RHP Connor Spencer Nearing Return:

“He threw a bullpen (on Tuesday). Looked strong,” Bianco said. “One of the big question marks will be how he feels (on Wednesday). But the last few days, each day feeling better and better.

"I didn’t see the bullpen but talked to (pitching coach Joel) Mangrum and he’s like, ‘He hit 93 in the bullpen, easily, and felt comfortable and looked like his normal self.'”
