From Ben Cherington's team-produced weekly radio show:
• Cherington said Jared Jones will pitch Tuesday for Class AA Altoona as the team will keep him pitching home games between Altoona and Class AAA Indianapolis.
• On Jones pitching in the majors this month as he's eligible to come off the 60-day IL on May 26th, Cherington said, "He becomes a possibility, but we'll take it a day at a time, an outing at a time and just keep listening to him."
• On player development, Cherington said, “It’s an every day, intentional process. As soon as you think you have anything figured out in player development, you’re going to immediately fall behind. Because 29 other teams are trying to do it better all the time. I’ve lived that the hard way in the past in my own career. You can think something’s going well, then all of a sudden you wake up six months or two years later and you realize, ‘We stopped evolving and now we’re behind.’ We gotta keep the pedal down all the time.”
