Overview
- The outfielder, who had battled dizziness and nausea since spring training, broke out with seven hits in 11 plate appearances over the weekend against Arizona.
- He saw a vertigo specialist in Phoenix before the series and left with exercises to address the symptoms.
- Sportsnet reported the drills improved his ability to track the ball, and Lukes said he had been "physically messed up" when the world felt like it was spinning.
- He had opened the year 0-for-23 and 3-for-32, then delivered a pinch-hit single to start the series followed by back-to-back three-hit games, including three RBI that halted a four-game slide.
- Sportsnet’s Arden Zwelling reported a vertigo diagnosis and team medical clearance to keep playing, while manager John Schneider continued to start him, even giving him a turn in the leadoff spot.
