McFarland: Sabrowski returns early to Guardians’ ranks from second Tommy John surgery
“It might still be early, but Erik Sabrowski is exceeding expectations in restarting his professional baseball journey.
Following his second Tommy John surgery since 2018, the Edmonton-area product was hoping to make his debut in the Cleveland Guardians system sometime in late-June or early-July.
Much to the delight of his teammates, friends, family and those who have known Sabrowski, there he was on May 23, recording a strikeout in extended spring training action.
A week later, he had officially graduated from rehabilitation and was assigned to the double-A Akron RubberDucks.”

Verge: Versatile, confident Juenger ready for call-up from Jays
“In his personal life, Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect Hayden Juenger is quiet, reserved. He keeps to himself.
A lot of time spent with family. A little bit of hunting, a little bit of fishing.
That’s who he is.
Only baseball changes that. When the 6-foot right-hander steps on the mound at Sahlen Field in New York for the triple-A Buffalo Bisons, his disposition shifts.”

McFarland: Shakotko to star in Lethbridge, same city as hockey-playing dad before him
“It would have been easy for Demetri Shakotko to follow in his father’s footsteps.
Darren Shakotko had a successful sports career that included a Western Hockey League (WHL) championship with the Lethbridge Hurricanes in 1996-1997. His puck pursuits continued at the University of New Brunswick, followed by a few seasons in the East Coast Hockey League and Central Hockey League.
While Demetri did excel on the ice growing up in Fredericton, his real passion was on the baseball field.
So when it came time to make a decision about what to pursue, the young man didn’t hesitate and faced no pressure from his father.”
