Span returns from DL, Pridie sent back down
June 24, 2009
Denard Span, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list due to an inner ear infection, has completed his rehab stint in Rochester and is being recalled to the 25-man roster. Jason Pridie, who was brought up in Span’s absence, is being sent back to Rochester.
Span played a pair of games in Triple-A Rochester with the Red Wings and got two hits in six at bats, including a double, with a run and an RBI. Span was also hit by a pitch during Tuesday night’s game which bruised the palm of his left hand. The bruised hand is a step up from the dizziness that Span was suffering prior to being put on the disabled list.
Jason Pridie stated that he was thrilled to be called up to the big leagues, however, he didn’t get much playing time while with the club. Gardenhire mentioned that Pridie would be used in a reserved role and the manager was right in that statement. Pridie only got to step on the field once as a ninth inning pinch runner for Jose Morales in their 6-5 loss to the Houston Astros on June 20th.
