DotF: King fans eleven in Trenton’s shutout win

Two quick injury related notes to pass along:

• RHP Albert Abreu and IF Hoy Jun Park were placed on the High-A Tampa disabled list, the team announced. Not sure what’s wrong with either guy. Abreu had lat and elbow problems last year.
• An MRI showed 1B Tyler Austin has some inflammation in his back, according to DJ Eberle. He is receiving treatment and will see another doctor Monday “just to check it out.”
