A couple things to look for as a fresh week of minor league baseball got underway on Tuesday:
Rehab stints: Luis Robert and Jake Lamb hit the road with the Knights to Gwinnett.
Micker Adolfo and Jake Burger: Wes Helms said they could be back in the lineup as soon as Tuesday. They were not, so we'll see if their wrist and shoulder-area injuries are worse than initially let on.
Draft picks: Adam Hackenberg, a catcher drafted out of Clemson in the 18th round and signed for $125,000 made his debut in Arizona on Tuesday, which I believe makes him the first of the drafted position players to take the field.
