23 May 2296 - Samm Almost Ready
Team doctors reported that the pace of recovery for Josh Samm has been hampered by several recent setbacks and they have reassessed his injury situation. Despite some complications, if all goes well, the Diamond City Swatters closer should rejoin the club in five days. Samm is suffering from bullet wounds.
Six weeks ago, Samm was shot with a minigun by his girlfriend's lover, Max Lurkheart. Neither Lurkheart nor Samm's former girlfriend Velma Scoby have been found, and they are not believed to be in the Commonwealth currently. Samm returned fire, where it was assumed he struck one of either Lurkheart or Scoby, but neither was known to be treated for their injuries.
Samm made only one appearance on the season before his gunshot wounds. In one inning pitched, he allowed one hit, walked a batter, and struck out two. He recorded a save for the Swatters in that game.
