What is the story with Graham Stoneburner? He has been on the DL for a lot longer than “7-Days”

Mark Newman himself told me stiff neck when he originally went on the DL. I asked Newman for an update a few days ago, and was told he and Garrison (remember him?) are rehabbing in Tampa with no set return date.
