When P.O Joseph was a surprise late scratch for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 3 p.m. game against the Hershey Bears on Sunday, it naturally sent fans into a frenzy, given the proximity to Monday's trade deadline.
You can breathe, though.
I asked Wilkes-Barre head coach J.D. Forrest why Joseph was a late scratch, and he said that Joseph wasn't a healthy scratch, and he's not injured either.
"He just had a little illness," Forrest said. "Nothing major. We definitely missed him tonight. He's just day-to-day with that, that's it."
