Angel Hernandez Rehab Tour Begins in Charlotte

Injured Major League umpire Angel Hernandez worked his first rehab assignment in Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, calling the Redbirds-Knights minor league game at third base as he works his way back to MLB.

Hernandez joined Anthony Perez, Reed Basner, and James Jean for a crew of four. This is standard procedure for a medium-to-long term umpire injury, to test out how the umpire feels physically and get things back to speed. If all the checkboxes pass muster, just a few rehab games are needed before the umpire will return to the major leagues.

Also rehabbing in Charlotte was White Sox injured list third baseman Yoán Moncada as both baseball personnel work on returning to their respective MLB roles.
