Just so long as he doesn’t sprain his thumb slamming it into the base.  

Easily avoidable if he stops sliding headfirst.

I'm unclear on this - is Hays on a rehab stint in Bowie or is he just in Bowie?

I don't know though. He was in Norfolk to start, got injured, started in Frederick once healthy, then got bumped up to Bowie.

He was sent down to Frederick once he was deemed "healthy" after Extended Spring Training games. He is not on a "rehab" assignment for Norfolk or anything.

They are probably progressing him and since you don't use an option or anything when going between the minors, this was the best way.

Hays hit a three run homer last night, and raised his slash line at Bowie to .308/.357/.500.

[Yachtsman]

He is at it again. Two more homers today.

[interloper]

There we go. Let's get him back up to AAA and see what's up. 

[Ohfan67]

OPS .926 as of today. Whew. I feel better. 

[Frobby]

Hays went 2 for 4 with an RBI double today, and is currently hitting .288/.351/.558 since rejoining the Baysox, with 5 doubles, 3 homers and 11 RBI in 13 games.   

I’m thinking they’ll keep him at Bowie until the end of June, then promote him to Norfolk if he continues hitting well.

Or call him up to the O's today, with DJ Stewart injured

For some reason, they don't want to put him on the IL.

Wonder if this is based on his AA performance or just because Norfolk is running out of outfielders and there aren’t any better options to promote.

I’m fine with it just expected him in Bowie a bit longer than two weeks.

I think the plan was to have him AAA to start the year, but due to his injury, Frederick and Bowie have been more of a "rehab assignment" than anything.
