwinnett lineup Saturday was a very frustrated and eager Jordan Schafer, who was playing the best baseball of his brief major league career when he fracrured his foot while fouling off a pitch. It took way too many days to get it properly diagnosed.
Schafer seemed close to being ready after just one night as the Gwinnett DH in Durham: 1-4 with a double and RBI and no strikeouts.
Upton's rehab lasted only three games because a roster spot became available when Laird when on the DL with kidney stones. Stands to reason that Cunningham goes back whenever Schafer is allowed to return.
