The Kannapolis Intimidators have carried on despite a couple of notable absences over the past week, one of which required a trip to the injured list, and one that hasn't, at least not yet.
*Corey Zangari hasn't played since May 10, a game he departed after flying out in his third at-bat. He's on the IL for reasons not yet disclosed, which isn't good. Between the Tommy John surgery in 2017 and the broken wrist in 2018, he's only played in 191 games since being drafted in 2015.
*Bryce Bush has missed the last two games, but there are no midgame departures to point to. He might just be getting a break, considering he's 2-for-16 with 10 strikeouts over his previous five games.
