## Resource

Drew Thorpe, a pitcher who’s battled through two years of injuries—including Tommy John surgery and an appendectomy—made his triumphant return to the mound Saturday, pitching two scoreless innings and striking out three. After a grueling rehab journey, he’s feeling strong, added a new sinker to his arsenal, and is set to start again Friday for High-A Dash, with a gradual return plan aiming for a possible big league comeback by August or September. Manager Will Venable is optimistic, eager to see Thorpe help fuel the team’s playoff push after everything he’s overcome.
