Janson Junk Strong in Triple-A Rehab Start
Janson Junk (elbow) was sharp in his first rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday. Junk threw five innings of one-run, three-hit ball with eight strikeouts and no walks over 61 pitches (45 strikes). That may end up as the lone rehab start for Junk, who has recovered well since he went on the 15-day injured list retroactive to Aug. 24 with ulnar-nerve irritation. He's eligible to return Sept. 8. The 29-year-old control artist has made 17 appearances (12 starts) in the majors this season and gone 6-2 with a 4.09 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, 61 strikeouts, and a paltry 10 walks over 88 innings.
