The start to Eloy Jiménez's rehab stint had to wait a game, as the Winston-Salem Dash's game against Hickory was rained out on Friday.
While we wait for Jiménez to make some news, a couple updates from other members of the Dash.
Yoelqui Céspedes: I'd missed James Fegan's overview of Céspedes' delayed start to his 2021 season, as it was buried at the bottom of his article about Lance Lynn.
His entrance to affiliated ball was delayed by over a month and a half due to work visa issues, and he is not expected to play the outfield until the middle of the month as he builds up strength in his right arm after a bout with shoulder soreness.
Luke Shilling: One of the best pitching stories from the White Sox's low minors has been put on hold.
This is Shilling's first Tommy John surgery, but the start of his pro career was delayed by a torn lat that required the same surgery Jake Peavy had.
