I almost forgot that it can be common to recover from a hamstring injury in just two or three weeks. 

Seems like whenever it happens to our guys they are usually out a month or longer.

Fantastic news.

I think even Diaz was only like 3 weeks. They don't all have to be season enders!

Really good to see him back. Let's hope he can stay healthy and move to Bowie in a few weeks!

I see he was removed after 3 at bats. Really hope not injury related.

I think this has been standard practice with a player coming back from an injury. If healthy, he should be in Bowie very soon.

Prieto is back. He should be in Bowie. Gunnar to AAA?

They could rotate Prieto in the IF at Bowie and give some guys a day off or DH them. That could buy them a few weeks in case it’s too early to promote Gunnar.

He's 23 and played professionally at a high level in Cuba. 

I'd skip him all the way to Triple A and see if he can float.  I rather do that than rush Gunnar, who is three years younger to Norfolk.

They could do a DH rotation as well. I don’t care about Dashbach, Fontana, or Mundy, losing ABs because of Prieto. So if you don’t want to rush Gunnar, then you have the DH rotation option. A good way to keep them all rested too.

A DH rotation will get some more ABs for Prieto at a higher level, but central to his value to the Orioles is what position he can play in the field. He needs time at middle infield spots.

Why would moving Gunnar to AAA right now be rushing him?  Seems to me that he is doing very well against AA competition and challenging him in AAA wouldn’t be a bad thing at all.

Personally I’d like to move him within two weeks if he continues to thrive.

Nope. In fact, it could be a great thing for him. These guys aren't delicate flowers...the ones who have made it this far have generally been working for this since LL.
