The hottest player in the Texas Rangers’ farm system is just happy to be playing again

(Hickory Crawdads)

The Hickory Crawdads were off Monday, as they have been every Monday in the new-look minor-league season.

So, no, Justin Foscue did not hit another home run.

He settled for dinner with his family and girlfriend, and the peace of mind that comes with being healthy and playing ball again.

Now, that’s a home run.

No swing changes have led to Foscue’s ridiculously hot return to Hickory after missing more than a month with a bizarre rib injury. He’s ecstatic to be back and says that, more than anything, led to him hitting home runs each of the first seven games he played after returning.
