EDGE Analysis

The lefty threw a pair of scoreless innings on Saturday and Sunday in his first back-to-back appearances of the spring. Manager Ned Yost seemed pleased with how Minor bounced back after working Saturday, saying Minor "passed a big test" and had "really good stuff" Sunday. Minor has allowed just one run on five hits and four walks while striking out 11 batters in 12 total Cactus League innings.
