Shed Long Jr. Begins Rehab Assignment Friday
3 years agoSeattle Mariners second baseman Shed Long Jr. (shin) began a rehab assignment Friday with the club's Triple-A affiliate, the Tacoma Rainiers. Long Jr. had six at-bats while batting second and playing second base, producing one single while striking out twice. It's been a more difficult road back from shin surgery than initially expected for Long Jr., who was expected to compete for the starting second base job in spring training this season. Long Jr. will be a fringe fantasy option when he is eventually called to the majors, offering a little power and a little speed.
