DotF: Big days for Sanchez, Cave, Bird, Judge, and Severino

In case you missed it earlier, RHP Preston Claiborne has been placed on the Triple-A DL with a shoulder injury. He is essentially the team’s eighth reliever at the moment, the guy they call up with they need a fresh arm.

Triple-A Scranton was rained out. They will make this game up as part of a doubleheader on July 10th.
