Irvin Nears Return After Strong Rehab
20 Jul
Summary
- Irvin completed 4.2 scoreless innings in a rehab start.
- He allowed only one hit and no walks over 4.2 innings.
- Irvin has not allowed a run across 7.2 rehab innings.
Right-hander Irvin demonstrated effective performance during his second rehab assignment start for Double-A Harrisburg on Sunday. He pitched 4.2 scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and zero walks while facing one batter over the minimum.
Irvin threw 51 pitches, with 35 strikes, as he continues his recovery from a shoulder strain. His minor league rehab efforts have been impressive, maintaining a perfect 8:0 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 7.2 innings without surrendering any runs.
To prepare for his return from the 60-day injured list, Irvin will likely require one or two additional rehab starts. These outings are intended to gradually increase his pitch count to between 70 and 80 pitches.
