Dave Trembley said that he left Nolan Reimold behind today because he wanted him to get in a cage session with hitting coach Terry Crowley and get some at-bats in the "B" game against the Florida Marlins.
"I've got him scheduled to DH again,'' Trembley said. "He hasn't had as many at-bats as everybody else. We've been guarded with him, but we have a lot of time to catch up."
Trembley still wants to catch up on some mound time for his pitching staff, so he is considering an intrasquad game at the Ed Smith Stadium complex on Tuesday.
Infielder Robert Andino was scheduled to make an appearance at third base in Friday's game before it was rained out. He may get out there late in today's game. He got off to a very slow start at the plate, but busted out with a home run and a triple against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday night.
He was 1 for 15 before the home run, and the club is trying to get him to be more patient at the plate and to recognize -- as Trembley put it -- that "there's also a right and a center field."
"We're not concerned,'' Trembley said, "He knows that in order for him to be successful, he has to be more patient at the plate and less of a free swinger."
