Diamondbacks center fielder Chris Young is close to coming off the disabled list after doubling twice in a minor-league rehab game yesterday at Single-A.
It was Young’s second rehab outing and he’s expected to play one more game for Visalia before moving his assignment to Triple-A. From there a return to the Diamondbacks could happen at any time.
Young has been out since April 18 with a partially torn shoulder ligament that came from slamming into the outfield wall making a great catch. In his place Gerardo Parra and rookie A.J. Pollock have split time in center field, leaving Jason Kubel to play every day in left field.
Incidentally, the box score for the Single-A game Young played in yesterday is insane: He went 2-for-5 with three RBIs despite only playing a few innings and his Visalia team scored 11 runs on 19 hits … and lost by 15 runs. Seriously, it was a 26-11 game. Parents, don’t let your kids grow up to be California League pitchers.

Eagles left tackle Jason Peters reportedly has torn his reconnected Achilles tendon after falling out of his “Roll-A-Bout,” a scooter-looking contraption that may or may not be intended to accommodate a 340-pound human. (Acutally, the website shows a weight limit of 500 pounds for the SW-500.)
Howard Eskin of NBC 10, who also serves as the sideline reporter for the Eagles’ radio broadcasts, isn’t buying it. Appearing on Tuesday’s PFT Live, Eskin said he’s heard that Peters didn’t suffer the second tear by falling out of the Roll-A-Bout, and that Peters simply may have been doing too much walk-a-bout and too little Roll-A-Bout.
If/when Peters makes good on a vow to sue Roll-A-Bout, the lawyers for the company may want to find out how Eskin knows what he knows. And whether it’s from Eskin or someone else, the reps of Roll-A-Bout will get to the bottom of how Peters injured the bottom of his leg, again.
Eskin touched on a lot of other topics, too. But that’s the only one I recall with any significant clarity. You’ll have to watch the video to get to the rest.
