With Might heading to the IL, the staff had an open spot on the energetic roster. Nevertheless, they determined to make it two.
Proper-handed pitcher Dylan Covey, following his unimaginable efficiency on Wednesday, was designated for project. With the 2 open roster spots, LHP Justin Bruihl — who was simply despatched down on Wednesday to make room for Covey — and RHP Andre Jackson are actually again with the staff.
