The Trenton Thunder have received P J.B. Cox (pictured) from High-A Tampa and transferred P Grant Duff to the disabled list.
Cox, who struggled after coming back from arm issues, mysteriously left the Thunder last season and was believed to have retired. Not so. He resurfaced early this season and has appeared in five games for Tampa. He’s 0-1 with an 8.59 ERA, having allowed 14 hits and two walks in 7.1 innings of work. He’s struck out just four batters and has a batting average against of .400. Here’s hoping Coxie can get things straightened out up here, surprising as it may be that Trenton’s the place he’ll be attempting to do that.
No word on what the issue is with Duff.
